About
The piked double Arabian remains among the rarefied floor tumbling elements, performed only by a select club of chosen specials, because of its thrilling combination of being super hard and not that well valued. When the Silivas is sitting there at H (0.8), most people aren’t bothering to learn the Dos Santos at F (0.6) unless it comes somewhat naturally.

This one was named after Daiane Dos Santos when she performed it en route to the world floor title at the 2003 World Championship in Anaheim. Dos Santos would go on to get the layout version named after herself in 2008, which became the Dos Santos II.
