description Piked Full-In Overview
The piked full-in is an advanced gymnastics tumbling skill performed on the floor exercise apparatus. It consists of a double backward somersault with a full 360-degree twist incorporated into the first salto, executed with the body in a pike position. This element is rated as a high-difficulty skill in the FIG Code of Points and is typically performed only by elite-level gymnasts. The term 'full-in' indicates that the twist occurs during the first of the two saltos, distinguishing it from a 'full-out' where the twist occurs in the second salto.
