∙ 12y agoA pommel is derived from a horse, which was used originally. A few decades ago, it was used as a vault, in which the gymnasts would jump onto a spring device, and put their hands on the pommel table, and they would perform varioius moves in the air before they landed. Girls positioned the pommel horizontally as they went up to the vault, and the boys placed it longly.
