How is that back extension roll sequence being given series bonus? It seems something that would be considered too slow by the rules to count.

Anyone else think this routine construction is absolutely baffling?

You’ve already done a Toe 1/1, and yet you put a giant full right at the end of the routine when you’re absolutely gassed, just for a C?
 
Maybe it’s a placeholder for a planned Toe 3/2 + Double Front 1/2 dismount. We love E + E bonus.

Well, one can dream.
 
Nobody is doing a 1.5 pirouette. Ever again.
Hopefully the handstand requirement rules for the turning elements will change for 25-28.
Donatella Sacchi seems to be in favor of eliminating this because it really ruins the flow of the routines and also stifles some of the more creative skills.
 
Yaaaay!

She’s still getting 3 to 5 tenths on it tho, right?
 
My rule would be .05 deduction for every 10 degrees the pirouette is missing from perfect handstand, with up to .1 leniency for pirouettes that have exceptional flow/form.
