Men landing with their chest down

[gasrgoose]

Is landing with the chest down or almost toughing the knees not a deduction in Mens gymnastics like it is in womens?

 

[Iwannabemargo]

according to our commentators, yes

Jonathan has said so in previous live streams

Yes.. it is a deduction.

Yes.. it is a deduction.

Thank you, I thought it probably would be a deduction. But the announcers only mention landing with the chest down during women's competitions. Also the men do it so drastically almost like its not a consideration.

I like him a commentator. He's not very polished but he is so honest. It's endearing when he is trying to understand the women's rules because he knows what he doesn't know.

And I am learning so much from him. It's fun that he and Courtney are learning from each other too.

I keep calling Jonathan cute. He's a grown man and new to commentating and he desperately wants to be on the floor but he still sounds cute. Courtney is amazing and she is learning too but she is farther removed from competing.
