Let's all take a moment to appreciate the Chinese crowd at this Championships: they were a welcoming and appreciative audience to every gymnast, not just their own.
withlove312 The other countries paid attention to the others but do they get any recognition? They cheered louder for their own team then the others for their team. You should not be praised to be respectful, it should be expected.
Yellow Sunshine Um ok, I'm not sure why you are telling me this. Are you weirdly offended by my comment or trying to make an arbitrary point? And actually, it is not always the case that other countries pay attention to gymnasts not their own (think Atlanta for the most egregious example).
I am not "weirdly offended" or making an arbitrary point. My point was that China was being obnoxiously loud. Other countries may or might not have paid attention to other countries, but you wouldn't know because they did not show it. I think using Atlanta is your arbitrary pint because it does not apply to this situation. The over cheering seemed disrespectful to me. plain and simple. I saw your opinion and this is mine.
*SPOILER* As much as my heart soared for Larissa Iordache is how much it sank for Aliya Mustafina. Bitter sweet championships. The bee chasing Simone at the end was absolutely PERFECT.
I know this is old but I agree. I love iordache, mustafina, and Simone and it hurt to see mustafina fall. She looked ill in this competition so she probably wasn't able to give her all. Seeing them all have great sportsmanship was wonderful though.
@@murasakino101Aliya actually was sick during these championships unfortunately. Pretty amazing how she was able to tough it through everything as she did.
I feel bad for aliyah after watching the interview. She was so under the weather she said she barely remembers these finals. But she still did an amazing job as per usual. Simone is just amazing and I'm in awe! Larissa is phenomenal and Kyla proves consistency and almost flawless execution pays off! She hasn't stopped since her debut on the senior elite team and it shows! I am certain she's going to be working on her upgrades and wow..just wow! This was a great competition. Congratulations team USA, Larissa iordache and all the competitors
did anyone notice that the female announcer seemed relieved whenever Simone made a slight misstep or seemed out of breath at the end of a routine? It seems it's hard for many to love a winner. She deserves all that she's achieved. Go Simone!
I know! Everyone else has a balance check and she overlooks it, or sometimes says, "Great job holding on to the beam." Simone lifts her foot half an inch to catch her balance and the announcer zeroes in on it.
Christine Sell, Alice Kinsella’s coach. In 2023 she literally laughed when Simone Biles had a wobble on her Mount. She is so biased towards team GB. People may not like US commentators and that’s fine but they don’t have gymnasts who are competing commentating. Conflict of interest and totally unprofessional! IMO
People complain about the bias in NBC announcing (and there is, trust me but they never disrespect other athletes- especially now that Elfie is gone) but this was on another level. They were so biased towards British athletes- and honestly Europeans in general. Christine was almost rude a few times towards non European athletes.
For those who are still criticizing Kyla's low difficulty: she's had injuries, you dolts. And one was right before the Championships. Her approach is called strategy. Why pile on more difficulty than she can handle and risk re-injury? Her coaches know what they are doing.
Kadison Mills Your point? Did you take into consideration that she has grown much taller since the Olympics? That she's long-legged, which make it harder to do certain skills, particularly the power ones?
A message for Laura Whem. Even though you got 24 you are still the 24th best gymnast in the world and that’s something big, it may not be the best but it’s big. This goes for all athletes who won 24th
I just love gymnastics! The dedication and hard work these athletes put in is so wonderful! I love watching it even though I can't even do a simple cartwheel! Thank goodness they can!
wgrroseberry you should join it’s really fun, and a little bit scary. I can’t do stuff at there level but on Balt my highest skill is a front handspring over the vaulting board. On bars my biggest skill is a spotted flyaway. On Bear my highest is a cartwheel, or braney. And on floor a round off double backhand spring. So that’s my level, no where close to Olympic level but it’s fun
It's amazing to see such good sportsmanship and friendship between two wondeful ladies. They always comment on each other's Instagram posts, it's adorable.
I was a definite fan of Brown's (Australia) floor routine something about it just grabbed me. I really liked that turn sequence (Full to illusion turn). If she ups her difficultly, she can be in Exercise Finals, she just has such artistry.
kyla was great all night! very clean... BUT she would have missed that bronze if mustafina didn't have mistakes on beam/floor. i hope she ups the difficulty and really goes for it if she goes all the way to rio! great job usa!!!!!!
As good as the British commentators are, they are far from perfect or unbiased. They are practically jingoistic when talking about the British girls, and Christine often goes out of her way to point out that Biles isn't graceful. The comparison between Larisa and Simone and the implications therein before the final rotation was quite wrong and unnecessary.
***** The only difference between Biles and Iordache is their build. Iordache has a slimmer body, but there is very little difference between how she and Biles move. It's called body bias.
I totally agree. I actually prefer the NBC commenters, they talk less and are hard about the facts. No commenter is perfect because they bring their own personality into the job but i totally agree. I have noticed for years how they point out the british girls and their 'amazing' performences and grace but when a american is performing its ungraceful and they point out the hops lol which i have no problem with but point out the flaws with everyone haha.
***** I am the opposite, I prefer BBC over NBC. Elfie was god awful and Al is an idiot. Tim has great technical knowledge, but he often chooses not to utilize it or it takes a back seat in favor of glossy commercial hype, manufactured melodrama and things that have no relevance to the competition. Nastia is more classy and could be very good if she weren't paired with buffons. But I agree about the BBC having some obvious bias; they take the grace=artistry route, yet they hail their own gymnast, Claudia Fragapane, as artistic when she is no more graceful than Biles. And they do exaggerate a lot about how good the British girls' routines are executed.
***** Using "it's my opinion" is a bit of a cop out. Your entitled to your own opinion but you are not entitled to your own facts. You like Larisa. Great. I do too. But the fact is she is not elegant. You don't need to be an expert to see that.
how can Mustafina have better score than Larisa on vault when her knee was bent ..? they were both slightly off the center .. Larisa had better landing too.
No, the landings were exactly the same. They both had a tiny little shuffle and the reason is because Mustafina gets more height off the vaulting table than Iordache and the Judges deduct for lack of height and amplitude as the british commentors mention. As for form errors they both have them if you look at the slow motion reply. Larisa is a tiny bit cleaner but Mustafina's double is cleaner than it was last years.
@@susandilaudo9534 she's done an amanar in the past so you're certainly right. Not sure why she stopped competing it though. I know she had injuries in the past but she never went back to it after she healed.
I love the way Mustafina breathes before starting a routine, similar to the breathing that the Russian rhythmic gymnasts are taught to do before they compete to relieve tension
It’s an interesting- and clearly effective- technique. It’s much like when an athlete places a hand on their stomach before a routine- settles the nerves.
Kyla was also suffering with a pulled groin this time so it is interesting that she medaled with that. I think she will upgrade FX when she is healed. She is so consistent. I love that. If she doesn't upgrade, I don't see her making it to Rio. I'm happy she won the bronze though. Good for her. Sad to see Mustafina fall. I think she is just worn out.
Heather Wicker It's okay if Kyla doesn't make Rio for me. She did the whole senior thing backward with the Olympics first and then Worlds. She's more accomplished than most US gymnasts already.
I'm afraid Kyla medaled because Aliya had an uncharacteristic mistake on floor and sat down one of her tumbling passes. If Aliya had hit her routine, Kyla would have finished out of the medals.
You're probably right. If both Aliya and Kyla hit all their routines, Aliya would have come out on top because of her much higher difficulty. I think the writing was on the wall for Kyla here- she needed to improve her difficulty to remain competitive, OR rely on mistakes made by her competitors. It's really too bad that increasing her difficulty made her markedly less consistent. Happily, she had an amazing NCAA career at UCLA!
I’m so used to gymnasts competing at home getting the most applause. There was an obvious difference between the applause for the Chinese athletes and the others. The same happened at the London 2012 and Beijing 2008.
Ok British Commentators don't know what they are talking about: 1. Nobody from the London 2012 American team officially retired. 2. Aliya Mustafina tore her ACL at the 2011 European Championships not the 2011 world championships. 3. Vanessa Ferrari didn't win bronze on floor at the 2012 olympics, Aliya Mustafina did.
011cra I vaguely remember her trying to come back either 2014 or 2015. I think I remember Shawn decided not to come back. Frankly unless she comes back as her old self, she probably won't make the team unless Kyla drops even more of her already too low SV's. I'm not sure how good Gabby is these days. The only think I read is she is not nearly as good as she was when she won 2012 Olympics AA.
English commentary is so much better than American commentary, can we have them do all broadcasts? They focus on the technical bits of the gymnastics and it's lovely.
Gosh, I feel like Mustafina's floor could be so artistic and unique since she spends more time dancing than most of the other gymnasts (who focus more on the tumbling) but she has this permanent sad-eyed expression throughout the whole thing that makes it feel like she's just going through the motions. I know she's exerting herself, but still!
Commentators mismanage expectations a bit at the end. After Iordache's routine, Mustafina didn't really have the difficulty to win (needed well over a 15) but would've been looking for a solid routine to move ahead of Ross.
Seeing Giulia Steingruber's bar set, I definitely think it can use improvement such as brushing her feet on the ground during the transition. and missing that pirouette. I think Steingruber is a power athlete, meaning that she does better on the power events like floor and vault.
Larisa did so phenomenal! I mean, next year Simone better watch out because Larisa not only has much more portential on BB (as seen at nationals) which would make up the difference Simon gain over her on VT but she can also post a huge 6.5 routine and FX just likes biles.
yawn... larissa will be taller bigger and i gaurantee she has NO chance of beating simone next year... maybe someone else.. a new junior turned senior but no larissa haha. nope. but it will very difficult for anyone to beat simone unless she falls or is injured.
Janet B Well all I've seen is improvement after improvement from Larisa since the olympics. I mean, she seems to have reached pretty much peak on Floor but she definitely has more potential on Bars and Beam so since Simone might be upgrading as well, Larisa doesn't have a huge chance but she definitely does have on. She is really really good.
Janet B Yea, but Larisa seems to have the best chance from the internationals. Mustafina seems pretty much at her physical peak. Infact, she downgraded since last years worlds on bars instead of upgrading and Yao is just too weak on floor and Vault. Iordache has the best chance if healths permits.
011cra well there just aren't many at all at the top let alone to compete with Simone. However I must politely disagree with you. I think if anyone can beat Simone it will come from another American. Mainly juniors who turn senior next year. Perhaps Baily Key. Especially if she is doing a 2 and half on vault next year. I just see her easily passing both lordache, Mustafina, Ross, and pushing Simone to be perfect or else she Baily could win over her... I feel agree Musafina is at her peak but I feel lordache is also at her peak and a year from now is a long time.
MsJubjubbird I think about all of these young girls when they get to their 40's, every single Senior Intl. Elite gymnast's joints and backs are going to be just brutal!
Olympic AA champion 10 years after this competition and still going very strong… I’d say she held up well (especially after getting her mental health in good standing again).
its amazing and awesome to see how far simone has come!! she has gone from barely beating out iordache to absolutely CRUSHING the competition now (she whipped everyone at the rio olympics)...she is at a point now where every other gymnast in the world thinks about placing SECOND not first!!!! she is just the best gymnast EVER including kohei!! she is just so much more exciting to watch than any other gymnast incl.(kohei)!!! there is also something ive NEVER liked about mustafina... she just looks so sour all the time she could barely muster a hug for simone i just dont like her..she almost seems like a sore loser or something and i know you all will say its just her demeanor and her consetrating but she just does not seem friendly at all to me ESPECIALLY to the AMERICAN gymnast... i like iordaches personality but NOT MUSTAFINA!!!!!!!
You are very biased and plain wrong. Aliya has always congratulated Biles and every other competitor, even when she lost a medal herself. She is an introvert and does not go laughing out loud like some other gymnasts who have a personality just like that, but she's always polite, kind and supportive to her teammates and competitors alike. Also, she doesn't really understand English, but she tries to express her support like in 2012, she gave a really sweet kiss and thumbs up to Aly Raisman.
I really wish the commentators would be more specific and accurate about skill names! No, that is not the Shaposhnikova, it's a variation called Komova II.
im sorry but aliya seems like quite a bitch to me dont like her at all... i like iordache's personality she seems very nice and friendly but NOT mustafina ill be happy when she retires and i dont have to look at her sour face all the time!!!! GO SIMONE BEST GYMNAST EVERRR including (KOHEI)!!!!!
@@deborahporter9731 A little late for the reply. Consider the Language barrier. Musty cannot speak or barely speaks English. Also, she has been sick since the start, and was seen coughing and sneezing and just trying to do as much as she can. She's a really nice person and far from bitchy. And her fellow gymnasts can attest to that.
Okay so I just wanna start a thread here: Podium predictions for Glasgow?? Team: 1. USA 2. Russia/ China (can't decide) AA: 1. Biles (duh) 2. Key/ Mustafina (depends on who has a better day) 3. Iordache (is she even competing this year?) Vault: 1. Biles 2. ??? 3. Paseka??? I honestly have no idea Uneven bars: 1. Jinnan?? 2. Komova 3. Mustafina/ Downie? Balance Beam: 1. Iordache (if only god was this good) 2. ??? 3. ??? (Insert American new American senior) Floor: 1. Biles 2. Raisman 3. ????? Honestly I'm just spitballing here guys please help
Jason Shaughnessy Team I would totally agree, depend on the day for Russia and China. AA: 1st: Biles (definetly, also it is a little boring to know the winner is already chosen) 2nd: Iordache/Mustafina/ one American (I would rather say Nichols or Douglas than Key (Key does not have the difficulty nor the scores to challenge the others for a medal) Vault: 1st Biles is possible, but also is Hong Un Jong (She has more difficulty on her vaults and her execution is not too bad either) for the rest of the medals it could be Paseka, but I think vault is very hard to make a prediction, beacuse of the landing that day. Wang Yan also has some pretty vaults (maybe she can get the bronze or at least I hope)UB: Jinnan is unfortunately out. 1st: Huang Huidan, Mustafina 2nd/3rd: Spiridonova/Komova (she is back) and there are also some new chinese team members, Fan Yilin is possible on any medal position. Beam: 1st: I wish it is Iordache (unfortunately Beam Finals didn´t do her much justice in the past few years), Biles is possible, so is Shang Chunsong (but she seems not to get the scores she deserves) I would not count the Russians out. Some other Chinese also can challenge (Wang Yan if she is consistent). Floor: I think all can agree that this title is already Biles! 2nd: Raisman/Afanaseva (she is also back) 3rd: Iordache (or maybe 2nd again)So this would be my prediction.
+KseniaSemenovaFan I think I agree that Key needs to be taken out and replaced with Nichols/Douglas/ Raisman in the all around. I personally would peg Mustafina to win UB this year but the Chinese always seem to pull something out on that apparatus. Vault and Floor for me are Biles'. And Beam is a toss up. I could picture various people winning that events so I'm scared to make a prediction.
+KseniaSemenovaFan remember though...all just took floor over Simone, so never know. never count all out, as she also proved with her bronze on beam in London 😀
you know a wall in England looks much different than a wall in the usa? lol!!!! Cats look WAY different in england than the usa... oh you gotta see the turtles too!!!! ahhahahaha
Before Shang Chunsong was recruited by the Chinese gymnastics team, she suffered from malnutrition, due to her family being quite poor. That's why she is so tiny and short.
im sorry but ive NEVER seen a chinese gymnast that looked over 10 yrs old!! its very unfair because i DO NOT believe that the chinese gymnast are of age!!!!
Kenya Williams Oh please just stop saying the Chinese gymnasts are malnourished because it's untrue! Chinese or generally Asian people are smaller and slimmer because of the genetics ! That is not because they don't feed themselves ! Even if Shang Chunsong was from a poor family and it's why she is so tiny...
Let's all take a moment to appreciate the Chinese crowd at this Championships: they were a welcoming and appreciative audience to every gymnast, not just their own.
Um actually they cheered louder for their own gymnasts.
CPBannnna800 Which is perfectly fine; they didn't take it to ludicrous levels and payed plenty of attention to the other gymnasts as well.

A fun drinking game for you and your friends: Take a sip every time they come up with a new way to pronounce Yao Jinnan's name!

I didnt say anything about her being as tall as Kyla, I was just saying she is taller than most gymnasts. but whatever
A message for Laura Whem. Even though you got 24 you are still the 24th best gymnast in the world and that’s something big, it may not be the best but it’s big. This goes for all athletes who won 24th
Exactly. Just making a final is an accomplishment for everyone.
I feel bad for Aliya, Russia is wearing her out because they have no one else to count on. She needs a break.
True
Simone's reaction to the bed was definitely her best performance, I laughed so hard omg
No one wants to see bees, honey or bumble, in their floral bouquets. Phobia over bees or not.
What bed?

5 years late, but Mustafina's block is ridiculously good. u can tell she is (was) capable of another 1/2 twist, just from her block.
her form is inferior, but her height is superior, which seems to be more of a priority in scoring for whatever reason

You're probably right. If both Aliya and Kyla hit all their routines, Aliya would have come out on top because of her much higher difficulty. I think the writing was on the wall for Kyla here- she needed to improve her difficulty to remain competitive, OR rely on mistakes made by her competitors. It's really too bad that increasing her difficulty made her markedly less consistent. Happily, she had an amazing NCAA career at UCLA!
That bee moment is forever an iconic moment in gymnastics history 😂
Love the Chinese crowd. So damn welcoming & friendly.
Did anyone else get signal loss ?
Maddie Cooper Yes. Happens several times for all the films for this competition.
I love Larissa yodoce don't blame me for spelling her last name incorrect I'm bad at spelling in other languages
Me
Yes I did, 2020 Jajajja, grettings over there, from Mexico
Did you guys hear simone saying "Good job, Larisa" at 1:32:11? AWWW
She also said “ Good Job” to Mustafina 😊
@@runrgrl35 Yess their sportsmanship is sweet. It's nice to see gymnasts congratulate each other. I remember it not being as welcoming back then
Love the support they all give each other. Shame not all sports competitors are like that.
Giulia steinberger is one of my faves! I loved her floor routine so much! Deserves a higher score. I hope to see her again in 2020
She is so elegant!
Kyla giving Marta side eye, I love it.
as she should
Love Iorache. Btw somebody can tell whats the song in minute 38:00 pls?
The bee video starts at 2:26:13 ☺ Yah welcome!
I’m so used to gymnasts competing at home getting the most applause. There was an obvious difference between the applause for the Chinese athletes and the others. The same happened at the London 2012 and Beijing 2008.
Who else is upset that Catalina Ponor, Yao Jinnan, and Aliya Mustafina won't be at Worlds this year?! Uuggghhhhhh
me!! but I am excited to see how kimova does!!
I came for the bee.
same. so wholesome
Claudia Fragapane's floor routine was AWESOME.
Ok British Commentators don't know what they are talking about:
1. Nobody from the London 2012 American team officially retired.
2. Aliya Mustafina tore her ACL at the 2011 European Championships not the 2011 world championships.
3. Vanessa Ferrari didn't win bronze on floor at the 2012 olympics, Aliya Mustafina did.
UPDATE: Jordyn Wieber did retire but not until March 2015. This video was filmed in October 2014.
Brett526 They do make A LOT of errors but they are a heck of a lot better than NBC and their rude and pessimistic comments of everyone not American.
Brett526 Didn't Shawn retired?
Vette gaddia she wasn't part of the 2012 team
011cra I vaguely remember her trying to come back either 2014 or 2015. I think I remember Shawn decided not to come back. Frankly unless she comes back as her old self, she probably won't make the team unless Kyla drops even more of her already too low SV's. I'm not sure how good Gabby is these days. The only think I read is she is not nearly as good as she was when she won 2012 Olympics AA.
Claudia's floor is so entertaining. I can't wait to see if she'll be changing her routine in the coming years!
around 1:32:00 that was soo cute simone and kyla said "good job larisa"
English commentary is so much better than American commentary, can we have them do all broadcasts? They focus on the technical bits of the gymnastics and it's lovely.
The guard in the floor exercise of the Australian girl rolled his eyes at the end 😂 39:01
Gosh, I feel like Mustafina's floor could be so artistic and unique since she spends more time dancing than most of the other gymnasts (who focus more on the tumbling) but she has this permanent sad-eyed expression throughout the whole thing that makes it feel like she's just going through the motions. I know she's exerting herself, but still!
yeah she wasn't feeling well. Also it was such a shocker to see her fall on her first tumbling pass 😱
5 yrs late to reply. Sorry. But Musty has been sick during this competition. She was coughing and sneezing since the start of the competition.
Commentators mismanage expectations a bit at the end. After Iordache's routine, Mustafina didn't really have the difficulty to win (needed well over a 15) but would've been looking for a solid routine to move ahead of Ross.
Seeing Giulia Steingruber's bar set, I definitely think it can use improvement such as brushing her feet on the ground during the transition. and missing that pirouette. I think Steingruber is a power athlete, meaning that she does better on the power events like floor and vault.
I notice that some ppl in the audience are excited to see Simone's performance 👀👏
Btw did she just try to hand the bee the flowers 😂
1:38:46 (just a little bookmark for me)
10:52 lordache making the sign of the cross ❤️
Claudia had the coolest floor routine I've ever seen
Yes! I am obsessed with it
I thought id be done watching this by now, but it's 2022 and I'm watching this for 7th time since 2014 or is it the 8th time? I think i need help 😭
I LOVED THE ILLUSION💕💕💕💕
Larisa did so phenomenal! I mean, next year Simone better watch out because Larisa not only has much more portential on BB (as seen at nationals) which would make up the difference Simon gain over her on VT but she can also post a huge 6.5 routine and FX just likes biles.
yawn... larissa will be taller bigger and i gaurantee she has NO chance of beating simone next year... maybe someone else.. a new junior turned senior but no larissa haha. nope. but it will very difficult for anyone to beat simone unless she falls or is injured.
Janet B Well all I've seen is improvement after improvement from Larisa since the olympics. I mean, she seems to have reached pretty much peak on Floor but she definitely has more potential on Bars and Beam so since Simone might be upgrading as well, Larisa doesn't have a huge chance but she definitely does have on. She is really really good.
i agree... true... i dunno though. def has her work cutout for her tahee! :)
Janet B Yea, but Larisa seems to have the best chance from the internationals. Mustafina seems pretty much at her physical peak. Infact, she downgraded since last years worlds on bars instead of upgrading and Yao is just too weak on floor and Vault. Iordache has the best chance if healths permits.
011cra well there just aren't many at all at the top let alone to compete with Simone. However I must politely disagree with you. I think if anyone can beat Simone it will come from another American. Mainly juniors who turn senior next year. Perhaps Baily Key. Especially if she is doing a 2 and half on vault next year. I just see her easily passing both lordache, Mustafina, Ross, and pushing Simone to be perfect or else she Baily could win over her... I feel agree Musafina is at her peak but I feel lordache is also at her peak and a year from now is a long time.
Kyla standing next to Simone! It's almost a whole extra foot!
The meme of all memes: Simone dodging a bee.
Simone is a powerful gymnast but I wonder how long she can keep that style of gymnastics up. That must be so taxing on the body.
MsJubjubbird I think about all of these young girls when they get to their 40's, every single Senior Intl. Elite gymnast's joints and backs are going to be just brutal!
Nate B I know. And it gets rougher and rougher every year. And most of them are past their prime in their 20s
Well turns out for more than a decade
Still going strong and continuing to dominate all around her. Keep killing it Queen Simone.
Olympic AA champion 10 years after this competition and still going very strong… I’d say she held up well (especially after getting her mental health in good standing again).
As amazing as it was for Biles to win another gold medal the bee was better....
the bee was better? waht about the pig? and the cat? i mean huh? hahaha. no one has ANY idea waht you are talkin bout lady...
If you watched the medal ceremony there was a bee in her flowers bouquet.
OMG i was laughing so loud about the bee. It was the best part.
IKR
Don't be rude, you're the one who should have watched the medal ceremony
Might want to check your signal...
Why is it called a sheep's jump? I can't think of anything that looks less like a sheep.
justcogitating no idea, why is a wolf jump called a old jump
Great question 🙄 (even though I've seen this sport for like 20 yrs..).
Because of sheep’s horns shape
Because of the woman who did it first, her last name was sheep, but her execution on the skill would not get credit at all today
is anyone else seeing the "signal loss detected" from kyla's vault to steingruber's beam? or is that just me?
I did, it was extremely irritating
Same *****, and sometimes was fuzzy. Like if there is a bad storm around.
No mine too
Nikki Yamamoto it,s not gust you I got it to
Watch the ceremony... you won't be disappointed....
LOZ floor music at 42:35. Super cool!
its amazing and awesome to see how far simone has come!! she has gone from barely beating out iordache to absolutely CRUSHING the competition now (she whipped everyone at the rio olympics)...she is at a point now where every other gymnast in the world thinks about placing SECOND not first!!!! she is just the best gymnast EVER including kohei!! she is just so much more exciting to watch than any other gymnast incl.(kohei)!!! there is also something ive NEVER liked about mustafina... she just looks so sour all the time she could barely muster a hug for simone i just dont like her..she almost seems like a sore loser or something and i know you all will say its just her demeanor and her consetrating but she just does not seem friendly at all to me ESPECIALLY to the AMERICAN gymnast... i like iordaches personality but NOT MUSTAFINA!!!!!!!
You are very biased and plain wrong. Aliya has always congratulated Biles and every other competitor, even when she lost a medal herself. She is an introvert and does not go laughing out loud like some other gymnasts who have a personality just like that, but she's always polite, kind and supportive to her teammates and competitors alike. Also, she doesn't really understand English, but she tries to express her support like in 2012, she gave a really sweet kiss and thumbs up to Aly Raisman.
I really wish the commentators would be more specific and accurate about skill names! No, that is not the Shaposhnikova, it's a variation called Komova II.
Is anyone else experiencing some really weird glitches?
Yea like every 10 seconds... No big deal😒😒
es muy buena
Really admire how they concentrate on the beam with the floor exercise music so loud.
I hope to see Simone biles and women's team USA 🇺🇸 and men's USA 🇺🇸 team at gymnastics competition in Paris France 🇫🇷 2024
I thought the bars were going to fall apart during Yao Jinnan’s routine.
aww simone trying to cheer aliya up. Ah my heart my bbys 😖😖
im sorry but aliya seems like quite a bitch to me dont like her at all... i like iordache's personality she seems very nice and friendly but NOT mustafina ill be happy when she retires and i dont have to look at her sour face all the time!!!! GO SIMONE BEST GYMNAST EVERRR including (KOHEI)!!!!!
She was sick. She's actually super sweet to everyone. She's just a hard competitor.
@@deborahporter9731 nono Aliya's actually really nice, she just wasn't feeling well that day
@@deborahporter9731 A little late for the reply. Consider the Language barrier. Musty cannot speak or barely speaks English. Also, she has been sick since the start, and was seen coughing and sneezing and just trying to do as much as she can. She's a really nice person and far from bitchy. And her fellow gymnasts can attest to that.
23:47 is that the Zelda Theme?
+Bdg1991 yes, Elsa García from Mexico had it :)
steingruber's gymnastics reminds me so much of Brandy Johnson, eapecially on floor
So mad that they showed alla's shitty beam over Larisa and her 14.9 bar routine. That's the best damn bar routine she's ever done
simone is a boss!
very impressive release skills from Ellie Black !
Please fix the sound... this is great to watch but the sound is not good 👍
Larisa Iordache... ❤️
Why is the USA Gymnastics channel using footage with British Commentators??
don't complain, enjoy it lol
The sound and picture quality of this broadcast, is utter crap.
at first it seemed fine, then i got what you meant lmao
Fix the sound it's really bad 😔
How tall is Kyla Ross?
5ft 4 ... apparantly
Lindsey Stirling Zelda Medley :D
they bring out the top 8 now? #ohbrother
snofagun1814 it’s just China who does that
I think this was also done in the 2007 World's too.
Next year it is my hope that Bailie Key will be on the podium w/ Simone and Larisa, I definitely would love that.
Okay so I just wanna start a thread here:
Podium predictions for Glasgow??
Team:
1. USA
2. Russia/ China (can't decide)
AA:
1. Biles (duh)
2. Key/ Mustafina (depends on who has a better day)
3. Iordache (is she even competing this year?)
Vault:
1. Biles
2. ???
3. Paseka??? I honestly have no idea
Uneven bars:
1. Jinnan??
2. Komova
3. Mustafina/ Downie?
Balance Beam:
1. Iordache (if only god was this good)
2. ???
3. ??? (Insert American new American senior)
Floor:
1. Biles
2. Raisman
3. ?????
Honestly I'm just spitballing here guys please help
Ellie black has a really difficult beam routine and made the event finals last year and now her start value is the second highest behind Simone biles
Yao Jinnan is out this after her shoulder surgery, I believe.
Jason Shaughnessy Team I would totally agree, depend on the day for Russia and China. AA: 1st: Biles (definetly, also it is a little boring to know the winner is already chosen) 2nd: Iordache/Mustafina/ one American (I would rather say Nichols or Douglas than Key (Key does not have the difficulty nor the scores to challenge the others for a medal) Vault: 1st Biles is possible, but also is Hong Un Jong (She has more difficulty on her vaults and her execution is not too bad either) for the rest of the medals it could be Paseka, but I think vault is very hard to make a prediction, beacuse of the landing that day. Wang Yan also has some pretty vaults (maybe she can get the bronze or at least I hope)UB: Jinnan is unfortunately out. 1st: Huang Huidan, Mustafina 2nd/3rd: Spiridonova/Komova (she is back) and there are also some new chinese team members, Fan Yilin is possible on any medal position. Beam: 1st: I wish it is Iordache (unfortunately Beam Finals didn´t do her much justice in the past few years), Biles is possible, so is Shang Chunsong (but she seems not to get the scores she deserves) I would not count the Russians out. Some other Chinese also can challenge (Wang Yan if she is consistent). Floor: I think all can agree that this title is already Biles! 2nd: Raisman/Afanaseva (she is also back) 3rd: Iordache (or maybe 2nd again)So this would be my prediction.
+KseniaSemenovaFan I think I agree that Key needs to be taken out and replaced with Nichols/Douglas/ Raisman in the all around. I personally would peg Mustafina to win UB this year but the Chinese always seem to pull something out on that apparatus. Vault and Floor for me are Biles'. And Beam is a toss up. I could picture various people winning that events so I'm scared to make a prediction.
+KseniaSemenovaFan remember though...all just took floor over Simone, so never know. never count all out, as she also proved with her bronze on beam in London 😀
Parabéns Ana Filipa Martins
British commentary with an American type video? That's a cool thing :) I like it.
you know a wall in England looks much different than a wall in the usa? lol!!!! Cats look WAY different in england than the usa... oh you gotta see the turtles too!!!! ahhahahaha
Wow, they are brilliant!. I just miss that the nordic countrys didnt enter!
2:27:32: That would make a great poster
Georgia-Rose Brown is tall, she 5'8 at 37:44
Aliya deserved a place as well as the other three, but what the judge says goes
Simone Biles wins her gold medal in Women's All-Around Final in 2014 World Champion.

#SmilesfromBiles #BilesTime
Little do they know Yao Jinnan was only 6 years old here.
Standards. I think she definitely looks of age. I'm 16 and she looks quite a bit older than me.
Before Shang Chunsong was recruited by the Chinese gymnastics team, she suffered from malnutrition, due to her family being quite poor. That's why she is so tiny and short.
im sorry but ive NEVER seen a chinese gymnast that looked over 10 yrs old!! its very unfair because i DO NOT believe that the chinese gymnast are of age!!!!
Kenya Williams Oh please just stop saying the Chinese gymnasts are malnourished because it's untrue! Chinese or generally Asian people are smaller and slimmer because of the genetics ! That is not because they don't feed themselves ! Even if Shang Chunsong was from a poor family and it's why she is so tiny...
Deborah Porter Mighty-Mo, Cheng Fei, and He Hexin(2012), par example.....
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Do the bbc commentators even criticize the British gymnast? They are so biased
Signal loss from 27:47 to 29:52
Is Bulimar injured?
Yep. Knee injury that happened while training vault. But she's already back in training and I think we'll see plenty of her this year. :)
