Not 100% confirmed as yet.
But I do think we’ll have 8 elements counting instead of 10.
Coaches will be brainstorming best start scores for their FIG gymnasts.

celebrating Ana, Jordan and Sabrina
Certainly you could argue that any of Jordan Chiles (USA), Ana Barbosu (ROM) and Sabrina Maneca-Voinea (ROM) could have won the Bronze medal on Floor at the Olympics.
It was close.
All excellent routines.
Sadly, judging errors were made by the FIG.
The FIG system for making an appeal is neither clear nor fair in 2024.
It seemed to me that the Court of Arbitration for Sport made a decision too quickly and without doing enough research. That should be reviewed.
In the end, Ana Barbosu is in the record books with the Bronze medal.
The entire “Paris Floor Bronze Debacle” ending an otherwise excellent Olympics on a very sour note. It’s one of the things the general public will remember — along with that Pommel Horse guy.
If the debacle had not happened, we’d be celebrating the return of Romania as Olympic medal contenders. That famous program is finally turned around.
Congratulations.

introducing Airflair
The airflare (or air-flare) is one of my favourite skills on Floor.
… the 1990s, a dancer named Paulo Nunes in Europe had created the variation which is essentially the same move as the modern airflare. …
At that time in Europe it, was referred to as the airtwist. …
By the mid 1990s video arrived by way of EZ-Rock of Rocksteady which introduced the maneuver …
The video showed Nunes as well as a French b-boy who executed a move very similar to the modern airflare. …
Pablo Flores of Climax / Soul Control successfully performed continuous airflares completing the manifestation of the move. It is this modern form of the airflare that Morgan Hamm introduced into gymnastics, after learning it from the b-boy community. …
We await Airflare on POMMELS.
Then Beam. 😀
