Women Are skills difficulty rating comparable across events

[tomtnt]

Is an "E" skill on beam comparable to an "E" skill on floor in terms of difficulty and potential percentage of gymnasts who can compete that skill? Is an "E" dismount on bars equivalent to an "E" release move in terms of difficulty? seems like many more gymnasts can do a double layout dismount (E) than say, a counter-kim release (E).

Or asked another way, how do they determine the difficulty rating of a move across different event? Is it based on how many people could potentially do a move?

Generally, beam skills are 1 value higher than the same skill on floor.

Generally, beam skills are 1 value higher than the same skill on floor.

I think they meant, is an E dismount just as hard as an E release, or is it easier because it's a dismount?
