Which statement is CORRECT in regard to the GOLD Division?

• A. A cast squat on - jump to high bar is awarded two Value Parts.
• B. An exercise with five (5) A elements plus a cast at 10° below horizontal receives a 9.4 Start Value.
• C. A clear hip circle finishing at horizontal fulfills two Special Requirements.
• D. The dismount may be from the high bar or the low bar.

Answer: (B)

In Gold division, Start Value reflects the routine’s difficulty and is set by the combination of elements performed, with the score table assigning specific Start Values to particular element groupings. A routine that includes five A-level elements plus a cast performed at a shallow angle (10° below horizontal) matches the specific pattern on the Start Value table that yields a 9.4 Start Value. The angle of the cast matters because shallower casts contribute to the value as defined in the rules, and the five A elements provide the remaining credit needed to reach 9.4. Why the other statements don’t fit: a cast squat on to the high bar isn’t automatically counted as two separate value parts under Gold rules; a clear hip circle finishing at horizontal typically fulfills only one Special Requirement, not two; and the dismount is performed from the high bar, so saying it may be from the low bar isn’t correct in this context.
