What deduction is applied for a C dismount as part of a choice not up to competition level?

A deduction of 0.05 is applied for a C dismount when the choice does not meet the expected competition level. In gymnastics, the elements performed, especially dismounts, are evaluated based on their difficulty and execution. When a gymnast chooses a dismount that is deemed to be below the expected difficulty level for the routine, it reflects a lack of proficiency relative to the competition standards.

The application of a 0.05 deduction recognizes that while the dismount is still technically acceptable, it does not fully align with the competitive requirements. This reflects the judges' expectations of advancing difficulty and skill in Level 10 routines. Such subtle deductions encourage gymnasts to strive for greater technical proficiency and alignment with competitive norms, ensuring that they are pushing their limits and adhering to the sport's standards.
