What action results in lowering the Twizzle element for each type of error executed by 1/4 of the team or more?

The action that leads to lowering the Twizzle element by 1/4 of the team or more stems from making an error during the Twizzle. In synchro skating, a Twizzle is a complex element that demands precision and synchronization. If a significant portion of the team executes the Twizzle incorrectly—whether due to a timing misalignment, a loss of balance, or other technical mistakes—the overall quality of the performance is affected. This collective error not only reflects poor execution but also demonstrates a lack of cohesion among the skaters, which is critical in synchro skating.

When assessing performances, judges observe precision and teamwork extensively. Thus, when an error occurs during this element, especially by at least a quarter of the team, it is indicative of a substantial breakdown in execution. This directly results in a reduction of the element's score as it fails to meet the established standards for difficulty and technical accuracy required in high-level synchro skating performances.

Other actions outlined in the choices may have different penalties or scoring implications but do not hit the threshold of at least one-quarter of the team. For instance, completing the Twizzle in under the required time or performing the Twizzle outside the specified area may lead to deductions, but they do not directly involve
