Credit must be earned

A skill must meet its technical definition to receive difficulty credit. A fall, physical assistance or a missing hold may prevent recognition; execution deductions may still apply to the attempted skill.

Repeating a skill

Repeating an already credited element does not add difficulty or connection value again. After a fall, the gymnast may retry a missed element, but apparatus-specific repetition limits still matter.

Independent explanations and translations, not official federation publications. This guide explains the supplied FIG men’s artistic Code of Points for 2025–2028. It concerns artistic gymnastics; women’s artistic gymnastics has a separate code and different apparatus requirements. The all-around combines scores from floor, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar. Team formats and qualification places are governed by the competition’s technical regulations.
