What is the correct deduction for not achieving the required level of precision in landing?

In gymnastics judging, precision in landing is critical to demonstrating control and mastery of skills. When a gymnast fails to achieve the required level of precision in their landing, it indicates a lack of control that impacts the overall execution of their routine. The correct deduction for landing errors, such as not landing on the feet or stumbling, varies based on the severity of the mistake.

The appropriate deduction for not achieving the required level of precision in landing is 0.1. This deduction reflects a minor error that acknowledges that while the gymnast may have completed the skill, there were still noticeable aspects that detracted from an otherwise successful execution. The scoring system is designed to encourage precise landings as they contribute significantly to the overall impression and difficulty of a routine.

Larger deductions, such as 0.2, 0.3, or 0.4, would apply to more severe mistakes, like more significant steps, falls, or other major deviations from perfect form upon landing, which do not apply in this case. Thus, the choice of 0.1 serves as an appropriate measure for smaller issues without penalizing the gymnast too heavily.
