Nobody knows better than gymnasts how to fall safely.โAnd get back up.โ
It’s not the falls that stop girls from training sport.

Lands like a dart.
Male FIG gymnasts must show control on landing.โI’d say right now there is TOO MUCH emphasis on STICK in MAG FIG.
Obviously, FIG women have never been required to show control.โAbsolutely no control often results in a very small deduction for WAG.
I’m of mixed feelings on this question:
On the one hand, it would force coaches to include dismounts that are more fully mastered.โA good thing.โAND it would help separate the best of the best routines.
On the other hand, I fear more injuries on landing might result.โStepping or hopping out of a high impact landing is an excellent way to dissipate forces.โGymnasts trying to “SAVE” a competition landing could suffer more injuries.

An excellent improvement on College rules.โThis will definitely help separate the best of the best routines.
Hopefully we’ll see NO MORE College Sticks getting a 10.0 score.
LANDING is a skill.โAnd should be evaluated as a SKILL.โ

It’s much tougher to STICK than they make it look.
