Bronze beam dismount requirements specify that the dismount must be without a salto or aerial.

• A. Dismount without a salto or aerial.
• B. Dismount must include a salto.
• C. Dismount may be performed on the ground.
• D. Dismount is optional.

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that on Bronze beam, the dismount must end with a non-salto, non-aerial exit from the apparatus. This means the final move cannot involve flipping or leaving the beam in the air; it should finish with a controlled, grounded landing off the beam, such as a step-off, small hop, or another non-flipping ending that returns to the floor mat with control.

This makes the correct choice the best because it directly reflects the rule: the dismount is restricted to non-salto, non-aerial movements. Choosing any dismount that includes a flip or aerial contradicts the requirement. Likewise, dismounts performed on the ground aren’t completing a proper exit from the beam, and claiming the dismount is optional would ignore the necessity of finishing the routine with a proper dismount.
