Mexican gymnastics Olympian Elsa Garcia Rodriguez Blancas performed her qualifying routine for the floor exercise to a medley of of Zelda songs arranged by Lindsay Sterling (of super-animated violin playing fame). Sadly, she took 35th place overall because there are no points rewarded for having the sweetest soundtrack. *throwing chairs* Jesus, what kind of Olympics are you people even running here?!

You can hit the jump for a ridiculously shitty version filmed off an even crappier TV as well and another video of the same routine performed earlier this year, or watch a decent version of the Olympic routine at Kotaku HERE (I recommend doing that).

Thanks to Joe Soap, who told me he was going to perform his floor routine to the theme from Gilligan's Island but sprained an ankle practicing and had to sit out.

  • I would really like to know when Elsa first heard of Lindsay's version, and if she's a big gamer or not.

    As a Mexican —and a gamer— her performance filled me with joy :)

    This is almost as good as a routine I saw where someone was horse vaulting to the opera song from 5th Element. <3

  • 45 seconds in is how I dance! lol

  • That was pretty neat.
    It takes me back to when I did gymnastics at school. I had to stop because I grew too tall and...have you ever noticed how most female gymnasts are fairly flat-chested?

  • Well I'm sure that if you'd managed to keep in gymnastics your mighty agnostic bosom would have suffered dearly, and all of us with them ;)

  • Bandaging them hurts.

  • Well, thank you, you're welcome. They are one of the reasons I'm not an Olympic gymnast.

  • kevin dijkshoorn

    What do you like more Star Trek or Star Wars?

    I'm more of a Doctor Who girl though.

  • kevin dijkshoorn
