Question: does gymnasts incur deduction if they landing with low chest in balance beam dismount?

[Iminhanoi]

In balance beam event final at Olympic Tokyo 2020, Guan Chenchen landed with very low chest from her double pike (value E 0.5) in her dismount.

Did she incur a deduction from the low chest?

Deng Linlin and Sui Lu in Olympic 2012 and Shawn Johnson in Olympic 2008 also

She probably did incur a deduction of .3, because her chest is very low.

Her E score was 8.033, while Tang's was 8.233, so there is space for that deduction there.

Yes.

0.1 head at hip height.

0.3 head at knee height.

 

[Iminhanoi]

Yes.

0.1 head at hip height.

0.3 head at knee height.

Why Deng Linlin still get E score of 9 in London 2012 BB final? Her head was at knee height

2008 they were very loose with the judging still, as it was only 3 years into the open ended code.

She was very precise apart from that and unusually clean in the air. So she has very few deductions in total.
