China’s He Xuemei on floor at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. I really really enjoyed the dance in this routine, and also it was cool to see the variety of tumbling! Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy that the ladies aren’t allowed to do the roll-out skills anymore (but I find it a bit sexist that men are allowed to still) but it is pretty cool to see it performed! I actually gasped because I thought she was gonna land on her head! I had just read about the Sang Lan thing….can you blame me? Haha :) Hope you all enjoy!
Anna Pavlova, one of my favorite gymnasts, performed a near perfect and totally beautiful floor routine during the All Around competition at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. As the BBC announcer described it, “captivating!” It really is. I just wish she had been able to perform this well during floor finals! So beautiful, I love love love this routine!
