If a gymnast's legs are crossed during the second flight, what is the maximum deduction?

When assessing a gymnast's performance, specific deductions are applied for errors such as leg position during flight phases. A deduction for crossed legs during the second flight indicates a minor issue in execution. In this case, a maximum deduction of 0.1 typically applies, reflecting a slight flaw that doesn't severely impact the overall routine. This deduction helps maintain a standardized scoring system where smaller mistakes are recognized without significantly penalizing the gymnast's overall performance.

Larger deductions, such as 0.2 or higher, usually pertain to more significant errors, which could include issues like a fall, major form breaks, or lack of control. Thus, the scoring for crossed legs during flight is appropriately limited to maintain fairness and encourage excellence while still acknowledging minor errors in execution.
