now that women's gymnastics is full of such powerhouse moves by such powerful young women, i wish they'd get rid of those silly "dance" moves in the floor routines.
i swear, at one point, gabby douglas does the macarena in her routine.

Yeah it does look so ridiculous!

I think they should adopt the style of men's floor routine -- lots of passes with awesome tumbling.
-
I said the same thing - why do they make them prance around instead of flip, which is what we want to see! It looks so weird and out of place for them to go from a killer flip sequence to flapping their hands around and rolling on the ground! (granted, in a much more elegant and poised way than I ever could).

I agree that the dance is terrible. I don't want it to go away though. I think it would be better if dance was as important as the tumbling. Let's teach them to be beautiful

I hate it the most on beam . . . although it can look pretty great when someone like Viktoria Komova does them, and really terrible when someone like Aly Reisman does them. Talk about a stark contrast!

I think there is a need for it because it gives the girls a chance to catch their breath and get themselves together between the gymnastics moves. They wouldn't be able to just do flip after flip after flip without a break. But I agree they should be more attractive moves! Perhaps just bringing better choreographers to the sport would help.

I haven't watched any olympics! I just like knowing who wins..
