These are all so heartbreaking. Bross’s injury was so bad and hard to watch. Thanks for this though, it’s good to have all of these in one video. Aliyas vault was so good til that landing. Imagine if Ellie actually tried that 2nd vault. So glad she stopped.
@@angelabordack As someone who has had the same knee injury and required major surgery afterwords, I canNOT watch that. As soon as I saw her name pop up in the video, I had to fast forward. I saw it when it originally happened, and brought back horrible memories for me. Nope, nope, nope nope!
It just shows how much of a beating the body- knees in particular- takes on vault… or any event in gymnastics. It’s a shame as many of these ended the athletes shot at the Olympics.
2:54 That's Larry Nassar there on the left! At 3:15 his name can be seen on the accreditation badge. So she was not getting the best care there, more the opposite!
Yall say anything. Gymnasts were dying from Injuries during your time. Safety has improved significantly. Gymnasts are encouraged to be muscular instead of fragile and thin like before
@@leelab8307 Team Romania would also like a word. Pushing the limits in elite gymnastics was ALWAYS a thing. Yes if you look at gymnastics from 1970-2024 it looks like a big jump, but it’s just been a slow progression. Also if anything, gymnastics is getting way safer, with abuse being called out(still pretty bad though), and athletes not being pushed to peak early, so we are seeing way more gymnasts in their 20’s and 30’s.
And I wanted nothing more than to become a gymnast when I was small, however childhood circumstances didn't allow this. Godbless all those got injured during this video.
I was in Gym when I was very very young until about 11 bc I got so tall. I still struggle with bad bones and back from years of backflips and falls breaking bones.
Gymnastics isn't like most sports. The peak years are much younger and also a smaller window. When your young, your body can tolerate more, then when your older in gymnastics
No.. that's not the solution...these girls start two years old...the older you get the harder it is your body..that's why alot gymnasts retire at 20-21yrs old..though we are on an upswing age wise presently...But Simone is the exception to alot rules
I wondered about that too. At the Olympics in Sydney all the gymnasts were getting hurt because the vault was set 5cm too low. I think that might be what's happening here.
All of them continued their careers. Riley McCusker: Injury occurred at 2021 Winter Cup. She went on to compete at the US national championships and Olympic trials that same year on uneven bars only, with some feeling her work was strong enough that she should have made the team. She currently is competing at the University of Florida with two years of eligibility remaining. However, she has not competed vault nor floor since this injury and missed the 2024 NCAA season with injury. Aliya Mustafina: Injury occurred at the 2011 European Championships All-Around Final. She went on to have one of the most storied gymnastics careers in the sports history. She competed at the 2012 Olympic Games only a year later where she became the most decorated gymnast of the competition, leaving with a gold on uneven bars, silver in the team and two bronze medals in the all-around and on floor. She repeated all but her floor medal at the Olympics in Rio four years after that in addition to a multitude of medals won in 2013-2018, including winning the world title on beam in 2013. She retired in 2020 and is currently coaching the Russian junior national team. Rebecca Bross: Injury occurred at the 2011 national championships. She returned a year later, competing at the 2012 national championships and Olympic trials on bars and beam. She hit 3/4 of her bars routines and was a bit shaky on beam. She did not compete vault or floor after her injury and retired shortly after missing the Olympic team. I think she’s currently a nurse though someone can correct me if I’m wrong. Ellie Black: Injury occurred at the 2012 Olympic Games. She’s competed every single year since then and is the best gymnast Canada has ever produced. She has three world championship medals (the most for a Canadian gymnast) including a silver in the all-around in 2017 (best finish by a Canadian to date) and placed 5th in the all-around in Rio and 4th in the balance beam in Tokyo. She made several individual finals at the world championships last Autumn and is guaranteed a spot on this summer’s Olympic team assuming she remains healthy. Asia D’Amato: Injury occurred at the 2022 European Championships. She’s competed in both 2023 and 2024, but both seasons have been cut short to ACL tears, at a World Cup in 2023 and just recently at the European championships this year.
While l love gymnastics, it's barbaric what what they force these kids to push through, & tne pressure that's put on them. One comment made in this video " She's so good at this, but those ankles..." All their coaches care about is the win, & that's how they teach these kids to think. Winning & perfection. Get a grip adults.
What they put their young bodies through is hideous. The strain on their joints, muscle, tendon,and ligament,is so great, most injuries will never be able to be fully healed. They have such a low level of body fat, they do not menstruate, their breasts do not develop normally, it is so very hard on their body!!!!

The “snap” was nasty sounding for Bross. Still freaks me out to listen to.

It was the mat that cracked.
@@carlsrosinasa8821it wasn’t it was her joint

The trauma on the hips, knees, and ankles for gymnasts is incredible. It's amazing there aren't many more injuries during competitions.
bless everyone that got injured😥😥😥
2:54 That's Larry Nassar there on the left! At 3:15 his name can be seen on the accreditation badge.

So sad
You see just how much work every single day these gymnasts put in to get to a high level. Then to have an injury set you back is just devastating.
I had to fast forward through Bross! I just can't! 😢
Even though I live in the US, I only wish for safe and fair routines. It doesn't matter what country an individual plays for either.
It is terrible and saddening when athletes get injured 😢
Why always say-Shuut? Let a person cry when injured.Why hush them up? It is surely painful damned.
exatly..they are not allowed to release their pain and pressure. it's their body, their pain and their right to express themselves and be human.
Also Keri Strug injured ankle at 1996 Olympic Games team final
Gosh I can just feel their pain when those gymnasts landed their vaults. 😭😢💔 I hope they’re all doing ok today.
These valults remind me of keri strugg in 1996 at the olympics. Its very hard to watch 😊
I was a gymnast in high school in 1972, compared to now the routines were safe and pushing your body as a growing teen was not encouraged.

Mukhina would have something to say about safety in the 70's .

Such a damaging sport for young athletes.

You could hear the bone crack with Rebecca
It was actually her knee, it dislocated :(
Poor mustafina. She was at her peak. Imagine what she could achieve in London
Она завоевала 4 медали. 1 золото, 1 серебро и 2 бронзы. Тоже неплохой набор, откуда нам знать как бы сложилось, не будь этой травмы.
@@TinySafi_STR she could’ve got gold on every event possibly
For Rebecca , I can even hear the crack 😢
Heartbreaking video😢😢😢
Not so fun fact. Asia D'Amato is injured again and she'll miss the Olympics 😢😢😢
Dang that was the end of Riley’s elite career right there. 😭
I forgot baby Ellie black got hurt in 2012.
The clapping never ends…👏🏻👏🏻
The heartbreaking 💔 😢 😞 😔 😪 😭 for the Vault of Gymnasts.
Would rather have no watched this, but kuddos to you for having the gumption to make this video
You... But you clicked it
@@ofyourbluesky haha, I'm subscribed
there were a lot of gymnasts missing from this video
Is what Ellie Black did on the second vault a scratch?
Pray for healing
Caiu...infelizmente...perdeu..
Was this from 2021?
These girls are too young to stress their joints to this level. Please limit Olympics to over 18 for all sports. Give these kids time to get grown.
I was in Gym when I was very very young until about 11 bc I got so tall. I still struggle with bad bones and back from years of backflips and falls breaking bones.
Except most gymnasts are under 21 so you’d be talking about massively limiting the sport
Many sports athletes can peak below 18
Gymnastics isn't like most sports. The peak years are much younger and also a smaller window. When your young, your body can tolerate more, then when your older in gymnastics
No.. that's not the solution...these girls start two years old...the older you get the harder it is your body..that's why alot gymnasts retire at 20-21yrs old..though we are on an upswing age wise presently...But Simone is the exception to alot rules
❤❤❤❤❤
Is that Larry Nassar working on Rebecca Bross?
Appears to be.
It sure is. IIRC, the same clip was shown in Athlete A.
Yes, you can see his name on the badge at 3:15
Vault was set too low. It happened before. The girls are tall. These accidents must stop.
Actually most gymnasts are small and light
I wondered about that too. At the Olympics in Sydney all the gymnasts were getting hurt because the vault was set 5cm too low. I think that might be what's happening here.
Yeah it happened before and then one girl didn't get to redo it but the other girls did
Did any of them continue their careers?
All of them continued their careers.
