Summary/Abstract: One of the most attractive and dynamic devices in women's gymnastics is the floor exercises. The aim of the present study is to follow the compositional structure of the floor exercises routines of the eight finalists of the Tokyo Olympics 2020. The analysis of the routines of the eight finalists of the floor exercises shows that the competitors included in their combinations an average of 16,63 elements and largest number of exercises from the group A - average of 7.75, having priority acrobatics elements. Only the champion Carey Jade – USA, perform three super hard somersaults - 2 of group “H” and 1 of group „I”. The line graph of the compositional structure of the routines of floor exercises has a poly-peaks character, determined mainly by the difficult and ultra-difficult acrobatic elements used.
