STOP the ‘Man Wipe’

Of all the fugly things we have to watch on Floor, the faux body waves are ugliest. 🙂

Guys use that … thing because they are (supposedly) deducted for standing 2sec or longer before a tumbling pass. There should be no such rule. It’s safer to let the gymnast catch his breath before a tumbling pass. And the routine time limit restriction already serves the purpose in not allowing anyone to waste time during a set.
