Thanks to the 0.2 bonus, many gymnasts nowadays are competing the forward handspring (B) to front tuck (D).

But back in 2003, Russian gymnast Lidia Sidirova competed the upgraded version of the acro series.

Sidirova competed a front pike (E), which is worth a tenth of a point more than the front tuck. However, it still receives the same bonus.

The routine included a number of rarely done elements such as wolf jump with full turn (D), tuck jump with one and half turn (D) and a front aerial to two feet (D).

She dismounted with an F rated double forward tuck.

Rating is according to 2022-2024 CoP.
