2025 - 2028 WAG COP - A Deeper Dive

[crdubb17]

I spent some time this weekend aggregating posts that I have made on the 2025-2028 COP into a more unified location. While none of this is official FIG/WTC material, I hope that the online gymnastics community will find this to be both a useful resource for the current quadrennium, and a historical reference in the future. Any comments or questions are welcome.

Also Brief Survey:

What content would you find to be the most helpful or interesting? (e.g. Breakdown of specific elements, Detailed walkthrough of rules like the one I did for connections on balance beam, Individual routine breakdowns both D and E score, etc.)

Thank you! I really love detailed breakdowns of routines, especially controversially scored routines.

WTC Evaluation of Close to Beam Sequences

Under Article 12.5 - Artistry and Composition Deductions, gymnasts will receive a 0.1 deduction for ‘Missing combination of movements/elements close to the beam with a part of the torso(including thigh, knee or head) touching the beam (element not necessary)’.

As part of the Help Desk, the WTC has prepared a video containing six examples and how they would be judged. Because the video does not explain the rationale behind the evaluations, I have prepared notes on how I believe the WTC made their decisions. While these are unofficial, I hope you will find them to be helpful in understanding how close to beam sequences on balance beam are scored. Any comments, questions, or requests are welcome.
