Baumann element[edit]

In April 2017, the Technical Committee of the International Gymnastics Federation officially included a personalized "trick" named after Baumann as a scoring element. The new F element corresponds in future to a degree of difficulty of 0.6 points. At the World Cup qualification in Doha in March 2017 Christian Baumann performed the element for the first time in a competition.[3]

Apparatus Name Description Difficulty Added to Code of Points
Parallel Bars Baumann Giant Swing bwd. to Makuts F (0.6) World Cup Doha
