What is the maximum deduction for a sole circle to clear front support if the gymnast fails to achieve clear front support?

The correct deduction for failing to achieve clear front support during a sole circle on the uneven bars is 0.60 points. This high deduction reflects the importance of this skill within the routine, as achieving a clear front support is a critical component of proper execution. When the gymnast does not reach this position, it indicates a significant error in the execution of the skill, impacting the overall performance and the intended fluidity and control expected throughout the move. A deduction of this magnitude emphasizes the importance of having the proper body alignment and position, which are essential for ensuring safety and technique during the exercise.
