We would appreciate guidance regarding what should happen in a FIG event if a gymnast starts their routine before the judges are all ready but the green light signal to start was on.
It transpired that ghe officials had forgotten to switch off the light / or change it to red after the previous gymnasts’s routine. After completing their prep, the gymnast saw the green light was on and started.
The gymnast was awarded “0” points and not given the right to repeat the exercise which appeared to be extremely harsh.
There is video evidence to corroborate that the green light was on, but this only came to light after the event.
