Best Answer

In artistic gymnastics, you begin with a start value, usually about 5.00 depending on how hard your skills are. When a skill is performed incorrectly, points are deducted but when they are performed correctly, points are awarded. For example, my start value on bars is 5.00, I have 4 core skills (worth .20 each) and 1 bonus skill (worth .40) If I perform them all correctly I end up with 10.20. That was just a random example, not real, but I hope this helped.

What is harder gymnastics or tumbling?

gymnastics requires tons of strength and grace and so does tumbling. It really depends on the performer preference. In my opinion gymnastics is harder because the strength level needed is massive and in a competition the pressure is enourmous. One mistake and deduction.

In gymnastics is it a deduction if the coach stands by the gymnast on a skill but the gymnast accidentally touches the coach?

Yes, it's still a deduction whether it was intentional or not. To my knowledge, however, there's a difference in deductions according to whether the coach really helps the gymnast complete the skill or if the coach is just there as a comfort to the gymnast.

What is the rules for olympic gymnastics?

Rules for olympic gymnastics is that before you compete a skill that hasn't been done before, it has to be approved by the USA gymnastics committee. And it also has to follow all the rules of gymnastics. For example, you're not allowed to stand on the women's high bar anymore, even though Olga Korbut did in a previous Olympic Games. If you do, it's a HUGE deduction. If a female gymnast takes a skill from men's high bar and adds it to her uneven bar routine she could get a .5+ deduction for the skill not being approved yet. On floor if you throw a quad twist you could get a huge deduction because the judges don't want the athletes to risk injury from such a difficult skill.
