New code -- deduction

Take a look at Shawn's 2008 Olympic FX EF routine:

Under the new code, per what they said @ Classic, landings like Shawn's double-double (1st pass), 3rd pass and final pass, in which she does she "gymnast lunge landing" would be deducted for.


Umm...what???

When I look at this routine, I think it's darn near perfect as far as landing, minus her second pass. They're really going to deduct for that? The girl's doing a double-double for pete's sake. And whereas she could end with a double pike, she chooses a full-in. Give her a break; she's in total control of the landings. A deduction is ludicrous.
