Gymnast Dipa Karmakar may switch from the ‘vault of death’ Produnova to ‘Handspring 540’ at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia.

“There is a Handspring 540 degree turn which could be there (at CWG). It’s a twist movement in the air.

“In the handspring front movement, it’s the most difficult vault but below Produnova.

“My main target is 2020 Olympics. If I can perform this Handspring 540 with perfection I can win a medal (at CWG). Produnova will also continue.”
