Gymnastics technique

Dina is known for her fast routines and dynamic apparatus handling. She has maintained a Difficulty value of 10 which was scored in her clubs routine - The last rhythmic gymnast to score a 10 in Difficulty was Evgenia Kanaeva. (10 is the base value for the highest D mark; although the New 2017-2020 Code of Points, 10 Difficulties is no longer on judge's score sheets and thus can be open ended, a gymnast can increase as many D elements to maximize Difficulty; so by the end of the program - a gymnast can get full credit for all the performed difficulties; a full base value 10, regardless if the difficulty is higher than the actual base value of 10).
