Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How long should it take to do the beam routine?

Answer: Between 1 min. and 1 min. 10 sec.

At most meets, they ring a bell once after 1 minute for a warning, and twice after 1 minute 10 seconds. The judges can take off points if you are too fast or too slow. On all levels of gymnastics competition, the beam routine should take about a minute, depending on the routine.

2. Which of these skills is not in the level 6 beam routine?

Answer: Back Walkover

The back walkover is in the level 6 beam routine, which is much harder than the level 4 beam routine.

3. In the beam routine, the handstand has to be all the way up to vertical?

Answer: False

The handstand only has to be up to a 3/4 handstand position, which is almost all the way up.

4. In the arabesqe-scale-arabesqe combination, how high does your lifted leg have to be in each of the arabesques?

Answer: 45 degrees

In the arabesque, your chest should be straight and vertical, and your bad leg should be lifted behind you as high as it can go.

5. In the arabesqe-scale-arabesqe combination, how high does your lifted leg have to be in the scale?

Answer: 90 degrees

In the scale, your chest cannot drop below horizontal, and your back leg should be lifted as high as it can go.

6. How far apart do your legs have to be in the split leap?

Answer: 60 degrees

This does not sound like it is very hard, but when you're actually on the beam, it's kind of scary!

7. How many straight jumps come before the split jump in the routine?

Answer: One

In level 3, there are no straight jumps before the split jump, in level 4 there is one, and in level 5 there are two.

8. During the coupe walk pass, how high on your toes should you be?

Answer: All the way on high toe

In the coupe walk pass, you point your right leg in front, step and point you back left behind you, pull your left foot to your right ankle, and repeat with the legs reversed.

9. What type of handstand is in the dismount?

Answer: Side handstand

Some people call this cartwheel to handstand. The handstand must be held for 1 second before coming down.

10. How wide is the balance beam?

Answer: 4 inches

This is around the width of most people's feet.
