Jordyn Wieber (USA) Floor Exercise, London 2012

[@karenKristal]

that first pass was legendary

[@laurenbrown7403]

Like what do you mean it was legendary?

[@alicetatiana9827]

Her smile makes it even more legendary :D

[@mafeciita191]

alicetatiana98 i know, it was beautiful.

[@RainbowDave009]

it's extremely hard to do it. and It was perfectly done. I think she should have gotten a 16.00 for this floor, It was so good that night. McKayla her vault should have been given A 16.4 or 16.5. so We still won but we had At least 2 routines that I would have scored higher. but jordyn Wieber is amazing!

[@louern123]

agree. it's as if she moves in slow motion when she twists. totally legendary.

[@dahighbar]

She wasnt going through the motions in this routine you can tell she was living in the moment and it was beautiful

[@nicolewilton1462]

That smile after she lands that first pass 😁 She knows she’s going to kill that routine

[@dmarquel14]

Her smile after that first pass is priceless

[@heatherpenn5675]

Hard to believe she did that with a stress fracture in her leg. How tough is she? Love this routine a lot. Awesome.

[@camsmith3707]

she WHAT

[@camsmith3707]

she WHAT

[@heatherwicker9990]

CamColeParker yep she had a stress fracture in her tibia I believe and was in a boot after the games. I think it’s a big reason she didn’t make the AA. She lost points with small steps.

[@amyg4115]

They were all so broken by the time they made it to London.

[@emmiemay7377]

@@amyg4115 mckayla moroney with the broken toes. Such a shame too

[@lilykim8244]

This is my favorite floor exercise routine ever. The song fitted the choreography well, unlike most routines, and the "artistic" parts of it (the dancing) wasn't awkward, also unlike most routines. I always cringe when I watch gymnasts dance in their floor routines.

[@rockymcduffie8603]

Really? I thought this was god ugly besides the tumbling

[@eurekamreum5458]

R. McDuffie This was pretty decent. I'm all for team USA but Gabby's floor routine really was god ugly.

[@elizabetha.coolbrith1062]

I agree

[@kjmo10]

To me,THIS was one of the highlights of the games, on any sport!

[@benmacgillivray145]

i agree kevin

[@TheGymSavant]

Yeah, it was great to see her to finish her TF comp so strongly, after what happened in qualification...

[@sarahsutton898]

Chanel Oberlin um does that mean Gabby Douglas isn’t a highlight? Cuz Aly qualified in front of her as well.

[@sarahsutton898]

Chanel Oberlin I like Komova, she is also a highlight from these games.

[@_wtr_1127]

Sarah Stewart Gabby qualified over Raisman !

[@daniellest.george5931]

She is such a class act. This routine gives me goose bumps, as I can't imagine what it's like to be taking from your lowest low, and have the floor routine of your life. Love her, such a role model.

[@george39821]

I love when jordy smiles for sticking that double double.. but a second later she says to herself " bitch stop smiling. Concentrate" ans she puts that serious face lol.. go jordyn!

[@UpAndLeave]

I love her big smiles after the tumbling passes

[@notdevall3610]

I don't see how she heard her floor music over all of the noise!

[@kevinsam3078]

Sometimes its hard to, maybe they just dance to muscle memory if they cant hear the music , they sure practiced it so many times

[@rugbyplayer9100]

@@kevinsam3078 I always wonder if they practice that in the gym. Like they have the coach play loud noises over the music and have her do her floor routine

[@Rachel-ez5jg]

The number of times I've done my routine by now I could do it in a room with people screaming at me. It becomes muscle memory and I don't train nearly as much as her

[@Griffw06]

I do theater and it is extremely hard to hear over applause sometimes and we rehearse so much that we just sing and dance even though we aren’t hearing the music.

[@FantasyPNTM]

I come back to this moment time and time again. This was such a redemptive performance by Wieber, and just to see her smile after nailing that first pass was so, so incredible.

[@TheNiNjaDoGz]

I love that huge smile on her face when she nails the double-double!!

[@schumi246]

That is my favorite stuck landing from a woman. As great as it is, Marian dragulescu in 2004 vault EF is by far the best.

[@eurekamreum5458]

She could've got a medal with this routine in event final, too bad it didn't happen. But still, the very best floor exercise of her career. Just like McKayla's vault.

[@simplystreeptacular]

The moment she stuck that double double cold I knew this was going to be a routine for the ages - and it was. She was *on fire* that night. Still one of my all-time favorite floor routines ever.

[@missysample4486]

She is unbelievable! 9 years later and I'm still saying...WOW! For me the adrenaline begins after the announcer announces the gymnast name and then says...."representing the United States of America"!... LOVE those words! ....then to have an epic performance like this one. How awesome!

[@nightlock3]

i miss her so much. this was one of the best floor routines of the entire quad

[@coolgirlnumber58]

This routine is the routine that made me fall in love with the sport of gymnastics! In fact, I used her floor music my freshman year of high school because of it :D

[@basic8657]

Jorden weiber came to my gym for gymnastics camp and I was so excitd t see her. she helped me on beam... she is amazing and so kind in person.

[@sletscho]

So sad she won't make a run for Rio. But it's the toughest sport in the world, so a come back is all uphill. Still in awe of her gymnastics - her talent, tenacity and the grace she showed in London. Rules in the Olympics (2 per country) and NCAA (pro can't compete) have kept one of the sports finest athletes on the sidelines to the dismay of her many fans. I'll always be proud to have lost my voice as a result of Wieber Fever!

[@nocomment2468]

This is a floor routine for the ages! And what a testament to her character that she could pull this out after the disappointment from qualifications. An exceptional human being!

[@sophier5508]

Her best FX performance ever ! Too bad she retired, she was an amazing gymnast.

[@Joaomarcosbellonable]

When I see her performance's when she was 12 13 years, I feel that it reached its peak too early, and in London was already decadent. I'm a big fan of her, these olympics didn't represent her true potential...

[@morganst4997]

OMG really she retired!?!?!?!

[@Joaomarcosbellonable]

+Morgan St Yes :'( my favorite gymnast EVER

[@morganst4997]

+João Belloni u can't believe that

[@Joaomarcosbellonable]

+Morgan St I got really sad with her retirement, I cried with her in London and I couldn't believe that she was the first Fierce Five gymnast to retire...

[@TheLizard199]

I haven’t seen many Olympic videos with this crazy level of crowd excitement

[@SmellofSummerHeat]

This is literally one of the greatest gymnastics moments ever.

[@helenasofiamoreira]

I was at the arena and I have to tell you... Jordyn's floor routine was the best moment of the evening!

[@tarantulabunnydog]

Jordyn’s mental strength during these games is an inspiration to me. She overcame disappointment and forged ahead with determination and team spirit. There was nothing more she could have done. A real winner.

[@tumbleboykam1732]

UGH! I'm so jealous her tumbling is just SOOO smooth and flawless

[@elizabethb834]

I love her smile at the end!!

[@notdevall3610]

Same

[@SDoesNotKnow]

In retrospect, what Wieber was able to do after the disappointment of not qualifying for the AA and putting it together for Team USA was incredible. She really had the spirit of a true champion. Also, that arena was LOUD and totally blowing up for her FX.

[@sydneysparks730]

I get chills every time I watch this. What an amazing moment.

[@cosmicdahlia]

Sat behind her in church. An olympian right out of my hometown! Keep it up Jordyn!

[@marcushamner5994]

Jordyn is really awesome! I’ve always wanted to meet her! She’s an awesome coach as well! I go to First Wesleyan in Alabama. What church do you go to?

[@spiderlover678]

Always loved Jordyn's floor routine. My favorite to watch of the fierce five

[@easyA14]

this was by far my favorite floor routine in london. i love jordyn

[@wingsofindigo4962]

Tbh the reason i love this is like...you can see that she really did feel the music in her dance and got into the performance of it, not just the technical elements. Like....thats honestly what really seals an iconic floor for me vs just a good or great one. Its sort of how Podkopayeva did her 96 gold medal floors

[@blazinwolf]

she was spot on in this routine. I felt like in the final she didnt have the same confidence and it showed.

[@chiaraad]

OMG Jordyn you give me goosebumps... Can't wait for her to come back! I just love her gymnastics too much!

[@pretzelsfan]

her smile still warms my heart after three years. love ya jordyn!

[@gapingsnatch]

sorry, but if you want to find the best gymnast in the world it doesn't make sense to eliminate the person who qualified 4th. eliminate 2-per-country, eliminate tie-breaking

[@oulart]

+Adelina Khasanova Gymnast from other countries also deserve to participate. This allows to show the diversity of gymnastic styles. Otherwise it will only be about the highly difficult (but lacking artistry) routines of the Americans. They can have a fierce competition among them in the Nationals as well as in quals and be able to show themselves in the team competition at the Olympics. We want to see diversity!

[@redfire696]

+oulart ok but if u dont have the difficulty you shouldnt be in the finals??? Like having 3 americans wouldnt stop the best from other countries too, it would just kick out some of the lesser atheletes that shouldnt even be in the all around

[@oulart]

It would. Everybody was astounded when in Sidney 2000 all the medals of the AA were for the Romanians (This of course before the doping scandal). This is in part the reason why only two gymnasts are allowed now. For the Olympics everybody upgrades, therefore everybody deserves to be on that spot. I do agree with eliminating the tie-braking rule, that one is ridiculous!

[@carolinesunshiney]

the two country rule is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of. Take away the chance from someone who has worked hard all of their life and is one of the best in the world because of where they're FROM?

[@21cgIN]

that's why i think it should be 3 per country. That way if three gymnasts from one country really deserve to medal, they are going to medal 1-2-3, and there will still be diversity (maybe not on the podium but still). other countries need to push themselves and stop relying on the 2 per country to get medals.

[@taylorbaggins0922]

I'm a gymnast myself, and this makes me so happy to see success!

[@erinhoover1649]

I can't believe how wonderful her moves are!!! It's amazing to see how well she can do under such a great amount of pressure. :)

[@kathrynferguson6492]

She was from my hometown and it’s crazy that one of my first memories is going to the airport to she her come back from this. We also got a rig from her of Facebook marketplace and I was so happy that every time someone came over I would say “ this rug is from Jordan Webber”

[@simpleassembly6517]

Song: Wild Dances - Ruslana

[@alanperez6823]

Awful Ukrainian song :'v

[@richardvergara]

Gosh, she did so well because the pressure was gone. Man, if she only did this on qualification day. She's awesome!!!

[@canyouclay]

This girl was so underscored throughout the entire olympics! Harshly scored in qualifications. And a full point in deductions on this floor routine? Come on, that was flawless! Jordyn is the aa champion in my eyes.

[@golden_leader9227]

It was a really, REALLY good routine, but it was not flawless.

[@soapygirl83]

this routine was just night and day from her routine in prelims, I think this time the excitement and adrenaline were on her side and she really seemed to be enjoying herself.

[@elisecastro_]

her smile after her first pass and at the end of the routine are absolutely priceless.

[@erinhoover1649]

+raras889 How's she amazing, she's an ugly loser.

i love her so so so so much,! favorite gymnast by far.

[@anniebeautyrush]

the smile on her face omg i love it

[@Reiderreiter]

It’s really a shame that Jordyn isn’t really remembered as one of the US legends. She was absolutely on fire leading up to the Olympics but got that leg injury that threw her off just enough. And then immediately after, Simone comes along and just completely blows everyone out of the water.

[@melenak2]

I love watching Jordan’s FX with that awesome stuck DD first pass. I think that she was robbed of the opportunity for AA during qualifications but I feel that the 2 for 2 should be changed to automatically include the World Champion if she (from whatever country) ends up in the top 10 during Olympic qualifying. Meaning there’s a possibility of 3 for that 1 country, but only if she’s the reigning world champ.

[@keljells]

Yeah they definitely have to tweak that kind of thing going forward. It’s just not fair and doesn’t always equal the best going against the best, like it should be. So many opportunities and areas to change things for the positive if they just think rationally and not how they usually do.

[@mfergomi]

so nice to see her happy face!

[@Patslifesjourney]

OMG did not expect the first pass to be that perfect.

[@estefaniasol4004]

[@0xTRellyx0]

I love her floor routine! Great dancing and music! I love my country and my US gymnasts, but the dance coaches need help.

[@Thousand_yard_King]

I saw this little girl in 2011 leading up to the 2012 Olympics do a backflip and at the apex of the flip her head was at least 10 feet off the ground with her feet above her head, I I knew right then and there that this was the best gymnast that's ever lived. And that's saying something
