How much is deducted for failure to close legs at the end of a straddle glide in Level 5 bars?

In Level 5 bars, a straddle glide should ideally see the gymnast maintain proper form, including closing the legs as they transition. When there is a failure to close the legs at the end of the straddle glide, it directly impacts the overall execution and aesthetics of the skill being performed. The deduction for this specific error is 0.10, which aligns with the emphasis on maintaining alignment and body control throughout the routine. This deduction reflects a minor visual error, allowing for the gymnast to still achieve a score that recognizes their overall performance while addressing the importance of technique. Other options represent greater deductions that are reserved for more severe execution errors or form breaks.
