Olympic Floor Champ Sandra Izbasa

Many are happy and happily surprised that the Floor champion from Romania actually made a comeback, winning Floor at the World Cup last weekend.

But is this truly a good Floor routine?

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

I think not. It’s hard to say what’s more depressing in 2010: Women’s Floor or Men’s Horizontal Bar. Both are dreadful, far less impressive than the best routines of 2004 and earlier.

I blame the F.I.G. rules on those apparatus.

I’ve never been a fan of Sandra’s Floor. But, to be fair, I expect it will improve. She’s only been cleared for full routines recently.
