Angel Wong, the first female Olympic gymnast from Hong Kong, originated one of the most difficult mounts on the balance while competing at the 2012 London Olympic Games.
The then 25 year old gymnast mounted the balance beam with a forward tuck half out, which was given an F rating.
The highest rated mount on the apparatus is a G, while the highest rated element is an H, which is a double twisting double back tuck dismount competed by US gymnast Simone Biles in 2019.
Wong grasped the beam in order to avoid a fall on her D rated forward tuck, which was half a point deduction.
She ends the routine with a C rated full twisting forward layout.
In the current CoP (2022-2024), a bonus of 0.20 is awarded for dismounts with a D value or higher on uneven Bars, balance beam and floor.
However, gymnasts were rewarded half a point for competing a D rated or higher dismount as part of the five composition requirements at the time.
As of 2022, Wong is still competing.
Routine was judged in accordance with 2022-2024 CoP.
