Beyond Medals: Best Floor Specialists at Worlds from 1970 to 1999 - WAG

[@gymnasticfan9148]

There's a mistake here (but don't change the order): Silivas has 2 golds on floor, not 3. 25 points in total.

[@RAFAAMARILLAS]

Her performance in 1987 was mind blowing!

[@kevinjewell233]

Kui Yuanyuan was hardly a floor specialist, her beamw as exquisite and she outright deserved the beam Gold in 1997...Andrea Raducan was the Olympic All-Around Champion in 2000 and placed 5th and 3rd in the AA at the 1999 & 2001 Worlds, obviously a GREAT all-Around gymnast, hardly a flor specialist like Sacramone or Feng Che. Raducan also won GOLD on beam in 2001 after a Silver in 1999, as well as a bronze on Beam in 2001, as well as her Silver medal on vault at the Olympics...Mukhina was the All-Around and Floor Gold medalist as well as Bars and Beam silver medalist...THAT is not a "Specialist", they are floor MEDALISTS, not SPECIALISTS...specialists include Sacramone, Ponor, Chusovitina.

I know Kim Zmeskal won the gold on floor in '92, but didn't she also win the bronze at the '91 worlds on floor?

[@gymnasticfan9148]

@@KristinCortez Yes, I don’t know I missed, but I counted her twice and didnt notice

[@ederlifortunato5681]

I would love to see nowadays gymnasts doing Omelianchik, Boginskaya or Khorkina routines. Most of them now can't dance to save their lives. Sometimes I don't even know why they are playing music.

[@abacus299]

Completely agree. Today's power is impressive, but missing the grace, elegance and choreography.

[@genlyai5055]

Other than Whoreky, I totally agree.

[@davidcheung7789]

Agreed. Today it is all about difficulty and keeping up with the code of points which is understandable, but without the graceful dance elements, it's just a small show.

😂 😂😂

Team Romania, Queens!

[@Ps-yh2hx]

Elena Mukhina is the Queen of the floor

[@misterjonathan5643]

I love them all ❤❤ but Shushunova will always have a special place in my heart ❤️ ❤

[@jorgebonilla2234]

Had forgotten that they basically recycled Emilia Eberle’s routine for Mary Lou

[@genlyai5055]

Who did it infinitely worse.

[@murasakino101]

Idk if I missed her, but I'm surprised Dominique Dawes wasn't on here. She has one of my favorite floor routines of all time and I thought she had a gold medal floor routine

[@gymnasticfan9148]

She has a bronze in the Olympics but at World she only has medals on Bars and Beam (2)

[@wheresbaby7783]

How can you not include the 1996 Olympic a a champion

[@catalintheodor8065]

O să apară cât de curând fetele din România 😂😂😂

[@gillianc2895]

Kathy Johnson always performed floor with beauty and grace. Shame she wasn’t ranked here.

[@gordaroo]

Maybe the should change the name and cut out “artistic gymnastics” and just call it tricks.

[@gymnasticfan9148]

Or you don’t the meaning of art. It’s not “ballet gymnastics”, dance is one an extra because everything this gymnasts are doing is art

[@kennithyoung6306]

Break dance practice, KZbin

[@metsdudenj]

Kui was a joke, three front passes and a double twist!
