Well it definitely isn’t her fault the wrong music was played. If it ever happens again tell her to just stand there. The coach should realize once they hear the music it is the wrong music and make sure it get switched. Once the judge and coach see the gymnast isn’t moving they will stop the music, realize the problem, switch the music, and let her go again. She will not get a deduction! I am glad she was still able to perform to the music!!! Hope this helps and tell her good luck at the rest of her meets:)

What should a gymnast do if the wrong floor music starts playing? My daughter just had this happen to her. She is using the newer level 4 music but the gymnasts just before her were using the older version of the music. When she came out on the floor, the older music started playing and she went ahead and performed her routine to that music. She just happened to have been right with the music because a few years ago she had been learning the routine to the older music so it wasn’t completely awkward for her but I was just wondering if she should stand and wait for the right music, walk off and wait until the fix the music (knowing that the coach would help her get the right music to the person operating the controls)?

This helps so much. I am 12 years old and just started gymnastics a year ago. I can’t get my back handspring,front handspring bridge but I’m getting there. Thanks….

Technically whey you punch the spring board you should be slightly leaning back (feet in front of your body). This will make your pre-flight bigger and lessen the potential of having a pike in your vault… You can get deduced for leaning forward because it closes your shoulder angle, making it impossible to have a good pre-flight and forcing you to pike up! So next you vault try arm circling and punching the spring board with you feet in front:)

In the approach on vault, does the gymnast’s body need to be straight up and down? Someone told my daughter it does and is a 0.4 deduction if it isn’t but this makes it hard to accelerate.

Nope, a coach may go out on the floor as much as they need (as long as they don’t touch or spot the gymnast) without receiving a deduction. Deductions for coaches being on the floor exercise are not given until level 7 Hope this helps!
