That's because the men's World Cup makes billions of dollars. The women's World Cup doesn't make anywhere near that.

DawnDavenport August 11, 2016 Share August 11, 2016 Just now, Daisy said: I really wish they hadn't. i always liked vault, and one is not enough. Yeah it was weird change. Until '96, the gymnast could do the same vault and in the team comp., the highest score counted and the same applied until after '92. Starting in '93 in the all around, the gymnast could do the same vault but the scores were averaged. Starting in '97, the gymnasts still did two vaults but they had to do two different vaults in both team and all around and they were averaged. The problem after 2000 is the vault code was too hard and hardly anyone had a 10.0 vault. Maybe they thought training two different vaults was too difficult since the code got harder. I often heard the 2001-2004 code referred to as the "death" code for women. It was very difficult to get 10.0 start values on every event. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/45476-artistic-gymnastics-stick-the-landing/page/31/#findComment-2477292
