What is the deduction for an extra swing on the bars?

An extra swing on the bars signifies that a gymnast has performed an unintended additional movement after completing a skill, which may indicate a lack of control or a break in the routine's flow. In gymnastics judging, certain technical errors carry specific deductions based on their severity. However, for an extra swing, the deduction is set at 0.1, as it is considered a minor error that does not significantly impact the overall execution score or the difficulty of the routine. Thus, the assessment focuses on ensuring that the gymnast adheres to the expected performance standards without imposing a larger penalty than what the error warrants. This graded approach allows judges to maintain fairness while accurately reflecting the gymnast's execution quality.
