It’s RARE to see a gymnast who does not “skew” — be misaligned with the horse. Some judges are very lenient on this deduction.
Ideally, hand placement should be parallel every step. Gymnast check where there hands were placed after an approach by checking chalk marks.
Better strategy for the gymnast is to use these skills in Flair. It’s easier to keep square.
Sadly, almost every FIG routine includes Magyar and Sivado.
I’m hoping a change to only 8 counting skills from 10 would motivate many to take out the Magyar and Sivado.
