In Level 4 bars, what is the deduction for failing to complete a 1/2 turn prior to re-contacting the bar during a tap swing forward with a 1/2 turn dismount?

The deduction for failing to complete a 1/2 turn prior to re-contacting the bar during a tap swing forward with a 1/2 turn dismount is assessed at up to 0.20. In gymnastics, each element and execution is evaluated on the precision of the technique. The requirement for a 1/2 turn in this case is essential for demonstrating skill and control.

When a gymnast does not complete this turn, it signifies a lack of proper execution, which affects the overall performance score. The maximum deduction reflects the importance of completing this element correctly, as it directly contributes to the overall difficulty and artistry of the routine. A deduction of up to 0.20 encompasses the severity of the error without categorizing it as a complete failure, which would lead to a higher deduction. Consequently, this deduction encourages gymnasts to strive for the level of technical prowess expected at Level 4.
