Gymnast Suni Lee Reveals WHY She & Simone Biles Fell Off Balance Beam | 2024 Olympics | E! News
/ enews
Unless you’ve competed people don’t tend understand this. You have 10k people staring at you. There is NOTHING else going on besides your routine. That combined with the silence puts an immense amount of pressure on you. It messes with your head. Usually there are other events going on.
That means that the three gymnasts who were mentally stronger won.
@@dinosardella88no, other countries are used to silence so this was typical for them. They aren’t “mentally stronger”.
@@GenderLoin and you know that because you visited the training halls of every single Country right? So you know there is silence in every gym but US's. Interesting 🤣
@@dinosardella88 A couple things -- 1) You could argue that the medalists on any event were mentally strongest, it doesn't make it true. The podium always shows who was best ON THAT DAY. 2) You can easily find training videos of most international gymnasts, and yes they're used to cheering and encouragement from their teammates -- China, Romania, Russia, France, Great Britain, the list goes on. Hope this helps!
@@turbojon8117it did thank you. I checked a few training videos from Suni Lee and Simone Biles. They were the only ones in the gym and there was no music. Complete silence. Just like the training from the Countries you mentioned. Hope that helps.
I had assumed there was something wrong or slippery with the beam given that multiple people that night were slipping on it
Exactly. I had assumed there was an actual reason.
Yeah several gymnasts fell at the same spot.
Apparently European beams also have curved edges that the american ones don’t. But I bet they practiced on those kinds of beams so that part shouldn’t have been an issue
@@Aucklandinsummeryour posts are vile and disgusting
@@Aucklandinsummer Yeah She Def. Is? SHE FELL SO WHAT She mades mistakes so what but ended Her career with accolades and acompplishments never achieved by anyone else in the sport of gymnastics so yeah She Def. The Goat!
I just love Suni’s personality. Such a sweet & humble gal.
I love how people in the comments are experts at being an Olympic athlete… 😂. It’s just entertaining to me😂😂😂
You&I are laughing at the same thing LOL!! They judging these Gymnasts and commentating but never trained or won a Competition or Medal in they life!! Lol!!
Did Alice just prove that she is the strongest meditator? 😂
❤ 🇮🇹
Alice was so solid throughout all her events. Minimal errors. Wanted Suni to win but impressed with Alice's nerves of steel
I think it's interesting that Italy put two women on the medal stand in that event. Seems like they can funnel pressure well. China too.
@@sandrag5528 I read that she went 15 for 15 in Paris and had no execution scores below 7.900 -- extremely impressive!
@@turbojon8117 most stable and consistent gymnast in paris2024 for sure
@@KatieBellinoIt’s interesting because China’s beam gymnast has competed a much higher difficulty in Chinese nationals (a 7.2 which is a crazy high SV) but had some struggles with beam in TF, so while her teammate QQY chose to go for the risk and did her high difficulty bars, ZYQ chose to hold back and do her easier difficulty. If Simone and Suni had stayed on, they could’ve slightly edged her out of a medal but I’m happy she was able to get a medal!
Europeans and Asians, when they practice its always silent. Even in their local Competitions, it is silent. Applause and noise, usually are done after a routine. US Gymnasts having Music during practice is probably their thing. So their body would naturally respond when there isnt any noise to the environment during a routine. So their reasoning is acceptable.
@@KnightGeneral try harder lol
That makes sense. Probably very cultural. I was thinking about how as a classical musician, we are trained to have people stare at us while it is silent. I consider Italy to have a culture rooted in classical music, so it makes sense that their two gymnasts might train/compete in a different atmosphere.
It wasn't only US gymnasts that fell. Brazil and Romania's gymnasts also fell. China's athlete who was expected to give basically a perfect routine and win gold didn't fall off but she did lose her balance and needed to use her hands to steady herself which resulted in a deduction. And it was never a problem at previous Olympics either.
Sabrina? Julia?
@@myang5168I almost wish ZYQ had just gone for her 7.2 beam routine, even with the wobble, as long as she executed it well, it would’ve upped her SV by six tenths.
Suni is extraordinary magnificent Fascinating 😊❤❤❤
They all fell at the same spot… there’s something wrong with the beam
Meditation is great practice to improve your response to silence 🧘♀️
Funny that from my point of view I enjoy to watch the routines with some silence after all has become a showtime everywhere. And I am glad that my favourite gymnast in the Olympics, Alice D'Amato, enjoyed the silence too since she delivers a well executed and champ attitude exercise.
Call me crazy but athlete safety and replicating an environment they're used to training in for 30-40 hours a week should hold more weight than your individual preference.
@@turbojon8117 it was a single event, usually for an all round competition there are multiple events going on so there is background noise . I don’t think the crowd was silent to sabotage the participants but rather to fully focusing on each participant. I wonder what the other said cause 4 out of 8 fell off the beam.
@turbojon8117 oh come on...because Usa gymnasts are used to train in a way it does not mean that everyone does the same. They fell mainly because it's Beam! Beam doesn't have favourites. It doesn't care if you are a Goat or a beginner. Noise or silence. It's the same Beam for everyone
@@larapasterniak4835 Are you under the impression that the crowd was ONLY shushing the USA gymnasts? Did you watch Voinea's routine?
@@nineexiq4828 I think the people shushing the gymnasts were completely inappropriate and out of line and very unknowledgeable about gymnastics, including when they shushed the Romanians.
Was it the beam final?? Its always dead quiet for beam finals. Qualies, team and AA have noise bc all events are going
Sorry to hear that happened
Others didn't fall off the beam. Simone and Suni Lee need to admit, they fell, it happens. I have seen you tube video's of Simone at her gym practicing and it was quiet so not sure why no music would be an issue. As elite athletes, they should be able to compete with music or without music. Personally, I have always found competitions and Olympics hectic and often thought they fell because of all the noise.
At least half the girls fell off the beam, I think one of the medal winners wobbled significantly and Rebeca did a basic routine cause she wanted to play it safe so she didn’t fall and didn’t win a medal, so if this is the reason, then it definitely had an impact on
She’s giving context to a mistake, not making excuses for it. Like if I said I got lung cancer cuz I smoke due to stress. Not an excuse, just context. These women would not achieve these levels of success if they weren’t able to hold themselves accountable.
@justinbanks2162 absolutely spot on with the accountability. 😂 infuriating watching likely under-achieving people criticize these professionals on nearly every aspect of their craft. It downplays the extreme dedication and mental fortitude they clearly have.
Did you watch the others bc more than just Suni and Simone did. What’s annoying about this comment though is they get asked a million questions and they answer honestly but ppl like you will still nitpick their answers and be like “oh they should know how to compete blah blah blah, they should own up to it blah blah blah”. They are literal Olympic athletes like come on, they know themselves and what they are doing.
just because others didn’t fall, doesn’t mean their reasons aren’t justified. they didn’t say “because there was no music, i fell, if there was music, i wouldn’t have fallen.” they said “having music and background noises makes it easier, and it was very stressful and awkward” it’s obvious that they did fall. as a gymnast, i can say for myself that having a little noise makes performing less stressful. maybe the other teams have other weaknesses.
So many people fell of the beam this year… it’s crazy
And how can we explain that 6 out of 8 gymnasts fell from high bar? In Tokyo it was 4 gymnasts down, including 2 falling twice.
Simone and Suni were a loser. It is obviously that they fell the same way
@@user-vx6yj5iw4z You're right -- losers with 3 gold, 1 silver, and 2 bronze medals between them 😂
They were probs tired + when you see other ppl ppl you think are really great fall it gets in your head and that leads to stuff thats usually second nature to feel very foreign. Leading to a lot more mistakes.
@@turbojon8117fr like what’s bro yapping about
I think it’s just exhaustion. For me, it’s no wonder that there were so many falls on the final events. And for some of the specialists, especially if they didn’t make the cut for AA and if they didn’t have a team, they’re waiting around for their sole event, it can be nerve wracking!
I thought they would train in all different environments, quiet loud etc. beam final is known to be quiet at Olympics.
How many Olympics have you participated in? 🤔
i thought it was weird how there wasn't any music or background sound. So it was just the olympic set up. Also it's not an excuse. People wanted to know, they explained their thought process. They can get used to it by training in silence in the future of course. It is what it is.
What people don't understand is a lot of Gymnast will practice and train under intense noised and loud music playing in the background just so they can get used to these loud music playing in the real world Competition. If you ever watched Gymnastics Competition you will always see there is a loud crowd cheering clapping and a lot of intense music playing while different girls are competing in different events at the same time whether it be floors High bars Vault and Beams. Even young girls will train under these intense and chaotic music playing just so they can get used to it during Competition Finals. But for some reason that day in the Event finals in Paris they decided not to play music which even Suni Lee said was so quiet that she could hear a phone ring go off . So it was nerve wrecking for these gymnast as that was only one event final and all eyes were on them which made them more nervous. The Paris Gymnastics Olympics probably turned the music off on purposed so the Americans could losed
They need to train themselves to focus on their routine at the expense of background noise or quiet.
@@maryjaneshoe-fm4yr True but a lot of times Competition Finals are really chaotic and noisy with background music which is why they trained that way . They were playing music in the Paris Team finals and individual Finals until this Beam Final which is the last day of competition they decided to ditch the music .
@@vk311z8Highly suspicious. The Paris Olympics were mostly horrible, imo.
It was silent during Alice D'Amato's routine too, not just during American performances. Don't be a sore loser.
This just sounds like making excuses. If you're not perfect in your routine so what? You're human, just admit it wasn't your best.
I was so nervous watching the beam and bar finals. Two apparatus back to back with most athletes falling down, it was such an unusual and nerve wrecking final to watch. I felt so bad for the athletes.
Maybe music or background music may bother other gymnasts so maybe the world doesn’t need to always work around USA’s gymnastics
Americans are the center of the universe.
???
center of the universe being dumb then u spread it
I’m sure your country has their own entertainment news channel that covers your country’s athletes, who no one gives af about.
I thought I'd be the opposite
Your obviously not a gymnast 😂
I honestly think that was the big part of Tokyo as well
They are amazing regardless ❤
The Chinese gymnast who medaled also made a major mistake , but she didn’t fall. That shows how brutal it was. The Brazilian Andrade did not make any glaring mistakes, but she was too cautious and it reduced her difficulty score because the routine lacked connections - she went last after all the carnage.
Nobody likes silence, no matter what they're doing, and no matter where they are. That's why people turn on the radio. I seem to be the only person who actually likes silence.
What you do is, focus on what you're doing. Ignore the fact it's silent, and do what you're doing.
I also love silence. Or the natural noises of what I do. Studying is more silent, cooking is noisier. I won't go into how it would be better for gymnasts, silence or not, but your comment drew my attention regarding life in general. Yes, people can't stand to be with themselves and their thoughts, it's like they're scared of themselves. Or they are trying to soak up more from life - why not find out the news or watch a show while also knitting. Society is pushing us to always wanting more on all levels. But there still are a few of us out there that enjoy a slow life and doing things mindfully one at a time. 😊
They need to add performance in silence to their training regimen. A lot of competitors in a lot types of competition have trouble with the silence. Makes you feel alone and vulnerable, plus makes room for over thinking. At least, that's my experience.
Too much powder on the beam on or near that same spot.
Sunisa Lee is ridicoulously pretty
Makes sense
Right
I understand gymnasts often train for beam with music/noise to mimic the buildings noises. Ideally though, training equally for both situations may be best: dead silence and noisy surroundings.❤
I understand many gymnasts train with noise/music to mimic the noise in the building/other routines occurring at the same time. Ideally though, they should be training both ways equally: dead silence and s
She’s my new crush❤️🥰
During Sabrina's exercise on beam there were a lot of screams from the audience! So odd ! 💯🤬
Silence create sliperiness?? New law of physics for team america 😮😊
They were cheering the every time Suni finished a move
Simone is a great athlete but she pushes blame for her mistakes on others. I'm glad Suni didn't at least push it to the officials like she did. Athletics are mental and physical. You have to prepare both. Simone failed in Tokyo because her mental wasn't prepared. It is the same here with the music. This doesn't mean they aren't great athletes overall. It doesn't mean that Simone didn't show great courage to admit it in Tokyo and step back. BUT, don't give excuses or push blame anywhere else. Use it to understand yourself, your own strengths and weaknesses. You didn't fully make it to the top in balance beam because you were not mentally on top. You still got a silver medal so yay!
They can have their mistakes, but it doesn't takes the credit they reached to be at the games.
Suni Lee seems to be better and gracefull than Jordan Chile's or Simon Biles but for some reason the media is not propping her up like they do for the other two.
Well obviously Suni’s not better than Simone as Simone puts more difficulty into her routines instead of playing it safe. There are lots of graceful gymnasts but that won’t win you a gold medal.
The fact that you actually think Suni is "better" than arguably the greatest Gymnast of all time is the real issue.
The judges are the ones who award the points not the media.
@@peacelove8395do you know what "arguably"means?
I accidentally watched the first part of this on 2x speed 😭
I live outside of the US, and for us, we always say "Americans are loud " - like, literally they talk loud, and everything that they do needs to scream attention.
If they get music for floor, why not for beam?
درود و سپاس از اطلاعرسانی وروشنگری ❤❤❤
I said immediately that something was up! It was so not like them
Sorta sounds like a lame statement. Shawn's sets were so silent and majority of the gymnast in the world. Americans always have excuses
The Brazilian Julia Soares said the same thing too. So not an American excuse.
It’s always dead silent for the beam final. In Atlanta, the Russians complained the cheers from the American crowd caused them to fall off the beam. Excuses, excuses. Just admit you cracked under the pressure. It’s okay…it’s a daunting apparatus…but quit blaming “silence”.
They could put on earbuds if they need some background music if allowed.
Simple solution…bring the U.S. Men gymnasts to the audience - they always scream their heads off during routines.
It was the beam because the color of the mat was the bean color
so they are not thinking of a song in their heads even though they are doing choreography? because the non acrobatics parts look so awkward without music.
They need to start practising in silence so they get used to it
It would have been better if you played the video of both their routine and how quiet it was for those nn the comments who think they know everything.
Versus you talking and just showing a clip here and there.
Stick to your Hollywood entertainment and leave the Olympics and real news to the professional journalists.
I mean the Chinese gymnast Zhou Yaqin also grabbed the beam and I don't think the Chinese is used to competing in a noisy environment so probably not the true reason lol... Beam is slippery maybe?
This makes no sense.....
How do you win a medal if you fell off the beam?
Typical American excuse.
Nah that beam was hexed!
I thought her pantyhose/tights were slippery. Not sure why they wear them around their feet.
I think they should of whipped that beam off or something how did almost everyone fall
Nope. She and Simone fell off because they lost their balance. There were gymnasts who successfully did their beam routine. Blaming the environment and lack of sound instead of owning up to your mistakes and failure on beam is just ridiculous. Someone won gold, someone one silver, someone won bronze, someone came in 4th all without music and in a silent arena.
Exactly, own up to your mistakes not give excuses.
They lost their balance because they were nervous. It happens. I watched the final, and ALL of them were nervous. It's not just a physical sport. It's mental, too. Apparently, the environment just messed with their head.
Someone asked her what happened to make her fall, so she explained the situation. She explained how the unusual silence made her more nervous than usual. Hence, she lost her balance. Nowhere in either statement did either of these women BLAME anyone/anything for their falls. They literally answered a question they were asked. Sheesh, your whole comment is dripping with bitterness towards these two ladies. I don’t know what they did to make you so spiteful, but I can assure you that they couldn’t care less about what you or I are saying about them right now. They’re more successful than any of us in the comments will ever be. 😂 Don’t let it get you too heated, butterfly788~ ❤
@@dmgfoto4508No excuse, but a reason.

Excuse over excuse
Du er meget ddygtg 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Because she wants Pho😂
reasons 🤣🤣🤣
The first rules of the balance beam is don't fall, the balance beam is the same , the crowd is the same for all.... strangely when something goes wrong for not Usa athletes is normal, when something goes wrong for Usa athletes is caused by one of these:
METEO
CROWD
ALIENS
SPIRITS
TOO SILENCE
TOO LOUD
FOOD
TEMPERATURE
RELIGION ISSUE
PRESSURE
...
For the Americans it is unthinkable that they could not win but can happen
That’s why they invited that white girl amber rose to the RNC - they were prepping them for this
Dude such an excuse because 2020 was that way
blaming the audience is off-putting to me
Womp womp
They’re not blaming the audience. They’re saying they’re used to having more background noise. Every other international competition there is music on in the background in event finals
They were blaming the lack of music. Simone asked but was denied by officials. They weren’t even blaming the audience.
@@Chels-fz5uq Are they used to having background noise comparable to an Olympic audience when they're practising? Guessing it's much more quiet when they're training on their own so it's surprising they haven't adapted. Or maybe they use music as someone else said
@@Chels-fz5uq they blamed the audience. Simone said multiple times "they were shushing too much". Then they blamed the lack of background noise in the arena. Just own your mistake and move on.
it’s because americans are too loud. in europe during gymnastics competitions the crowd is in silence to respect the athletes and not distract them, while americans always shout so americans gymnasts are used to the noise
But the noise is not an excuse. From vault to floor to uneven bars, the crowd was dead silent during the routine. Both of them fell in the most difficult which is the balance beam, that say a lot about their the skills compared to the Chinese and Italians. Gymnastics is simply dominated by eastern europeans and Asians, and still is.
Because they forgot to take their "asthma" meds?
womp womp
The balance beam is a lot harder than floor and vault. Floor and vault, you just have to use strength and has lots of room for errors, but the beam requires precision, techinicality, fluidity and artistry. The Americans here are just making excuses for their poor beam preparations and lack of precision. Don’t make the crowd as an excuse now, it is your responsibility to perform regardless of the crowd.
Yeah right! That’s why….poor girls! 😂
Excuses?
They were cheering the every time Suni finished a move
They were answering a question asked by an interviewer
Excuses.
Let’s see you go

@shadowshibe5962
Where were you during this competition?
Du er Mehmet ddugyg🌷🌹🌷🌹
Gold or boyfriend she packed second one so she went off the beam
Yeah, sure blamed the silence when they failed but not when they won. Next time, ask bring a long a recorded crowd noise to play when they compete or complain to the judges for the silence. Real losers!!!
Nah dude, you are the loser.
They JUST SAID in the video that they've spoken to the judges several time. Next time, watch the actual videos.
Also good job on showing everyone you didn't actually watch the Olympics by calling them losers. They both have SEVERAL medals from this year's Olympics in different categories.
@@melodramatic7904 how did China and Italy manage to stay on the beam. Hmmm was it the silence?
@@clarifyingquestions because they are the best regardless of silent or noisy audience🥇🥇🥇
@@tomwong1517 Could also be because some girls do better when it is silent . And like i said Sime Biles / and Americans thrive better under intense pressure and noise since that is how Gymnastics Competition is in the USA
If the Karolyi’s were around these gymnasts wouldn’t have a problem competing in silence. They were all about mental fortitude. Oh how so quickly it’s changed.
So American, complained and appealed everything. 🤣
simply not sufficient practice :D
Nope they worked just as hard as anyone else. Just a really off day overall.
Puuleese
ADHD drug wore off
You are Pathetic grow up!
Maybe they should've just quit. Simon and others know alittle about that.
Yeah Simone should definitely quit winning 3 gold medals this year …. You’re a clown you know that right?
Just say you're racist and get it over with.
She doesn't care about these silly comments She will be remember for making history you just making a fool if yourself making comments because you a Hater LOL!!!
no one cares
Maybe not you, some people care.
Hater get a life!!
Makes sense
