Gymnasts have up to 90 seconds to perform a combination of acrobatic skills, jumps, turns and dance movements. A noise sounds after 1 minute and 20 seconds indicating to the gymnast that they only have 10 seconds left to complete their routine. Floor exercises are executed on a 12m x 12m sprung floor. The surface lies on a special wooden underlay, which provides both spring and absorption for take-offs and landings.
