In case you missed the women’s all around gymnastics finals in the Olympics, here is a taste of the Gold and Silver American medal winners’ routines. Nastia Liuken ended up with the gold medal, and Shawn Johnson with silver- the decisive moment was during the floor exercises. These are beautiful examples of not only gymnastics, but also very impressive dancing. The technique is perfect, and musicality in these routines is also wonderful. And to think we complain about getting dizzy in salsa spins….I can’t imagine doing tumbling passes then show control and balance. Enjoy watching these talented athletes/artists!
It is amazing how they finish those tumbling passes right on cue with the music.
