2013 World Championships Men's Floor Final

Men's Floor Final
Kenzo Shirai of Japan won the gold on floor exercise with a crazy routine that ended with a stuck quadruple twist. Shirai scored a 16.00 and his routine earned a 7.400 difficulty rating. Jake Dalton of the USA won the silver medal with great routine that ended with a stuck triple twist for a score of 16.000. King Kohei Uchimura of Japan won the bronze medal with a 15.500.
In the men's floor exercise final, Dalton performed an Arabian double layout to begin his routine. With a stuck triple twisting dismount, Dalton pumped his fists as he left the podium. His 15.600 resulted in the silver medal, finishing behind Japan's Kenzo Shirai. This is the first U.S. men's floor medal since Paul Hamm won the event in 2003. Also in the floor final, Steven Legendre of Port Jefferson, N.Y./Team Hilton HHonors (University of Oklahoma), mounted with a front double full to double front and dismounted with a piked Arabian double front. His 15.366 tied him for fifth place with Diego Hypolito of Brazil.
