Top Ten Most Original Floor Routines

These are (in my opinion) the ten most original floor exercises ever performed. This was a hard list to compile, but I agree with the end list. They are in no particular order.

Maria Teresa Gargano


Yvonne Tousek


Stella Umeh


Camelia Voinea


Irina Breigina


Gaelle Mys


Silvia Mitova


Svetlana Khorkina


Peng Peng Lee


Yang Yun


The reason that neither Boginskaya nor Strazheva were included was summed up best by mrparke007 at WWGym.

"The problem is that Boginskaya, Strazheva, and Laschenova all received the same modern dance training. I wouldn't call them each unique. They are expressive and precise dancers, but they are not unique."

I hope you enjoyed these videos. If there is another gymnast that just screams UNIQUE to you, post it in a comment! I'd love reading others opinions on these and other original floor workers.

Oshima's New Floor! [LOVE!]

Watch this;
It's Kyoko Oshima's new floor routine at the Tianjin World Cup this morning.

It's A-Score is 5.9
And it can be 6.1 with a few upgrades.
And she's already scored in the 15's with this routine (Highest being 15.1 at JPN Trials).
It seems to me that she might be on a path to the Beijing Floor Finasl!

BTW : If you didn't know, I absolutely LOVE this routine ;)
