Sickled Feet

Applicable to Women’s Artistic Gymnastics  

Definition: A foot position in which the toes curve inward; opposite of turn out. A sickled foot position breaks the visual straight line from shin to toes. 

Explanation: Judges may apply one of two deductions for sickled feet, depending on if the error occurred during a skill/major element, or during choreography. 

  • During a skill/major element, a flat 0.05 deduction will be applied. 
  • During the choreography of the routine, judges may take up to -0.3 for incorrect foot form throughout the beam and/or floor routine. This is an overall deduction that is applied at the end of the routine.  Incorrect foot form includes flexed feet, sickled feet, failure to show lock positions when designated, failure to show turn-out, and failure to show steps in toe-ball-heel sequence.
