Danikka's Floor Routine


(YouTube link)

He entered the woman's gymnastic floor competition as a lark, and entertained the crowd in more than one way! -via reddit

"You don’t see the men doing that in their floor routines."

pretty sure that was the whole point of this male entering a female competition.

I think he did a very good job, especially since many of the things he did are likely new to him.

What I did notice is that when he did the in-between dance-like moves they looked ludicrous. It points to the sexualization of women's floor routines, with the pretty-pretty, girly girly hand waves, butt shakes, hip shifts, etc. that have little or nothing to do with athleticism take precedence. You don't see the men doing that in their floor routines.

I love watching gymnastics in the winter games, and was a gymnast as a kid (mostly the strength things like parallel bars and rings, not so good at floor), and find the women's floor routines annoying.
