The woman at the end was so rude lol. She is an olympic athlete. The last thing she does in her life is give up. She was talking about Simone, who is one of the best athletes the planet has ever seen. It's perfectly okay (and healthy) to acknowledge and accept that you can't be the best in the world. Not to accept failure, but to accept yourself.
You need to push for first in your training. But the day or even the week of the competition, she's right, you want to concentrate on being the best version of yourself.
y'all, Simone biles is the Michael Phelps to Gymnastics. the elite, top of the top. honor to whom honor deserves
holypicklesmofo well she's not lying. She'll always be second with that attitude
The 'woman' is Laila Effing Ali. Id go as far as to say she knows what she's talking about.
The thing is Aly has been coming to the end of her career for a minute now. Simone is younger, stronger, and by all accounts the best female gymnast the world has ever seen. She gave it her all and it wasn't enough. She physically couldn't do things Simone could. I think accepting that was probably really tough for her but a wise and mature thing to do. And then someone tells her it was the equivalent to giving up? nah
I hope someone reminded Laila that the young lady she was condescending toward is a 6 time Olympic medalist spanning two different games. She needs no advice on how to be a winner.
Gail A. ....
take a look at all the other comments Gail
she was being very condescending, people.
joyfuljaj
Is she now a gold medalist?? :D
You acknowledge that gymnastics is different from boxing, but you don't understand why that makes Laila's comment ill-informed. It's not a matter of Aly vs Simone or Aly's belief in herself. It's that based on their routines, it's mathematically impossible for Aly to overtake Simone without Simone messing up. There's nothing Aly herself can do about it.
I get what Laila was trying to say as a general but unless you KNOW GYMNASTICS and you KNOW SIMONE Biles and her capabilities and you KNOW the gymnastics judging system with the code of points, mathematically Simone could have fell twice and still would have won. She's unbeatable.
Well yeah, losing a full point in an event final is going to cost you a gold medal. But Simone was so good that even with a fall, she would've gotten silver over Amy Tinkler. On freaking floor exercise.Her floor scores were so high that she could afford a bad day and still make the podium, whereas everyone else had to have the routine of their lives to get there lol In comparison, if Aly had had a fall in 2012, she would've finished off the podium. Simone came into Rio as the 3-time reigning world champion on floor. There's literally no way Aly would have won outright if they both had hit routines and that's the issue with what Laila said. She made it sound like Aly could win if she put her mind to it or something lol Laila better ask about Simone.
Thank you for putting into words exactly what I was thinking. :-)
UniquelyMade yeah the thing with her routine is because she is so much smaller, lighter, and younger than Ally and she also had a much more difficult routine because of those factors so her overall routine put her an entire point ahead of everyone else doing floor because of the difficulty and the precision which she did those skills with and as anyone who know in gymnastics having a point advantage is a huge deal.
In the all arounds at the Olympics that is the closest anyone has ever come to beating Simone on a National or Internal level. Simone is also on the cusp of a new age in gymnastics where new skills will be added which will add greatly to the difficulty of these routines.
Sally Vee I understand that but Simone had enough leyway with her level of difficulty that she could have the minor mishaps. Simone has not lost floor or all around since 2013 I believe. Also Ally could have upped her difficulty and been on par with Simon but keeping her legs together in her tuck out of her double Arabian but she and her coach have aid herself she cannot do that without serious risk if I hurt to herself. So Aly works with the skills she has and refined them until they are practically perfect and honestly with her routine and what that was worth she almost had a perfect score from her end of things. It just ended up that Simone's higher level of difficulty won out. The only way Simon could have lost if if she didn't sick her landings(fell), went out of bounds, or had her legs separated durring her flips and turns. Now Simon only won the all around by 2.198 points which is the closet anyone has ever come to beating her in big competition like that. To put it in the words of this great article I had saved "On Thursday, her maximum possible score was 65.9, compared with her teammate Aly Raisman’s 65.2 and eventual bronze medalist Aliya Mustafina’s 64.4. To jeopardize her first-place finish in the all-around, Biles would have needed to mess up spectacularly-multiple times."
Ally only lost a total of 4.202 which is astounding. While Simone lost 3.702. So she lost 1 and a half more pints than Simone, and Simone still had 2 points to spare. That's a huge gap in gymnastics but honestly both those girls were so much higher in difficulty than every other girl they would have had to fall in every event not to medal.
Also Ally is the second most decorated Olympic gymnastics ever, behind Shannon Miller, and that is so much more than any gymnast could ever dream for. Also Ally was the team captain so it was basically her job to encourage and hype the girls up and tell them they were gonna win as much as she told herself. Overall I'm really impressed with her and I hope to see them come back next Olympics. I hope to see Ally do one more challenging element on beam and I'd like to see Simone be more consistent on beam.
Yeah, Laila was oversimplifying Aly's attitude as being defeatist. Simone is one of the best gymnasts in history and put together one of the most stunning runs between 2013-2016. She was light years ahead of the field and forced everyone to come chase her. Even when she wasn't perfect, she'd still beat the field by a mile. There's something to be said about an athlete who is truly special and leaps past everyone else--that's what Simone did. Not all that different from someone like Michael Phelps or Tiger Woods or Michael Jordan, etc. It's not a knock on Aly or anyone else. Aly accomplished so much more than I think I lot of people thought she could. She was never considered a strong all-around athlete and yet, she barely missed an AA medal in London, then came back and won silver in Rio. She defied expectations in so many ways. That she couldn't catch up to Simone had nothing to do with Aly's attitude or lack of belief that she could, in my opinion. And I think Aly's mom's advice was right on point--to be the best you you can be. That's all you can ask for. Not only did that serve her well in gymnastics but it's a great perspective to have in life in general.
Aly had already won a gold, and she had the right idea by being humble and accepting the situation. Laila seemed very condescending, to me, here. I think it's actually quite nice to acknowledge when someone just has "it" a little bit better than you do in that particular place and moment. It's cool. It doesn't make you less, it doesn't make you worse, it's just an acknowledgement of the moment. Go, Aly!
I watched this on Netflix and was put off by Laila's comment. It really wasn't needed and Aly was answering a question about not being catty in sports. Aly knew she probably wouldn't win floor and instead of being mad and jealous of her friend Simone, she did the best she could do and in the end, that's all that matters. It's not like she gave up and stopped trying to win. Laila's comment is making it seem like Aly doesn't push herself as hard because she knew SImone was going to win. It's not like Aly stop trying, so the whole, "it'll always be that way" comment was unnecessary.
I didn't like the way they (including Chelsea) were talking to Aly at all. Vey condescending.
Yeah, I think it was an age thing maybe?
For sure.
Just pure ignorance on Laila's part. She has no idea about gymnastics and the scoring system i.e. D score etc.
I was kinda annoyed by Laila this whole interview. I feel like Russell and Kurt were asking her questions like an adult, like "why did you feel that way," while Laila was being condescending, but I guess she has a boxer's attitude so that's why she has that personality. Laila was the same on WifeSwap.
They were rude AF to Aly. Damn!!
it was a Joke. its not like she just finished losing where she could be emotional. everyone online is sensitive
Damn Laila Ali, she just speaking SPECIFICALLY about the "Olympics". Aly was just honest to herself at that time about Simone being better. Point, blank period. I don't feel Aly has a self defeat attitude all the time.
Exactly, also it annoys me that they keep interrupting her at the end....let the girl speak
Hour is I get what Laila was trying to say as a general but unless you KNOW GYMNASTICS and you KNOW SIMONE Biles and her capabilities and you KNOW the gymnastics judging system with the code of points, mathematically Simone could have fell twice and still would have won. She was mathematically unbeatable.
UniquelyMade exactly!!! Simone is fucking unbeatable on everything except for bars. Ali would've driven herself crazy if she didn't accept that.
She woke up the day of the contest and realistically told herself that she'd get second. Aly never said she didn't push for first. She actually says she was frustrated getting second to her, which would mean she pushed to get first.
Hour is She did win and came in second there is nothing wrong with wanting to just place and get a medal rather it be number Gold silver or bronze. Im sure she wanted and worked hard for Gold but knew that she would more than likely get silver and there is nothing wrong with that.
I re-watched the last bit just to make sure I didn't mishear Laila. Was so taken aback by her self-righteous, condescending and ignorant comment. Aly's attitude towards Simone shows how big a heart she has
Does she realize she is talking to a young woman who has 6 Olympic medals, 3 being gold!? Who is she to criticize one of the greatest gymnasts of all time? Simone's routine has a higher base score because she is literally super human. Being second to Simone Biles is winning. These girls love and support each other and she needs to understand that. Life is about more than winning.
jonathanBLOGS exactly !! Simone is 4’8 the gymnastics prototype body she is super human also Simone is younger . Everyone knows you usually don’t make it to two olympics but Aly did so shut it Laila
@@serenajackson7594 height & age has nothing to do with it .. its just athleticism difference
Ali is undefeated in her sport, Aly is a Quitter,
Laila is an undefeated champion. Understand how she grew up. Her father is Mohammed Ali. The mindset is not to go into any match thinking second place, not Olympics or any match. The mindset is to win. You may fall short but you go to win. Elite athletes talk about this all the time. Aly revealed that her mindset was that she would be second and Simone first.That played out.
Simone does high degree of difficulty and we tend to say super human , but she didn't start that way. She pushed herself to get there.
I feel like that we're treating her like a child!! Hello she's an Olympic athlete, and she doesn't need your advice MOM!!
Annie Carbajal right! she's not a child. That is what I hate about some adults is that no matter what age you are you'll always be treated as a child bc the grown ups want to act like know it alls 😑
So laila being number 1 in what she did should just sit there smile and say nothing and be as complacent as you.
AxleProse exactly because she's so ignorant about the topic
AxleProse let’s be real she’s number one in female boxing lol. That’s barely a sport.
@@Mel__21 Everyone should be humble enough to take advice. You never get to an age where you no longer need advice.
Apparently Layla has never heard of Simone Biles. She's literally the best gymnast of all time. Unless Simone messes up the only thing she will lose is Uneven Bars. Aly is a fantastic gymnast and one of the best but even she knew she wasn't the GOAT. Props to her.
ali is the GOAT of boxing its not ideal to say stuff like that in front of the female boxing GOAT perhaps put her in room with biles instead
As long as your a class act like Aly you will be a champion no matter what!!
Landry Hammond- she’s no class act, LOL
She's the only class act in this video.
You need to push for first in your training. But the day or even the week of the competition, she's right, you want to concentrate on being the best version of yourself.
Aly Raisman is an inspiration.
I love Aly 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌸
met her once, she‘s such a lovely and a true inspiration. 🙏
I like that their giving advice to an Olympian who is a two time gold medallist about winning
Simone Biles is the best there has ever been in the sport. She is phenomenal. Aly is a clutch competitor. Think London and Aly's performance in the floor to seal the Team All Around title for the U.S. Laila probably is not aware of Aly's competitive spirit or Olympic history. One aspect of sports is that sooner or later another athlete comes along that is simply just better than the best.
Jeffery Montoya
Exactly, like how Laila never fought Wolfe--because I imagine she thought she'd lose. 🤷🏽♂️
The comment at the end was incredibly rude. Aly came back and was the best she had been in her career, Simone remained undefeated for 3 years and she could ultimately of fallen 2 times and still won. Aly went in there to claim the medal that was taken from her in 2012, she didn't care what placement she wanted to regain the title that was taken from her in a tie breaker. Yes the comment was true but she devoted her entire life for that meet and until you've walked a mile in her shoes and you fully understand the sport of gymnastics then you will realize her way of thinking about the meet. She is truly a remarkable athlete who I've come to meet a couple times and she's one of the most positive and encouraging people out there. That comment was unnecessary.
Aly is already a gold medalist on floor. No matter what the results, both Aly and Simone are great gymnasts and a pleasure to watch!
I watched this clip a few hours ago, and had to come back because I’m still shocked by how disrespectful Laila was to Aly! You can’t just grit your way to a win in gymnastics the same way you could in a fight….I guess all I can do is use this as a teachable moment for myself: lift others up instead of trying to tear them down, or else you’ll come off as rude, immature, disrespectful, and ignorant.
The only way to beat Simone Biles is if Simone Biles makes a mistake. Hence, why Simone got bronze on beam and not gold on beam. No one competing was better than Simone. Simone had won every single floor event final she had entered since 2013. If Aly had raised her start value, she might have had a chance, but she physically couldn't or she would have risked injury. No one else can do the difficulty level Simone did. So your only chance is second or risk your life. Most people aren't going to risk their life so they HAVE to settle for second which when you are going against the GOAT, you're still winning.
Crystal that is exactly it. Ms. Biles start value is higher then Ms. Raisman as she does harder elements. The only way that Aly could have beat her is if Simone had made a huge mistake. But like you said is it worth permanent injury to get that gold? While I understand how Mrs. Ali's statement could be off putting it was only to say that you can only do you and not worry about others and be happy with going out and giving your best routine.
Haha....I LOVE Aly Raismen to death! But I like how you worded this situation about if she had pushed herself harder she might've suffered an injury and a risk to her life.
When you said that, and given that Simone was just in another world altogether, it really put into focus, GENES!
I hate to sound like a racist or like a sore-loser because like I said, I LOVE Aly Raismen. But she is a White woman. She lacks the genes to truly top greatness at the level Simone did.
It's like that in any major sports of Black Men and White Men. Be it basketball, football, MMA, Boxing etc. The Black Man performs at a level the ordinary Whiteboy will never be able to duplicate. But whatever greatness the Whiteboy acheived, the Black Man can easily topple that and go beyond.
Its all in the GENES, really. To be Black is to be dominant in those aspect of the Black genes. To be White is to be ordinary or average with some instances of performing rare feats you normally see in Black Men. But it's never common with Whites.
They have a weaker genetic....kinda inferior to the level of genetics by Blacks. And that certainly was the case between Aly and Simone. Aly was at her very, very best for a White girl and Simone had her performance looking pretty ordinary but good.
You can't topple the Black Genes. There is none like us as Humans. We are the first Mankind. They (Whites/Caucasians) came later as an abnormal offspring out of us. An inferior, recessive gene stock but still Human and capable to be "like" us.
Malik B although its true that black ppl are usually stronger, i wouldnt say it makes us dominant. White people usually have better coordination so theyre better at ballet ice skating or swimming. Everyone has their strenghts and weaknesses.
That is disrespectful of them to make those comments. They are undermining her opinion because she is younger. She did not mean that she felt inferior to Biles at all. She is an adult and ahem, Olympian champion, who understands her capabilities and limits and CHOOSES to take the high road by letting go of her EGO and ACCEPT that you can’t always win it all. She is not perfect, and she will not always win against her competitors. If she instead would have kept putting herself down and be obsessed to beat Biles, then that would have been worse for her and the team.It takes real courage to be a good team player.
That women made me so angry!!! Aly is the gymnast with the best mindset I've ever seen. Instead of breaking because she couldn't archive the gold she simply competed with herself to be the best she could. For an olympic athlete it's super hard to make peace with that situation. What about you get to know first the gymnastics world and judge after? This people who think they know everything...
dont say stuff like that in front of an ali, especially the GOAT female undefeated almost all knockout boxer for usa also a legacy
No, Laila... you don't understand... the reason Aly said she knew Simone would win wasn't because she was giving up, it's because Simone is literally the greatest gymnast of all time and Floor is what she's best at. Aly really didn't have a shot. It would've taken Simone making a huge mistake (which was very unlikely to happen since Simone is one of the most consistent gymnasts I have ever seen) for Aly to have beaten Simone.
I understand Laila's point but if you understand gymnastics, you know her point is really far fetched from Aly's situation.
It's obvious that Kurt Warner, Russle Wilson, and Laila Ali know nothing about gymnastics. It's not like if Aly believed in herself more she would've won. Simone could've fell on her butt and still probably came out on top, she's just that dominant.
it's so great to hear someone so great saying its okay to be second. that may not apply to every situations but sometimes we just have to accept that there's always going to be someone better than us. and beating ourselves down for that is a complete waste of time. thanks aly!
Much like in figure skating, not everyone understands how the sport works. Aly is brilliant and a champion..... she knew both her and Simone would be perfect.... and knew that meant she would finish 2nd. Nothing wrong with that ❤
Easy for Ali to make a snarky comment when she knows nothing about the sport of gymnastics and how it operates.
Thang Vuong do you mean laila ali
luna gonzalez Yes, thank you , I'll make the correction
Thang Vuong no problem
I also liked what Aly said it shows that she's confident and has a good head on her shoulders to be able to realise that takes great strength. the two people sitting to the right were rude in my opinion.
She won the best she could. If she had not accepted that, then she would been twisted in her head. Unlike Laila, she was not spoon fed opponents she could beat. Boxing might as well be WWA...because it is a huge spoof on reality. I love Laila, but she fell several points with that comment. I love Simone. She is otherworldly. But Aly is my all-around champ...hell, she beat the All-Around champ 4 years later with a silver...that is not an easy feat. The reason people do not do their best, is because they are stuck on beating someone else. What was she supposed to do...pull a Tonya Harding and try to dismantle the competition through cheat?
SParkApCider my thoughts exactly x
The title is weird, but it's true. Aly is a legend in her own right and the fact that they were so supportive of each other allowed them to win.
so glad everyone else noticed the extremely unnecessary comment from Laila about Aly.............AND Aly has won many GOLD medals. The details page of this video has it twisted
She was talking about accepting the fact she knew she was going to get 2nd at the Olympics and being ok with the fact of not being the “winner” in a sport. NO WHERE DID SHE SAY IN LIFE outside of gymnastics. Some of these people are so stupid
No, she is the BEST version of herself, and no one can beat that NO ONE. and she is not second, she is just DIFFERENT.
well glad she accepted Simone is super human. she is a marvel to watch and very cheerful too. but really coming second to simone is like being the 1st. well done
At the end of the day there will always be someone better than you at something... this year you might be number 1 next year you might not be. I think being honest about your current skill set in a particular situation is more helpful than being cocky and arrogant.
unless your name is michael phelps
Leila has a a valid point... however, she doesn’t know gymnastics and doesn’t understand how Difficulty and execution scores work. In that floor final... Aly literally did a perfect routine. But she doesn’t have the Same difficult skills as Simone. The only way to beat someone in gymnastics is by having harder skills compared to the rest or by the competitors falling. It’s not like other sports where you can knock someone out or serve faster, score more points. It’s a very common misunderstanding of gymnastics.
Learning how to loose is an essential part of learning how to win.
They have NO CLUE what they're talking about! In Aly's situation, she handled it the best way she could have. Everybody knew that Simone Biles was going to win Floor Exercise. I honestly think it takes a great deal of maturity to come to terms with that, accept it, and still go out there and compete your butt off! Aly is humble, and they aren't! Winning isn't everything all the time. They really need to shut up.
Simone is just probably the best of all time . Aly was close behind her I'm sure she sees that as a W. She's an amazing athlete she has nothing to be ashamed of
Silver behind Simone is like gold 🥇
That lady at the end really annoyed me. We are talking about Simone bikes here. Everybody thought she was going to win. She is literally and gymnastics goddess. Everybody other country hoped she would fall so they have a chance, but aly is not going to hope her best friend forever falls. At this point it was. Race for the silver and aly knew that. The WHOLE world knew that.
Alright I understand the mentality of not giving up no matter what, and refusing defeat, and whatever, but I think Aly's mentality here was not only appropriate, but necessary! Thinkng otherwise could have easily been psycologically destructive (always trying your hardest, putting in the work, etc. but receiving the same result over and over, and for YEARS) and bad for the team. It isn't the case that she stopped trying, but rather that she started trying to be her best self rather than to prove something to people.
I get that in a sport like wrestling, racing, or swimming something like what Laila says rings true. But for gymnastics...Simone was a superhuman and no one could beat her. The way that gymnastics works is so that if you have the difficulty and level of execution someone like Simone has across the board...you are untouchable even with a fall. Also there aint nothing wrong with winning a silver
Not true. At the 2015 world championship. Simone still won the gold with a terrible beam and stepped out on the floor. This girl is untouchable. She hasn’t lost a competition in almost 5 years. If aly had a chance Simone needed to fall multiples times(which Simone never does)
Even if she thought it’s true it’s not her place to say that to an Olympic athlete as if getting gold isn’t on her mind every single day of her life.
Wow. This was a lesson in narcissists speaking to a sane person. Laila Ali, for as talented as she may be, is only in her sport due to her father's accomplishments and his genes. She also had a much longer period of time to accomplish her potential dreams for her own sport AND she was never dealing with the level of competition that a gymnast deals with. Millions of girls enter gymnastics by the age of 3 or 4 years old (in the US alone, we're not even talking about the international competition). The competition is ten times what a female boxer will ever see in their lifetime. Boxing is a field in which barely any women or girls have interest to pursue professionally. Laila waited to be 18 to begin training and to the age of 22 to box publicly against barely equipped novices. She doesn't have a clue what it would take to compete in a sport in which a third of the female population of her time has at some point or another attempted to compete.
Gymnastics like any sport is about the genes we're born with plus the financial investment one is able to make in one's training. 🤷🏾♀️
Laila can take a whole back seat to Aly.
Aly started training at 18 months old.
18 months, not 18 years.
Don't question her resolve or her ability to compete. She was at the Olympics at 18, the same age Laila finally figured out what she wanted to do with her life. Please.
Not to mention she accomplished all that whilst being in a horrendously abusive organization (USA gymnastics).
So, I just don't see how Laila felt she had a right to speak on any of this. She can stfu.
Olympic champion.
Simone could have lost to Aly in the floor final but she would have had to make a mistake. Laila was not understanding how gymnastics is different from boxing.
That end comment was so annoying!!! She obviously knows nothing about the sport or Simone or aly. There is NOTHING Aly could have done differently. She did her best and set such a good exabplev
Come on, while attitude is important it can not overcome reality and same team anyway.
I don't think any of these people know how hard it is to win in the Olympics or World Championship. You have to qualify & in order to do so you have to be 1 of the 3 top gymnasts from your country.
Nothing against Simone Biles, but Aly Raisman is my favorite gymnast! She should keep doing gymnastics! She's amazing!
Laila must not know about gymnastics because Simone could've won even if she fell on her face. Point wise, aly only could've only won first if she did absolutely perfect and Simone massively messed up. Which is something Simone never does. I mean it COULD have happened- that's why aly said she had to be the best she could be and that's it. But it's ok to acknowledge that Simone is a super human compared to everyone because it's true.
I felt like they were being very condescending towards her.
None of these athletes are GOATS. and they clearly dont understand simone is one of the greatest athletes of all time. They are just ignorant to that fact. Except russel...he is a sweetheart
Laila Ali must have misunderstood what Aly was saying. She must not watch or know who Simone Biles is and what her capabilities are
Simone is undoubtedly the GOAT when it comes to women's gymnastics. Even on vault and tumbling passes she goes higher/better than some of the men. Laila Ali was being a little disrespectful and ignorant of Aly's sport.
I watched this whole episode when it came out all because of Aly. I was mad after watching it by the way they were questioning her about coming in second. Well this clip popped into my feed and now I'm mad all over after! Geez
LOL I love how these ppl are judging her in stuff they know nothing about. She has been to two Olympic games and won multiple medals at both and they are trying to tell her how to win? The F? Idk I just thought that was kinda disrespectful and rude
Great show for men too, and been Subscribed.
(This is just an example) if I was competing and the best trick I had was a cartwheel and my competitors best trick was 3 cart wheels, of course I know I’m going to NOT win. Doesn’t mean I’m not gonna try. Same can be said for Aly, realistically she knew she wasn’t going to beat Simone, there’s nothing wrong with that. She still gave it her very best and beat everyone else for that silver!
Hate the comment at the end, Ali was mature enough to say on their best days, Simone was beating her in competition, as if that implies Ali wasn’t giving it her all every time they competed against each other. UGH.
hey...as a musician i know when another is better than i...but we still love and respect and work with each other...thank...love...
that woman at the end had clearly no idea
A large part of gymnastics judging is based on difficultly of the routine. Simone's level of difficulty in her routines were much higher than anyone else's, hence Aly saying she knew she was going to second (unless Simone fell on her face). She's already a champion, you think she doesn't know how to work as hard as she possibly can? Laila Ali was being a pretentious asshole. As if she has the right to speak, she spent half her career ducking the top female fighters and cherry picked her opponents for easy wins.
I love Chelsea’s response and I hated Laila. There was no way she could beat Simone but Simone did push her to do her best. She would have never added and successful done that first pass had she not
0:49 Now I understand why she quit her gymnast career because of the Madman, Lawrence Nasser haunting other athletes
They were rude as hell to her and spoke over
What episode is this
If you can't land a 900 and the other opponent consistently can.
I get where ALY is coming from.
What episode is this???
Is there anymore footage of the rest of her side of the dinner?
I knew something was going to come up again about this. And some like that last woman (who was being rude) to sit there and say oh but you can't think like that it sounds like you're giving up. Aly knew her competition very well. she tried her very best and got second. That's what happened that day between her and Simone. There's always going to be someone better then you and that's perfectly okay. I think that is what Aly was trying to say and what others should remember.
Laila is tough. But, basketball players concede to players deemed better all the time. Venus does to Serena. Salieri had to concede to Mozart. There's no reason why you can't go out and compete, but if someone was born with a tremendous amount of natural talent, there's nothing that can be done about it, unless there's an opportunity where they stop working as hard.
Haha yes, coming second to Simone is like coming first
In Rio, Biles’s routine started from a 6.9D score while Raisman’s was a 6.6. In general, I get Layla’s point, but she clearly knows nothing about gymnastics and how complicated the judging process is. For Aly to have won, she needed Simone to fall or she would have needed to upgrade to an equal D-score and even then, Simone’s execution score was higher (a 6.9+9.066 vs. Aly’s 6.6+8.900, which was typically due to her form). It was sweet for Aly to acknowledge how tremendous Simone was and to accept w/o a mistake from Biles, she would have to be happy with 2nd. We love you Aly!
Winning a silver gold medal is HUGE. Just saying. HUGE.
ALY IS SO F_ING GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately, Laila was speaking out of ignorance. Gymnastics and boxing are to completely different sports (yes, they're both sports no matter how hard some people may try to argue otherwise). For starters, gymnastics is totally dependent on the judges. If someone like Simone Biles hits all her points with no mistakes it would be mathematically impossible for Aly to match or beat her since Simone's short, more compact body will always give her the advantage as long as she stays healthy which she has so far.
Is Chelsea still on regular TV?
Is it me or they haven't put any shows up
That last comment was rude af.
Laila is trying to say that yeah if you keep telling yourself you're going to be second and you're okay with that, you're always going to be second. It might have came off rude but she wasn't trying to be rude or condescending. I can definitely see where she's coming from.
Lol, the lady at the end was brutal. And she missed the point.
This video upsets me so much. Gymnastics is not like any other sport you can’t score more points that day and simply when. Every single sequence, turn, and element has already been calculated prior to you competing. When you understand that, you’ve trained your entire life, and you make a come back to the Olympics then you can give an opinion
So many say that Simone is super human. She is a human with a natural gift and an intense love of the sport. Pls remember, she was initially in the foster care system. Had she not been "discovered" during a field trip, we would not be seeing this phenomenal woman. The kicker is how many others are out there with similar skill but do not have the same opportunity to train and compete? Regarding Aly, if memory serves me correctly, she was somewhat nasty to Gabrielle Douglas. Karma is indeed funny and fickle. Had Simone been a lesser athlete than Aly, she (Aly) most definitely would not have sought out her (Simon's) friendship.
“Being the best version of herself” got Aly 6 Olympic medals 3 of which are gold so i dont know what Laila is even trying to say 😂😂
I thought that Laila meant that it would always be OK as long as she thought that way. Not that she would always remain in second place. Maybe that's just me though...
her mom was right. it was mathematically impossible for her to win gold, but if she had been focused on simone instead of herself, that’s exactly the kind of distraction that could have cost her silver.
I recognize the magnificence of Simone but she didn't start out that way and she pushed herself to train routines with higher degrees of difficulty because she wanted to be the best. She didn't want second place.
Gymnastics is different both Aly and Simmons are amazing gymnasts but Aly is at a disadvantage from the beginning, due to technicalities and her start value, it's like two great fighters going against each other but one of has a broken hand, the one with the disadvantage will come 2nd
Laila worries me here - not because of what she says but the level of underlying anger she brings to it reflecting her desperate personal need to be heard in that company. She probably has no idea how she sounded. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, listen to anyone who says anything in that tone! They never mean well - it's more about them and their ego than them wanting to help.
I do not understand the accent of Laila Ali. Exactly what she was telling to Ms. Raisman? Can anyone tell it please?
Chelsea is dissin' Kurt Warner. Jeeze.
Let this dayum girl accept being 2nd in any way she needs to.
Ali!! Hey! Thank god you are yourself! Coolness
Even the title is so awkward
Aly is a very, very talented world class athlete. It takes great humility to acknowledge when a colleague is better. Let’s be honest though, in athletics being better is often marginal, like tenths of a point. I don’t think those women are qualified to argue, or offer advice.
They’re talking more condescending to her than they would a five year old who won a tee ball game. Even if it is second, it’s second in the entire world. Um, she was chosen by the USA Gymnastics to be the team captain where they won gold. I’m sure she’s gotten media training by USAG too so she’s just saying what they told her to say. Rude all around.
I really don’t like when people try to give advice on things they have no idea about lol
No one has the right to tell her to work harder. These gymnasts were already pushing themselves beyond what was healthy to be best and to appease their abusive coaches.
