Women’s Group Handstand Clarifications:
- FIG Acro Newsletter #13 (December 2020)
- Clarifies that a handstand with point of support in contact with the floor does NOT fulfill the handstand requirement rule. This will apply to all international track athletes.
- All Development levels (level 8-10)
- A handstand with point of support in contact with the floor DOES fulfill the handstand requirement rule.
- Bonus Skills
- Any handstand/shape on a point of support in contact with the floor will NOT count as a bonus element, just as they cannot count as a special requirement based on the December newsletter.
