How much is deducted for more than one squat on LB?

• A. 0.1 per squat
• B. 0.2 per squat
• C. 0.3 per squat
• D. No deduction

Answer: (A)

For more than one squat on the landing of a beam dismount, a deduction of 0.1 is applied for each additional squat. This deduction is in place to account for the lack of control and stability that occurs when a gymnast has to squat down rather than achieving a solid landing position. A single squat may indicate some loss of balance, but multiple squats show a greater level of difficulty in maintaining proper form and control upon landing, warranting the deduction per additional squat. Thus, the specified amount of 0.1 per additional squat correctly reflects the evaluation of this aspect of the performance.
