What is the bonus value earned for a D element when the same element is performed again in the same connection?

When a gymnast performs a D element again in the same connection, they earn a bonus value of 0.1. This rule is in place to encourage variety and complexity in routines while also rewarding gymnasts for demonstrating consistent skill execution. The bonus for repeating an element is relatively modest compared to more complex connections or unique elements. Therefore, while gymnasts are allowed to include repeated elements within their routines, they receive this smaller value to promote progression and skill development in their performances.
