Question: What is another name for the vaulting platform?
About the article "Gymnastics", section "Vault".

Candidate passages:
In chair vaulting the acrobat jumps or tumbles over the chair.
Sometimes the chair is used as a launching platform and sometimes it is carried by the athlete while performing the vault. 
Artistic events for women.
In the vaulting events gymnasts sprint down a runway, jump onto or perform a roundoff entry onto a springboard (run/ take-off segment), land momentarily, inverted on the hands on the vaulting horse, or vaulting table (pre flight segment), then sprint off of this platform to a two footed landing (post flight segment).
Every gymnast starts at a different point on the vault runway depending on their height and strength.
The post flight segment may include one or more multiple saltos or somersaults, and/or twisting movements.
Round-off entry vaults are the most common vaults in elite level gymnastics.
In vaults with roundoff entries, gymnasts "round-off" so hands are on the runway while the feet land on the springboard (beatboard).
From the roundoff position the gymnast travels backwards as in a backhandspring so that the hands land on the vaulting platform (horse).
She then blocks off the vaulting platform into various twisting and/or somersaulting combinations.
The post flight segment brings the gymnast to her feet.
In 2001, the traditional vaulting horse was replaced with a new apparatus, sometimes known as a tongue or vaulting table.
The new apparatus is more stable, wider, and longer than the older vaulting horse—approximately 1m in length and 1m in width—giving gymnasts a larger blocking surface, and is therefore considered safer than the vaulting horse used in the past.
With the addition of this new, safer vaulting table, gymnasts are attempting more difficult and dangerous vaults.
It is believed by some that the origins of vaulting could be traced to the ancient Roman games, where acrobats usually displayed their skills on cantering horses.
Others, however, believe that vaulting originated in ancient Crete, where Bull-leaping was prevalent.
In either case, people have been performing acrobatic and dance-like movements on (or over) the backs of moving horses/animals for more than 2,000 years.
Renaissance and Middle Ages history include numerous references to vaulting or similar activities.
The present name of the sport/art comes from the French "La Voltige," which it acquired during the Renaissance, when it was a form of riding drill and agility exercise for cavalry riders.
Modern vaulting developed in post-war Germany as an initiative to introduce children to equestrian sports.
In 1983, vaulting became one of the disciplines recognized by the FEI.
European Championships were first held in Ebreichsdorf, Austria in 1984, and the first FEI World Vaulting Championship was held in Bulle, Switzerland in 1986.
Vaulting was included in the World Equestrian Games in Stockholm in 1990 and in all subsequent editions of the games.
It was demonstrated as an art during the 1984 and 1996 Olympic Games events.
It has been included in the Inter Africa Cup since 2006.
The first World Cup Vaulting competition was held in Leipzig on 29–30 April 2011. 
British Equestrian Vaulting is the governing body for the sport of equestrian vaulting in Great Britain, responsible for all aspects of coaching and development.
The organisation also selects competitors for Team GBR.
It is one of the 16 organisations which form part of the British Equestrian Federation. 
Equestrian vaulting, or simply Vaulting, is most often described as gymnastics and dance on horseback, which can be practised both competitively or non-competitively.
Vaulting has a history as an equestrian act at circuses, but its origins stretch back at least two-thousand years.
It is open to both men and women, and is one of ten equestrian disciplines recognized by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports (Fédération Équestre Internationale or FEI).
Therapeutic or Interactive vaulting is also used as an activity for children and adults who may have balance, attention, gross motor skill, or social deficits.
Vaulting's enthusiasts are concentrated in Europe and other parts of the Western world.
It is well-established in Germany and is growing in other western countries.
Vaulting was first introduced in the United States in the 1950s and 60s, but was limited only to California and other areas of the west coast.
More recently, it is beginning to gain popularity in the United States northeast.
