REPORT - Women's Floor Finial

Japanese gymnasts came to the final as the first and the last performer respectively, and showed the most difficult routines. The last performer, Risa Konishi had very strong tumbling pass: tucked full-in; double twisting front; Y-scale turn; two and a half twist to layout front; triple twist dismount. She made the most use of her body and the execution was very gorgeous to win the gold with a big margin. Another Japanese and the first performer, Mai Murakami, had the most difficult set; tucked double-double; double twisting punch layout front to punch tucked front (that was supporsed to be layout), piked doube; triple twist dismount. She entered third after all next to China's TAN Sixin, who went out of bounds in her dismount. TAN's choreography was very eye-catching and had a strong body line.
