THe Soviets really had some good FLoor exercise programs. I was not young enought to remember this (I was only like a year old or so) but looking at youtube...they had good floor programs unlike the US floor exercise...even to this day ..well their are some occasional good ones that the US has! what do YOu think?

Are they aloud to use Tapis in the world or Olympics now?

[violaroadkill]

What do you mean by Tapis?

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

Oh sorry i did not explain, a tapis or more commonly called a resee is that mat she lands on when she does that (I believe it is a Thomas salto) at the end of her first tumbling pass.

I just found out they are not aloud in either worlds or the Olympics.

@gymnasticsloverxoxo It's not a Thomas Salto, it's an Arabian 3/4. And yep, basically all roll-out elements are banned for women now.
