I do know that the floors have springs in them-primarily for the safety of the athletes on their landings vs performance enhancing benefits. I'm sure there are those benefits as well.To what degree? Don't know.

Per [USER=67]@Kitaman[/USER]'s original post/comments- I was looking forward to Biles return and her performance(s). I find it quite amazing that someone 4'8'' can reach a running vertical measured at around 12'6''(telecast estimate last night) with or without floors with springs. As a matter of fact-The commentators last night referenced the Biles vertical of 12'6'' as compared to a LeBron James break away dunk where his vertical would have to be measured at 14'5'' to be the equivalent (with or without springy court) of hers. Their math-not mine. Maybe that's why quite a few of the NBA players participating in the Olympics were in the stands videotaping Biles floor exercise on their cell phones. (Curry/Holliday/Durant/James to name a few)

Looking forward to track and field in the next few days.
