Friday Five V. 2 : Favorite Floor Routines (USA Gymnasts)

I had all these ideas for Friday Fives for this blog, but I've been so busy I haven't had time to do any!! Finally, I have a little while to post one this week. These are my five favorite floor routines among all USA gymnasts. They span over all years, and all different events. I will do favorite international gymnast floor routines at some point as well. Hope you enjoy them and they bring back memories.


1. Aly Raisman - 2012 Floor Routine
Clearly, this would be one of my top choices! 
This routine is jam packed and won Aly the gold on Floor Exercise at the 2012 London Olympics.


2. Shawn Johnson - 2007 Floor Routine
I know that her '08 routine was more difficult, but I absolutely love this music and how well it fit her age and how blissfully happy she was every single time she performed it!


3. Alicia Sacramone - 2011 Floor Routine
I'm so upset that she did not get to compete this at the 2011 World Championships because of her injury. This was definitely not 100% yet, but I loved this routine. The music and how dramatic it was, it was just sooo Alicia! 


4. Elise Ray - 2000 Floor Routine
Elegant. Graceful. Beautiful. This routine was all of that and more. 



5. Kristen Maloney - 2000 Floor Routine

Kristen Maloney was the best tumbler in the world in 2000 and she had the hardest floor routine at the 2000 Sydney Games. The tumbling passes in this routine are just crazy!

Honorable Mentions

Carly Patterson - 2004 Floor Routine
Dominique Moceanu - 1996 Floor Routine
Jordyn Wieber - 2012 Floor Routine
McKayla Maroney - 2011 Floor Routine
