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.
 
Why Deng Linlin still get E score of 9 in London 2012 BB final? Her head was at knee height
She was very precise apart from that and unusually clean in the air. So she has very few deductions in total.
