Sadly its' all (or much) about personal preference. As a concert pianist I spent much of my younger life (master's degree in piano performance) playing competitions and most of the time it all depended on what that particular judge liked personally etc,.
Surely there are standards, but when it really comes down to it, if he/she didn't prefer the type of piece I played, it was judged much more harshly than if I played something in the genre they preferred.
I'm sure gymnastics has much of that also.
