Mitsuo Tsukahara

The Tsukahara vault, a round-off or quarter turn on to the horse followed by a back salto off, was first shown by the Japanese gymnast in the early 1970s and became one of the most widely used vault families in both men's and women's gymnastics. He also won Olympic high bar gold in 1972 and 1976 and was part of Japan's long run of Olympic team titles. Few skills have been built upon so many times.
