Women's Floor Final | Tokyo Replays

Team USA's Jade Carey rebounded from a scary vault final to win the gold the medal in the women's floor exercise final inside Tokyo 2020's Ariake Gymnastics Centre. Four-time Olympian Vanessa Ferrari of Italy won her first medal at the Games, taking silver. Japan's MURAKAMI Mai and ROC's Angelina Melnikova shared the bronze medal.

Carey posted a 14.366 for the win. Ferrari was the silver medallist at 14.200, with Murakami and Melnikova tied at 14.166.

"Coming back from a day like yesterday, I'm really proud of myself for being able to put that behind me and finish with probably the best floor routine I've ever done in my life," said Carey.

Ferrari performed an emotional routine to 'Con te partirò', a song made famous by Andrea Bocelli. The 2006 world all-around champion tumbled a double-double to open and nailed the landing.

Murakami's floor bronze is the first medal for her country in women's gymnastics since they won team bronze in 1964. For Melnikova, it wraps up her Olympics with a third medal after leading ROC to gold nearly a week ago and claiming bronze in the women's all-around final. _____________________________________________________

This finale was just perfect. Jade got redemption. Vanessa got her medal. And I love that two bronzes had to be given. Just a fantastic finale.

I am sooo happy for Vanessa Ferrari. She finally got her first ever medal on floor after coming fourth at the last two Olympics. She hates the number four now number 2 is music to her ears. Congrats to Jade for her amazing routine a very well deserved gold. And Mai Murakami and Angelina Melnikova on their bronze medals.

Vanessa Ferrari's choreography covers such a large surface area of the floor, taking her corner to corner. It is reminiscent of figure skating routines. Absolutely beautiful artistry, performing and tumbling. My favourite floor routine of the Olympics.

Vannesa ferrari’s determination, speechless

[albertore]

I love how the speakers talk about Vanessa. They genuinely love her. She was stunning. 31 years in November and still on the top. Most of the competitors have half of her age. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THEY WILL BE AT THE OLYMPICS AT THEIR 30S. I honestly doubt it.
Congrats to all, anyway but Ferrari really showed what is passion and determination in sport.

Vanessa Ferrari. one word, MESMERISING. So happy for her

[jennysolis]

I love the twins! They just keep smiling and asking photo for everyone. They will be on top in the future. High respect on Jade, she always the first one to approach the contenders after they're done.

The Leo that Jade wore was also worn by Suni when she won gold and by Makyala when she won silver. It is a lucky leo

What a beautiful performance from Vanessa Ferrari!!

[zetinoj.d.]

The confidence she had in her training to not doubt herself after the disaster the previous night is outstanding. You're an Olympic champ Jade.

Imagine not doing well on an event you thought you were best at the day before (vault), yet winning gold on another event the next day. Jade Carey’s mental is as strong as her muscles 😂❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[biumailunga]

Vanessa's performance was absolutely amazing. I loved it

[anggrekbulan]

I like how Jade Carey is very supportive towards her competitors. Good sportmanship here.

Listy and Gadirova sisters have such a great energy, I hope they win individual titles in the future

[janeokeke]

I’ve always known Jade have a floor routine that is medal worthy but she is always having issues with her landings. On this day, she delivered when it truly matters. After what happened to her during vault, I say this is the gold medal that brought me to tears while watching most of the sports in Tokyo 2020

I pray that Listunova will do great on Paris 2024. She is too young here, just like Melnikova was on Rio 2016.
She is beautiful to watch. What a great ballet technique, expression, hands and everything else.
She has also grown and gained weight very quickly since the Europeans, what surely have caused her some difficulties.
I just love her. A lot.

[evawertz]

Murakami Mai was absolutely beautiful & I loved how she used the entire floor. A true performer that makes it entertaining for the audience and the judges, just absolutely breathtaking.
