Event
Floor exercise

Skill type
Acrobatic

Known as
Side somi
Side/sideward somersault

About
The side somi was occasionally used on floor in the 2013-2016 code as a way of circumventing the requirement for a forward/sideward acrobatic element by just throwing this in the middle of nowhere instead of having to do real choreography. But even this was a rare composition choice for that purpose compared to the front aerial or side aerial. Because side somi. It’s just so…no.

Value
A

Because gymnastics is a comedy, not a drama
