Highest Score Floor Performance ✨ U.S. Gymnastics National Championships 2000-2011

Whip to double layout is still INSANE

[@captainbryce1]

I think Kristen Maloney is the only female gymnast to do this combination.

[@honeyfromthebee]

@@captainbryce1 There have been others. Flavia did it I think in 2019. But it remains rare… which is too bad

[@dukemydogy]

Some of the early 2000s tumbling here is amazing

[@CTmealplanner6387]

Yes! Maloney’s whip to double layout has always been a favorite of mine.

[@meganhigley8838]

Bridget Sloan's full twisting double pike form is incredible. Also that floor routine from Tasha is one of my favorite floor routines ever, the dance fit the music very well and she really sold it. I hated Shawn's 2008 floor music, it didn't have like any beat to it, it just never seemed like good floor music to me.

[@_padfoot]

Think this is the most interesting event of the series. Very fun compilation, lots of routines I've forgotten or never seen.

[@josephqualtier961]

Bridget Sloane so underrated on floor

[@E-ClaireCream]

I was thinking the same. I never gave her the credit, despite her being literally AA World Champ.

[@jorgebonilla2234]

Great front twister. There was always a rumor that she had a front triple twist and I’m sad we never got to see it.

[@lilbatz]

Maloney deserves all the gold medals to do that tumbling with basically one leg.

[@caseymill459]

aliciaspower was insane, and she landed each line perfectly almost everytime. so disappointing that her olympics run wasnt her best.

[@sydneyreynolds6967]

Thank you for this! I'd love you see 2nd and 1st place winners over the years. You're really showing us the progression of gymnastics.

[@goodyougetastar]

God I just remember how promising Mattie was at that Nationals... and how they just completely failed her. Thank god the Karolyi reign is over

[@King_David26]

After TASHA won back to BACK I see the ROUTINES Mimic Hers with an Added Pass🤷🏾‍♂️ LOVE U TASHA💛💛💛

[@ojk46]

Lmao shawn’s score… side note, bridget sloan had amazing tumbling

[@priyajoytidasbabu2040]

Beautiful ❤ love it

[@cosmus3]

SHAWN SHAWN SHAWN ♥

[@d4m0n97]

From 2012- 2022 Simone is legit going to have the best score from 2013-2021

[@francisnguyen6349]

Nice video on Floor Exercise Routine for Gymnastics.

[@agentgirl0205]

I think I'd have been a bigger Tasha Schwikert fan if she hadn't used that horrible floor music so many years in a row... what a talented gymnast! Actually the music in that era was absolutely dreadful all around, gymnastics were beautiful though...

[@aprilsinkowski6776]

I can't even comprehend how one would land a whip double lay... your body has to rotate so quickly in such a small amount of time.. madness

[@mst3kanita]

Carly with music straight out of 1998. j/k

[@andreid.8568]

Man, I swear, american scores crack me up!

[@brodypenn]

Everyone is scored higher domestically. Look at the scores from Chinese nationals!

[@captainbryce1]

Not everyone. On average, yes more scores are inflated domestically. And some of that has to do with "incentive scoring" and other bonuses that they just make up to give an unfair advantage to gymnasts who have a higher D score. But some gymnasts (typically the ones with better execution) actually score higher internationally for doing the exact same routines they do domestically. It's almost like the international judges are looking for different things and have a preferred style.

[@bagelized]

You do realize that most countries in the world inflate domestic scores, right?

[@just_me_1044]

As amazing as most of this tumbling is, the form on some of these twists is just ugh. Hardly anything can top a beautifully performed triple twist but it is just so easy to spot errors like crossed feet and it gets ugly quickly... or is that just my opinion?

[@etheldingleberry8075]

They each have Dr. Larry Nassar to thank for keeping them healthy and fit.

[@izra8864]

You should’ve added Simone Biles’ floor routine from the Tokyo podium training, just to compare them all together. Her podium training floor routine was literally impeccable

[@goodyougetastar]

The video is for US Championships only and Simone wasn't even a senior in 2011?

[@kauanvital3808]

I think Shawn Johnson was always overscored by USA judges. When she competed international championships with the same performances she scored way lower

[@captainbryce1]

And yet, she still won the gold medal at the 2007 worlds and the silver at the 2008 Olympics on floor. Inflated scoring or not, she was the best in the world on floor at one point.

[@kauanvital3808]

​@@captainbryce1 That's not the point. She scored 15.500 at floor finals in Beijing for example. Her 16+ scores at nationals were extremely overrated considering she had lack of artistry, flexibility and execution errors. She was a great gymnast but let's be fair.

[@murasakino101]

​@@kauanvital3808literally almost every country overscores their athletes at nationals so it's best not to fret over it. It would have been a much bigger issue if they overscored her internationally(which they actually did on her amanar considering she never got it completely around. They were pretty lenient during that quad though given there were a ton of triples on floor and beam that were credited but weren't all the way around)

[@marshajulessa2995]

Missing Simone Biles and Aly Raisan

[@annikonion]

This was before Simone’s time in senior elite

[@captainbryce1]

Read the title again

[@murasakino101]

I love Simone but I'm glad this video was just 2000-2011 since we know she would have been the only athlete for all the years after except for 2017 and 2022 lol
