The challenge can only be brought forward after the gymnast’s final score is posted and before the end of the next gymnast’s routine.
Floor routines are a maximum of 90 seconds, plus you figure maybe at least 30 seconds between a final score going up and the next person starting their routine.
Yes, sorry I should’ve been more clear. I had read the assertion that everyone but the last gymnast/group gets 4 minutes and wanted to find if that was the correct amount of time, because that seems grossly unbalanced.
2(ish) minutes is still better than 1. I think when the rule was made they could’ve easily done the math and made it so the last gymnast was given at least 2 minutes.
