breathing came felt floor guys hard lost lower muscles routine shaky small step stick strength stuck
I actually didn't think my floor routine was that good. It was pretty shaky to me but some other guys made some mistakes. I stuck most of my passes, a small step on my dismount. On rings, my strength was hard. I was breathing hard through the whole thing and I lost my lower back muscles it felt like during my handstands. I was able to stick my dismount and I came out with two first-place finishes.
