How much is deducted if a turn element is not performed in high releve on the balance beam?

When evaluating a routine on the balance beam, the execution of turn elements is subject to specific requirements. If a turn is not performed in high releve, which refers to the position of being on the toes with an intentional elevated posture, a deduction of 0.1 is typically applied. This deduction reflects the gymnasts' failure to achieve the required level of execution for that skill.

Performing a turn in high releve is essential because it demonstrates not only control and finesse but also enhances the overall aesthetic quality of the routine. The ability to maintain this position while executing a turn is a part of the skill's difficulty level and is crucial for achieving a higher score in gymnastics judging. Therefore, if the turn is executed without maintaining this critical aspect, the deduction is rightly set at 0.1.
