What is a new skill? When a new skill gets added to the code, how is it decided that it is a new skill?
I realise there are skills that we can expect people will start to attempt (e.g. triple twisting things) that just haven't actually been done or done in competition yet. They are obviously new skills.
Are skills ever named differently for men's and women's gymnastics? For example, there are skills that men do, that women have yet to do. When women do them can it get named as a new skill? What if they do it on a new apparatus which men don't do it on? e.g. a P bars skill, done on the beam. An example might be Peng Peng Lee doing those scissory things as a beam mount. (sorry for the really bad description - I have no idea what they're called!)
What if it is a new progression? By this I mean taking an existing "skill" such as round off back handspring and adding a particular leap to the end of it. Or is that just connecting two skills?
What constitutes a new skill?
