Floor Exercise

Combining tumbling and dancing in gymnastics presents a unique challenge, as one misstep can result in injury and a disappointing scorecard. A young gymnast from Kazakhstan learned this harsh lesson firsthand.

During her floor exercise at the 2012 Olympics, Moldir Azimbay suffered a substantial fall. Thankfully, she avoided any serious injury, but her chances of securing a medal eluded her that day. Nevertheless, the setback provided an opportunity for redemption in the future.
