- Valentina Rodionenko had her opinions about the WAG team competition. She thinks the USA team is easily beatable without Simone and the USA MAG team is essentially nothing to discuss.
What are your thoughts about what she said?

there is no ignoring that Simone is a huge advantage to the American team, but saying the American team is nothing without Simone is just an insult to all the other gymnasts who have so much talent. Suni, Morgan, Grace, Riley, Mykayla, Jordan, and so so many more. Sure without Simone the Olympics becomes less guaranteed for Team USA but even without Simone, Team USA would produce amazing results (assuming everyone hits their routines).
I agree 100%
I agree the Americans are spectacular, but when it comes to difficulty, we’d medal but not guaranteed a gold one. I’ve been watching every video out there and other countries have difficulty too, sometimes more than us. I’m not undermining the USA, but there are many other Countries that are spectacular out there. Basically, the most consistent team with the most difficulty is the winner. It will be very very close without Biles. Too close for comfort. I really hope I’m not stirring the pot, but I am only saying what I’ve observed.
If all those girls were in the all around, Melnikova would probs get like 12th place.
@@jasminenystrom9074 There is NO other team out there that has greater difficulty than the US with or without Biles. You just slip in Jade for Simone and difficulty in VAULT and FLOOR will almost be the same. Sunisa has a high difficulty bar routine and Riley McCusker is very good too. Beam is the only apparatus I can see another team out scoring the US on but their advantage on Floor and Vault will still give them the gold. This is WITHOUT Simone in the mix.
Well said boo!... 👌😁
This woman’s claims HAVE aged well…
Yess
Hahahaha YES
Only because Biles helped her by throwing a low difficulty vault. Lol.
@@mindyschocolate ROC won qualifications and final, with and without Biles. If Biles chose a vault she cant execute or a low difficulty vault, thats on her and her coach. Unfortunately all athletes have to take this risk into concideration when choosing a routine.
well uhm uh the U.S won silver without biles?? i dont think they would’ve placed at all with biles especially if she competed on bars
The Russian team in 2012 was stronger than it is now and they still lost to team USA and Biles wasn't even on that team
Do u know how many fall Russian counted yet no other team defeat them ,with many fall dey take silver, now if there was no fall dey would have win
@@ezehrichard5628 USA would had still won. USA won by over 5 points, they were invincible.
@@ezehrichard5628 The US was the favorite to win, after the uneven bars the United States still had the lead. Uneven bars was russia's best event and the advantage they had over the U.S. On this event they had no falls and still did not take the lead. Beam and floor the US was better at even if Russia did not fall. For Russia to win they needed the US to make a mistake
@@jckanch4774 US was overscored on bars both in 2012 and 2016, but their floor difficulty would've put them ahead at the end
Bad comparison. In London they fell three times (Grishina's disaster count as a fall) and had a terrible beam rotation, meanwhile USA hit everything, so only by numbers, Russia had everything to fight for gold.
Two months later, I’m laughing out loud. The lady has a point.
it was literally all because chiles fell. they still had higher raw scores
@@sgc0115 I hear what you’re saying. This only reminded me that no matter how strong any of the teams are, if major mistakes are made on any of the teams then it may jeopardize a medal. I don’t know enough about gymnastics to give an educated opinion on either team. My hope is that everyone performs up their potential and the best team wins.
exactly. she was right. russia got gold in tokyo 2020
@@sgc0115 ROC literally outscored the us on vault, bars and floor during the team finals and if they hadn't 2 falls on beam they would have outscored them on beam too like they did at the qualifying
@@sgc0115 Grace stepped out of bounds on vault and floor, had a big balance check on beam and tapped her toes on the bottom bar. Unfortunately I think that even if Chiles hadn’t fallen, the deficit from Simone’s vault was insurmountable.
Well Russia beat USA even with Simone in the qual ... she is not wrong. Russian team is quite strong this quad
they are! i really wish she woudlnt have pulled out of final. i wanted to see how everything went with everyone and every team hitting everything to truly see whos the best!
Well to be fair there were a lot of uncharacteristic mistakes in the qual
She doesn't want to make HER athletes better, she wants to complain that other athletes are too good? The fact that she thinks the only way you can win is by having the best athlete out of the competition makes her a terrible coach. As a former athlete and gymnast, if the best athlete wasn't at the competition, it was very hollow "victory."
@@itskatesmith very much agreed I had a similar situation once when I was a just starting to shine of being an athlete
This aged tremendously.
Russia: "Remove Biles and we will easily beat them!"
Translation: "Our entire Russian team cannot beat Simone Biles"
that's what I heard too...
Ahhhh lol
Yep!!!!
Thank you!
@Jørn Trevor Jakobssen Because we are.
Who's here after Russia beat US in the qualification rounds in Tokyo...
with Simone, lol. us stans be mad
🖐
That’s exactly why I’m here. 😂. I haven’t seen the Russians compete but overall, I’m hesitant about USA gymnastics at this point at least.
Here after they won the finals with Simone participating in only one event and quitting
Here after 🇷🇺 won 🏅
This aged like fine wine. Goes to show how the team should have depth enough to hold its own and shouldn't be centered around one individual alone.
If that common is true, then the ROC didn't have any depth either, without Melinkova how would they have done? Poorly
Idk what yall are going on about. Valentina said “without Biles, we can beat USA” and she was right.
Yes, USA was still very much dominant without Biles (WAG managed to secure 6 medals and singlehandedly put USA in 3rd in medal rankings for Artistic Gymnastics) and it had depth but it’s not as dominant as Tim Dagget or any other American says. Yall talk mad shi about how the B team is enough to secure gold when not even the A-team with Biles could beat Russia during the quals.
@@mr.balloffur They also had Listunova and Urazova, three strong all arounder that placed top 10 during quals
Had Suni vaulted instead of Simone that day and Jordan hadn’t fallen on floor, then, they would’ve won that meet. Without Simone.
I do give Russia their credit, though. They capitalized on a moment.
Sooooo…this aged pretty well.
This aged even better now.
@@isi8351 It’s friggin’ Jennifer Aniston at this point.
@@joshuafaulks7230yep it’s even better now for Paris.😂
USA is a strong team with or without Simone Biles. Biles is still key in the team but we have many amazing gymnasts. I kind of get that Valentina is upset that Team USA very dominant at the moment and her team can't catch up but we were doing really good even before Biles. Anyone else agree?
Absolutely agree with you and I am not even an American!
Of course. That's just verifiable fact! 💯
They had many years alone at the top of the podium when scoring was being tainted by corruption!
Russia is a country of about 150 million - US has about 340 million - we have a much bigger pool of girls to recruit from. Not to mention that this sport has become much more popular among young girls here. Russia once dominated this sport but the US passed them and there is no looking back.
Given that there are only 4 spots for this Olympic team. And the US is so deep with talent like Jordan Chiles, Morgan Hurd, Riley McClusker, just to name a few, we could send an A & B team that would both beat everyone else.
She was 500% correct - even with biles, Russians came #1 in the qualifications in Tokyo olympics
And today she proved to be 1000% correct. Biles or no Biles in the team event at this olympics, the Russian team performed better.
I’m sorry I don’t agree at all. When team USA hits and when team Russia hits on the same day, Russia easily loses. But, yes, when team USA has a bad day, like qualifications, then, yes, Russia takes it 🤷🏽♂️
Had Suni vaulted instead of Simone that day and Jordan hadn’t fallen on floor, then they would’ve won that meet. Without Simone.
@@tre9952 don't forget that Russia had 2 falls, and they won. So, it wasn't so easy to team USA to beat Russia.
@@goodstuffs1986 They fell in qualifying or team finals?
Technically Valentina was wrong... they could also beat them even with Simone 😭
Just like they did yesterday
@@EmilyS1234 Yup hahaha
Yep.
Yep, she fumbled today and had to quit early after a disastrous vault because she rightfully felt the US team can't beat the Russian team. Lol
Only if the world knew those 3 russians potentials 😭 The media never covers them
She has been proven 100% right...today at the Olympics. No Byles, no gold. How come? The others did not step up, cause they syimply did not have the talent to step up.
To say that they didn't step up isn't true, they did. But the Russians are better gymnasts, which is why they won.
I don't totally agree that they didn't step up. Suni and Jordan performed the best they could on short notice. Gelya, Vlada, and Listy were just really better.
Simone definitely dominates, but even without her the US would still almost certainly beat Russia...Sunisa Lee and Morgan Hurd could individually hold their own in the AA against every single one of the Russian girls if they are at maximum difficulty and they don’t fall. Also Carey, McCallum, Chiles, McClain, and Wong would be a force for the Russians to reckon with as well, like...the US is literally bursting with talent; Rodionenko doesn’t really have much ground to stand on to make an assumption like that
She should dominates, I am rooting for her to win five gold medals, which is the same as I predicted at Rio 2016, but she came home with 4 gold medals and a bronze medal. At the 2019 world championships, she won five gold medals, out of the six events, except the uneven bars, and I was correct.
Well, we still got the world AA Title in 2017 and before 2013 without Simone 🤷🏻♀️
Suni and Chiles would hold their own. Hurd is recovering from an injury.
I have broken down the scores and going back quite awhile the U.S wins quite easily even without Simone. I even go through 2 or 3 different options of who would realistically be the replacement gymnast, and through various possible new team final lineups depending on that person, and it is a very easy win. In fact when you think about it as amazing as Simone is if you replaced her with Skinner (and I am not even sure Skinner is who replaces her, that is just the lazy option) what does the U.S lose? 4 points, maybe 5 points max, which is a ton, but they are winning by a lot more that.
Well
Whatever happened to “if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best”? Her comments alone are insulting to the other gymnasts who are just as talented and strong enough to help lead Team USA to victory. Never settle for a shallow victory. May the best team win!
They did, today
American women dominated the Russians even without Simone actually with Simone on beam! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They did 🇷🇺🥇
They won with 3,5 points lead despite flopping on beam😭😭
Jordan messed up big time
@@foreverbrit97 she only had a fall on the floor. the russian fell twice on the beam and still has 3.5 points ahead of USA. it isnt jordan's fault alone
@@Swankdor I know it isnt Jordan's fault alone. The judges would have underscored her anyway even if her routine was flawless. They underscored her on beam over the Russians who fell and had balance-checks.
@@foreverbrit97 there is a thing called extension, which is part of gymnastics if you didn’t know…
Well, this no longer sounds so silly anymore does it? ROC have beaten USA in qualifications!
And in TF by 3.5 points with 2 falls
How did they do in the all-around and individual medals, not very good did they?😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@mr.balloffur Well they picked up a bronze in the AA, a silver on bars and a bronze on floor! They did very well actually!
A lot of the Russian girls got 2-ferd. I mean all were capable of medals in bars lol. They way their team was constructed no one was the best in anyone particular event. But they had three girls who could go 14 plus on every event. Listy missed the AA by a hair and her team final scores showed she could have challenged Suni. Yes Mckayla and Jade got medals. But there is a reason they didn't make the team event because they had issues in some of the other events.
Anyone else back here after Russia took gold? Looks like Rodionenko was right
Because they barely won gold after someone dropped out? How did they do in the all around or the individuals? They can't even win when then when Biles isn't competing
Who’s here after Russia beat USA in the team final when Simone withdrew?
"injured"
Me!
Sounds like the words of someone not confident enough in her own athletes to win. Her words mean nothing. With or without Simone, we have such a deep pool of talent in the US in WAG that I still wouldn't be worried about results if God-forbid Simone got injured and couldn't compete in Tokyo.
Exactly. What piss poor sportsmanship. She needs to figure herself out as a coach if she thinks anyone who’s better than her is a fluke. Still beat them prior to 2016 to boot, and Simone wasn’t on any pre 2016 Olympic team.
Since the coach engaged in subjunctives or Trumpian Alternate Reality BS, we could do the same thing: If we removed the whole Russian team, neither the US nor China nor Italy or Britain nor Germany had to even worry that the Russians might take any gold, silver, or bronze from any other nation.
I fell honestly that USA could still win without Simone but so could Russia or China because honestly Simone only gives the USA a lot of security in case someone screw up,something the other teams don't have
Your comment didn't age well lol
I returned here to say that Valentina was RIGHT ALL ALONG! So much for the American overconfidence and ARROGANCE! You said that you would beat anyone with your B team. You sent your A team and you still LOST! About time to eat some humble pie! Congratulations RUSSIA on winning both the Men's and Women's Team Final. So much love from the Philippines!
This aged like fine wine
That’s funny considering Simone wasn’t on the 2012 team that beat them or the 2008 team that won Silver and Russia didn’t even get on the podium in Beijing.
But...she's talking about the current team...

She is proven to be right
Lol the woman was SO right! Simone is too powerful, team USA is not the same without her
Fast forward two months later…. TEAM RUSSIA JUST BEAT THEM IN QUALS 💀🤣
AND IN FINALS
@Jose R it’s only because simone had mental health issues.
Simone had a great performance in the qualifications, she qualified in all the finals and in 1st and 2nd place (in AA, vault and floor). Which means that team Russia was simply better
you should totally make a vid on the romanians!
Noted!
@@usagtea8072 please
Yes please make a video on Romania
So many young romanians are retiring. It breaks my heart and makes me wonder if there is something deeply wrong in elite gymnastics that goes beyond lack of resources.
Another video showed how poverty drove gymnastics but now they don't have to do this anymore.
welcome to the Simone years- you're playing for second. Everyone knows it, congratulate her because she worked very hard to get there, and enjoy whatever victory you get behind her.
They were playing for second before Simone.
@Holdenwhat Period. The end.
In the team event everyone else would be playing for second even without Simone. No country the depth and strength of the U.S team overall, even without Simone. Besides the fact that Lee and even Hurd are probably better than any countrys top AA gymnast on a good day to boot. No Simone might open it up for other countries to play for 1st in the All Around, vault, and floor (although the U.S would often win gold on those even without Simone) but not the team event.
@@Appaddict01 Yes basically since the 2011 worlds. I mean I guess in theory the 2011 worlds and 2012 Olympics would have been really close between U.S and Russia if Russia hit all their routines like the U.S did, but just LOL at that actualy happening. And since then there is a gulf when it come to the team event, even had Simone not been there.
@@douglasbrown5671 hurd is horrible tho
Simone Biles is the GOAT. This is her time. Having said that, it takes a team to win. Simone's scores only count once just like everyone else. Do I think she gives her team a confidence boost? Yes! At the end of the day, everyone has to go out there and perform. On any given day, it could be someone's best day. Nothing is guaranteed.
I feel like Simone gives the USA a lot of safety because in case someone screw it up Simone can make it up with her score something that the other teams don't have
@@guilhermealmeida6181 Not only that. Having the best in your team often takes responsibility away. When the best in your team isn't there, then you discover the true value of the team.
@xocre8tiv1 she still is she just had a bad day,just because she is the best that doesn't mean she can't have bad days
🤡😝🤡😝🤡
Hahahahahaha
Well this didn’t age well, looks like The Russian coach was absolutely right
I'm interested in a video about WAG Romania!
Thanks for letting me know!
I agree is was lonely to see only Larrisa Irodache to represnt Romania.
@@christenawalker2944 At least they have her!
Is Romania setting its sights for the next quad. I saw a gymnast who showed promise at the Euros this year, plus there’s so much talk about Sabina Voinea. It would be great to see them shine once again.
Why didn´t Romania participate in Olympic team 2016?
Off course hahaha. Don't need to remove biles xD. Usa needs to hire a ballet dancer asap
This aged very well.
People really missed her point. Simone is not going to stay in the sport forever, also the US juniors are quite weak compared to the Russian and Chinese ones.
Gabz7 of course Simone is not going to stay in the sport forever but that was NOT the point Valentina was making either. One of the points she made though is what RUSSIA should really be concern about and that is how much fewer young girls are getting into artistic gymnastics now than years ago. THIS is where the US has everybody beaten. Artistic gymnastics has become so huge a sport for young girls in America and has kept its attraction for years now and there seems to be no letting up. I must add that I strongly believe Simone's success has contributed a good deal to this as more African Americans are being drawn to the sport like never before. Against that backdrop I don't see the Russian, Chinese or any other team overtaking the US with or without Simone in the foreseeable future. They don't have the huge interest in the sport as America has(female) they don't have the money to go around and they just don't have as many quality gyms all over there country as the US does.
@@aliciamcdonald7105 Well, because of the abuse scandals I don't see that happening. I also want to say that China has a lot of depth right now, probably even more than the US. Both China and Russia are big countries and ofc they're gonna have good gymnasts, this is just a start for them.
Everyone assumed when Simone dropped out of the all-around that America would lose their gold medal until Suni Lee proved them wrong
@@itskatesmith It was a fair assumption since the 2nd highest qualifier was Rebeca Andrade, not Suni Lee. In the end, Lee was cleaner with fewer mistakes and deservedly won.
Can’t believe she quit on the US team. US got silver and Russia got gold at the 2021 team Olympics.
I think people don't put these things in perspective. If she had continued and injured herself or paralyzed herself after knowing she wasn't mentally in the head space to compete what would be saying then? "Oh she should have stopped" It's easy for us who don't do high level gymnastics to say she quit but she is literally doing the hardest gymnastics of anyone in the field and is the face not only of US gymnastics but the entire Olympic Games if she isn't in a good place mentally she has to to stop. Her event isn't like track and field or swimming where you run and just run a bad race in you're not all there she could literally kill herself so we have to be mindful when we say she quit on the team. Now I came back to this video because the Russian lady was right there is no ifs ands or buts about it Russia beat the US. they deserved it they were the best and no spin from the US media will tell me the US lost it. Russia won it. Hope Simone comes back for AA though
I mean even in qualifying russia was first by one point. We still don't know if simone performed what the outcome would have been!
@@britneyg5522 Qualifying scores don't count for a reason. Because you only do enough to get into the finals without hurting yourself
AGED LIKE BEYONCE
Who’s here after the Olympic qualifying?
Well, the Russia gymnastics female is not wrong. Simone is the 75% team support and she is carrying the team and without her they might lose, but they earn the silver medal.
I returned here to say that Valentina was RIGHT ALL ALONG! So much for the American overconfidence and ARROGANCE! You said that you would beat anyone with your B team. You sent your A team and you still LOST! About time to eat some humble pie! Congratulations RUSSIA on winning both the Men's and Women's Team Final. So much love from the Philippines!
Holy words! A pebble has been enough to jam the machine. How come?
@@lukasfontana7589 finally another gym fan from the Philippines, sana dumami pa tayo hehe
A.M.E.N. 👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Not the algorithm recommending me this video after the ROC win lmao
I think Valentina is bad at math. She only has Angelina and Viktoria. We have Jade, Jordan, Suni, and plenty others.
Put them in any combination and no other team can catch up.
Literally I’m not only a fan of the American team but anyone could recognize how dominant USA is right now, even a B team could probably win
I think you are kind of missing the point. Every gymnast you named (aside from Jade) can be very shaky. The difference is Simone can fall and still put up huge numbers that are usable in a Team Final while no other gymnast can. Of course take into consideration the Russians are also quite shaky and it evens out. Do I think that team can be beaten "easily"? No, but would it be much easier and definitely plausible? Absolutely. I think one of the main reasons the American team has always been able to stay so calm in team finals is mostly due to the fact they know they are going to win. Take away that certainty that Simone (yes only Simone) gives them and we could see completely different outcomes.
@@kristiankowalski2854 Only part I disagree with is that you said the Americans are calm in team finals bc Simone guarantees they will win. Back in 2012 team final the team made no major mistakes and Simone was not present. But I do agree now the presence of Simone does help them stay calm but just pointing out they have been consistent in team finals before Simone.
@@jckanch4774 Oh absolutely no denying their mental strength in the tail end of that quad. What I am saying is that with the amount of relatively new talent that has been making teams in the past quad for the US there has been a level of consistency you don’t typically see from new seniors. Having a rock to rely on like Simone definitely helps.
Russia also has Vladislava Urazova
.
This woman’s words should disappear into the wind. Simone’s talent speaks for itself. We are witness to her abilities and we are also witness to Russia allowing this woman to speak for the Russian people. A bad idea.
Not so sure about this. The US team just need not to fall on each event and they will win. But I totally agree that consistency is the key on who will win if Simone is not around for team USA
We could have fallen 5 times and still won Worlds by almost a point
@@michellelosch9928 "We"?
@@grozdovas yes USA Team
Well the truth is consistency is the key for EVERY team. If a US team of Suni, Grace, Jade, Morgan and Jordan were to represent the US, then they would have to have a number of falls during their program and the Russians would have to be PERFECT to beat them. Now, when last has the RUSSIAN or any other opposing team for that matter has been CONSISTENT enough to even put up a challenge to the US? This is the problem that Valentina is not recognizing.
@@michellelosch9928 take Simone out and add the falls. You’re not it winning anymore. She’s providing the largest cushion ever
It's so pleasing to come back here after Valentina redeemed herself. What's even better is that Russia beat the USA in the quals even with Simone! Hahaha!!! Love the Russian gymnasts from the Philippines!
*apir kabsie*
OOPS SHE WAS RIGHT LMAO
Well this one actually kinda did age well… ( from the point of view of the russian coach).
Did the Russian coach forget that at Rio, silver AA was also won by American, Ally Raisman?! So, if Simone hadn’t competed at Rio, it would’ve been won by another American!
You are correct. In 2012 and 2016 without the 2 per country rule Gold-Bronze would all be American. Lol, Gabby Douglas in 2016 was like .3 behind Raisman. in 2012 Jordyn Webber also would have been 3rd or 2nd to Douglas without that rule, so um yeah this Russian couch is full of shit.
@@marimccabe325 Yep, sour grapes😂
Same thing this year wih Simone and Suni. Without Simone, Suni would be World AA chanp.
@@AbbyC543 I totally agree! Her floor routine this year is watered down with just three passes but she can still score behind Simone. What more if she competes a floor routine with 4 stunning passes?
@@iammisskape I believe that Suni is coming off an injury so she was playing it safe during the trials. She will go all out at the Olympics. Suni will be in the AA finals .
1:36 - 1:50 is my take on all of this. Conversations like these are pointless because Biles IS on the US team, and there's really nothing anyone can do about it. Like the video says, unless she's REALLY injured, she's going to Tokyo. Full stop. All these assumptions and could-haves don't change a thing🤷🏾♀️. Just my opinion🙃.
Radionenko was not exactly most credible person but now it is a lot of truth jejejeje
Well, they won the gold lol
Her predictions came true.
Simone is amazing, but so are the other US gymnastic teammates. They all work hard & they all have many talents. Together they are a force to be reconned with!
The others can't tie Simone's show laces.
This aged well 😂
Sorry, after seeing the Russians at the Europeans and the Chinese nationals, the Russians should be worried about the Chinese not the Americans.
My thoughts exactly!
Dey don't have too,hope u saw how Chinese queen of d beam fell twice from d beam,hope u remember how simon fell on beam final at Rio, no one can predict gymnastics, beside d Chinese scores are high because its a domestic meet. When it goes international dey will sit for 13s like others
Let them focus on the US and they will off the podium all together
I was a little awed by the Chinese Nationals which were the first gymnastics I had seen since Covid started. They were brilliant but did make quite a few errors, but their form is good and makes US look clumsy!
So true! I was way more impressed by china than Russia this year
well they got their point proven, the US lost to Russia in the team finals at the olympics
Anybody here today...
The USA team is brilliant and so are the Russians and of course they could’ve beat the Russian team but this final they were expecting to piggyback off of Simone and when Simone was removed they got second. The dominance of the United States team was made out to be much more exaggerated than it really is. This is a lesson to those girls that you can’t rely on one person in a team competition. They’ll come back stronger. And congratulations to Russia, their win was well deserved.
To be fair, the other girls did step up as best as they could. This is a lesson to the people running the USA WAG team since they are the ones who built a team around Simone. A lesson to the media as well who put so much pressure on her to deliver.
this didn’t age well
well she was proven right lol
I love coming back to videos like this and laugh at the arrogant comments. It's so much fun. 😂
I remember that from the late 1950s to the early 1990s the Russians owned women's gymnastics.....now the shoe is on the other foot and the spoiled brat can't stand it. We have such a deep bench we could field 2 teams and still easily win gold. Our "C" team could even win the gold as well.
Yeah she just needs to accept that RG is the much more popular form of gymnastics in Russia.
Those were the Soviets. Most of them were from Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Uzbekistan, etc.
Yeah but USAG wouldn't be where it is if it wasn't for the Romanian and Soviet emigrant coaches, a lot of even today's national team members are trained by ex-russians/romanians and the US should remember that without Russia/Romania they didn't win anything at all and their team sucked....
@@Themostuselesssofa And China is trained by Shawn Johnson's former coach while Valerie Liukin is now coaching the Brazilian team. So what?
@@grozdovas. THANK YOU!!! Russians and Soviets *ARE NOT* the same thing!!!!!
The fact that she discounted the rest of our team just proves that she was hit by the green eyed monster. Simone is my favorite but she’s NOT the entire team. The other ladies can hold their own just fine. The Russian coach wants to get into our girls heads and cause chaos…we can’t let that happen.
The Russian aunty was proven right
I believe the British 4x100m relay team said something similar about Bob Hayes in the 1956 Olympics: "He's all you got". The teams response was "He's all we need".
Not only could we be #1 w/o Simone, we could send 2 different teams that would both dominate the field. I don't know why Russia is whining. They were like this in the 70s-90s. They were the dominant ones and the others were maintaining bravado, but Ussr had to make a mistake.
Russia and the Soviet Union are not the same. Many of those athletes came from Belarus, Ukraine, and other parts of the Soviet Union. Olga Korbut came from the Belarus. You can’t compare the two, the USSR was more than just Russia.
lol two teams that’s a bit much? Someone made a video using the us Olympic alternates and concluded they might get bronze if everyone hits.
@@Bxyxox exactly, Kara is out with covid and Leanne didn't even get herself vaccinated, putting herself and others at risk. Kayla is not any better than the new Russian seniors who have already beaten her once before, and Emma can't score higher over Melnikova. Some American stans are beginning to think too much of themselves, when some of their team members are human bombs who could actually endanger the lives of people around them because of their (parent's and/or Govt's ) poor choices.
@@fortheloveofcats2462 well I think the covid thing is just very unfortunate. But yes people do seem to be overhyping the American b team gymnasts. Everyone on the A team is amazing and honestly with Simone it’s a guaranteed gold. The B team are also great gymnasts but they aren’t better than Russia or China
@@good_vibes_only_1895 Not only am I completely admitting how wrong I was, but I am admitting to crying like a baby when those Russian girls won. As an American, I wanted USA to win.
However, moreover, I am a gymnastics fan and former athlete. What we saw was a beautiful Russian team show up and win. They took advantage and made the world stage theirs.
No one should feel bad about tonight. It was the most *_REAL_* Olympic team final I've ever seen. It wasn't just a pageant of excellence, it was also a lesson, a blessing, and a reality check....I'm looking at you Tom Forster.
I hate that the coach says something out of line and everyone in the comment are coming for team Russia. Russia, China and the US all have amazing teams. At the end of the day it comes down to consistency and Simone Biles is the most consistent and talented gymnasts of all times. Without Simone the US probably would not an 100% guaranteed gold mettle. I am not saying that the US could not win without Simone Biles because they easily can, but it would come down to which team is more consistent( also I don't understand why we are all arguing over what an old lady from Russia said it really doesn't affect anyone and its not going to change the fact that Simone Biles is the GOAT and will be).
The USA could put together three teams and sweep the podium if it was allowed. 🥇🥈🥉
Okay that is a little bit too much but i get the point
@@azieldaly2965 that is a really cocky satement u are basically saying that all the other teams are no treat
This comment didn’t age well at all….
Where are you now that the Russians beat you in quals? I thought you were unbeatable? Before you attack me, I'm not Russian in case you think fans of Russian gymnasts are all Russians.
OMG i'm laugging so hard righ now
The Russian coach Simone Biles comment is a pointless one! It's like a soccer match where one team is saying, if their opponent didn't have such a good goalkeeper, they could have easily won the match!😂😂😂😂
Well she won’t get her wish but honestly I like her confidence
Delusion*
@@HB-ey2dk probably so but if she were American she would be called “Having Swag”
@@johoward2251 I'm not sure what that means. But I've never seen the US gymnasts ever put down another country's gymnasts to excuse their lack of talent.
Yeah, I don't know why people even take her seriously, she's like Khorkina spouting nonsense (but it is very entertaining!).
@@johoward2251 .... the word “swag” has not been used here for at least 5 years
I actually don't get why everyone seems so personally offended 😅 Just let that lady talk whatever she wants
I’m not personally offended at all but what she says literally makes no sense lmao. Like of course you’re gonna win if you remove everyone who is Better than you, this could literally be said for the last place country
What’s funny is I don’t think people are personally offended. They just don’t like listening to a Russian coach making statements she can’t back up.
Actually we should be laughing at her panic attack and fear of just how fucking good we are!! Paranoid a bit honey?
Well well well Valentina was a somewhat right ! Where’s the recap to this video !
this video aged like fine wine lmao
I agree that Simon Biles is the best, but it was obvious that the commentary of the Russian coach was on point. Maybe it's because ppl in the US generally don't care about other countries in sports(or otherwise) unless they lose in an actual competition like Gymnastics or Basketball, but please understand that Russia has a lot of traditions in both sports gymnastics and especially artistic gymnastics. I think overall the comments of Rodionenko were coming from a place of competitive drive and motivation more than disrespect to the US and don't forget, she was giving this interview to the media in Russia. I believe some ppl are misconstructing these types of comments because they see international sports competition as basically an implied "d*** measuring contest" between countries in the same way they see national competitions as a measuring contest between, cities, states, and regions. Anyway, does anyone know if Simone Biles will participate in the individual competition?
She pulled out of the AA Final .
Russia can't win unless they cheat. That's why they can't even compete in the Olympics because of a doping scandal, not to mention how many times they've lied about their athletes age. Maybe if they tried to compete honestly they'd actually get somewhere
Haven't we beaten Russia without Simone? I believe we have. Sounds like sour grapes to me.
Where are you now that the Russians beat you in quals? I thought you were unbeatable? Before you attack me, I'm not Russian in case you think fans of Russian gymnasts are all Russians.
@@moisesojeda1085 But these are RUSSIAN gymnasts, are they not? They're from RUSSIA whether you like it or not. Lol!
@@moisesojeda1085 It still doesn't change the fact that the RUSSIANS beat the American gymnasts. Lol! Cry all you want! 🤣🤣🤣
@moises ojeda You can never change the fact that your arrogant American gymnasts were beaten by the Russians. Hahaha! 🤣 We love you Russia from the Philippines ❤
@@moisesojeda1085 You can never change the fact that your arrogant American gymnasts were beaten by the Russians. Hahaha! 🤣 We love you Russia from the Philippines ❤
this video didn’t age well
Well, they were right
If you removed one gymnast from a lot of teams, a lot of teams would lose
Valentina was wrong! Biles' scores were included in the QF, and vaulted in the TF and still Russia won. On a lighter note, USAG WAG get to bring home a medal each. Russia got the gold but I feel bad for Gerasimova not brining any hardware. If only she qualified in the beam final. A tie for bronze with Biles would've been awesome.
Russia 🇷🇺 WON THE GOLD because is a SUPERIOR Team. Don't cry dear americans and enjoy the QUALITY of russian gymnastics 😘
Don’t worry, I haven’t seen anyone crying about our silver. We’re proud of our girls!
Well… they didn’t lie lol. Saying this after the US got second to Russia in qualifications because Simone had a bad day
Let’s not forget that her team consists of two gymnasts that wouldn’t have been eligible to compete, if not for the panoramic.
Just one, not two.
Pandemic not panoramic
@@catherinegee2741 Thanks, Captain Obivous 🙂
@@kda4003 your welcome spell check king 😉
@@catherinegee2741 You’re stupid. And it’s “you’re”, not “your”.
Wow, it seemed a crazy statement...until it happened today.
i mean, i think the competition is gonna be a lot more exciting to watch in the next quad as the US victory wont be a given without biles. but i do think the americans will continue producing amazing results, they just wont have guaranteed victory
I wish I was sure of that. I'm not a fan of the USAG style...
I do agree that it would be quite possible to beat the US if Simone wasn't on the team. If you take the Worlds team members Suni, Grace and Kara, you're sure to count falls. Add Morgan or Riley to that group, and you have one very risky team. I agree that it would completely come down to consistency. As it is, I feel Tom Forster should appoint consistent gymnasts to the team surrounding Simone, rather than flashy score potential because it would put too much pressure on her to deliver if everyone is falling around her at the Olympics.
I disagree sure the us can be inconsistent but there is a video on yt that replaces simone with mykayla skinner for the 2019 worlds and we still would’ve won falls or not so it might be a lot closer yes but we would still be 2-4 points ahead
@@cuddlesofdeath That doesn't make sense. Without Simone, and counting falls from all of our top fallers, I don't see the US finishing 2-4 points ahead. That was my point. However, It's all hypothetical at this juncture. You have a blessed day!
@@mjamitche5245 You were completely right! And not to mention that Russians fell twice on beam and still beat USA by 3 points
Have to say it, there is no "I" in team. Without the backup of the other athletes, no team wins any team event. Simone is a wonderful, magnificent athlete, but she cannot win it on her own.
Well, here we are now. I think many people just underestimated the talent and consistency of Russia this quad and they certainly have gotten better as the olympics got closer. I think prior to the win, the us team was just too hyped by the media (don't get me wrong they are amazing and super talented) that no one really focused on team Russia this quad and their 3 all arounders (Urazova, Listunova and Melnikova) as much as the US team.
Cool that you keep your neutrality and objectivity on this topic. If Simone hadn't won the gold on the all around in Rio, it would've gone straight to Aly Raisman. Gaby smashed Victoria Komova in London 2012, and Sunisa could even beat Simone on uneven bars. Morgan and Laurie deliver amazing under pressure, and Jordan Chiles, as freshman, could be the new great surprise altogether. I think this will only fuel the fire. A bit disrespectful towards 1000's of USA topgymnasts. Even the Bruin Banters are topnotch class. Victory is made with love passion and respect. The Russian or Karolyi approach days are gone. USA, USA! Oh....and yes, Simone is the g.o.a.t. ....jaleous of her maybe....?✌💖💖💖🇵🇷🇵🇷👍👍❤
You know that's NOT the flag of USA, right?
Guess she was right.
And she was right. Simone Biles pulled out of the team event at Tokyo 2020 and Russia won the gold!
I want to see Japan and France on the team podium too to change things up a bit
GB got bronze and was quite a surprise. Sad for China though.
She was right! Russia won ! Congratulations russia
Well you have the answer, She was right!!
Even without Simone, the USA would need to absolutely crumble for the Russians to have a chance. An American team that hits can have 2 AA medalists, 2 bars medalists, 2 beam medalists (unlikely but possible), a vault medalist, and 2 floor medalists.
In TF they could win every event but beam easily.
Um, USA would have 2 vault medalists with Jade and Mykayla, and 1 bars medalist Suni ..
@@kevinjewell233 I just meant the team of 4. For this I'm using Jade, Morgan, Suni, and Grace
AA- Probably Suni and Grace but Grace could fall in quals (so Morgan in that case)
Vault- Jade (and Grace if she actually does the Cheng)
Bars- Suni and Grace (and Morgan has a 6.6 potential SV...)
Beam- would all depend on who hit in the final but both Chinese will probably medal)
Floor- Jade and one of the others (I have no clue how much difficulty each will go for)
@@colesmith7509 it's unlikely for Morgan and Grace to win an individual medal. Morgan is inconsistent on execution and Grace doesn't have that much difficulty as of now
@@colesmith7509 they wish they had that consistency
Riiight Russia. Seriously? The U.S. could send two teams and finish 1-2. 🥇🤸♀️🥈
Simone didn’t compete on the Olympics 2021 and I didn’t see Rusia winning gold 😂 we still got silver and now this year I didn’t see Russia in the top 3 at all 😂
I agree with you. Remove the amazing Simone from the American team and then the competition in the Olympics will turn interesting. Said that my prediction for the team podium will be gold for USA, silver Russia, bronze China.
I don't see Russia winning silver. They just don't have the consistency these days. Too many silly errors, big errors and bad form. I'm hoping another country besides the big 3 will medal this year.
@@HB-ey2dk Based on the past world championships since 2016, the Russian team kept winning silver no matter how disadvantageous they are on paper. With the new seniors, the Russian team has a higher likelihood to secure team silver.
@@cocoroni1031 you can't really compare 2016 to 2021. Russia had high level talent back then. Not saying they're not good this quad but it's definitely a weaker team. Same with China. Those countries used to be a lock for medals but now I'm not as confident.
@@HB-ey2dk I am not only talking about 2016 but also 2018 and 2019 team finals. Back in 2016 Rio, China had even a much higher D "potential" than Russia. Still, it came down to consistency and the skills to compete.
The Russian team managed to win a silver without Mustifina and with a much weaker team back in 2019. This year the new seniors from Russia have demonstrated their abilities to compete in the recent Euros. Of course the stage was not as big as the world championships but it shows that the new seniors are capable of hitting the routines when it matters.
@@cocoroni1031 hey I'm not trying to hate on the Russians, I'll be rooting for them to snag a medal too. I'm just tired of other countries constantly bashing the US, claiming they cheat, or get over scored, or shitty racist microaggressions against Simone and use those as reason why they fall flat. It's not the US or Simone's fault that they/she's better. Other countries dominated for years in the past and now that it's the US of course it's a conspiracy.
Okay well let's try this. You remove your best gymnast and we will remove ours and we will see what happens
Boom!💥
Exactly, without Melinkova 🤭🤭🤭🤭
Did you see what happen?? Hahahaha
@@RihannaCarlaMorgan yes. You didn't remove your best Russian gymnast.
@@LETMEINGUYS yup and Russia won ❤️
could team USA win without Biles in their team? its possible,, but far from a sure thing!!! Like most gymnastics teams (or any sport) its about what happens on the day, injuries, falls, big mistakes.
"its about what happens on the day, injuries, falls, big mistakes." That goes without saying even with Simone in the team.
@@aliciamcdonald7105 except when she’s on the team it hardly makes a difference. Both Suni and Grace fell at the last worlds in the team final and they still won by a couple of po8ntd
I agree. Also, you can be the best and still succumb to pressure. You gotta have it all at the Olympic level, it seems.
@@leighannjohnson1194 The other girls were AMAZING though and I think much should be said about this. They did what I believe is unprecedented so far in Olympic history. The US team essentially won SILVER medal with the contributions of practically ONLY three girls. IMPRESSIVE, INCREDIBLE and again UNPRECEDENTED!
One of the rare comments here that accurately predicted the outcome 👍
Didn't Simone biles withdraw from the last Olympics and yet the US women's gymnastics team still dominated?
Yes definitely a video on the fall of the Romania program would be brilliant.
