Women Lunging out- all events?

[All Chalked Up]

I'm aware that in JO optionals gymnasts can do a controlled lunge out of your tumbling passes- is this allowed on all events? For example, if I completed a tsukahara vault, would I be able to do a controlled lunge on landing?

I don't think so but I am sure one of the coaches/judges can tell you. I think you get deducted different amounts for the size of the steps/foot movement after you land on vault.

No you need to stick landings on everything but floor in JO. Lunge is allowed after tumbling passes only.

Good to know! Thank you.

I've often wondered that as well, thanks for asking the question!

Bog is correct.

...just out of curiosity....why ARE they allowed to lunge out of tumbling passes on the floor??And I'm thinking this is just girls, too, right?

I think it's a safety thing? Protecting joints, maybe?

 

[Paint A Melody]

How would that protect joints? You already landed and suffered the strain on your joints didn't you? Or does the lunge stop too much pressure from being put on your joints since it happens so quickly?

I have no idea, was just my guess. I'm sure someone knows the answer.
