Floor

Male gymnasts also perform on a 12m. by 12m. spring floor. A series of tumbling passes are performed to demonstrate flexibility, strength, and balance. The gymnast must also show strength skills, including circles, scales, and press handstands. Mens floor routines usually have four passes that will total between 60 70 seconds and are performed without music, unlike the womens event. Rules require that male gymnasts touch each corner of the floor at least once during their routine.
