What is required to receive higher VP credit for release moves that land in handstand on low bar?

To receive higher value part (VP) credit for release moves that land in handstand on the low bar, the gymnast must finish within 20 degrees of vertical. This requirement emphasizes the importance of control and precision in the landing position. A landing that is nearly vertical, indicating a high level of skill and execution, reflects an effective transition from the release move back to a stable handstand position. Judges look for this alignment as it showcases the gymnast's strength and technique, which is essential for achieving higher scores. A finish that is more than 20 degrees away from vertical usually indicates a less controlled landing, which would not qualify for the higher VP credit.
