Horizontal Bar: Flight Elements

E-Jury · from the E-score

Release, Flight and Regrasp

Flight

A conspicuous rise of the body and a simultaneous release of both hands.

Regrasp

Time to prepare it, straight arms, and a smooth full swing after it. A Tkatchev to handstand is possible, but not expected.

• Low amplitude−0.1or−0.3
• Releasing one hand at a time−0.1
• Bent arms on the regrasp−0.1or−0.3
• A flight with salto over the bar not followed by a giant swing−0.3

D-Jury

When a Flight Counts

A flight element always receives value if a distinct hang phase is shown before the gymnast falls. A distinct hang is a regrasp with two hands and a controlled swing through the vertical.

• Regrasp with two hands and a controlled swing through the vertical, then a fallRecognised
• Regrasp with one arm, and the exercise continues without a stopRecognised

D-Jury

Two of Each Style, and a Fifth Flight

The salto backward with ½ turn over the bar (II.82) and the Gaylord 2 (II.83) are Kovacs style.

Normally at most four of the seven best may come from one Element Group. Here a fifth flight element may count if at least two flights are directly connected. The lowest such connection is C + C.

• A third flight element of one styleTwo permitted
• A fifth flight, with two flights directly connected (at least C + C)Permitted

D-Jury

Winkler / Pogorelev (II.42)

It is a G. The body is straight up to the point where the feet pass nearest to the bar.

• Body bent more than 45° before the feet pass the barby the E-Jury−0.3D value
• Non-distinct position or bent body, up to 30°by the E-Jury−0.1
• Non-distinct position or bent body, more than 30°, up to 45°by the E-Jury−0.3
• Deviation from the plane of movement, up to 15°by the E-Jury−0.1
• Deviation from the plane of movement, more than 15°by the E-Jury−0.3
• Bent legsby the E-Jury−0.1or−0.3or−0.5
• Bent anklesby the E-Jury−0.1
• Low amplitudeby the E-Jury−0.1or−0.3

The 0.3 for bending past 45° is for non-distinct position, and the D-Jury credits a D. The other rows are the Code's errors as Newsletter 2 listed them for this element. Newsletter 3 changed what happens past 45°, and it limits the straight-body requirement to the phase before the feet pass the bar.
