The Best Beam Routines

All other apparatuses take a seat. Today is a beam day.

• We discuss what makes beam the best apparatus and the qualities consistent across history's greatest beam routines
• The best overall beam routines, starring Yang Bo, Li Li, Fan Ye, Tatiana Lysenko, Kui Yuanyuan, and Chen Cuiting
• Honors for excellence in specific fields of study, such as badassery, hands, spinning, ease, aggression, rhythm, and Kathy Johnson moans
• And finally, how do we make beam more like Yang Bo?
