The floor exercise is a routine performed in artistic gymnastics, where gymnasts showcase their skills on a padded mat. This event allows athletes to combine acrobatics, dance, and choreography, demonstrating strength, flexibility, and creativity. Routines typically last around 70 seconds and are set to music, enhancing the performance's artistic appeal. During the floor exercise, gymnasts execute a series of tumbling passes, jumps, and turns, all while maintaining balance and control. Judges evaluate the performance based on difficulty, execution, and artistry. The floor exercise is a key component of competitions, including the Olympic Games and various gymnastics championships.
