If the gymnast doesn’t make it over the bar while performing a clear hip handstand, does she lose the skill?
My L7 daughter’s routine is:
Kip
Squat on
Jump to high bar
Kip, cast handstand
Giant
Giant
Clear hip handstand
Flyaway
Yesterday while doing the clear hip handstand, she shot her toes up and was basically vertical on the bar, but just couldn’t pull her toes around and had to jump off (on the dismount side of the high bar). Her coach put her in front support on the low bar to continue the routine and she did squat on, jump to high bar, kip, cast (low - probably horizontal), flyaway.
Her score seemed low even considering the fall, so I’m wondering if she was somehow missing an element or should have repeated the clear hip. Thanks!
