What is the deduction for a bail that is not performed from handstand to hang on the uneven bars?

The appropriate deduction for a bail that is not executed correctly from a handstand to a hang position on the uneven bars is indeed 0.2. This deduction applies because the skill requires a clear transition from a handstand to a hang, and failing to perform it accurately indicates a loss of control and technique.

In gymnastics judging, specific elements are evaluated for their execution and proper form. A bail from handstand to hang is considered an essential skill and any significant errors, such as a lack of proper body alignment, insufficient control during the transition, or failing to maintain the hang position, would result in a deduction. The 0.2 deduction reflects a moderate error in execution, acknowledging that while the routine was still performed, the quality of the movement was not up to the expected standard.

Understanding the specifics of deductions helps in training and performance, ensuring that athletes can focus on executing skills correctly to minimize penalties.
