What is the correct score for a squat in gymnastics routines?

In gymnastics, scoring is based on performance execution, with specific deductions applied for flaws in the execution of skills. The correct score for a squat within a routine, particularly at the Level 4 and 5 gymnastics levels, is typically assigned a deduction of 0.2. This deduction reflects minor errors related to the execution of the squat, such as insufficient depth, lack of control, or poor form that would detract from the overall presentation and technical merit of the skill.

Choosing the score of 0.2 appropriately acknowledges that while there may be minor faults present, they do not significantly undermine the overall quality of the performance. This approach allows for a fair assessment, recognizing small execution errors while still valuing the gymnast's effort and skill development.
