8.00, others start at
9.00, some start at a perfect score of
10.00, so you have to pick a
10.00 vault, to have a chance of earning a perfect score. , Don't slow down, or stagger; you must sprint before mounting the vault. , Then reach over, keep a tight body, and look at the vault. , Just try your best; if you keep trying, you'll get a perfect score someday. -
