In the Gold Division, the dismount may be from which bar(s)?

• A. High bar only
• B. Low bar only
• C. Either high bar or low bar
• D. Neither bar

Answer: (C)

In Gold Division on the uneven bars, you’re allowed to finish your routine with a dismount from either bar—the high bar or the low bar. This reflects the level’s flexibility and focuses on safe, clean exits from the apparatus, whatever bar you’ve used to structure your routine. The dismount is the skill that ends the routine by leaving the bar and landing on the mat, so as long as the gymnast executes a proper dismount from the bar they’re on and lands safely, it’s acceptable. Choosing to finish on the high bar or the low bar depends on the routine flow and where a solid landing can be achieved. The other options would unnecessarily restrict this flexibility, which isn’t required in Gold.
