Floor Exercise, Women

Date	6 – 9 September 1960 — 15:00
Status	Olympic
Location	Terme di Caracalla, Roma
Participants	124 from 27 countries

As with all apparatus formats in 1960, this was a new format, with the all-around competition serving as a qualifying round for the final, with the top six performers advancing to the final round, where they again performed a compulsory and optional exercise to determine final placements. As they did in the horse vault and the uneven bars, the Soviets swept the medals in this event, led by Larysa Latynina, with silver going to Polina Astakhova and bronze to Tamara Lyukhina. Latynina had shared the gold medal in 1956 and would win gold again at Tokyo in 1964, a rare three-peat of gold medals in an individual event. Astakhova would also repeat in Tokyo as the silver medalist.
