What is the deduction for landing with feet hip width apart or closer but not joining them?

When a gymnast lands with their feet hip width apart or closer but does not bring them together, the deduction is set at 0.05. This is a specific deduction that acknowledges a minor imperfection in the execution of the landing. It indicates that while the gymnast maintained a stable base, the lack of a complete foot join demonstrates a slight deficiency in control or precision during the landing phase. Maintaining feet together is considered ideal as it reflects better balance and stability, crucial in gymnastics skills. Therefore, the deduction captures the gymnast's need to improve this aspect while recognizing that the overall landing was still relatively effective.
