Summary
This week, we have a special episode commissioned by InterGalactic Champion level Club Gym Nerd member Dee, who requested an episode all about our favorite floor routines ever! We're so, so happy to oblige.
HERE is the YouTube playlist of all the routines we will be commenting on in the episode. We'll tell you when to press play, so you can watch along with us as we die of pretty (or hilarity). Plus...
- The word "artistry"—how we feel about using the A word and how we personally define artistry in gymnastics floor routines
- What qualities characterize our favorite floor routines
- Why we won't shut up about Netherlands floor
- The importance of keeping floor exercise weird
- How subjective qualities like artistry can be evaluated numerically when determining scores
- Why aren't choreographers the stars of gymnastics?
