Favorite Gymnastics Routine of all time?
Earlier today I asked our twitter follows to share their favorite gymnastics routine of all time and got a ton of great responses. For those who don't use twitter, I thought I'd post some of them here so you can see the most popular routines according to fellow members of the gymnastics community. 
 
Not surprisingly, nearly all of them were floor routines. The most abundant answer was Lilia Podkapayeva's 1996 Floor Routine. Here's a look back at the 1996 Olympic all around and floor Champion's routine from the Olympic event final:
