25cm. The wall will be padded.
 The landing mat is 6m in length. There is no 1m clearance zone beyond this 6m. The wall at the back of the

 On the left side of the vault run up, at a distance 8m away from the vault table all the way along to the vault
table, there is 20cm high matting directly next to the vault run. This may be a trip hazard if gymnasts were to
