What deduction is applied for a run out glide in a Level 4 bars kip mount?

In the context of a Level 4 bars kip mount, a run out glide refers to the scenario where the gymnast does not achieve the necessary lift and control during the glide phase of the mount, causing them to slide forward rather than maintaining a strong, stable position. This results in a significant deviation from the expected execution.

When judging this maneuver, a deduction of 0.30 is applied because it reflects the substantial error in maintaining the form and mechanics of the kip mount. The ability to execute a clean glide is essential for proper execution, and a run out indicates a failure to secure control during the transition. Unlike minor errors that might incur smaller deductions, the run out glide signifies a more pronounced lapse in technique and performance quality, justifying the larger deduction.
