WAG running Lay vs. FH FT - what is easier?

[Iloveg2602]

I was wondering about a front tumbling passes recently.

What is easier,
FH FT/FP or running Front Layout?

Why is a single running Lay a B and a FH FP an A?

I don't mean just chucking them, because I have seen horribly FH FT with totally bent knees, but doing it really beautiful and clean!

FHS FP are two A level skills linked together. Clearly a front layout is harder than a tucked front sumi and it's also harder than a FHS. Linking the two skills together (FHS FP) doesn't make the individual skills any harder, but you could get a bonus for connecting the skills. But saying that some people will find connecting skills harder and may find the single front layout easier. It really depends on the gymnast!

Ahh ok - I believe it's an A here if I'm correct.
