About
The cat leap with full turn has no footprint in modern elite gymnastics as it seems pretty much everyone as a group has decided that this full-turning business is not worth the risk for C (0.3) value.
There should be some appeal in dance elements that don’t need to hit a 180-degree split—because there are definitely elite gymnasts who struggle with that—but all of them are fairly rare when it comes to routine composition. Staying on the beam for a split deduction will always defeat the chance of falling.
