That Floor routine everyone is talking about — Steven Legendre — was originally posted by Don Eckert of saltocafe on YouTube.
The most difficult ever performed under the new code, I reckon. (UPDATE: No time limit in NCAA competition.)

That’s 16.7 start, 16.9 if he does whip -> 2.5 twist as he originally intended. Right?
NICK calculates only 16.6….F(6)-F(6)-[C+D](3+1+4)-B(2)-C(3)-[D+C](4+1+3)-C(3)-E(5)=4.1+2.5+10=16.6
UPDATE: From Geoffrey Taucer:
Actually, Nick’s off by one tenth; according to the latest NGJA interperetations release, the value they’ve given the DLO 5/2 is a G, not an F. Otherwise, his calculations appear to be accurate (assuming the final pass is an arabian double pike and not an arabian double lay; which is probably an accurate assumption).
This would put the start value of this routine at 16.7.
