About
At C value, the front layout full and front layout 1.5 used to be the pariahs of the dismount world, not difficult enough to receive full composition requirement and therefore pointless. The elimination of the minimum dismount difficulty requirement has led to soaring popularity for these two C elements, which most gymnasts feel totally comfortable counting for D-score and deem worth it to perform because of the avoided execution deductions compared to going for a D skill.

Also, dismount combinations. Not just for back handsprings anymore.

Value
C

Because gymnastics is a comedy, not a drama
