Cross slope

The cross slope (terminologically correct cross support ) is a force holding element on the gymnastics equipment rings .

The element is listed in the Code de Pointage (CdP), the official valuation rules for men, in the strength and holding elements (element group IV). It is a B-value part and has a difficulty value of 0.20. The difficulty values ​​in artistic gymnastics range from 0.10 for an A-value part to 0.70 for a G-value part (maximum difficulty).

terminology

The term cross slope is a conventional expression that was defined by the International Gymnastics Federation and included in the international valuation regulations. Since one always speaks of support behavior when the shoulder axis is above the device axis and the arms exert pressure on the device, the terminologically correct designation is cross support .

technology

The element can be taken from different positions. If the gymnast is in support , he lowers his body with straight arms in the side supports. With perfect holding position, the arms are approximately 90  ° abduction . The shoulders are therefore approximately at handle height. The tips of your feet point towards the landing mat . This completely still position must be held for two seconds. Overgripping, i.e. a type of grip in which the gymnast reaches into the rings with his hands so far that he no longer supports only with his hands, but with the wrist or even with the forearm, is not permitted.

rating

The former German gymnast and Olympic champion Hermann Weingärtner shows a cross slope on an outdoor ring frame at the Olympic Games in 1896.

Points are deducted for angular deviations from the perfect holding position. With this element, the angular deviation from the perfect holding position determines the degree of the technical error and the associated technical point deduction. A slight deviation (up to 15 °) represents a small error that leads to a deduction of 0.10 points. Medium (16–30 °) and large deviations (over 30 °) are punished with deductions of 0.20 and 0.30 points, respectively. If the deviation is more than 45 °, the element will not be recognized by the D-panel responsible for the content of the exercise. If the element is not held for a full two seconds, 0.20 points will be deducted. If it does not stop at all, the element will not be recognized. If the arms, legs or the upper body are not stretched or posture corrections are made, this also leads to a deduction of points.

Muscles involved

The pectoralis major muscle , latissimus dorsi muscle and the entire shoulder muscles are primarily used on the cross slope . M. trapezius , M. rhomboideus major and M. rhomboideus minor have a stabilizing function .

variants

The cross slope can also suspensions of the legs ( cross angle support ) or stop at acute angle ( Kreuzspitz angle support are gymnastics). The cross angle support is a B-value part with a difficulty value of 0.20. The cross-acute angle support is a C-value part with a difficulty value of 0.30.

There are numerous other elements that include the cross slope. Element group III includes elements in which a force holding element is taken from a swing element. Elements of this group are, for example: Tip into the cross slope (C-value part, 0.30); Push backwards into the cross slope (C-value part, 0.30); Forward somersault between the rings directly into the cross slope (D value part, 0.40).

Further elements of group IV (force and holding elements) are u. a .: From the slope, pulling clamp with stretched arms into the cross slope (D value part, 0.40); From the support, slowly lowering with stretched arms into the slope, pulling jack with stretched arms on the cross slope (C-value part, 0.30); From the head cross , slowly lowering into the steep slope and slow rim backwards into the cross slope (D-value part, 0.40).
