What point deduction applies for the first occurrence of a lack of dynamics throughout an exercise?

The first occurrence of a lack of dynamics throughout an exercise results in a deduction of 0.2 points. This is important because dynamics—referring to the energy, power, and movement quality in a gymnast's performance—are critical for demonstrating the athlete's skill level and presentation. Judges assess the overall impact of the performance, and a noticeable lack of energy can significantly influence the overall impression of the routine. The 0.2 deduction specifically reflects the importance of this element without being as severe as subsequent deductions for repeated occurrences. This encourages gymnasts to maintain a higher level of performance throughout their routine while allowing some leniency for minor errors.
