How much is deducted for a dismount with a twisting salto missing 1-44 degrees?

When judging a dismount that includes a twisting salto, the deductions for missing the required twist angle are based on the severity of the error. If the twist is insufficient by 1-44 degrees, the correct deduction is 0.05. This indicates a minor error in execution, as the gymnast is still demonstrating significant control and form, despite not fully completing the required twist.

The reasoning behind this deduction is rooted in the level of precision expected in gymnastics. A small range of deficiency such as 1-44 degrees in a twisting maneuver signifies a relatively minor deviation from the ideal execution, meriting a deduction that reflects this slight oversight without heavily penalizing the gymnast. This aligns with the overall assessment goals in gymnastics, which focus on both the specific technical requirements and the overall presentation of the routine.
