Pineda or Cassina?

Triple Twist linked to a video of Fabian Hambüchen’s world record (7.5 start value) Horizontal Bar routine.

He does a Pineda (piked body position) and a Kolman (tucked).

I’ve got no problem with that.

But what happens when the next guy tries to compete a Pineda (piked) and a Cassina (layout Kolman) in the same routine?

They are two separate skills in the code of points.

In reality — they are almost the same skill. It would be unfair to credit them both with a G.
