Hi gym fans! I am wondering if anyone knows if there are hard and fast rules for when it makes sense for an elite gymnast to reattempt a skill they fell on. I vaguely remember Tim Daggett sometimes commenting on this in the past after a gymnast would fall, i.e. "this is a composition requirement, she has to reattempt otherwise...."
But I feel like I rarely see gymnast reattempting skills after a fall in competition. So I'm curious when you would have to or really benefit from doing so. For example, if they completely miss their hands on a bars release, would they lose the value of that skill if they don't reattempt?
