Full Twisting Double Layouts on Floor Exercise in Women's Gymnastics

A montage of all the full twisting double layouts (both full-outs and full-ins) performed by various gymnasts over the years. This skill is one of the most difficult tumbling passes on floor exercise and has a "G" rating. Only 7 gymnasts have performed this pass and some of competed it only once or twice because it is so difficult. Kristen Maloney, Trudi McIntosh, Oksana Chusovitina and Daiane Dos Santos have all performed it at the Olympics. It has also only been done twice in NCAA. The first was in 2005 by Kristen Maloney and the second was Brandi Personett in 2009. The gymnasts in this montage are Christina Bontas, Trudi McIntosh, Jana Bieger, Brandi Personett, Daiane Dos Santos, Oksana Chusovitina and Kristen Maloney. Who do you think did this the best?

Shortly after I made this, I realized I had forgotten Ji Liya who competed this in 1995. I also forgot the original gymnast who did it from the USSR.

Thanks for making this:

@shawndell14111 I made this video in 2009 before Kytra started competing it. Kytra's is fantastic though.

Cristina Bontas has the best by far!!!

Is it me or does this look not as hard as the full twisting double back they did in the 90's.

Oksana in 1991!!

i looked this up just to see what my friend does and holy shit! she's trying to do this and holy shit this looks hard.

I like them all, cause I cannot do a fraction of that shit. An aerial, front flip, the splits, walk on my hands, back walkover and the fuck Im done. Not bad for 34, but I used to be able to do some of those things, but a back injury sat me down. Im greatful for the little things, so they are all GREAT!!! LOL

No, her full twisting double layout has bent legs and unpointed toes.

I'm sorry, but if you are bent at the hips more than 45 degrees, it is a pike...

I have a soft spot for Dos Santos. I was hoping that Ostapenko would be able to whip her form and lines into shape, but I still love her nonetheless.
