What deduction is incurred for a crooked landing?

A crooked landing in gymnastics refers to when a gymnast does not land in a straight, upright position after completing a skill. This can involve landing at an angle or with one foot in front of the other, which can affect the athlete's balance and control upon landing.

The deduction for a crooked landing is specified as "up to 0.1." This means that a judge has the discretion to assess a deduction anywhere from 0.0 to 0.1 based on the severity of how crooked the landing is. If the landing is minimally off, the judge might choose not to deduct anything. However, if the deviation is more pronounced, they may opt to take the full 0.1 deduction.

This range allows for a more nuanced evaluation of the athlete's performance, as not every crooked landing is equal in terms of impact on performance. Judges consider the overall execution of the routine and how much the crooked landing detracts from the gymnast's overall presentation and control.
