2026-2030 Floor Level 10 Practice Test

Failure to maintain stretched body position with pikes down results in which deduction range?

Up to 0.20 0.05-0.10 0.15-0.20 Up to 0.30

Correct Answer:

Up to 0.20

Explanation:

This question checks how deductions are assigned when a gymnast fails to keep a stretched body position during a pike-down. In judging, a minor form fault like not maintaining a tight, straight line is penalized with a small deduction, and for this particular fault the maximum deduction is 0.20. So the penalty can be 0 up to 0.20, depending on how much the line is compromised. That’s why the option stating “Up to 0.20” is the best fit. The other ranges don’t align with the maximum allowed for this fault, either capping too low or predicting a higher cap. In practice, strive to keep the body elongated with legs straight and hips and shoulders aligned to minimize this deduction.
