that's what the girl did... purposely took her shoe off and through it to the front.... its just frustrating because as a coach I have seen deductions for picking up a bow or fallen shoe to move from the middle of the mat.... This girl (and I have the video to prove it) purposely took her shoe off and flung it to the front (it literally landed in front of the coaches on the mat).....I think "NO" was accidentally missing from her response. There is NO safety deduction for removing a shoe from the performing surface. You may be deducted if an athlete begins the routine without shoes or intentionally takes shoes off of his or her feet in the middle of the routine, as full soled shoes are required per the general safety rules (gen rule 6 if anyone cares lol) but removing a shoe from the mat is actually smarter and safer than trying to perform on top of it, so therefore is not illegal.
