Transcription

1 By: Greg Weller Total gymnasts 146 Level 4 Highest Start Value 15.8 Lowest Start Value 13.5 Average Start Value 15.3 Second pull-up: 129 gymnasts, or 88%, of the athletes performed this bonus. 25 of them performed this bonus with no single deduction (19%). Momentary level position: 14, or almost 11%, of the gymnasts successfully completed this bonus. 6 of the 14 received no deduction. Athletes received deductions on the pull-up for body angles, leg separation, and not pulling their head in between the rings completely. Many received angle deductions for not showing a complete stop on the lever. 95 gymnasts or 65% of the level 4 athletes received stick bonus. 2 athletes received a tenth back for swing amplitude. 3 gymnasts received a tenth back in virtuosity for an exceptional back lever. 1 gymnast received a tenth for performing the chin-up Performance Criteria Issues 25% of the gymnasts still received a deduction for being lifted to the apparatus. 68% of the level 4 s received deductions for form, angles, and/or short L holds. 30% had a deduction for short holds on the German hang. Overall Comments Form on the swings and swing amplitude were the main global deductions for the majority of level 4 athletes.

2 Level 5 Total gymnasts 114 Highest Start Value 16.0 Lowest Start Value 12.0 Average Start Value 15.3 Muscle up with no spotter assistance: 39, or 34%, of the level 5 athletes completed this bonus successfully. 23% performed this bonus with no deduction. Two-second lever position: 21% completed this bonus. 7 gymnasts received a tenth for amplitude on the inlocate. 3 athletes received a tenth for exceptional swing amplitude. 1 gymnast earned a tenth for the straddled flyaway, which he showed extreme rise and turnover. 47 gymnasts, or 41%, of the level 5 s received the stick bonus. Performance Criteria Support holds still need more focus. Holds are too short, and gymnasts are keeping the rings turned in. 88% of the level 5 gymnasts received a small, medium, or large deduction on support hold. Swing amplitude needs to be higher and gymnasts must show the tight arch position in the back swing. Feet need to reach ring height. The straddled flyaway needs improvement. By gymnasts not turning over enough, they are being forced to bend their legs and drop the chest on landing, which forces landing deductions.

3 Level 6 Total gymnasts 61 Highest Start Value 15.4 Lowest Start Value 13.0 Average Start Value 15.0 Press to handstand: 13 gymnasts, or 21%, completed the press to handstand bonus. Only two gymnasts performed this bonus with no deduction. Additional two-second handstand hold without feet: There were no gymnasts that completed this bonus. A few attempted but nobody ever met the full two-second hold. No virtuosity bonus was awarded. 25 gymnasts, or 41%, received the stick bonus. Performance Criteria On the back uprise, body position needs to be straight. 42% of gymnasts received a deduction. 90% of the gymnasts received a deduction on the L hold due to short holds, incorrect angles and/or bent arms. 1 gymnast left out the L hold. 11 gymnasts performed the back lever with a large deduction. 7 gymnasts omitted the back lever, receiving no credit. The inlocates and dislocates need to have a stretched body position. Only five gymnasts performed both of these skills without a deduction.

4 Level 7 Total gymnasts 32 Highest Start Value 15.8 Lowest Start Value 12.1 Average Start Value 15.1 Press to straddled planche: 10 athletes, or 31%, completed the planche bonus. One gymnast received full bonus with no deduction. Handstand with no feet on cables three-second hold: Only three gymnasts received this bonus. Four gymnasts earned a tenth bonus for extreme amplitude and rise on the dislocate. 18 gymnasts, or 56%, received the stick bonus. Performance Criteria 5 gymnasts received a tenth deduction for being lifted to the apparatus. 7 gymnasts performed both L holds without a single deduction. The remaining 25 gymnasts all received a deduction (small to large) because of angles, short hold, bent arms, or rings turned in. No tucked planche was performed without a deduction, which one could conclude is because the stronger gymnasts performed the straddled planche for bonus. Once again, rhythm and amplitude deductions are still a problem with the inlocates and dislocates. Other Comments 1 athlete performed a tucked double salto dismount. 1 gymnast omitted the shoulder stand. 1 gymnast left out the press to handstand.

5 Level 8 Total gymnasts 17 Start Value Ranges Highest Start Value 12.7 Lowest Start Value 7.9 Difficulty Highest Difficulty 1.1 Lowest Difficulty.4 Skills Performed Back uprise straddled L kip straddled planche felge L A press shoulder stand lever back salto ½ Koste piked back layout double salto tucked front 1/ Element Groups Awarded All 17 gymnasts performed only three element groups. Element group 2 (swing to handstand) and element group 3 (swing to strength) were not performed. 1 athlete received the stick bonus.

Stick bonus 2 gymnasts received the stick bonus. Overall Comments Gymnasts do not have to overdo the routines. If eight or 10 skills are needed, don t do more unless they are perfected. Increasing difficulty can lead to more deductions unless perfectly executed. This was a common problem with L holds and press handstands, where repetition of these skills led to execution deductions.
