There is a strong culture shift from the old regime to Chellsie/Alicia and Dan. Still have a lot of work to do but i am glad we are getting a better look into National Team Camps and how each young woman is thriving and growing
That selection committee is going to have a hard job picking for this up-and-coming Olympic team. So many talented gymnasts that are going to be trying for a spot on that team.
@@LoyaFrostwindprobably not, besides the 5 that went this year, the rest are just too inconsistent, but I agree that all the american girls are crazy talented and have a lot of international potential no matter who makes world and olympic teams
So heartwarming to hear how much, fun and support these amazing gymnasts have at the USA camp training now, hope that USAG ALWAYS remember that the gymnasts are people first and gymnasts second, their mental, emotional and physical health must always be top priority NOT medals, and in any case, if they're being so supported the medals will be won anyway as they are so incredibly talented. Congratulations to Chelsea and Alicia for developing this healthy environment 😊.
I love to hear the gymnasts’ perspective and also love that you didn’t shy away for asking them what they don’t like!! Awesome interviews and insight into what the camps look like for them!!
I'm so happy that betty chelsea and alicia are there helping these girls. Also, am I the only one noticing a Stark contrast to the feedback? The girls are giving about camp question mark if you go back several years those girls dreaded it. They were tortured and starved anwe're worked. These gymnasts looks so positive, healthy and grateful to be there. That's how it should be.
I love that it’s Betty O, A Sac, Chellsie… who are part of the coaching team. They’ve been through it at all themselves and truly understand what is needed and how to approach the girls and their needs.
So, does anyone else notice that Al Fong always manages to get into at least one shot whenever there's a camera around? He does this hard core at the national competitions. But I laughed when I saw him behind the Olympians at 4:43.
Ikr. I saw another video too. she was not doing the drills like the others. If she got tired she stopped and walked away.I guess she starting 2 believe her own hype. She is still the best tho. Miles ahead of everyone. But I wonder if she getting tired of it. 🤔
@@childadvocate8374 I'm glad she's not doing interviews. Anytime she gets a lot of press, her haters say she's hogging the spotlight (She's not). Then when she doesn't do interviews, these same people say that she's acting "above it all" or "believing her own hype". So I say good for her. Spend more time and focus on her training rather than doing fluff interviews about favorite drills to do. 🙂
Uhhh your opinion is objectively completely wrong. Simone has the skills and execution to outperform anyone everywhere except on bars. Even there she’s still top 8.
@@childadvocate8374 i mean i get her point she is doing this since decades and probably sees no reason why she has to prove she can do the basics i just wish she would show a bit more motivation, the others do it too
Chellsie Memmel and Alicia Sacramone are the head national coaches. Okino is also there as a coach (for dance and choreography) and probably some others as well.
@erinm9445 I love they are bringing Legends in at the national level. Always wondered why there wasn't many already at that level for training and coaching. You see it other sports, but with gymnastics (especially women gymnastics in the US), retirees are on the peripherals of the team. Someone more familiar with the process please explain why that was. I really think the sport will have less abuse if former Olympians are involved at National level.
its seems more relaxed not as in they dont care but not as strict the fact they can sit when they need to and just laugh and talk while they wait for their turn
She's there but she don't seem present if u know what I mean. I saw a vid on another channel. She was not doing the drills like the other girls, walking off etc.
I'm skeptical whenever gymnasts are asked questions about the coaches... the coaching should speak for itself. It just seems disingenuous. Of course the athletes are going to praise the coaches for a RUclips video.
If any of them were only there to see friends, they wouldn't be invited in the first place. And I wonder if they're neglecting their social media because they're training, like a competitor might do. That said, I can't think of any past Olympian who achieved competitive goals via social media, so maybe I misunderstood - feel free to clarify.
The little ones are so cute but, " I am here to see my friends" is why the old Olympians with bad form are getting the Olympic spots and they are staying home. There is no competitiveness. You have to want to win and have that drive and social media central just means none of them are making the Olympic team.
IMO they're probably extremely competitive. There's unfortunately a lot of pressure on them nowadays to act really positively and uncompetitive when doing these interviews. A result of sexism, but i digress
@@latent_memories I am not someone who likes to blame the women victim mentality game that everyone plays in 2024, but that is a great point. The men don't get told to pretend to be friends and I know for a fact certain gymnasts don't get along and watching them play nice for the camera is so fake.
@@SabrinaVoineaSStolenMedaland you know this how? Who actually said you are an expert at it cause you aren’t. Give up while you are ahead dude. You will never figure women out

Marta Karoly was an old ruthless witch.
That selection committee is going to have a hard job picking for this up-and-coming Olympic team. So many talented gymnasts that are going to be trying for a spot on that team.
Throw in Gabby Douglas and yea, this one will be interesting
oh thank god we've retired the "Thank you marta, coaches, national team staff, goodbye" chant at the end. "Go usa" is SO much better
AGREED
I wouldn't want to have to choose only 5. This is an amazing group of gymnasts.
Just getting on the US Team seems to be more difficult than earning an Olympic medal. We could field 2-3 strong international teams.
we need a Mag 7 team size again!

Nice to see variety of backgrounds.

Having so many former Olympians on staff at camp is such a refreshing change.
I LOVE that Chelsea is helping w the training camps! ❤❤❤ You all are going to do SPECTACULAR!
Chellsie doesn't just help with training camps, she and Alicia are the head coaches for USA Gymnastics!
CHELLSIE
This is so much better than those short clips that were posted daily…took foreverrrrrr
I love that it’s Betty O, A Sac, Chellsie… who are part of the coaching team. They’ve been through it at all themselves and truly understand what is needed and how to approach the girls and their needs.
I like that Joscelyn felt comfortable saying she doesn't look forward to any conditioning movements and that USAG included that clip.
They've come so far since the Karoly ranch days.
I love shi as a gymnast!
Same! She's been one of my favs for so long!
Not only has Chellsie competed and won, but she’s also judged competitions. She has a good eye and good advice.
That's an understatement.

Xfinity really said “SPONSORSHIP!” with those Leo logos 😂
Simone really said fuck these interviews 😂

Superior abs on joscelyn Roberson. She really blasted through the leg lifts !!!
who are the national coaches? was Okino or Hatch? I think I ve seen one of them coaching

who is Betty?
Betty Okino, 1992 olympian@@mocneeuq
@@mocneeuqOkino!!!
@@mocneeuq, Betty Okino. She was an Olympic gymnast.
Betty Okino was part of the 1992 Olympic team who won the bronze. The triple turn on beam is named after her "The Okino."
Please show the upgrades!
Tune in to Winter Cup this weekend!
Will it be on NBC? @@erinm9445

Gabby Douglas ?
didn`t see many other faces as well like jordan chiles
How did Simone biles not get interviewed
Is Simone there?
Yes she was there. At around 3:55 you can see Simone in the background.
Yes.
She was shown in the background a few times
And around 1.14 is Simone in the background.
She's there but she don't seem present if u know what I mean. I saw a vid on another channel. She was not doing the drills like the other girls, walking off etc.
Okay let’s see their skills not their timed conditioning
