- Best potential for last. She was substituted to replace Viktoria Komova who was withdrawn by the Russian coaches.
Something I've always hoped to god would happen but I never believed it ever would given the circumstances.
Afan simply defines artistic gymnastics!
Wonderful end to the women's World Championships, the best, and most intense floor final ever, with a deep field, great performances, and for once, fair(ish) judging. I felt Yao was a little overscored early on but not that it mattered anyway.

I've watched this routine so many times over the years that the BBC commentators have become as integral a part of it as the music. "One of the most difficult spinnnns"
😂😂😂 I love this comment so much because SAME! “She’s verrryy cleannn” almost soundtracks her beat jump more than the music itself at this point.
Omgggg same
I can't handle the woman's voice at all 😂
I feel you. Those NBC commentators are so annoying 🙄. But BBC really makes every gymnast shine in their own way!!
I love "and very nicely through the spin with attitude" haha
It's the hands. They're everything
@QPHashSS77 In the comments of a Viktoria Komova FX video you said Afanasyeva was the only Russian gymnast with good rhythm and choreography. Inconsistent much? Make up your mind, Jesus
@QPHashSS77 Can you actually show me a pose she did twice in this video? And it wasn't only poses to begin with. This choreography had fluidity and constant movement.
Absolutely! 💗 💗
Omg yes! I love that is not a 100% choreographed... Each floor routine she does a different hand trick. LOVE YOU AFA
I call it handography. It's incredible.
The unforgettable routine
ugh MAGIC
@QPHashSS77 Were you a gymnastics fan in 2011? Probaby not, because you said you didn't KNOW. THat's different from remembering - sorry to burst your bubble.
Hey world, take notice. THIS is how you do an artistic gymnastics floor routine. Great choreography, solid tumbling, and perfect in dance elements. Don't see this much anymore. No doubt in my mind she would have placed in London had she kept this routine.
***** Yes, I know that. Im saying had she kept this floor routine and performed it exactly like this, She would've placed in London. I know that she screwed up in London. Had she kept this routine, which is arguably the best floor routine she has ever performed and did the same exact choreography and landings and everything else, she would've had an individual Olympic medal.
Bd H Also how cool would that bit of Tango In The Night have sounded in London? If Afansayeva and Izbasa had both gone clean the medals would have looked completely different.
Emmy Johnson afan always has such cool music. I like her London 2012 music though. I think ponor was overscored in prelims but still would've somhow medaled even if afan and izbasa went clean.
joseph johnson I know she placed 6th in London, but I think it should've been 7th behind Wieber.
***** Wieber's Routine was shit in finals...
this routine deserves gold. That is what artistry means
Definitely the best there. Sui Lu was good, but Afansyeva was better overall with superior artistry and greater tumbling variety. Her routine is more interesting.
I agree ,afansyeva is as graceful as Nastia liukin ,simply stunning .The 2 most artistic gymnasts ever in my opinion. Afan is so underrated though :(
The last ARTÍSTIC world Champion floor routine.
@Pako Paez PREECH! The word “artistic” has been gone from artistic gymnastics since 2013.
@@mustyfan1584 Do you know what artistic means? It means creative. There has been artistry since 2013.
@@bluepanther1013 Whatever you need to tell your self buddy. Whatever you need to tell yourself.
@Bluepanther 101 Obviously there has been creative choreography since 2013. My avatar is Eythora Thorsdottir for God’s sake. I just mean to say that the sport as a whole has lost most of its artistry that made it great. Creative performances used to be a staple of WAG, and now they’re a rare exception.
@QPHashSS77 If you had a shred of intelligence you would be able to recognise that the fact you can't respond with any actual ARGUMENT but only with juvenile and pathetic insults only really serves to show your viewpoint is worth re-evaluating.
her entire legacy all in one routine
icionic routine, one of the best of the decade.
The moment between her and her coach when the score comes in is what dreams are made of. I think she epitomizes the balance of power and artistry on FX.
Talking about the music, I believe what makes Afanasieva such an exeptional performer on floor is her fine musicallity. She "knows" her music, feels it and the choreography, even the tumbling, blends into it. Love Komova's floor music medley in London - tribute to A.Winehouse' and F.Mercury genius and the British culture - simply classy!
I have to say this routine is absolutely GORGEOUS. The music , the moves, the tumbles , she's got such a strong presence that is admirable. A true Olympian
definitely top 5 favorite floor routines of all time. I never get tired of watching this
I like mustafina hijo de ka luna routine
This was far from one of the top 5 all time routines. Gymnastics history is deep. So many fantastic routines with equal tumbling and way more complex choreography. And stuck landings
@@brettonoverton6902 maybe it's because my great aunt wrote her the music...gymnastics is subjective sport
I can't imagine anyone perform like this She had the elegance, the difdiculty, the choreography... Amazing!!
This isn't just gymnastics, this is art!
Elegant and interesting winner, lovely.
2015 and still wow 👏
edgar fuentes 2016 and still WOW
2017 and still wow.
Mauricio M 2018 and still wow
And in 2019 it will still be a WOW
2458 and still wow 👏
Gorgeous routine she really deserves gold
I just love how the Russian can perform the music. I haven't seen any other gymnast from any other nation perform as they do. They had Khorkina, there's certainly no one better than her, not even Biles, Mustafina, Komova, Zamo, and Afanasyeva who was magnificent here.
Erick Soto sorry but komova was perfect in AA final on floor. she deserved a high score like 15.266 at least and Douglas was overed score she routine deserve like 14.9
Beg your pardon but Mustafina 's 2010 AA floor routine was gorgeous.
Holy smokes I've been watching her 2012 routine over and over again and have not watch this routine for awhile and WOW this is my favourite routine from her. She had obvious landing faults but she moves so smooth and sensual. Just beautiful.
This is my favourite routine of all time. Much much preferable than Simone Biles!
No doubt! Simone looks so aggressive, she can be much more powerful , but she'll never has this beautiful classic Russian style!
Breno Sterphan lol not like she needs it. Her hard work ethic still outclasses any female gymnast
@@arathgomez615 She does not need it because the CoP is so poor nowadays. But Simone would have to reborn 5 times to posses this beautiful and polished artistry.
Mauricio M just lake Afanasyaeva would have to be reborn five times to have Simone’s power and tumbling skills. Gymnastics is two parts! Artistry and power
@@FantasyPNTM Exactly, and Simone is not balanced, she's the greatest TUMBLER ever existed. Artistic gymnast? That's another story.
A very worthy world champion. She is really the queen of floor, and still is after YEARS later. She really knew how to combine powerful tumbling with artistry. Something no one does anymore. молодец ксения!
love her reaction at 3:30...shock then happiness. and well deserved
i am so excited for this to get 100,000+ views! so deserved too...
Well deserved, such a beautiful routine. She also seem so nice and humble when getting congratulations from other athletes and coaches !!!
You can tell that it was a shock - that little hitch in the commentator's voice - "Uhhh ...... WELL IT WAS A CASE OF SAVING THE BEST OF LASTTTTTT"
"But none of us believed it was THAT impressive."
Christine Still: ""Stammers -- It really IS a just result, she took.... She landed everything so well, all the spins.."
"The performance was great -- Stammers ---- I was just surprised the judges went with it!"
--- Oh The Brits -- I love your matter of fact statements in everything you do..
Note: Super Happy for Afan here. Totally impressed with the entire podium and placement.
Kseniia. A true performer and artist (as well as a good tumbler). This is what a true artistic gymnast should be. Sui lu too giving a perfomance. Ahh the days when you could watch world's and not worrying about not receiving a perfomace.
The result was absolutely fair! This routine is the real 'artistic' gymnastics... most beautiful choreography + difficult tumbles = GOLD!!! Congratulations Afanasyeva!
Best floor routine in history 2011 floor champion was way better than 2018 floor champion by performance
OMG I've got it! Her looks, the way she carries herself... She reminds me of Cersei Lannister. Gods, that's bothered me for years.
Hahaha that made me think for a sec..
Lebronze Blackrose 😆 Apt comparison! She definitely has that dangerous, sexy vibe.
I can't think of a better word to describe Afan other than regal. She's incredible!
BEAUTIFUL!!!! I love how she actually puts effort into her choreography!! Gorgeous
Definitely my favorite on the floor
oh my god. this is stunning
Beautiful
Eugene J Pretty too much
That girl is a star. She always has been just super inconsistent. It was meant to be.
Veronica Young she wasn't super inconsistent. She was a bit 'unlucky' in London, but she was pretty consistent the whole her career
THANK YOU! WONDERFUL WORK! BLESSINGS TO YOU!
Köszönöm, hogy láthattam!!
love the final piece on her toes-- nice touch!
One of my favourite floor routines
gorgeous set! One of my favorite sets of hers.
back for a palette cleanser after seeing the current floor routines
i can't stop watching this video... it really amaze me every time i watch this vid...
Ever since Beijing I became an Afanasyeva fan and she was the reason why I now watch WAG. I have always supported her no matter what. Well deserved win. She has finally been recognized for her beauty.
such an amazing choreography! her hands... so hypnotizing
It was a shame what happened to her in the team finals yesterday. But her choreography is the best of the competition and I hope she gets the gold on floor! Go Ksenia, Congratulations on your team silver Olympic medal!
she does the best turns I've ever seen floor :) Beautiful routine!
My favorite floor routine of all time, not to slow, yet extremely graceful and wonderful tumbler.
Still laughing in 2020.... at the look on her face when she see's the score.....it still didn't register immediately.....it was like she looked at her coach "are they sure?" "is that real?". Absolutely PRECIOUS!!!....I'd kill to see a picture of her face when she faced her coach.....not the back of her head.
This girl is a tall gymnast, which makes all skills much more difficult.
Yes that is Lauren and I agree. She is always one of the first to extend a sincere hug and smile. I wish NBC would have shown her floor routine at the Olympics this year. Kseniia was incredible and deserved the gold medal.
This is one of my all time favorite routines. Absolutely beautiful. Great tumbling, beautiful spins, great leaps, perfect combination of grace and power. I have no idea why people think that Raisman was robbed. Her routine, though difficult, was severely lacking in artistry. It was not visually appealing and all of her routines show how hard she works for each skill. Its basically tumbling, running around, a leap, some hopping, more tumbling. This is artistic gymnastics not power tumbling.
Beautiful. Re-posted in my livejournal blog.
Can't stop watching this routine.
This was beautiful.
you are completely right! I agree 100%
I could never watch this too many times!!
If you are an all-around gymnast, whose best apparatus is floor,
you're gonna have a bad time.
How can you not love seeing Afan finally win this well deserved gold medal?
Really nice posture, extension, and line in this routine. Well done.
holy hannah I love this routine !
Good choise from russian coaches. I really love Vika, but the last floor routine in last final, she would never end her serie without any big mistake.
and she was too tired
@@MrVitor1563 Yeah I mean, she was only a 1st year senior
Youth olympics were a joke compared to worlds
Inolvidable esta rutina, ella impecable en la coreografía ❤❤❤
Ella es maraviliosa, la reina del suelo👍👍😉😉
I can't stop watching this. The double attitude spin rocks.
Hehehe, actually those 10,000 views may have been me on my own... LOVE THIS ROUTINE!!!!
Stunning.
She is fantastic and beautiful! Was a shame about her today at the olympics! Very bright future ahead!
may not be the most difficult but the elegance is unquestionable.
Ella es inolvidable!!! I love Afanasieva!!+
she always has the best music and choreo
She should’ve done this routine in the Olympics. It had by far superior choreography
Both were superb.
Very very good, bravo!
ksenia merece ♡
She is my FAVOURITE Gymnast on planet Earth!!
@markelov: Me too. It's just sooo great!
Love it and her :)
she touched perfection...
Not sure about perfection, but it was pretty damn impressive
you're right!
Hopefully her and her upgraded difficulty will medal at Worlds. So excited!
Watching an interview with her that was translated she didn't even think she would win, she thought maybe 2nd or 3rd place after she finished, she would be happy. She was really shocked. Great job. I hope Russia brings it as they did in Sydney during the event finals, in London they won everything except beam. Hope they do it again!
my favorite gymnast on floor
Ella es una de mus favoritas en suelo... me encanta!!!
Perfection!
Wow! Very well deserved gold medal
When someone says that Sui Lu was robbed 😂 😂 😂
Tots agree, was stunning!
omgggg this is exactly EXACTLY how I think! and what I tell everyone
totally agree!!
omg i love her amazing xx
It took a while, but up until a few days ago, Yao Jinnan's FX video has been the most popular video from this final, at one point having more than 10,000 views than this one. This video is now the most popular of all the women's event finals videos that I uploaded :P.
She's still in training, at the University Games in Kazan in a week and a half she will debut a new floor routine. She'll be coming off a gold medal win on floor from the European Championships :D.
beautiful job xenia.
beautiful! so glad she won-- the rightful world champion
I hope she doesn't plan on retiring anytime soon. Her dance and artistry is incredible!
Very beautiful exercise!
PERFECT ROUTINE... she deserve!!!
Beautiful routine. I wish everyone would stop belittling Raisman here though: I dislike her style of gymnastics as much as the next person, but she showed fantastic sportsmanship here. Did everyone see the big hug she gave Afanasyeva? Genuine delight in their mutual trip to the podium.
I agree..I love her variety she had some different things going on that other didn't it wasn't predictable the judges sent a message in this to the Chinese...its nice what you do but we have seen it 100,000 times. I love the artistry of both top gymnast but Afan had all the elements
Is that Lauren Mitchell @2:17 ? She's so sweet :) she never shows jealousy, she's never rude, she's always congratulating other gymnasts! She has class! I really love her positive attitude!! But anyway! Kseeeeniiiia was wonderful!
Agreed. There is more to artistry than simply looking like a ballerina (though that is my favorite type). Wieber does have choreo that suits her music, appropriate dance moves etc.
