How much is deducted for having legs crossed during the post flight phase?

The deduction for having legs crossed during the post flight phase is specifically 0.1. This deduction is applied because leg position is an important part of maintaining proper body alignment and control in gymnastics. During the post flight phase, gymnasts are expected to demonstrate fluidity and precision in their movements, which includes keeping their legs together and straight. Crossing the legs disrupts the clean lines and can impact the overall aesthetic quality of the routine. A deduction of 0.1 reflects a minor but significant flaw, acknowledging that while it is a notable error, other elements of the routine may still be performed well. Keeping the legs straight and properly aligned contributes to higher execution scores, which is why this particular deduction is enforced.
