He's a great gymnast, but maybe not top when it comes to pure strength. Anyway, nice little routine with straddle pl. and only his inverted was little bad.. but overall greath gymnast

Well, he got an 8.65 E panel score, so I imagine they did take the .3 deductions on the first three strength holds. They are definitely short. Put a timer to them, they average about 1.5 seconds if you start counting when the hold actually starts.

Paying your dues and getting away with short holds.  Priceless

[GeoffTaucer]

Nice routine, but I would deduct for every single one of those strength holds (except the inverted cross) being too short

[GymnastH89]

Technically they are only required to be 2 seconds so he's actually fine on holds.

@GymnastH89 Not even close. The only one that's at or over two seconds is the inverted cross. The rest of them are maybe 1 1/2 seconds.
