About
The single Y turn is rather uncommon on floor despite the potential use of performing a B (0.2) turning element in connection out of a D (0.4) turn for a tenth of connection bonus. Most gymnasts choosing this connection have found they prefer the double turn or single L turn for this purpose.
When we see the single Y on floor, it’s usually a seriously under-rotated mistake, or a placeholder for an intended double Y that’s not happening yet.
