Why is there a whistle on the gymnastics field in gymnastics competition?

The careful audience found that there was a whistle during the floor exercise. Yes, both men and women have whistles in floor exercises, but the meaning of whistles is different.

Let's talk about men's floor exercise first: the time limit for male athletes to do a set of prescribed movements or optional movements is 50-70 seconds. The timekeeper of the referee group (sometimes held by the line-of-sight referee or recorder) starts the stopwatch when the athlete makes the first action, and honks once when the athlete makes 50 seconds to inform the athlete that you have done the action for 50 seconds, which meets the minimum requirements of the rules for time. There are 20 seconds left in the activity. If the action ends in the middle of 50-70 seconds, the timekeeper will no longer inform the referee, and the referee will score according to the normal situation. If the athlete's action is not completed, when the time reaches 70 seconds, the timekeeper will make a second sound. Those who complete the action after the second letter will be deducted. Get 0. 1 minute for more than two seconds; Deduct 0.2 points in five seconds and 0.3 points in nine seconds; More than nine seconds, 0.5 points. The timekeeper informed the referee to deduct points, and the referee deducted them from the final score.

Let's talk about women's floor exercise: Although the music is loud, the attentive audience can also hear the flute twice. The time requirement for female athletes to choose their own movements in floor exercise is one minute to one minute and thirty seconds. The watch changing time is the same as that of male athletes, which is subject to the start and end of the action. If a set of movements is completed in less than one minute, the timekeeper will notify the referee and deduct 0.05 points for every second less. If the athlete continues to do this, the timekeeper will give the first warning signal at one minute and twenty-five seconds and the second warning signal at one minute and thirty seconds. Release secondary warning signal, 0.3 points.

The time required for women's self-selected action on the balance beam ranges from one minute and fifteen seconds to one minute and thirty-five seconds, and the timekeeper gives two signals at one minute and ten seconds and one minute and thirty seconds. The full set of movements is less than one minute and fifteen seconds, and 0.05 points will be deducted for every second less; If it exceeds one minute and thirty-five seconds, 0.3 point will be deducted.
