What is the deduction for insufficient amplitude of bar elements such as releases?

The deduction for insufficient amplitude of bar elements, such as releases, is indeed 0.2. In gymnastics, amplitude refers to the height and range of motion displayed in skills. If a gymnast does not achieve the required height during a bar release or other similar elements, it can significantly detract from the overall performance quality and difficulty. A 0.2 deduction reflects the importance of amplitude in demonstrating control, skill execution, and the ability to perform elements at a high standard. This guideline is consistent across judging criteria to ensure that gymnasts are rewarded for executing skills with the necessary height and precision.
