Coach Bisweswar Nandi has already started thinking to invent a new vault for his student Dipa Karmakar. Karmakar has been the first female gymnast to have represented India in an Olympics and missed the medal by whisker in Rio Games, finishing 4th.
Who
is
Dipa?"

Dipa?
Dipa, after coming back from Rio Olympics had already revealed that she wanted to introduce a vault that could be exclusively after her name like Produnova vault which has been named after Yelena Produnova. (Want to win gold in Tokyo 2020: Dipa)
And
Nandi,
speaking
on
the
issue
recently,
said,
“Yes,
I
have
already
begun
to
think
about
a
new
vault.
I
have
not
yet
decided
the
name
of
the
vault.
But
so
far
I
have
thought
of,
it
can
be
called
Produnova
half-turn.
It
will
be
Produnova
vault
but
with
a
little
more
variety.
It
will
be
tougher.
So
I
am
not
expecting
that
Dipa
will
be
able
to
execute
this
vault
and
bring
medal
immediately.
She
will
take
time
to
master
it."
But
what
is
going
to
be
the
new
vault,
to
be
exclusively
set
up
by
Dipa's
coach.
Nandy
gave
a
hint
saying,
“In
case
of
Produnova
the
gymnast
gives
two
somersaults
in
the
air
and
finishes
it
with
a
straight
front-facing
landing.
"But in the case of new vault which I have thought of, Dipa will be making a half-half-turn which landing after unleashing the usual two somersaults in the air. But she needs to go up more in the air and she also requires a few more seconds in the air. Otherwise she will not be getting time for the half-turn. It is easy to say, but truly difficult to execute."
But at the same time, Nandi is optimistic that his student who has tremendous determination and zeal will also be able to adopt and implement the new vault in a perfect manner.
He added, “Regarding the new vault, my aim is that Dipa can show it in the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. And before that, looking forward to the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games in 2018, Dipa will be aiming at the medals by executing Produnova itself."
