Floor: Corner Transitions

E-Jury · from the E-score

Choreography, Not Steps

Deducted

Simple steps: moving to a new place on the floor without any choreography. The gymnast does not walk to a corner.

Choreography

For example a jump, or a leg lifted above horizontal during a step. Steps with a turn are still simple steps: the turn does not replace the leg above horizontal.

From 1 September 2026

Steps count as a transition, with or without a turn, only if a leg rises above horizontal.

Expected

Leaps, jumps and turns, especially in the corners — each with artistry, amplitude and extension.

• Simple steps, or a transition only to reach the corner — with or without a turn−0.1
• A choreographic leap, jump or turn without artistry, amplitude or extension−0.1

Every Transition Different

All corner transitions must differ from one another. Turns, rolls, jumps with straight or bent legs, kneeling and other variations can make a transition different.

• Two corner transitions the same−0.3Neutral, from the Final Score, once

Criteria for Each Kind

The newsletter's table, with its suggested symbols in brackets.

• Simple steps (S) — with or without a turn, the leg must rise above horizontal−0.1Leg below
• Scissor kick (Sc) — both legs kick above horizontal−0.1Legs below
• Cartwheel variations (X) — rhythm, straight body, 90° leg separation−0.1Alignment; body and legs, each
• Split jump (Sp) — a clear jump, legs split 180°−0.1Split under 180°
• Sissonne, with or without turns (Si) — a clear jump before the turn, split 90° or more−0.1Split under 90°
• Stag leap, with or without a turn (Sg) — a clear visible jump, legs apart more than 90°−0.1No jump; no separation, each
• Steps and jumps with spins — control, turns completed−0.1Incomplete turn
• Knee positions (Kn) — amplitude, expression, rhythm, body extension−0.1Unsteadiness
• Handstand variations — forward or backward, with or without turnsNormal deductions
• Jump to support, not one that fulfils the jump requirement — uncontrolled landing: small or medium error−0.1or−0.3
• Jump to support, not one that fulfils the jump requirement — uncontrolled landing: large error−0.5NR
• No transition — straight from one acrobatic pass into the next−0.1Pause over 2 sec
