The highest score a gymnast can achieve in a routine is a perfect 10.0, although scoring systems have evolved. Under the new scoring system, scores are based on two components: the Difficulty Score and the Execution Score. Judges assess a gymnast’s routine regarding its difficulty, skill level, and precision of execution, deducting points for errors. Achieving a perfect score in modern gymnastics is extremely rare, making it a highly esteemed accomplishment. Gymnasts strive not only for high scores but also for artistic expression in their performances.
