What is required to receive C VP credit on an uprise to handstand?

To receive C Value Part (VP) credit for an uprise to handstand, the gymnast must complete the move within 20 degrees of vertical. This rule is in place to ensure that the skill demonstrates sufficient control and technique while approaching the desired handstand position.

Completing the uprise to handstand within this range reflects the gymnast's ability to execute the skill with proper alignment and stability. If the gymnast were to finish with an angle greater than 20 degrees from vertical, it would signify a lack of control and a deviation from the standard required for the C credit. This emphasizes not only the importance of the skill itself but also the execution quality vital in rhythmic gymnastics scoring.

Other options do not meet the established criteria for C VP credit, as they impose more stringent or unrelated requirements that do not accurately reflect the judging standards in gymnastics for an uprise to handstand.
