One More Try
Pommel horse is the only apparatus where a dismount may be repeated.
- How often
- One time only.
- When
- When the gymnast believes he did not get credit because of a fall or a large deduction.
- Time
- 30 seconds from the original attempt to remount.
- Then
- Any dismount of his choice, for value and EG IV.
- Stepping off the podium, stairs includedExercise terminated
- Repeated after a large deduction on the first attemptby the E-Jury−1.0The 0.5 becomes 1.0
D-Jury
The Code's Three Examples
- Stöckli to handstand 270° t. 3/3: falls attempting the handstandby the E-Jury−1.0No value or EG IV
- Repeated cleanly within the timeNoneD (0.4) + 0.4 EG IV
- Stöckli to handstand 450° t. 3/3: lowers the legs with a large deviation, then completes itby the E-Jury−0.5No value or EG IV
- Repeated cleanly within the time — the first attempt's 0.5 becomes a fallby the E-Jury−1.0E (0.5) + 0.5 EG IV
- Russian 1080° dismount: falls at 900°by the E-Jury−1.0No value
- Repeated within the time with leg separationby the E-Jury−0.1C (0.3) + 0.3 EG IV
The E-Jury also takes:
- any deductions before the fall
- the aesthetic deductions after a lowering
- any errors it sees in the second attempt
In the third example, the judge cannot always tell whether the first Russians were a dismount attempt.
