FIG Women’s Gymnastics Code changes

Blythe Lawrence:

In terms of element values, the 2025-2028 women’s code looks much like its predecessor.

But a closer read shows that small changes have been seeded throughout the text, refining how Artistry is defined on Balance Beam and Floor Exercise, and adding new incentive for gymnasts to show two dramatically different vaults. ,,,

Beginning this year, a 0.2 bonus will be added to the final scores of gymnasts who do one vault with a forward salto off the table and a second with a backward salto in the after flight or vice versa. …

Several Tkatchev variations with half turns are worth 0.1 less than they were a year ago, and the Jaeger with a half twist has also dropped by 0.1. Forward stalders, meanwhile, have increased by 0.1, and the full-twisting double layout dismount, before an E-value skill, has been elevated to an F, a 0.1 gain. …

FIG Men’s Gymnastics Code changes

Blythe Lawrence:

… Far and away the biggest overall change in the Code of Points is that the number of elements used to build difficulty has dropped from 10 to 8 everywhere except Vault. …

… gymnasts earned 0.5 for any D-level or higher dismount, what they will now get depends on their dismount. In simplest terms, value of the dismount = value the gymnast receives in compositional credit. A D-value dismount brings 0.4 in compositional credit, an E-level dismount 0.5, F gets 0.6, and G is good for 0.7. Upshot: The harder the dismount, the more the gymnast gets paid for it. There is also a new 0.1 stick bonus on most apparatus as well. …
