What is the deduction for Landing too close to the bar on dismount?

• A. 0.10
• B. 0.20
• C. 0.30
• D. 0.40

Answer: (A)

When judge scoring is looking at a bar dismount, the finish matters just as much as the height and form of the dismount itself. Landing too close to the bar is a small distance-control error: it shows the gymnast didn’t finish with proper clearance from the apparatus and ends up with a slightly awkward alignment on the mat. Because this is a minor misplacement rather than a fall or a significant balance issue, the penalty is small. The deduction for this specific error is 0.10. If the gymnast also had a notable step or hop after landing or ended even farther away, those issues would add other deductions, but the close landing by itself earns that 0.10.
