Kristen Maloney of Parkettes performs the most difficult floor routine at the 2000 Sydney Olympics during women’s gymnastics prelims. In today’s code, these tumbling passes would be a G (full twisting double layout), A+F (whip immediate double layout) and A to E (front through to triple twist). She was also doing this difficult routine with a stress fracture, a rod in her leg and a sprained ankle. She had also lost a lot of weight, making it even more amazing that she had the power to tumble like this when she was really thin. A step out of bounds cost her a spot in event finals but her score from team finals would have earned her a medal in floor finals. Also, not only was this the most difficult routine done in 2000, it is also one of the most difficult floor routines of all time. Only Daiane Dos Santos has done a more difficult routine. Her routine in Beijing had 2 G skills (Dos Santos 2, full twisting double layout) and an F (double layout). Shawn Johnson and Cheng Fei have also come close with their 2008 Olympics routines with a G (double double) an A+E (whip-triple) and an E (full-in).
