@@sharonh.8683 emma? I mean you never know but seems unlikely , she is talented but not sure they would risk bringing a gymnast who isnt experienced, my cards are on skinner or grace
And think what she was going through-what all of them are going through. I am a lot older than most of you who love this sport, but as we were growing up, it was hard to get someone to listen to our complaints about the adults who were “in charge”. I guess nothing has changed.
Ali had been at this for so long. She is a true leader. She was also one of the first girls with USA Gymnastics to publicly speak out and testify against Larry Nassar and to speak out against USA Gymnastics. She cared so much about her teammates and took her responsibility as a leader to heart.
Thinking the same thing although watching various performances of her’s over the last year I had noticed that she’d become much more “serious” and less bubbly and joyful in appearance. She made a very brave decision for herself and glad to see the fans behind her all the way.
Well in 2016 she was a rookie in the eyes of most Olympic viewers so there was not nearly as much pressure on her. After Rio she became a National icon and she felt that she had to live up to that. I feel bad
Same! I was scrolling through the comments to find out who she is. I love how much she focuses in the elements of the routine. Helps understand the sport and scoring.
@@fatimahadid4645 It is HER best... She consistently makes finals and it's her highest scoring apparatus. Her results in finals has nothing to do with it being her best event. 🤣🤣🤣

2:18:40 very beautiful and respectful on the part of Simone Biles explaining to her colleagues that she can only climb on the podium after the third announcement which is in Portuguese, the language of Brazil! 👏🏻
Remember one time back in the 1990’s or early 2000’s when an assistant for the USA moved a mount from the uneven bars. The USA thought that they had won the bronze medal, but some other team brought it to the attention of the officials that she did not move out of the way and did not remove the mount with her. Of course immediately after the objection was lodged, if I remember correctly, it was upheld and the USA lost the bronze medal in the team competition. Now I watch these coaches almost help these gymnasts complete their twists turns and flips. It was disgusting.
I feel bad for the Japan gymnast who was doing beam while aly was on floor because she was having the routine of her lifetime and when she landed perfectly she didn’t get the big cheers because everyone was so focused on Aly🥺
Flavia really deserves a medal in Tokyo and I hope its gold, especially on beam. She does not get the recognition she deserves, she's one of my favorite gymnasts
Right?! I think Asuka T. (spelling?) Is SOoooo GORGEOUS too!! And she like, ripped half the skin off her palm on her grip on her bars routine and she not only stuck through it SMILING, LANDED IT, but KEPT SMILING even when she was showing her ripped up hand to her coach to get bandaged!! I adore her!
i’ve never heard of saraiva before but i must say, her floor routine was extremely exciting to watch. she’s just a little ball of energy and her smile makes it all better along with her nailing all her passes !!
The fact that no one ever talks about how graceful Seda Tutkhalian of Russia is (Or Aly Raisman on floor), is proof that most of the calls for "grace" and "artistry" are really about a body type preference in gymnastics.
I totally agree! I started noticing a pattern where “grace” and “artistry” are always associated with skinny gymnasts with long legs (Khorkina, Komova, Nastia, etc.) and I was always confused. I personally think Khorkina is VERY awkward in her movements. Then I realized that they were really just talking about body type. Even Ana Pavlova (one of the most graceful gymnasts I’ve ever seen) was not usually called graceful
While I agree to a certain extent, I'd say Mustafina was the most graceful of them all and she didn't have that exact body type. Same thing with Spiridonova's QF FX, a really skinny gymnast with long, beautiful legs but her routine was just tragic, not graceful at all. I believe it's a combination of body type, musicality, expression and skills.
I agree with this fully. I was even on another video one time where this guy said that he's tired of seeing "muscular, not graceful gymnasts" and when questioned, he admitted that he likes to see skinnier gymnasts like the ones back then (who some were literally starved smh). Grace does not always pertain to balletic, or classical moves either
Okay, I know it's Simone Biles, but how on earth does she turn outwards in the middle of flipping in the air?? And she does it so quickly! It's like all of a sudden, she is facing the complete opposite way! All of the skills these athletes perform are super impressive but like, I just don't understand where the physics in that motion are!! BRAVO!!!
oh my gosh, I never even noticed that! I think Jake was actually looking but Logan was on his phone or something for most of it. I always feel second hand embarrassment whenever I see something in the news about them. If this what the younger generation is looking up to, I'm appalled. People have got to have higher standards.
didn't expect a gymnast from Japan to use music in her floor exercise that I used to sing as a camper in a Jewish overnight camp on Friday nights, but here we are!! so glad to see our music being used in such beautiful ways
@@DanielO-100 gotcha! Well, you know what to do!! Train, train, train! Work harder than ever. You have it within you to do AMAZING things!.. best of luck 💖
Its amazing the huge contrast in the reactions to silver from this Russian team vs 2012. Seemed like they have a lot more positive and good sports this time.
Remember the year they were so mad to get 2nd? They took those medals off immediately. They were awful sports that year. That was the same year the vault was not the right height.
The 2012 team on paper should have been neck and neck with the US. The 2016 team knew there was no chance for gold so silver was basically winning, since they could have been pushed down if GB and a few of the other teams had gotten their act together.
The gold was within their reach in London, but they messed up so bad at the last part. That's why they were devastated and cried. This time, they did well and no major mistakes so yea, they probably satisfied.
So pissed that instead of getting to watch the gorgeous Dutch floor routines, we get useless shots of gymnastics doing literally nothing. WHY do they do this?! These gymnasts work so hard and the world wants to see them DO the things, and instead the majority of the broadcast is GYMNASTS NOT DOING ANYTHING!!! How can we let this stand? Someone needs to do better. Broadcasters, camera people SOMEONE!!!
Omg YESSSSSSSS!!!! I'm old so I'm gonna show my age here, but I've watched each Olympics Gymnastics meet since Barcelona 1992 and this has ALWAYS been a problem. They'll awkwardly keep the camera in the face of some girl who is happy to smile and say hello, but wanting to FOCUS. Instead of creepily hovering in someone's face, why not cover other routines? SO much wasted time. Something else I've always said: they're able to flash a constant stream of sports scores across the bottom of the screen during any sporting event. Would it really be so hard to have a scroll of scores? Like if we're watching a routine and a score from a prior competitor or another apparatus comes through..... SHOW IT. 😠😠😠😠
Gawd how I miss Aly. She’s got the best floor routine (and body) in the business haha. And I just loved watching her guide the younger girls. Even teaching them how to hold up their medals and such. She’s a true gem.
Isn’t that Aly’s floor music (1:04:43), while she’s doing her beam routine?? What a coincidence that someone would have the same music and that they would be completing their floor while she was on the beam 😳😍
Right?! I always look so MAD AND SERIOUS in my professional pics of me jumping and riding my horses at shows.... I'm always so happy when they actually snap a more candid one of me with a huge grin on my face or with my reins in one hand reaching up to give my boy a big.rub by his ears & you can see my mouth is wide open in a half grin saying "GOOOOOD BOYYYY!!!!!" I ALLLLWAYS buy those pics when I see them 😊
Watching this in March 2020 & loving it. Yes, during the quarantine. Just learned the 2020 Olympics is officially delayed until 2021 bc of the Coronavirus. But, that’s necessary to keep everyone safe. ⚡️🤸♀️⚡️🇺🇸🏅
@2:10:13 Thank you/ありがとうございます to the Team 日本 (Japan) Gymnast who is joining in the "U-S-A!" crowd chants following Simone Biles floor routine! 🇯🇵 ❤️ 🇺🇸 🤸♀️ Always impressed by the great sportsmanship and class the Japanese athletes have. :)
Know what I'm BORED WITH?! I SWEAR... ever since poor Alicia S's fall when she attempted her very difficult mount onto beam & started the USA's downward spiral in Beijing towards losing the team gold to China.... Doesn't it seem like most of these girls DONT bother even taking SMALL chances when mounting the beam?! I understand nerves and just wanting to get up there and start & not worry about having to nail a super difficult mount from the very start... But pffft. It's BOOOORING!!! Everyone just kinda hops up there from the floor or jumps up from the side or end from the trampoline!! No one even does unique, but perhaps less tricky mounts like Nastia's where she would mount from the side and go straight into a handstand & splits... I don't think any of these girls did any sort of REALLY "difficult" beam mounts?! BOOOOO! I wanna see somr CARNAGE SOMETIMES, DANG IT!!! COME ONNNN!!!
I was a no competitive gymnast for about 10 years. The bars always scared me. Watching these beautiful women just work! every event is beautiful. It amazes me how they are able to do beam and stay on too.
Forever heartbroken for Mao yi, she was probably my favorite in the Chinese team and she didn't deserve this poor performances at the Olympics, I hope she's doing well right now on whatever her projects are 💖💖🇨🇳
For some reason...I love watching all competitions from 2012 backwards it was more exciting because there was more than one person who could win now there’s just Simone 🤣 she wins everything amazing athlete but it’s not the same knowing who’s going to win
Flash Back Friday, this is the best to watch before, after, and during quarantine,... Who else enjoying this beside me raise your hand 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
Aly is so adorable, she was such a great leader and mom to team, when Simone said “what you said Aly?” (at the 2:20:00 mark) and Aly said she thinks it would be cute to hold the medal up to their ear. I heard her say “hold it up” to them when it was time… it looked so cute and they all did so well. Can’t wait for this year’s!
I don't like Paseka's vaulting style but she really did come through to secure her team's silver medal! One of my favorite moments of the entire competition
What secured their medal- silver in particular- was the fact that they just stayed steady and focused, didn’t let a fall on beam slow them and then- as you mentioned- capped with Maria hitting her crucial vault. That’s how it’s done!
She was incredibly consistent throughout the games- which is why she was chosen over Ashton. She also had the difficulty to win if she hit (silver isn’t half bad though!), which Ashton didn’t sadly.
not sure anyone was aware.....but when Ali was on beam, someone had part of her music in their routine on floor.....and she still nailed it....i would never have been able to concentrate like that!
I just love how it didn’t matter what country any of them were from. Laurie, Aly, & Simone had the whole crowd going crazy for floor. Floor was my favorite when I did gymnastics and floor will always be my favorite to watch. All of it is amazing, though. 💗
This is what to watch during quarantine

The fact that no one ever talks about how graceful Seda Tutkhalian of Russia is (Or Aly Raisman on floor), is proof that most of the calls for "grace" and "artistry" are really about a body type preference in gymnastics.

B Porter due to copyright reasons it wasn’t available in my country 🌚🙃
Lauren Hernandez is so excited i love it
50:05 when Gabrielle lands you can see Logan and jake Paul dabbing with USA attire on..I’m embarrassed 😖
pieces of trash, they weren’t even looking at her while she was performing
lmao i saw him stand up and i was like “is that? No, it can’t”
oh my gosh, I never even noticed that! I think Jake was actually looking but Logan was on his phone or something for most of it. I always feel second hand embarrassment whenever I see something in the news about them. If this what the younger generation is looking up to, I'm appalled. People have got to have higher standards.
I’m dead🤣
I didn't even notice that until you said something. I was focused on Gabby the whole time.
didn't expect a gymnast from Japan to use music in her floor exercise that I used to sing as a camper in a Jewish overnight camp on Friday nights, but here we are!! so glad to see our music being used in such beautiful ways
it's like they knew 2020 would be postponed and so they dropped this as a band aid on our hearts
Watching this gets me so hyped up for 2021!!! I’m not even American and I’m so excited to see Simone Biles again!
Please AA from Rio!!!
Only the best in the biggest competition on Earth. I would love to be there one day.
You can do it! I will remember ur name, or username
Do it! Are you a gymnast too?
@@JennaLeigh No. I play football/soccer.
@@DanielO-100 gotcha! Well, you know what to do!! Train, train, train! Work harder than ever. You have it within you to do AMAZING things!.. best of luck 💖
@@JennaLeigh Oh my gosh. Thank you for the advice and compliment that means so much. Will get onto it.
China's leotards are fire. Just beautiful.
I feel like they're always so elegant and creative compared to USA!
@@jennacrafts4741 the American leotard is usually based on their flag so it a bit repetitive and boring I agree
Jenna Crafts yep but USA still takes the win
USA team is always strong why but china population 1.4billion but no tellent only joke of population 😁🤣🤣🤣
RED BULL channel no China have won many golds, besides population does not determine everything, you don’t see India win tons of golds right？
When aly did her beam routine she must have been so confused by the person on floor because they were using her music! 🤣
Its Angelina melnikova
I really want the Japanese to win a team medal they are so passionate about this! They definitely deserve one!
They are getting closer to having the strength and depth to do so!
Yes!
Its amazing the huge contrast in the reactions to silver from this Russian team vs 2012. Seemed like they have a lot more positive and good sports this time.
Remember the year they were so mad to get 2nd? They took those medals off immediately. They were awful sports that year. That was the same year the vault was not the right height.
The 2012 team on paper should have been neck and neck with the US. The 2016 team knew there was no chance for gold so silver was basically winning, since they could have been pushed down if GB and a few of the other teams had gotten their act together.
The gold was within their reach in London, but they messed up so bad at the last part. That's why they were devastated and cried. This time, they did well and no major mistakes so yea, they probably satisfied.
@@lesliewilhelmus656 That was Sydney 2000. Led by the lovely Svetlana Khorkina.
@@Ilovegymnastics-ks4ii I can just hear the sarcasm dripping in spades in that comment 😂
So pissed that instead of getting to watch the gorgeous Dutch floor routines, we get useless shots of gymnastics doing literally nothing. WHY do they do this?! These gymnasts work so hard and the world wants to see them DO the things, and instead the majority of the broadcast is GYMNASTS NOT DOING ANYTHING!!! How can we let this stand? Someone needs to do better. Broadcasters, camera people SOMEONE!!!
Omg YESSSSSSSS!!!! I'm old so I'm gonna show my age here, but I've watched each Olympics Gymnastics meet since Barcelona 1992 and this has ALWAYS been a problem. They'll awkwardly keep the camera in the face of some girl who is happy to smile and say hello, but wanting to FOCUS. Instead of creepily hovering in someone's face, why not cover other routines? SO much wasted time.
Something else I've always said: they're able to flash a constant stream of sports scores across the bottom of the screen during any sporting event. Would it really be so hard to have a scroll of scores? Like if we're watching a routine and a score from a prior competitor or another apparatus comes through..... SHOW IT. 😠😠😠😠
Samantha Mathews different chanel will air the different counties.
Only USA floor routine was good anyway
Comrade Shaandan The other country’s teams worked really hard and had some beautiful routines as well. Don’t be so quick to shut down other teams.
@@NzPhenomenon shhh. Your ignorance is showing.
Gawd how I miss Aly. She’s got the best floor routine (and body) in the business haha. And I just loved watching her guide the younger girls. Even teaching them how to hold up their medals and such. She’s a true gem.
Please!Upload these opening and closing ceremonies:

Why is no one talking how solid Aly's beam was.
They are all so super talented!! Gabby Douglas is my favorite gymnast of all time!
Gabby Douglas is my favorite too.
be faster, nari.
Why yes, @olympic, I do indeed now have 2+ hours to watch this
Haha I certainly shouldn't have but I did anyways
Almost 4 years later and I still feel the same emotions
Isn’t that Aly’s floor music (1:04:43), while she’s doing her beam routine?? What a coincidence that someone would have the same music and that they would be completing their floor while she was on the beam 😳😍
Soon we'll have a new Olympics to rewatch over and over!
I love when they smile and get excited 🥺❤️
Right?! I always look so MAD AND SERIOUS in my professional pics of me jumping and riding my horses at shows.... I'm always so happy when they actually snap a more candid one of me with a huge grin on my face or with my reins in one hand reaching up to give my boy a big.rub by his ears & you can see my mouth is wide open in a half grin saying "GOOOOOD BOYYYY!!!!!" I ALLLLWAYS buy those pics when I see them 😊
I have to say, my favorite floor routine was Pauline Schafer's. She had such beautiful music, plus her landings were really good
39:14 that triple turn. 🤩😍
That routine was perfect!
Amazing 💕
Watching this in March 2020 & loving it. Yes, during the quarantine. Just learned the 2020 Olympics is officially delayed until 2021 bc of the Coronavirus. But, that’s necessary to keep everyone safe. ⚡️🤸♀️⚡️🇺🇸🏅
Liz Miller the delay worked for me. That way I’ll have the chance to go to my first olympics ever.
ZC94601 that’s awesome
I just learned yesterday it was delayed. I never watch tv though.
@@ZC94601 - Hope you get to go!🤸♂️🇺🇸
@2:10:13 Thank you/ありがとうございます to the Team 日本 (Japan) Gymnast who is joining in the "U-S-A!" crowd chants following Simone Biles floor routine! 🇯🇵 ❤️ 🇺🇸 🤸♀️
Always impressed by the great sportsmanship and class the Japanese athletes have. :)
Aly Raisman 🥰🥰🥰
And now the ROC won gold and USA got silver in Tokyo.. congrats to both teams 🥰🥰
Wishing that the Tokyo Olympic were coming. Bored at home... But I'm watching this so I'm not bored anymore😁
I heard they are not doing it till 2021 but these are still very entertaining!!!!!
Know what I'm BORED WITH?! I SWEAR... ever since poor Alicia S's fall when she attempted her very difficult mount onto beam & started the USA's downward spiral in Beijing towards losing the team gold to China.... Doesn't it seem like most of these girls DONT bother even taking SMALL chances when mounting the beam?! I understand nerves and just wanting to get up there and start & not worry about having to nail a super difficult mount from the very start... But pffft. It's BOOOORING!!! Everyone just kinda hops up there from the floor or jumps up from the side or end from the trampoline!! No one even does unique, but perhaps less tricky mounts like Nastia's where she would mount from the side and go straight into a handstand & splits... I don't think any of these girls did any sort of REALLY "difficult" beam mounts?! BOOOOO! I wanna see somr CARNAGE SOMETIMES, DANG IT!!!
COME ONNNN!!!
I was a no competitive gymnast for about 10 years. The bars always scared me. Watching these beautiful women just work! every event is beautiful. It amazes me how they are able to do beam and stay on too.
2:17:06 The crowd reaction when they mention “Aliya Mustafina” ❤️❤️❤️
Forever heartbroken for Mao yi, she was probably my favorite in the Chinese team and she didn't deserve this poor performances at the Olympics, I hope she's doing well right now on whatever her projects are 💖💖🇨🇳
I know me too. Any news of her recovery? Ever since that horrible vault accident she had in the American Cup ...
thank you so much for taking my suggestion on twitter! i love gymnastics! all team, all-around and event finals are beautiful to watch these days

Raisman`s floor routine came me chills :O and all sort of other emotions :P
I cried when she did!
For some reason...I love watching all competitions from 2012 backwards it was more exciting because there was more than one person who could win now there’s just Simone 🤣 she wins everything amazing athlete but it’s not the same knowing who’s going to win
For sure😂
These olympics were amazing that way! Love Simone, but it was really cool to watch this year!
Laurie Hernandez has the biggest eyes I have ever seen.. she is adorable!
Yessss finally with the good commentators!!
Flash Back Friday, this is the best to watch before, after, and during quarantine,... Who else enjoying this beside me raise your hand 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
ME ME ME ME ME 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍
Pauline Schaefer’s floor routine was beautiful.
I was looking for this comment. Her floor was absolutely gorgeous, and I felt it was a tad underscored.
A great way of stay home! Thank you Olympic Channel ! Can you Please upload the others Event ? ❤️✌🏻
Aly is so adorable, she was such a great leader and mom to team, when Simone said “what you said Aly?” (at the 2:20:00 mark) and Aly said she thinks it would be cute to hold the medal up to their ear. I heard her say “hold it up” to them when it was time… it looked so cute and they all did so well. Can’t wait for this year’s!
Who is watching this before Paris 2024? ❤
it's funny how dusty Biles looked back here.. money definitely equals beauty
Me 🙋🏽♀️
Me!!
meee
@@briancockerham4731🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄no money is not always equal beauty because I am pretty sure you will always be a 💩💩💩💩 even if you ever have money

The dabbing when gabby landed... embarrassing
@@leatzschule698 which routine? I didn't catch it
@@aprilsilvers381 her Bars routine
I love the Japanese , Dutch and Brazilian team ❤️💚
I don't like Paseka's vaulting style but she really did come through to secure her team's silver medal! One of my favorite moments of the entire competition
What secured their medal- silver in particular- was the fact that they just stayed steady and focused, didn’t let a fall on beam slow them and then- as you mentioned- capped with Maria hitting her crucial vault. That’s how it’s done!
yes.
Laurie's pure joy can cheer anyone up
Who else is praying to at least one deity and ancestor daily that we will have a Tokyo 2020 Olympics? I need to see gymnastics.
Jennifer moved to 2021
Fake olympics.
Madison Kocian's routine at 1:01:09 omg! Killed it!
She was incredibly consistent throughout the games- which is why she was chosen over Ashton. She also had the difficulty to win if she hit (silver isn’t half bad though!), which Ashton didn’t sadly.
Yes ❤
Some girls are so young. This is so difficult. Much respect for all of them.
not sure anyone was aware.....but when Ali was on beam, someone had part of her music in their routine on floor.....and she still nailed it....i would never have been able to concentrate like that!
That was Angelina Melnikova of Russia. Her version was more similar to the original Russian music than Aly's.
We need more routines like Laurie’s! 😍
Minus the abusive coach prowling in the background.
@@karyon1007truth
2:15:23 the way she imediatly put back the her teamate's ponytail. They're just to cute to have an eye on each other 🥺
I just love how it didn’t matter what country any of them were from. Laurie, Aly, & Simone had the whole crowd going crazy for floor. Floor was my favorite when I did gymnastics and floor will always be my favorite to watch. All of it is amazing, though. 💗
Simone Biles never gives up and she is the best gymnast in the world! I do gymnastics because I want to be just like her😊
