GymCastic 316: CATS – European Championship Edition has the best commentary on Celine van Gerner’s historic routine in the Floor final at Europeans.
It includes a phone interview with Celine’s choreographer Daymon Jones. He’s an American dancer turned coach who worked on the CATS show for years.
I agree with their conclusions. It worked for this gymnast at this meet.
Still, FIG WTC should define what is allowed in terms of theatrics. (FIG Acro has already done so.)
What Celine did should be allowed, IMHO. But I’d disallow leotards with lights, for example. No props. Any kind of make-up or hair should be OK.
Co-written with Mr. GymCastic. 😀

Celine VAN GERNER (NED) first teased on social media.
She then astonished the audience during the Floor final march-in.
Click PLAY or watch her routine on YouTube.
Celine finished 4th 4.600 + 8.700 = 13.300. Only two tumbling lines. The medalists had D-scores of 5.5, 5.5 and 5.3.
Has anyone else had an 8.700 E-score on Floor this quad? Judges loved it!
I loved it too. It worked for this meet. … But FIG WTC should define clearly just how much theatrics is allowed / encouraged.

Much of the most bizarre choreography I can recall came out of Romania.
Thanks Spencer.
