Gymastics floor exercise scores

NEW WAVERLY, Texas -- As we keep being told, scores from this afternoon's mini-competition aren't the be-all, end-all. Still, six judges are giving scores.

So here goes: Shawn Johnson got a 15.800, even though she went out of bounds. Mattie Larson was second with 15.400. It's too bad Larson isn't seasoned enough, because her pulsing, perky floor routine is a crowd pleaser.

Alicia Sacramone, Samantha Peszek and Bridget Sloan scored 15.300. Chelsea Davis had 15.150. Nastia Liukin and Corrie Lothrop had 15.100, and Ivana Hong had a 15.000.

Chellsie Memmel didn't get a score because she pulled up when she hurt her neck.
