Vertical Jump of a Gymnast

I've heard claims coach's athletes jumping higher than everybody with the exception of athletes who do GST + olynmpic lifting. I'd like to know how high they're jumping - what's their standing vert? And what sports and level of athlete were being compared?

 

A high level sprinter/jumper usually has a standing vert around 40", and some will do OL as part of their training. I can't imagine a gymnast doing this or higher.

Precision in language please.  Higher than everyone who has attended our seminars.

 

Yours in Fitness,

Coach Sommer

And to be fair, how many professional sprinters will want/need to go to a gymnastics seminar?

 

Although really, they'd probably learn a lot of good stuff that would help with their training....
