Scoring Controversy
The film (well, certainly the latter part) makes reference to a controversy surrounding the way points are deducted against all manner of trivial offences. Looking through some of the other real-life gymnastics articles, I haven't seen any references to this controversy. Is this a controversy that was invented for the film, or is it a real issue? If the latter, and it is included in another article, would it be possible to include a link to it? StephenBuxton (talk) 16:05, 26 November 2007 (UTC)


 * The senseless deductions used to exist. I do know they had a major re-vamp of the scoring system within the last five years. I'm not sure if they were removed at that time or not - I admit I'm not as "up" on the sport as I used to be. I do know they have re-tooled the scoring system, as now the perfect "10" is literally impossible.SkittlzAnKomboz (talk) 01:56, 11 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I could've sworn this article used to have a commentary on the whole situation and whoever removed it is a worthless fuckbag.


 * I looked at the previous versions, and recommend a revert back at least a year. Dec 2009 is easier to read. No mention of above edit, but the article looks more NPV and looks like a review. Seems someone's been sandboxing the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.174.83.232 (talk) 15:58, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

There was a real protest by gymnasts that led to a change in the rules. The title of the movie "Sticking it" refers to "sticking the landing" (finishing a routine in a rigidly "ideal" pose without absorbing the impact of landing with legs requiring the bones, and spine to absorb it all.) That, and other compulsory moves was protested as so harmful to the gymnast's bodies they couldn't do it beyond a certain age. Usually under 12. Their bodies were so badly damaged by then. Feminists had been protesting the sport for ageism, as well as the tight costumes impugning perverse, and obscene sexual motives to it. Gymnasts distanced their movement from feminist protests as feminists hadn't been taking the health of the gymnasts into consideration at all. Sticking the landing, as well as some other moves deemed damaging, was removed as a compulsory move. The sport reporting then saw older gymnasts competing. I don't know the current status of sticking the landing is as a compulsory move. There was some left wing/right wing controversey about the protests with the right taking the position that the sport was voluntary, and the participants should follow the rules of the authorities regardles of the harm, and possible perverse or obscene sexual motives. The left left taking the position that the injustice of the situation was so clear that even 12 year old girls took corporate, and radical action. Both sides decrying the protests with the right saying young girls shouldn't protest, and the left saying they shouldn't have to. 98.164.74.140 (talk) 11:57, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
