A Gold routine falls and does not remount to perform a dismount; the dismount Special Requirement is missed and there is no dismount. What is the total Start Value deduction?

• A. 0.50
• B. 0.60
• C. 0.80
• D. 0.70

Answer: (C)

A fall on beam costs a fixed Start Value deduction of 0.50. In Gold, there’s also a Dismount Special Requirement that must be met; if it’s missed (no dismount performed), that carries a 0.30 Start Value deduction. Here the gymnast falls and does not remount to perform a dismount, so both deductions apply: 0.50 for the fall plus 0.30 for missing the dismount Special Requirement. Add them together and you get 0.80.
