Was it an early spring floor, or did it not even have springs??<br /><br />I also loved the Russian front flip. That's the style of front flip I learned in the 80's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-89094438537294835782010-07-14T19:18:09.477-07:002010-07-14T19:18:09.477-07:00I think mukhina is one of the most underrated gymn...I think mukhina is one of the most underrated gymnasts in history, obviously due to her horrible accident. she pushed the difficulty across all four events, and did it with style.
