Oh boy, there's nothing I love more than watching select gymnasts breath and/or drink water while they wait for scores on the sidelines! It's not like anything else is going on, right? XD
***** They have two hours to kill and seriously they could be showing us so many more gymnasts that when I do see someone i don't reconigze I'm like who is that?
Well this is nothing compared to Simone eating and texting at the 2021 classics and championships. Not fault on her, but damn what is wrong with the channel?
Aww did u here the little girls in the background chanting "Go Gabby!" There voices were so filled with admiration! Gabby was my HERO! And she still is to this very day!
I love when USA Gymnastics posts these meets and we get the "bonus" commentary when there were commercial breaks on TV LOL :-D 30:38 "Are we on camera ever again?" *loud drink sip* 31:41 "Are we done yet?" lmao
Amanda Borden is my favorite commentator. She adds so much to a broadcast. Her depth of knowledge and positivity is amazing and she has a way of working WITH her fellow commentators that complements them (even TD). I learn something every time I hear her. Other broadcasts (NBC) I just turn off the sound, but with Amanda, I listen to every word. I hope she continues!
I like Tim as a commentator, when he is objective and gives information about the trainning and health status of the atlhetes.... Thankyou for uploading!
Amanda Borden is an amazing commentator. Now just need Shannon Miller. Imagine 2 former olympic female gymnasts commentating womens gymnastics at the same time.
***** This makes you sound like a bigot because it seems like you don't like Johnny Weir because he is gay. Sports are supposed to be entertaining that is why people watch them.
James Saunders How about Dominique Dawes a well being a commentator. And Marta my heart goes to all of your hard work and dedication. I have been watching you since I have competed myself in gymnastics since 1989-2001. I think I saw Galina still coaching. She use to coach at Broadway Gymnastic School here in California.
When they had that interview with shawn johnson, I was initially like "isnt she a bit young to be getting married? She's only like 16" and then I remembered beijing was 7 years ago...
I love watching Simone on floor. Notice how everyone watching her on floor also had a smile while she performed. Larount smiling right before she did her third pass (fans self)
Here in 2020, love going back and watching these classics, during this COVID time. Love gymnastics, can’t get enough of Simone, Aly, and Gabby! ⚡️🤸♂️⚡️🇺🇸🥇
This competition was so great to watch! I love Aly's new floor routine. Absolutely incredible to see how far she and Gabby have come since London. Really impressive and inspiring to see them working hard. I'm so excited to see them compete with the next generation.
aww, that was nice of Aly to thank the little girl who yelled out to her. when the post-olympic tour came to DC we paid to get front-row seats, which also included an autograph session after the show. with the exception of Nastia, ALL of the girls were SO NICE! McKayla took a picture with me making her "not impressed" face, Alicia posed for a picture with me and was the SWEETEST person you'd ever hope to meet and even took the time to chat with me for a minute or two, Aly saw a sign i made and gave me a thumbs up during the show, and Gabby was very kind as well. like i said, Nastia wasn't very nice - not sure if she was just having a bad day or if she's always like that, but she seemed like she would rather be anywhere but signing autographs for 200 people. which i can kind of understand, but i'm sure she was paid a lot of money to be part of that tour, and if she didn't want to do it she shouldn't have signed up. the tour is for the fans, and when you pay extra for a session after the show, you should be treated well. anyway, with that one exception, the experience was BY FAR one of the best of my 29 years so far! we went to the post-1996 olympics tour, but either they didn't offer an upgrade or we didn't know about it so we didn't get the interaction we got with this one. if your city offers it, you should go to the tour after these next olympics and pay the price for the upgrade - you have a COMPLETELY different experience! you won't be sorry!
I was pleasantly surprised to see how good Nichols looks! She is in some of the best shape I've ever seen her in! If she keeps it up she will have a place not only on the worlds team, but on the olympic as well! Also, great to see Ally and Gabby back. Gabby was rock solid, looked almost more confident than she did in london (didn't think it was possible). And Ally has even more difficulty than she had in London, and as long as she cleans up her execution she will be a force and challenge for Biles to overtake on beam and floor! Cant wait to see how the next year plays out leading up to the games :) So much excitement and potential in the USA team
I'm not going to lie but I really like Maggie Nichols. Honestly I prefer her over MyKayla Skinner because she has a little more clean routines. MyKayla has the power but the execution is lacking. I'm really excited and Nervous for Gabby, Aly & Kyla. Would love to see on or all of them be the first since 2000 to return to an Olympic Games but the Competition here in the US is soo strong and they have soo many up and coming girls clawing at their heels that it will be exciting & nerve racking to watch Olympic Trials next year
I wish they would show the running totals of the scoring. Also show more routines, rather than Kyla Ross or other gymnasts standing around waiting. There were other routines going on in the background. Otherwise good coverage.
They seem to do this exact same pattern with all individually scored performances (not teams sports like soccer or volleyball obviously!) I know i get super frustrated when i even CAN FIND coverage of Elite level Equesrian 3 Day or Olympic competitions around the world... and theres usually between 60-100 riders but theyll focus more on the "big names" during their warm ups or talking to their coach after leavint the arena, following them all the way out filming them hugging their horse & family etc... totally ignoring the 4TH PLACE RIDER whos now having THEIR round but since they aren't as big of an international NAME yet, they wont get coverage over riders who finish BEHIND them even. Its so frustrating!!!
Raisman's FX music is a piece called Russian Sailor's Dance that I got to play in band last year! One of my all-time favorites, I'm so glad she's using it. It suits her REALLY well!
The fall was unfortunate, but Ally's floor routine is otherwise amazing. Great tumbling and strong gymnastics all-around. Her and Gabby Douglas surprised me. I didn't expect either of them to do as well as they did. But Simone Biles is so far ahead of the rest of the world right now in difficulty and consistency, unless she becomes injured in the next year, she can't be beaten. I hope all three of them make the Olympic team in Rio. The US will be unstoppable! Go USA
Awesome! I love that 3 Olympic gold medalists are trying to make a comeback. Aly, Gabby, and Kyla look great! I also was super impressed with Simone, Alyssa Baumann, and Lauren Hernandez in the juniors! Nice work, ladies!
So happy and proud of Gabby. To see her go out there calm and confident is amazing in her position. She's in great shape for where she should be right now.
I'm sorry but a 9.2 for E score on Raisman's vault...? Knees bent, crooked and landed off to the side, then steped to the side. Was I watching the same thing as the judges? Seems like they're overscoring the returning Olympians.
0.1 for bent elbows, 0.1 for bent knees, 0.1 for step, 0.1 for crooked step, 0.1 for out of bounds. I just listed more than you did, and yet I came up with only 0.5. So she still got an extra 0.3 taken off. So technically, she was underscored.
Nicole Robertson I think they are overscoring to be nice since this is their first comeback. I get the feeling though as the competitions go on, they are not going to get these high scores. I am ready to see the world championships because there the scoring will be a dose of reality for the girls. i love simone and think she is really great and i know people have been praising gabby for coming in second behind simone but the test is like i said will be at worlds when aly and gabby have to not only compete against their teammates but the rest of the world. be interesting to see. but i think the usa team will be looking good for worlds and rio. whoever they pick
azaefe Aly will definitely be on that Worlds team and almost certainly the Olympic team as long as she stays healthy. They need her beam, floor, and vault. I want her to take the second all-around spot, but the competition will be tight. The Worlds team will likely be Simone, Aly, Gabby, Bailie, Maggie, and Kyla. They really don't need any specialists on this team.
Seeing Maggie Nichols here makes me so so sad. She was so so good! I'm not gonna talk about the abuse but her being blackballed because she was brave enough to speak up is so so sad. I just wanna hug her and tell her it's all gonna be ok. I hope she knows how great she was and that it was USAG bad not hers
I hope Key can clean up and get her upgrades in by P&Gs. She's so beautiful to watch and seems to of been overshadowed by the two comeback Olympians. I would love a show down between her and Simone sometime in the future.
Okay so I've only watched the first 10 minutes of this so far, but how come no one is mentioning Kyla Ross? I know she's not really making a "comeback" since she never stopped, but people keep saying we have two returning Olympic champions, but we actually have three... Sorry if this is a stupid thing to complain about but I find it a little disrespectful to Kyla.
indorican648 Update: they didn't mention Kyla until 52:10. I find that pretty ridiculous. At least they acknowledged that she is an Olympic gold medalist.
indorican648 Part of the reason it took so long was because she only competed on two events. She'll get a lot more coverage during nationals when she competes all-around.
Just accept the fact that this is Gabby style of choice and she will never be a ballerina. However this music suits her well and I love the fact that all her skills are isolated with the beat. She executes them well and lands upright and can score high, that's all that Matters
Wow Maggie Nicholas came out of nowhere. Also, I think aly going to Olympics looks like a lock to me because her floor has a high difficulty value and she also has a strong beam. Simone is definitely going to rio. Gabby looks great! I hope Kyla comes back strong for P&Gs and where the heck is the Mckayla Maroney?!!!!!!!!!!
I guess where I grew up watching gymnastics and listening to NBC commentators. They don't bother me that much. I agree Amanda, Shannon, Laurie at this point do great and I don't know why we can't have 2 women commentating.
I know this is off topic but who the heck is doing Raisman's and Douglas' makeup? To me it looks like the same person did it and unfortunately I think it looks caked on and makes them look a lot older than they are. Just an observation.
Amanda is a wonderful commentator. I don't want to play the comparison game because I think Nastia is good too, buuuuut I think Nastia still sounds a little young in her voice.
It is terribly unfortunate how you have turned a sporting event into a sensational journalistic endeavor. What about all of those other great athletes you didn't bother to show because you were too concerned by looking at athletes who weren't competing or having us stare at the Chicago skyline? It's great that Gabby and Aly are back, but everyone deserves to be seen and appreciated.
I hate it that they make it seem like you have to be 14 in order to compete. Im sure its harder to return to the sport but its alot easier when like Kyla Ross you don't take 2 years off.
And its even harder here in the US where we have such a large Talent pool go pull from. Other countries like Russia & European have multiple returning Olympians like Aliya Mustafina, Vanessa Ferrari, Larissa Iordache
+Leland Tilden Right?! Haven't seen it done that well since Carly nailed it in the AA at the 2004 games. Carly did it from a back handspring, of course. Is it considered a Patterson if you do it from a round-off? It doesn't matter, really, I'm just curious. Aly does it extremely well. Just beautiful!
charskateful She swears up and down she isn't training a triple-twisting Yurchenko at the moment. This year look for her to just try and add the Cheng as her second vault. If she is going to try and debut a new vault and once again get into the CoP, she'll want to do it in an Olympic year :-)
I really wish they would change the gymnastics to include like the every girl gymnastics like a cartwheel or a back handspringer or one arm back strap has been or die roll something that we can all relate to I mean no one is the gymnast you know or trying to emulate these great gymnasts but they're not doing double backs and on the floor team they're running around jumping and doing these jumps where I want to see like you know a back handspring or a full twisting back handspring or something that the everyday girl can do and put into her floor routine so I think they should have a category where they have to do for everyday girl items or like a scale or I'm just not impressed by how the f i g is regulating the gymnastics these days
best floor from Nichols at least one gymnast who understood the aspect "performance". I hope ribbons and palmtrees are not going to be trending internationally
Could someone tell me, since I am not an expert in gymnastics, what happened with Asthon Lochlear at 1:51:56. Her coach reaches up and taps her, and the commentator says "he spotted her." what did do? did it prevent her from falling? Thanks
In my opinion I don't really like all this new floor music I miss the ones they used for example back in 2012 or 2008 or before that. These days the music is just mashups of different songs and it sounds awful. My opinion you don't look too artistic with the floor music that lots of these gymnasts are using
I'm counting down the days till Tim is dismissed. I swear it will happen one of these days, it's all just a matter of time - I hope. Then the annoying hyperbole, misleading inflation of importance of scores at these domestic meets (which are never indicative of the more proper international judging), the glossing over of the small errors that Simone does have, the shrill exclamations and the dumbing down of routines will no longer be inflicted upon us viewers.
withlove312 I think in general your right about the domestic competition scores vs the international scores, but I think Simone essentially gets the same scores whether she's competing domestically or internationally.
Thang Vuong Yeah, she would score highly but perhaps not as highly as she does here. Not a dig at Simone, just a dig at Tim's commentating. Going on about how Simone should have gotten a 10 in execution when she clearly had small errors such as hops on landings, bah. So annoying and inaccurate.
Why does a fight between two women get more play than W.A.G.? Gymnastics is such a better sport (if you call UFC a sport), it's much more civilized and the competition is FRIENDLY, and if any gymnastics ends in blood and bruises it's considered a BAD THING.
I feel like the commentators are a little negatively biased against Gabby. Not only at the beginning of this competition but in other competitions as well...
Tim always says that McKayla Skinner can perform an Amanar but she has never done it in competition??? Went all the way back to 2012 looking for her performing that vault and couldn't find one.
Lillygymnast99 Easy. Have you not had a passing comment about someone's new hair cut or outfit? Would you physically attend this event and not make any casual comments? There was no complaint built into the comment. "Wow" implies surprise. "joined the heavy make-up crew" is a casual allusion to how they previously did not invest in darker make-up--it's different. YT has a comment section so that we can comment about what we're watching. Does it matter? Well, I felt conversationalist enough to submit the brief comment and another one about how awesome Simone's beam routine is, but at the same time I spent 2 hours watching the competition (er...4 hours. I've watched it twice.). Does it matter to respond? Sure, if we feel like it. Anyway, I apologize if my philosophical/analytical mood is off-putting.
Leah Markum I just thought it was funny. I didn't take it as the deep dark critique others seem to have thought it was. Not to mention, other people seem to be noticing it, like a couple of posts below this one.
+Leah Markum The difference is really just the lipstick. Neither of them wore it previously, and honestly, few American gymnasts do. It's easy to smudge, or get it all over your teeth. And if you have a habit of licking your lips, you will have it eaten off half way through the meet. lol. But these two ladies are no longer children, and have the maturity to pull it off, I think. It's pretty common among many competitors from other countries.
If money was a problem that could break their relationship it must not have been that great in the end. It's not something to be mad over at either of them. It just is what it is.
Oh boy, there's nothing I love more than watching select gymnasts breath and/or drink water while they wait for scores on the sidelines! It's not like anything else is going on, right? XD
***** They have two hours to kill and seriously they could be showing us so many more gymnasts that when I do see someone i don't reconigze I'm like who is that?
Me too i love watching gymnastics
+withlove312 I feel the same way
seriously!! you can hear them announce Madison Kocian as theyre showing Bailey walking with Kim and drinking water like.....
Well this is nothing compared to Simone eating and texting at the 2021 classics and championships. Not fault on her, but damn what is wrong with the channel?
Aww did u here the little girls in the background chanting "Go Gabby!" There voices were so filled with admiration! Gabby was my HERO! And she still is to this very day!
I hope Amanda announces more! I am not a gymnast by any means but she helps me understand the sport more.
So excited to see more from the U.S. Team!
I am a former gymnast and I LOVE her as a commentator!!!
Ex-gymnast here. She's terrific. Why couldn't she have replaced Nastier Puking years ago?
I love the uncut conversations around the 30 minute mark that made this recording while they were waiting to get started on the second rotation omg
I love when USA Gymnastics posts these meets and we get the "bonus" commentary when there were commercial breaks on TV LOL :-D 30:38 "Are we on camera ever again?" *loud drink sip* 31:41 "Are we done yet?" lmao
Soooo good!
So iconic lol
Amanda Borden is my favorite commentator. She adds so much to a broadcast. Her depth of knowledge and positivity is amazing and she has a way of working WITH her fellow commentators that complements them (even TD). I learn something every time I hear her. Other broadcasts (NBC) I just turn off the sound, but with Amanda, I listen to every word. I hope she continues!
Absolutely in love with Simone's new floor routine. Now that's what I call artistic floor gymnastics!! "Nobody is even close"!
I like Tim as a commentator, when he is objective and gives information about the trainning and health status of the atlhetes.... Thankyou for uploading!
Which is virtually never. Dim is one of the stupidest things ever hired for TV.
Simone makes Gymnastics look easy. It seems like it's very easy for her and she's amazing!!
Amanda Borden is an amazing commentator. Now just need Shannon Miller. Imagine 2 former olympic female gymnasts commentating womens gymnastics at the same time.
James Saunders I missed nastia liukin as a commentator
sparx gurl she only commentates for NBC! not universal sports. she'll be back for nats.
***** This makes you sound like a bigot because it seems like you don't like Johnny Weir because he is gay. Sports are supposed to be entertaining that is why people watch them.
James Saunders Right? get these negaitive bitches of 30 yrs ago out PLEASE their routines are compulsories now a days so harsh & critical
James Saunders How about Dominique Dawes a well being a commentator. And Marta my heart goes to all of your hard work and dedication. I have been watching you since I have competed myself in gymnastics since 1989-2001. I think I saw Galina still coaching. She use to coach at Broadway Gymnastic School here in California.
Biles and her tumbling never cease to amaze me. Unbelievable landings !
When they had that interview with shawn johnson, I was initially like "isnt she a bit young to be getting married? She's only like 16" and then I remembered beijing was 7 years ago...
It's still young in this day and age.
I love watching Simone on floor. Notice how everyone watching her on floor also had a smile while she performed. Larount smiling right before she did her third pass (fans self)
Here in 2020, love going back and watching these classics, during this COVID time. Love gymnastics, can’t get enough of Simone, Aly, and Gabby! ⚡️🤸♂️⚡️🇺🇸🥇
Me too, Liz! You’re so cool!😊🤙🏾🌹👊🏾
skinners turns and leaps are incredibly ugly, she should not get credit for those leaps, there are not nearly 180°
This competition was so great to watch! I love Aly's new floor routine. Absolutely incredible to see how far she and Gabby have come since London. Really impressive and inspiring to see them working hard. I'm so excited to see them compete with the next generation.

this little girl shouting "good job aly" and her reaction to aly´s "thank you" in sec 48.40 is priceless
I wish they would show the running totals of the scoring. Also show more routines, rather than Kyla Ross or other gymnasts standing around waiting. There were other routines going on in the background. Otherwise good coverage.

I hope all three of them make the Olympic team in Rio. The US will be unstoppable! Go USA
I agree. The pass actually looks great, she just needs to overrotate the PDA, which is a relatively easy fix
This was the best floor routine l have ever seen Gabby do! You go girl!
Awesome! I love that 3 Olympic gold medalists are trying to make a comeback. Aly, Gabby, and Kyla look great! I also was super impressed with Simone, Alyssa Baumann, and Lauren Hernandez in the juniors! Nice work, ladies!
Wow this is like the best all around meet I’ve ever seen from Gabby, she looked great on all 4.
When someone ask a 22 year old, "why are you coming back", you should say "Venus Williams is my inspiration".
thank you so much for uploading this!
So happy and proud of Gabby. To see her go out there calm and confident is amazing in her position. She's in great shape for where she should be right now.
I'm sorry but a 9.2 for E score on Raisman's vault...? Knees bent, crooked and landed off to the side, then steped to the side. Was I watching the same thing as the judges? Seems like they're overscoring the returning Olympians.

No no no,not underscored....those deductions above are worth more than .1
Nicole Robertson I think they are overscoring to be nice since this is their first comeback. I get the feeling though as the competitions go on, they are not going to get these high scores. I am ready to see the world championships because there the scoring will be a dose of reality for the girls. i love simone and think she is really great and i know people have been praising gabby for coming in second behind simone but the test is like i said will be at worlds when aly and gabby have to not only compete against their teammates but the rest of the world. be interesting to see. but i think the usa team will be looking good for worlds and rio. whoever they pick
Linda Olsob ally will probably not compete in the worlds. But Gabby might have a chance
azaefe Aly will definitely be on that Worlds team and almost certainly the Olympic team as long as she stays healthy. They need her beam, floor, and vault. I want her to take the second all-around spot, but the competition will be tight. The Worlds team will likely be Simone, Aly, Gabby, Bailie, Maggie, and Kyla. They really don't need any specialists on this team.
Maggie Nichols was a huge standout for me. WOW! Can't wait to see her in Indy.
Seeing Maggie Nichols here makes me so so sad. She was so so good! I'm not gonna talk about the abuse but her being blackballed because she was brave enough to speak up is so so sad. I just wanna hug her and tell her it's all gonna be ok. I hope she knows how great she was and that it was USAG bad not hers
At 1:09:53 Simone sticks the hell out of that vault. I can't wait to see her do that in competition
I'm so excited for Simone to make the Olympic team!!! She is my all time favorite gymnast!!!
Gabby's lips colour is amazing
I hope Key can clean up and get her upgrades in by P&Gs. She's so beautiful to watch and seems to of been overshadowed by the two comeback Olympians. I would love a show down between her and Simone sometime in the future.
What's Aly gets everything clean up, she'll be on her way to rio!
Could you imagine if she perfects that second pass how incredible it will be
***** clearly i meant once
trinibwoy27 it will be so amazing I
can't wait till championships!
Thanks for uploading.
So happy to see Gabby and Aly back!!!
I LOVE Tim Daggett and Amanda Bordon together. They make a perfect team and really compliment each other
Okay so I've only watched the first 10 minutes of this so far, but how come no one is mentioning Kyla Ross? I know she's not really making a "comeback" since she never stopped, but people keep saying we have two returning Olympic champions, but we actually have three... Sorry if this is a stupid thing to complain about but I find it a little disrespectful to Kyla.
indorican648 Update: they didn't mention Kyla until 52:10. I find that pretty ridiculous. At least they acknowledged that she is an Olympic gold medalist.
She's the only one from 2012 I really want to make it to Rio.
indorican648 Part of the reason it took so long was because she only competed on two events. She'll get a lot more coverage during nationals when she competes all-around.
I agree I liv Kyla as well but she really needs to up her difficulty of she want to make it to rio
+indorican648 She announced her retirement a few days ago...
it makes me sad that Kyla Ross' growth spurt and injuries really held her back in 2015 after she had soo much success on her own in 2013 & 2014
La canción de Alexandra Raisman me gusto mucho, siempre escoge buena música!!!
I hope there comes a day when Gabby Douglas has decent floor music and choreography. Sadly, it was not this day. She deserves so much better.
Just accept the fact that this is Gabby style of choice and she will never be a ballerina. However this music suits her well and I love the fact that all her skills are isolated with the beat. She executes them well and lands upright and can score high, that's all that Matters
She kept on stopping and starting. Awkward to watch.
Edit: The music is great though!
gabby looks so grown up now!
Wow, Gabby looked really good
Wow Maggie Nicholas came out of nowhere. Also, I think aly going to Olympics looks like a lock to me because her floor has a high difficulty value and she also has a strong beam. Simone is definitely going to rio. Gabby looks great! I hope Kyla comes back strong for P&Gs and where the heck is the Mckayla Maroney?!!!!!!!!!!

Gabby is so damn beautiful
Amanda is a wonderful commentator. I don't want to play the comparison game because I think Nastia is good too, buuuuut I think Nastia still sounds a little young in her voice.
Why didn't you guys edit the commercials out? Jeeeezzz
It is terribly unfortunate how you have turned a sporting event into a sensational journalistic endeavor. What about all of those other great athletes you didn't bother to show because you were too concerned by looking at athletes who weren't competing or having us stare at the Chicago skyline? It's great that Gabby and Aly are back, but everyone deserves to be seen and appreciated.
Oh my god at 48:37 cutest thing ever
Aly’s just a sweetheart. I just love her.
That kiddo at 48:37 made my day :D
I hate it that they make it seem like you have to be 14 in order to compete.
Im sure its harder to return to the sport but its alot easier when like Kyla Ross you don't take 2 years off.
And its even harder here in the US where we have such a large Talent pool go pull from. Other countries like Russia & European have multiple returning Olympians like Aliya Mustafina, Vanessa Ferrari, Larissa Iordache
gdogg2000 You can compete at the age of 9 years of age.
gdogg2000 Under USA gymnastics rules, you must be age 5 or over to compete.
Well we are looking at USGF regulations here.
01:18:00 - THAT DISMOUNT!!! Woah.
+Leland Tilden Right?! Haven't seen it done that well since Carly nailed it in the AA at the 2004 games. Carly did it from a back handspring, of course. Is it considered a Patterson if you do it from a round-off? It doesn't matter, really, I'm just curious. Aly does it extremely well. Just beautiful!
+auntbon63 yes as long as it's a double Arabian off the beam it's still considered a Patterson.
+Sergio Flores Thank you for the information!
I don't like gymnastics I love gymnastics!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What was going on in the 30-31-32 minutes with the commentators? 😹😹
Ariana Lozada ikr i thought it was so funny how they're like aRe wE bAcK oN cAmErA
I'm hanging out for Simone to do a triple twisting vault...I'm certain it must be in the making! ;-)
charskateful She swears up and down she isn't training a triple-twisting Yurchenko at the moment. This year look for her to just try and add the Cheng as her second vault. If she is going to try and debut a new vault and once again get into the CoP, she'll want to do it in an Olympic year :-)
Am i the only one who can't see the results on screen
Me.
En lo personal...las mejores en este momento son: Ali, Gabby, y Simone....pero cada una tiene lo suyo....saludos...
Hahah the guy with the coffees in the 39:43 minutes lol
Gabby's FX and VT were solid! :) I also like Aly's grace.
they are good
Ahh Skinner the music sounds like River dancing/ cheerleading music gone wrong... not a fan at all of her music.
Simon Biles - ♡♡♡♡
Its weird that my High School graduation ceremony was there!
Devin Parham Where are u now in life
So fun to watch the uncut version haha
so happy to see gabby kill that beam routine
I really wish they would change the gymnastics to include like the every girl gymnastics like a cartwheel or a back handspringer or one arm back strap has been or die roll something that we can all relate to I mean no one is the gymnast you know or trying to emulate these great gymnasts but they're not doing double backs and on the floor team they're running around jumping and doing these jumps where I want to see like you know a back handspring or a full twisting back handspring or something that the everyday girl can do and put into her floor routine so I think they should have a category where they have to do for everyday girl items or like a scale or I'm just not impressed by how the f i g is regulating the gymnastics these days
If the US gymnasts can all stay healthy and uninjured, the possibilities in Rio for the team (whoever is chosen) is limitless!
here I am in 2018 getting chills when gabby douglas walks by simone biles in the beginning.
best floor from Nichols at least one gymnast who understood the aspect "performance".
I hope ribbons and palmtrees are not going to be trending internationally
Yana Kudryavtseva slayed her ribbon. Don't be bad
Baille with that amanar could of been the second place in the Olympics she was so good I wish she did collegic gymnastics
Is the first pass ever been name yet? Double layout with full twist on second flip...
she could potentially get it named after her as Biles 2.
Lmao that was first performed in the 80’s my guy
I always wondered what happened to the young lady Bailie Key. Did injuries hamper her? She just seemed to disappear.
Could someone tell me, since I am not an expert in gymnastics, what happened with Asthon Lochlear at 1:51:56. Her coach reaches up and taps her, and the commentator says "he spotted her." what did do? did it prevent her from falling? Thanks
Felicidades me encanto👏👏👏👏👏💞
Yo, simone is so good
Love GabbY! Way To GabbY!
"I like the spotlight you know me" -Tim
I know right it's so damn rude
In my opinion I don't really like all this new floor music I miss the ones they used for example back in 2012 or 2008 or before that. These days the music is just mashups of different songs and it sounds awful. My opinion you don't look too artistic with the floor music that lots of these gymnasts are using
Yayyyyyyyy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Simone and what a comeback Gabby and Ally!!!!!!!!!!
I'm counting down the days till Tim is dismissed. I swear it will happen one of these days, it's all just a matter of time - I hope. Then the annoying hyperbole, misleading inflation of importance of scores at these domestic meets (which are never indicative of the more proper international judging), the glossing over of the small errors that Simone does have, the shrill exclamations and the dumbing down of routines will no longer be inflicted upon us viewers.
withlove312 His favorite word: "catastrophic"
Amy Mantravadi "Off the charts" is another. So is "unbelievable." And "ginormous." Any others you can think of?
withlove312 I think in general your right about the domestic competition scores vs the international scores, but I think Simone essentially gets the same scores whether she's competing domestically or internationally.
Thang Vuong Yeah, she would score highly but perhaps not as highly as she does here. Not a dig at Simone, just a dig at Tim's commentating. Going on about how Simone should have gotten a 10 in execution when she clearly had small errors such as hops on landings, bah. So annoying and inaccurate.
withlove312 I agree! Another one is: "Gymnastics 101"
Why does a fight between two women get more play than W.A.G.? Gymnastics is such a better sport (if you call UFC a sport), it's much more civilized and the competition is FRIENDLY, and if any gymnastics ends in blood and bruises it's considered a BAD THING.
The behind the scenes commercial commentary is kind of inappropriate and unprofessional
gabby douglas and the coach do be touchy
bravissima
At 27:07, Mykayla Skinner looks like she could be Kim Zmeskal's daughter.
i was so nervus the whole timeX} glad 4 samone but i still love gabby:]
Josie Sullivan i love there new floor music but i also like the old and more mature ones
I feel like the commentators are a little negatively biased against Gabby. Not only at the beginning of this competition but in other competitions as well...
Agreed! Gabby never got the absolute respect she deserves.
Go Gabby
Ally Raisman's vault was definitely over-scored. Look how bent her knees were through the last twist!
Tim always says that McKayla Skinner can perform an Amanar but she has never done it in competition??? Went all the way back to 2012 looking for her performing that vault and couldn't find one.
Wow, Gabby and Aly have joined the heavy make-up crew.
does it really matter? we are here to watch them compete, not complain about their makeup
Lillygymnast99 Easy. Have you not had a passing comment about someone's new hair cut or outfit? Would you physically attend this event and not make any casual comments? There was no complaint built into the comment. "Wow" implies surprise. "joined the heavy make-up crew" is a casual allusion to how they previously did not invest in darker make-up--it's different. YT has a comment section so that we can comment about what we're watching.
Does it matter? Well, I felt conversationalist enough to submit the brief comment and another one about how awesome Simone's beam routine is, but at the same time I spent 2 hours watching the competition (er...4 hours. I've watched it twice.). Does it matter to respond? Sure, if we feel like it.
Anyway, I apologize if my philosophical/analytical mood is off-putting.
The bright lights wash it out. The audience sees it differently.
Leah Markum I just thought it was funny. I didn't take it as the deep dark critique others seem to have thought it was. Not to mention, other people seem to be noticing it, like a couple of posts below this one.
+Leah Markum The difference is really just the lipstick. Neither of them wore it previously, and honestly, few American gymnasts do. It's easy to smudge, or get it all over your teeth. And if you have a habit of licking your lips, you will have it eaten off half way through the meet. lol. But these two ladies are no longer children, and have the maturity to pull it off, I think. It's pretty common among many competitors from other countries.
oh my god. it was like an hour's worth of pointless aerial shots.
No offense but I think most of the new music for floor is just made up of a bunch of sound effecta
Who is gabby Douglass's coach? Sorry for spelling
Keep expecting Gabby to come off the stage and into Chow's arms... :(
It's a shame.
Coaches that produce champions should get paid like a champion.
iamkarenh True but not charge the champion more because she became one. Her fee should have been the same as it was in 2012
+dahighbar Wait that's what it was? He was charging her more to train there?
If money was a problem that could break their relationship it must not have been that great in the end. It's not something to be mad over at either of them. It just is what it is.
