Level 8 start value

[2gymmies]

Hi, this question is for judges and coaches...

My dd who is a new Level 8 for this year plans to do this bar routine: kip cast handstand 1/2 pirouette, kip cast handstand clear hip above horizontal, kip cast squat on, long hang kip cast handstand, giant, layout flyaway. Most of her team does 2 giants - will she start out of a 10 or will her start value be lower? She just got her giant so I know that is why she is only doing one giant.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

As long as one of the cast handstands is indeed to handstand (or within 10 degrees), she should start from a 10.0.

Agree--you don't need the 2 giants. Our gym would drop one from some girls if they were struggling with giants. Didn't affect their start value.

She's fine.
