About
The basic tuck jump with no turning is not a recognized skill in international gymnastics (because of…pick it up, this is elite), so the tuck jump 1/2 for B (0.2) is the first available option in a tucked position.

At any major competition, there will typically be a couple gymnasts putting the tuck jump 1/2 onto the end of a mixed series for bonus—front aerial to split jump to tuck jump 1/2 is the usual selection—but it’s not the most common choice. Despite a tuck jump being easy, it seems the turning is a turning off.
