What is the maximum deduction for a mistake categorized as a "landing phase slight hop"?

The maximum deduction for a "landing phase slight hop" is up to 0.1. This deduction category is typically applied when a gymnast demonstrates a minor adjustment during the landing of a dismount or skill, characterized by a small hop that does not significantly compromise the overall presentation and control. The subtlety of the movement and the minimal impact on the performance ensure that the deduction remains at this lower level of severity.

It's important to recognize that deductions are tiered based on the severity and impact of landing mistakes. A slight hop indicates a minor error, which is why the deduction is capped at 0.1. More significant mistakes, like larger hops or falls, would incur higher deductions, reflecting the greater impact on the execution and overall quality of the routine.
