Honorable Mentions - Favorite Floor Routines

I've recently written two more posts for Full Twist--one is a profile on Peyton Ernst and her coach, Kim Zmeskal-Burdette (http://fulltwist.net/catching-peyton-ernst-coach-kim-zmeskal-burdette-usa/), and the other is a list of my top 10 favorite floor routines (http://fulltwist.net/top-10-favorite-floor-routines/).

Some "honorable mentions" outside my top 10 floor routines include:

  • Sandra Izbasa's floor routine (2008)
  • Cheng Fei's floor routine (2008)
  • Anna Pavlova's floor routine (2008)
  • Anna Myzdrikova's floor routine (2009)
  • Jordyn Wieber's floor routine (2010-11)
  • Anna Dementyeva's floor routine (2010)
  • McKayla Maroney's floor routine (2011)
  • Rebecca Bross' floor routine (2011) 

I think Rebecca Bross deserves a "Best Floor Routine" award. :) I really like all the routines she performed as a senior gymnast. Also, her score of 15.233 on floor in the 2010 World Championships all-around final was the highest floor score recorded at any Worlds in the last quad. It also would have placed second behind Aly Raisman in the 2012 Olympic floor final!
