  ## Baumann element
  
  In April 2017, the Technical Committee of the International Gymnastics Federation officially included a personalized "trick" named after Baumann as a scoring element. The new F element corresponds in future to a degree of difficulty of 0.6 points. At the World Cup qualification in Doha in March 2017 Christian Baumann performed the element for the first time in a competition.
