They ate with the thumbnail can’t lie 😩😘
Yes!
Yes!! But Langston, yours be on point too ❤
Still watching, but Olivia said something that made me stop and post. In speaking of Gabby’s motivations, she said, “she’s naturally talented, got the itch, hopped on a beam, and it felt like home.”
That’s it, it feels like home. And that’s what keeps us tuned into the sport and these amazing women.
All our best to Spencer! ❤
💯🙌🙌🙌
Simone’s “balk” in 2021 was still a 10.0 SV in NCAA, lest we forget. It wasn’t the 5.3.5 on the board, but like…to hear Simone’s interview after knowing what she accomplished versus what she meant to do…Simone is truly superhuman ❤
I actually think it's more important for Gabby to hit beam. USA has two World bars EF silver medalists and a World/Olympic bars EF bronze medalist. Beam is where team USA is shaky.
Watch "The Weight of Gold." These athletes have had a singular focus for nearly their entire lives. They look at themselves as an athlete first and not a human. That's how Simone could easily jump to the thought that a country could hate her.
It also doesn’t help her think that way because she is/was an outspoken strong black woman and was already getting stupid remarks from people.
@@ClarkJohnson-oq9ue Cue eye roll. Yawn.
“…and look how I turned out” 😂😂😂😂
For Konnor, I think it’s more like, “I have my confidence back and I know I’m already a bad ass, so why not give it a go?”
Does anyone know if the RUclips feed will have the same commentators as CNBC? I’m not sure which one to watch on Saturday. Either way, I’m excited.
You mean the competition? It's not live outside of the US 😭. Even Flip TV which u have to pay for is only showing the podium training..
I live in the UK, where can I watch the Classic live? Usually have to wait a few days and watch replay on youtube 😩
Where do I go to become a club gym nerd member before classics & trials?
Thank you for your consideration! gymcastic.com/club/
If the USA ever had multiple NCAA competitors it would have been in the early 70's or 60's...data doesn't say the school/gym for back then..I remember Tonya Service - UCLA, Kelly Garrison-Steves-Oklahoma, Mohini -UCLA and Moneymaker-UCLA, otherwise NCAA as a throng of athletes has been missing since I know the sport until recent times...
Never forget that in 1988 3 former US Champions didn't qualify to the US Olympic Team!!!
I was hoping it was "by popular demand, we are back with Olivia and HER NEW AND IMPROVED MICROPHONE!!" love her but mic quality really inhibits my listening experience
I hope Spencer is doing well post surgery. It is crazy to think that the US is so stacked with talent that they could make 2 separate teams and both could win a medal at the Olympics. There is going to be a lot of heartbreak when this team is named, even more so than past years because favorites are gonna be left off of it. I mean we all know Simone and Shilese are basically locks baring any injuries, so that's just 3 slots left and at least a dozen potential women to fill those slots. Going to be a really interesting trials.
I thought Jordan did well at pan American games last year so it’s not a total question mark, though it has been 7 months. This is going to be the most exciting few months!!!!!
no she didn’t she didn’t even win she got bronze and silver.
@@alannabrown4 ah I misread her qualifying score of 54.66 as the final. I still think she showed she’s capable of scores in 13-14 range, I wouldn’t say she did poorly either.
Wtf does last YEAR have to do with THIS YEAR - THIS MOMENT? We will see how she looks. but Pan Ams last year mean zip
@@wizardannie6453 well for an olympic medalist and not winning is not that good a girl that didn’t go to the Olympics beat her.
@@alannabrown4 that’s fair, I was just trying to think about how those scores would compare to the rest of the field but then as I was writing my comment I realized how long ago October actually was lol she’ll have a lot to prove this weekend I think
When Chang lands the double back and the full in, she absorbs and basically drops and rolls - she is really preserving her joints.
I really hope Leanne and Kayla are on the team.
Leanne is phenomenal!! I really hope she kills it these next competitions!
@@SquirtlePower809 Yes! I hope so too! She’s amazing!
I’ve followed both of them closely since they were juniors but I can’t see a world where they’re both on the team. I do think that one of them has a good chance (Kayla at this point) and I do think even if they both don’t make it that they will be at least alternates again. But the lack of individual medal could really hurt them
What about Jordan Chiles?
53:34 Starts here
I'm going to start campaigning for a guest host spot.
No thanks, your takes on Twitter are miserable as it is
@@deepeshmathuria thanks your feedback. I’ll make a note to be less miserable.
@@adexatnightThat was a nice respond from u to that comment that was not so nice
@@wendy4313 we love an opportunity to grow and better ourselves!
@@adexatnight very impressive I hope i can learn from you too… we are all learning to be better people 🤗
I couldn’t imagine trying to fill 3 spots on an Olympic team (I am assuming Biles and Jones are locks assuming no injuries or massive drop in ability) with up to 9 gymnasts (Carey, Wong, DiCello, Blakely, Chiles, Roberson, Lincoln, McClain, and Lee) with legitimate chances. You also have gymnasts like Douglas, Thomas, Lew, and Sumanasekera having outside shots.
Lee has a better chance than Chiles 100%
@@alannabrown4 Not really, everyone will be equals out there, what ever happens happens. Hopefully, there will be no injuries. The judges at each event leading up to the trials will have hard work to do.
I remember doing giants on the playground (metal bar about 2ft. wide, tanbark underneath); made the teacher on recess duty extremely uncomfortable. I was 11yrs. , maybe 12 yrs. old?
I think US is so deep in talent right now and other countries so injury ridden that realistically we could take multiple typical AAers and still walkout with EF medals.
For instance everyone keeps saying we can’t take Kayla and Leanne there’s only room for one. Well, not really. I definitely see a world where they take both.
Both of them have no realistic medal potential and no Cheng / Amanar, so the USAG can only take one at most.
@@cocoroni1031 I think pending Leanne’s upgrades and consistency beam might not be far fetched.
I also think some of the “event specialists” for team US aren’t looking so promising. Suni is a question mark pending her health, joscelyn stating she’s not 100% still, Skye inconsistencies, etc. it isn’t far fetched that they’d take both.
They took Jordan and Grace last quad and both of which had no EF potential.
@@eliseperron1928 They took Jordan because she's the 3rd all arounder domestically. Grace doesn't have any medal potential but it's Tom F era. The USA can't just solely depend on Simone and Shilese to do EFs. So they have to take some specialists who can medal on individual events and hopefully have a good AA program. The USA still needs a very good bars score (14.5-15). It can't be just 14.
@@cocoroni1031 they took grace mccullum because with a team of only 4 gymnasts with 3 up, 3 count in the finals, you had to take 4 all around gymnasts in case someone was injured. With team gold medal always being the priority, you couldn’t take the risk of taking a 2 or even 3 event specialist.
@@ClarkJohnson-oq9ue For me, Leanne would have been the better choice because she had higher scoring potential on vault and floor and more consistent internationally. Tom F didn’t catch up with the change in FIG leadership (Donatella was so ready to drag US’s dance elements and artistry) and hence the change in scoring, so that was a mistake.
Jordan was at Pan American Games last Fall.
ya six months ago… haven’t competed since then, and now only has two more than tryouts… doesn’t look good
Simone Biles and Shilese Jones have certainly secured two of the five spots for the Olympics. They can make it to all six events in Paris (as they did at the last Worlds), and will potentially do all four events in the team final. Another all-arounder would complete this foundation, and of the three in contention - Jordan Chiles, Leanne Wong, and Kayla DiCello - DiCello has proven herself most recently, winning all-around titles at the Pan-Am Games and Winter Cup.
That leaves two more, and it seems the team needs strong scores on vault and floor (and another beam worker is reassuring). A "three fourths" all-arounder would be ideal, and there are several options. Jade Carey or Joscelyn Roberson could fill the role, and it may depend on whose execution scores are most improved. Skye Blakely would otherwise be a true all-arounder if she weren't inconsistent on beam at the last two Worlds. Still, she is solid on the other three events. If Carey or Roberson underperform at Nationals, she may be the fourth member of the squad.
The remaining contenders will fill gaps on the team, demonstrating exceptional talent on one event, reliability on another, and less of an asset on the other two. A single-event specialist is unlikely anymore, should the need arise for a last minute substitution. Let's see who knocks it out of the park at Nationals and Trials on their signature apparatus, while holding their own on a second one. It seems they also must be capable of qualifying for an Olympics event final. This is a toss up for a specialist on bars (Suni Lee or Gabby Douglass), floor (Kaliya Lincoln), or beam (Konnor McClain or Suni Lee). Aside from Lincoln, these veterans have not competed in elite for awhile, so they could be risky selections this late in the quad. It may be interesting to fill the final spot with a newer, competition-ready senior who surprises us during Nationals and Trials.
I agree that Biles and Jones are locks (providing there are no injuries). If Lee can compete her planned difficulty on beam and bars consistently, she'll make the team. They'll need someone to offset her. I'd go with Carey or Roberson (maybe even Lincoln). The final spot should be an all-arounder that isn't spectacular on any one event, but good on all of them. Blakely, Wong, Chiles, and Dicello are your frontrunners. I haven't seen enough from Thomas, McClain, or Douglas to determine if they have a legit shot. Classic and Nationals should be interesting.
Joscelyn is definitely not coming back at the same caliber that everyone is expecting her to. I don’t think she’s anywhere in the picture anymore. She actually admitted to not wanting to compete session 2 at classics with all the top names because she’s still not 100%.
I also am not sold on Kayla being the best bet based on so far this season. She has actually notoriously not been the most consistent. So curious to see if she continues how she has been.
I don’t foresee them taking a floor specialist. Simone Shi both capable on floor of medaling. I think their best bet is to look for someone to supplement on beam and bars (Suni, maybe Leanne). I know people are saying there isn’t room for both Leanne and Kayla. But I think if Leanne comes with upgrades on beam, and keeps her consistency she could be in the mix.
Jade Carey's international score is good (8+E) so that's not true. Besides that she improves a lot on non-acrobatic components on floor. Jade is going for the vault & floor spot. Then just stack up bars & beam by the 3rd all arounder and the bars & beam specialist.
no for jordan, jade has proven herself more than jordan are you serious?!
@@aprile5209not chiles havent seen her sinnce last year and didn’t even win, Kayla has a better chance then jordan 100%
Do you Simone will retire after Paris?
I would personally bring Simone, Shilese, Kayla and Leanne. We need 4 all-arounders just in case 1 of the 4 gets injured/twisties. There is a very strong brazilian team who might just snatch the Gold as did the russians in 2020 olympics. Hence we need 4 all arounders. My 5th would be Suni just because she is medal potential on Bars/Beam
I think it’d have to be either Kayla or Leanne and not both. Leanne would probably be favorable. They also want individual medals. Jade can get 1-2 individual medals.
@@Jess-xn3lh Kinda agree as well, the selection process will be so interesting. Making the team is harder than winning an olympic medal
Do you think that Gabby will retire if she doesn't make the Olympic Team?
After Paris I feel like Simone is going to become the head coach at WCC. I think it's all part of the plans.
She shouldn't be head coach though. Being head coach requires a lot of coaching experience, not just a lot of gymnastics experience. BUT, it would be awesome if she started coaching and headed in that direction, if that's what she wants to do!
Gabby never retired please get it right !!!
Olivia seems soo unprepared 😂 shes just agreeing and jessica is not a reliable source initially . She's always correcting herself immediately after saying something 😅
Oh hush: Olivia is great.
IMMEDIATELY NO
Is Jade Carey out?
No, she's still trying, she just won the American Classic last month!
We need to stop acting like Leanne did well at TF. She bombed beam badly and messed up on floor. It's like the Jordan Chiles tokyo re-writing of history. Those 2 examples are not cases you want on a team
This is her first international bomb though. She hit all international routines before last year.
You hope Simone makes the team? Were you being sarcastic? Of course she'll be on the team if she wants to be.
You seriously didn’t understand that to be sarcasm? 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@ClarkJohnson-oq9ue I just didn't see it in her face. She didn't smirk or chuckle or anything. She looked dead serious, thus my confusion. Go back and watch and see what you think
@@corycaschman I saw the whole video. I also saw her say before that Biles and Jones were locks. Try again.
@@ClarkJohnson-oq9ue I didn't watch the whole video, so that is possible. Clearly you care a lot about gymnastics. Take a deep breath. It's going to be okay 😃
Sarcasm. Hellur. Dry humor. Hellur.
Simone and Shilese are givens, but for some emergency. Jordan, sadly, I don't see it. Jade has a good chance. Gabby will fall short (I won't be upset, i just don't like her, can't help it). Suni - I hope she makes it, it'll be close. Jocelyn, Kayla, shoe ins, Leanne could do it as well.
Let's just cross our fingers that Simone is FINE through the classics AND through the Olympics. I hate to say it, but if she gets hit with the twisties again - at the Paris Olympics - the world won't be as forgiving as they were last time: it will just be seen as an "excuse" to not perform, and ALL her fans will be TOTALLY LET DOWN. ("I can't go home... they'll hate me" = and millions probably WOULD feel that way... sad but true) She wouldn't be able to live that down should it happen again. Let's all hope that everything goes as planned and the Olympics are FABULOUS!!!! I pray she stays strong and stays healthy, regardless what she chooses.❤
Feels like MAG isn’t artistic. It’s a lot of power and strength, but doesn’t have much artistry, which is why it’s less accessible.
They are changing the code next quad to appeal for more audience. Yet, some events like still ring are still not fans' favorite.
And WAG does? lol hehe Jade says hi.
@@lalareal180 Jade has more artistry than the entire history of MAG.
I'm obsessed with Gymncastic-BUT I am not an Olivia Karas fan. She is so uninteresting. I know we need to adapt to this time while Spencer gets well, but maybe switch up the guest host. Also no shade to Olivia-she seems super nice! Not a good fit for this show. I didn't even finish the episode
We need an odd couple pair up... Jessica is already killing with kindness and fangirling. We need someone to throw shade , fact check on the spot, and keep her on topic. That's why her and Spencer worked well. Jessica is still awesome and hilarious, but what about TheSkatingLesson as temporary cohost.
Zoe Miller was the Window Tint lol
Explain.
@aliciamcdonald7105 simone and Zoe Miller are extremely close. She is also going into her first year of College, they hang often as seen on Instagram. They are definitely like sisters.
As much as I adore gymnastic it’s time you realize that there are two sides to the proxy war in Ukraine. Adam Schift has said ‘we will fight Russia over there so we don’t have to do it here’ and let’s not forget the ol’ fave of his ‘we will fight till the last Ukrainian’ while I’m sure he has a wonderful stock portfolio in the military industrial complex so every hundred of billion spent of our public money a portion land in his bank account along with many on both sides of the isle. Have you had any counter point to US propaganda? Nope. In fact you’ll just erase comments that don’t look at it from that point of view. I’m sure my comment won’t last long. Forget about the coup the CIA and Victoria Newland (newly retired) backed there or that the U.S. is flooding Europe with weapons and that NATO has Russia surrounded after promising NOT to do that or the fact that Russia isn’t on our border in Canada or Mexico or that Adam Schift’s statement is correct and an entire generation of Ukrainian men have been laid to rest all for what? Generic words like ‘democracy’? Why is Israel not banned after the 40k in civilian casualties from international competition? War is a racket that’s why. Its an absolute shame that people in this country still want to rah rah so the already rich can steal more resources with their inserted puppet while millions of people in this country are homeless and have to choose between medicine and food every day all for weapon sales and the war economy. For any point you’ve made about this war there is a counter point whether you want to acknowledge it or not. #FreePalestine #NoMoreMoneyToUkraine #NoMoreMoneyToIsrael #WarIsARacket #HealthcareNotWarfare #DivestMentallyAndFinanciallyFromTheWarMachine #PeaceOffensive
Russia invaded Ukraine in flagrant violation of UN Charter Article 2(4), the most important clause in all international law. So long as that's true, that's the side.
@@valerielevasseur8674 I guess there’s nothing that happened before then right? Everything starts from there so it will fit that narrative. Nothing in the Donbas region, no coup in 2014 and no not sees burning people in churches which brought Russia in. The U.S. has invaded many a sovereign nations and is still occupying a portion of Syria at this moment. Then there’s Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Vietnam, the Korean War, the 💩 show the US government has made of the global south, the many attempted coups on Venezuela and the list goes on and on proving my point of war being a racket. The U.S. has over 900 military bases around the world. How many does Russia have for their supposed ambitions of world domination? I guess you’ll be fine with the U.S. funding this debacle till the last Ukrainian. Blackrock pushed this war through their media, is profiting from it and conveniently already has the contracts to rebuild after everything is leveled. Follow the money, it may even leave you with a head scratch or two.
Totally incoherent.
Nice try, Russia. Have fun watching from the sidelines. "Our border" lol. You're not in the US, and you don't give a flying **** about Palestinians. Using another people's dead children to fight a social media campaign is sick.
Long live Ukraine.
Russia is banned because they broke the Olympic truce THREE times, besides invading a country unprovoked. Stop with this BS and stop your MF war against Ukraine unprovoked, before telling America what to do.
