Yes it was a shame to see her mess up so many times in the qualifications and team final. I was really hoping she would perform well in the olympics. her floor routine is so beautiful when she hits and could have probably got her the bronze
Personally I like her routine better than Shang's. Her tumbles are a lot more effortless looking and floaty while Shang is like a powerhouse. They are both great and I'd love to see on of them medal but Mao has a bit more style to my liking.
The internal bonus doesn't really make sense but this routine could've gotten her a bronze in Rio if she only hit her routine. She was supposed to be the fx specialist for China.
She has made a full recovery, having just competed in a competition in China. She continues to do gymnastics, but I don't think she will be able to go back to world class competition. I mean it's hard for her to be selected to represent the country again. She will retire soon and go to college.
why oh why couldn't she do this in Rio :(
That is the best quad turn I've ever seen. And her tumbling is amazing here. So graceful

@@rhysopher If Aly messed up then maybe even a silver
her quad turn reminded me of sui lu

Sure! Shang is petit, so i guess she really used a lot strength to do all tumblings! And Mao is really great!!
Matteeboii mao is more graceful to watch but Shang hits her routines better.
I agree. Too bad she faultered so badly at the olympics. The 3.5 twist to front pike is spectacular here.
Ugh imagine if she did this in Rio at TF. Probably China would’ve clenched the silver.
Not probably. Definitely!
SO sad we won't be seeing this in the floor final this year :( I hope she continues throughout the next quad, she has so much talent
She's retiring after the National Games :(
Kameron Coleman Where did you hear that? Who else is retiring?
I heard that on the 2017 Nationals Video of her on floor. I don't hear of anyone else retiring right now.
Kameron Coleman That blows I like her. I also wanted her to redeem herself after her disastrous Rio qualification.
Yeah, how come every time she goes up on the international stage, she always messes up something?
It's a historic routine, definitely could watch for it again and again! But does it need to change for Tokyo squad code?!
Her tumbling is gorgeous. Such pretty lines.

Are you sure it wasn't supposed to be Wang Yan?
@@bluepanther1013 WY was the second all arounder behind SCS
Does anyone know if/ how she healed up from that horrendous broken thigh last year at the American Cup (2018)? Is she back doing gymnastics?

Is she trying for Tokyo?
it's a pity that she didn't show a complete routine in Rio
When in 2016 was this? The progression of this to Rio is STARTLING, and not in a good way obv. WTF happened ?? 🤔 😭
So beautiful and amazing 🤑
All her tumblings are really pretty and nice!!
How much did it cost Valentina to get this poor sweet girl to go from this to her Rio routines? 🤔
If only she could do her first pass like this in Rio. China would have gotten silver.
What is the internal bonus?
+Tribute2the80s 0.1 for 3 1/2 twist, 0.1 for 2 E element in her tumbles, and 0.1 for stick dismount (although its kinda stick and kinda not)
+Tribute2the80s
They use that to encourage their gymnasts!!
