2013 World Championships Women's Floor Final
2013 World Championships Women's Floor Final
Simone Biles of the USA won the floor title with a 15.000. Simone's routine included a tucked double double and a double layout half-out. This was an amazing week for Biles who also grabbed a gold in all-around, silver on vault and bronze on beam.
Vanessa Ferrari of Italy earned the silver medal on floor with a 14.633. Ferrari put on a show and closed her routine with a stuck double pike.
Larisa Iordache of Romania placed third with a 14.600. Iordache was coming off of a disappointing performance in the beam final where she fell on her tuck full. Iordache was a favorite for gold on that event.
