New Rules - Level 8

[gymch34]

No to a 1/2 pirouette for L7 on bars-that is a C and not allowed. They can clear hip to hs however- which is an allowable C for L7.

That wasn't a C before the change, was it?

A 1/2 pirouette has been a C on bars for at least 5 years, probably more. It is still allowed in L7!!!

Yeah, I've always found it curious that's been one of the allowable Cs. It's not like anyone does it. Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen it. Well, maybe a handful of times. But anyway, I can see the obvious point of allowing the C circling skills but the 1/2 pir always seemed kind of random to me.

I think it has to do with the possibility of casting over and not wanting to punish a gymnast who thinks quickly, flips her hands around, and tries to cover it up. Same thing goes with the clear hip 1/2.
