Written description of Aleksei Nemov's Floor Exercise routine.
He opened with a very impressive pass of: round off - back flic - layout double back full. The full twist was performed exactly in the middle of the flight, take off and landing were done with perfect posture.
The second pass consisted of forwards tumbling: front handspring - layout front - layout front full - layout front 1 1/2, with a jump into planche dive towards the center of the mat, landing with stretched body on the mat.
Aleksei rests on his arms with stretched body, before setting up a very impressive series of close to the mat work, alternating between Thomas flairs, spindles, Thomas flairs and finally his trademark breakdance shoulder rolls, ending exactly in a straddled sit and striking a classic male gymnastics pose, facing the audience.
From sit he presses straight out into a Schwalbe, before standing up and getting into position for the third pass.
This pass, lateral along the line, is mixed: round off - back flic - layout back double twist - punch front - jump into planche dive, with Aleksei sort of swimming dry on the mat a few instants later. He uses a quick press to handstand - neck roll - gymnastics jump to get into the corner for his final pass.
The dismount is round off - backflic - double back piked.
