What is the penalty for failing to land with feet closed or together on a two-foot landing of jumps?

The penalty for failing to land with feet closed or together on a two-foot landing of jumps is up to 0.1. This rule is in place to encourage proper form and control during landings, which are critical components of gymnastics routines. A split or apart landing can indicate instability or lack of control, which judges closely monitor to maintain the integrity of performance standards. This relatively minor penalty reflects the understanding that while proper landing is important, it may not significantly detract from the overall execution of the jump compared to more severe errors. Hence, a deduction of 0.1 is appropriate for this type of infraction, promoting neatness and presentation without overly harsh penalties for small errors.
