Favorite Routines: Danusia Franics. Floor Exercise, University Games

This edition of Favorite Routines is featuring Great Brtiain's Danusia Francis on the floor exercise.

Danusia was an alternate on the 2012 Olympic Team for Great Britain,  States-side, Danusia has been studying at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA)
and competing with the UCLA Bruins gymnastics team along with gymnastics unicorn, Vanessa Zamarripa, Candian gymnast (and honorary team captain in London) Peng Peng Lee and 2008 team silver medalist, Samantha Peszek.

This summer, Danusia went to Kazan, Russia to represent Great Britain at the University Games. Danusia took sixth place in the floor finals, with the highest execution score. This routine is just beautiful, her dance is gorgeous, the movement is so natural and full of expressiveness and creativity. The tumbling is  beautiful as well too, she sticks all of her landings and her form is breath taking.

Watch this routine and then, make sure you watch her when NCAA gymnastics season comes back again next year.

These women are tough for their perseverance, their bravery, and just generally being awesome.
