When did gymnastics get the new vault (horse)?

Back in the days of Mary Lou Retton, Kerri Strug and before, the girls used to vault over a "horse" which was similar in appearance to the men's pommel horse. When did the new style vault start being used? Is it better or worse? Why? |||According to Wikipedia, the new vaulting table replaced the vaulting horse. The new table made its international debuts at the 2001 World Championships and the 2004 Summer Olympics, respectively. A series of accidents leading to injuries or falls of various severity inspired the redesign.|||I noticed that too.





I think the new vault is better because it's longer...
