What is the penalty for using a heel snap turn technique during a full turn in passe on the Level 5 beam?

The penalty for using a heel snap turn technique during a full turn in passe on the Level 5 beam is 0.30. In Level 5 gymnastics, executing a full turn in passe requires specific technique and form. The heel snap turn is considered a deviation from the expected execution because it demonstrates a lack of proper technique, which can affect the overall aesthetic quality and stability of the turn.

The value of 0.30 is assigned to this type of execution error because it significantly impacts the performance's quality, while still recognizing the gymnast's ability to perform the turn. Penalties in gymnastics are designed to reflect the severity of the error, and 0.30 indicates a moderate deduction for a technique flaw that affects the skill's execution but does not completely negate the effort or ability of the gymnast.
