Kip Cast handstand - no deduction, she definitely isn’t 30 degrees past vertical here… 0.0
On the glide kip, I would deduct 0.1 for insufficient extension. Notice how her body never completely opens and has a slight pike throughout.
Tweddle - amazing amplitude, her feet are glued together the whole time, someone on Youtube said this had been downgraded based on her catching angle?? But even if so, not an E panel concern??? 0.0
To receive credit for a Jaegar or Tkatchev release with 1/2 turn, the gymnast must clearly initiate the turn prior to regrasp. If the turn is incomplete, a 0.1 deduction for lack of precision would be taken. Because the D and E panels do not communicate with each other, the skill could be downgraded to a ‘regular’ Jaeger or Tkatchev, but still receive the deduction.
Yezhova: leg separation (0.3 - meets the “shoulder width or more” criterion in section 8.3), I would argue she’s around the 45 degree mark on regrasp, but I suppose her hand slip throws that into debate, so based on that graphic above it looks like the most punitive deduction for >45 degrees should be 0.5…
Because the Ezhova is described as being caught in support, article 9.4.2. does not apply. Therefore, no deductions for angle of completion.
Pak Salto: this might actually qualify for the 0.5 angle below 45… I swear someone said this deduction was getting nixed but I guess not? Did it actually get harsher this code, wasn’t sub-30 degrees previously 0.3 tenths
per this video ? Rant: Why did WTC decide gymnasts are supposed to land a Pak Salto in a handstand? :roll_eyes:
Angle of completion deductions no longer exist for the Pak salto.
To answer your question, I believe the angle of completion deductions on Pak saltos were designed to punish poorly performed Pak saltos, and to encourage gymnasts to work directly out of them. If you catch a Pak too flat / below 45 degrees, you most likely will be unable to directly connect it to a stalder or Shaposhnikova type element. However, as many gymnasts have shown, the angle at which you caught the Pak salto didn’t necessarily mean that the skill as a whole was poorly executed, or that you couldn’t work out of it, especially those catching in the 31-45 degree range (which was where deductions started being taken).
Double Layout: Small hop (0.1)
I could see judges potentially deducting for insufficient height because in real time her hips appear to stay at high bar height. Rewatching, it does look like they rise slightly above. Also, being a bit nitpicky here, but her initial landing position isn’t quite ideal with the chest a bit forward. That being said, overall, I am in range with the others here.
