About
The presence of the stomach turn in the code of points is one of those nods to the idea of a time when people did things on beam that weren’t wolf turns and aerial walkovers but without actually encouraging it. A B (0.2) is just not worth the trouble.

The prone turns have existed in the code since 1979, when there were three of them: a 1/2 turn for A, a full or 1.5 turn for B (as it remains), and a double turn for C in which the first turn had no hand support and the second turn could have “slight” hand support.
