Floor Exercise, Women

Date	19 – 25 September 1988
Status	Olympic
Location	Che-yuk-gwan, Ol-lim-pik Gong-won, Seoul
Participants	90 from 23 countries

As in 1984 eight gymnasts qualified for the final round from the team qualifying, with no more than two gymnasts per team allowed to advance to the finals. The total score consisted of 50% of the team qualifying scores, and the final round score from an optional routine on the apparatus. Daniela Silivaş won the gold medal in this event rather easily with the highest score in the team qualifying and the final round. This gave her three gold medals in apparatus finals in Seoul after finishing second in the individual all-around. Silver went to Soviet Svetlana Boginskaya, who would later compete at the 1992 Olympics for the Unified Team and in 1996 for Belarus. The bronze medal was won by Bulgarian Diana Dudeva, the first Olympic gymnastics medal won by a Bulgarian woman, and through 2012, the only one.
