What is the possible deduction for lack of balance between elements with pirouettes and flight phase?

In evaluating a gymnast's performance, deductions can be applied for specific deficiencies, including the lack of balance between elements that involve pirouettes and those with a flight phase. When a gymnast demonstrates a clear imbalance, such as a noticeable discrepancy in control, execution, or synchronization between these elements, a deduction of 0.10 is assessed.

This amount reflects the severity of the imbalance observed, as judges aim to ensure that the gymnast presents a cohesive and fluid routine. A deduction of this nature takes into account the importance of maintaining a seamless transition and connection between the various components of a routine, particularly in Level 9 gymnastics, where execution and technical proficiency are critically evaluated for score determination.
