    Parents Excel gold deduction

    Is it a deduction if I compete a flyaway for excel gold, and my coach stands on the mats underneath the high bar and counts out my tap swings “1, 2, 3, see your toes“ or something like that but does not spot me?

    Hi, What are the deductions in xcel gold for not completing the full turn on beam (she stays on the beam for the turn but it’s like a 3/4 turn instead of a full turn) and for stumbling on the dismount instead of sticking it? What about not having perfectly straight legs on back walkover on...
