Women substitute for BWO in L4 floor

[emorymom]

Is there an alternate skill that can be used in the floor routine, like a back handspring stepout?

 

[gymkat]

No, there is not.

I remember reading about it a while ago and if she needs to skip it due to back problems then it is best to just take the hit on the score. As long as she is strong on the other events and the rest of the floor routine then she should still be able to score the required mobility score. You just need to be with a gym that will keep in mind that her AA scores will be lower due to having to leave out the BWO. Then you have to deal with the beam BWO for level 5; but she can do the BHS instead there I'm pretty sure.
