Amanar
The Amanar for women (or Shewfelt for men) is a skill in vault of artistic gymnastics. The vault was named after the first gymnast to perform it at the World Championships or Summer Olympics: Simona Amânar of Romania for women, and Kyle Shewfelt of Canada for men. Both were originated at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. The vault belongs to the Yurchenko family consisting of a roundoff onto the springboard, back handspring onto the vaulting platform and then 2½ twists into a layout back salto off the table. Although the vault officially has two names after two athletes, the Amanar is more commonly used for both sexes.
