Dominique Moceanu: what would her balance beam routine be worth with the modern code of points?

Question

What would Dominique Moceanu's 1996 Olympic balance beam routine be worth with the modern Code of Points?

Answer 1

In the 2009 Code of points, Dominique's beam routine from the team finals would be worth



The skills and connections are:

Silivas Mount with extra 1/1 turn (C)

Backhandspring (B) + Layout Stepout (C) + Layout Stepout (C) + Layout Stepout (C) +.2

Full turn with leg below horizontal (A)

Split Jump (A) + Jump with 1/2 turn to straddle (I guess that is closest to a leap with 1/4 turn to straddle, so it's a B)

Front tuck to cross stand (D)

Wolf Jump (A) + Flic Flac with 1/4 twist to handstand (C)

Johnson (C)

Round Off (B) + Double Tuck Dismount (D)



For Composition requirements she gets

.5 for 2 dance elements connected

.5 for a turn

.5 for acro series

.5 for acro elements in different directions

.5 for having a D or higher dismount



You count the highest 8 skills, and at least 3 must be dance skills. You cannot count 2 of the same element.

So her top 8 are D, D, C, C, C, C, B, A

A=.1, B=.2, C=.3 etc.



So her total would be

2.3 for her skills, 2.5 for requirements and .2 for connection bonuses, making her routine worth 5. With a 10.0 execution, she would get a 15.

Answer 2

They don't take away any points or give any points for thumbs down. They should cost two points for thumbs down so nobody will be quick to do that.
