Nastia looks so coltish here, all long legs, braces & serious expression. She's adorable. Alicia with the 9.9! Fantastic! Should've just gone ahead & given her the 10, one last shot before they switch to the new system. Oh Jana. You & your crazy-original skills are awesome no matter what. I have this image in my head of the this beam like the kite-eating tree from Peanuts, chuckling at all the gymnasts it's caused to fall. Thank you USGA for uploading these broadcasts! They are a goldmine.
Ewww, yeah, I just noticed that and was about to point it out. I bet he's imagining the "treatments" he'll be able to give Alicia Sacramone after the competition.
@@SchlichteTovenI’m not sure he did anything to Alicia, she definitely would have spoken out by now. She was pretty strong and her coach(forgot his name) was really protective of her because they were close. I don’t know for sure though, but considering over 100 women spoke out Alicia would have if she was. Also side note but I’m really glad we can watch meets knowing there isn’t hidden molestation going on
Why did Alicia never upgraded her DTY to an Amanar? Her vault in this meet showed that she's very capable of doing one, she literally took a hop that was basically her own body length. She probably could've won gold in Beijing or even London knowing that both Cheng Fei and McKayla Maroney fell, and Marta probably would've put her on the team in 2012
Unfortunately I don't think there is anything Alicia could have done to make the 2012 team once she dropped floor. That made Aly who contributes on vault, beam, and floor more valuable than Alicia just contributing on vault and beam. Maroney would still be picked for vault over her unless her Amanar was better than Maroney's (unlikely), and they didn't need her enough on beam for that to put her on over Maroney. Ross was always going to be taken for bars/beam, given the U.S's dire need on bars. Douglas is obvious, especialy their dire need on bars again. And Wieber as World AA Champion was always a lock and potentially contributes on all 4 events in a team final setting. Once Alicia dropped floor she wasn't making the team barring an injury to someone. Yes with how Beijing and London went she could have won vault gold with an Amanar, or even without it in London, but alas I don't see her making London.
It is interesting because she had way more potential of doing a solid Amanar vault than Aly, but Mihai only pushed Aly to do it. Keep in mind McKayla was initially taken for her potential floor as well, but couldn't do that due to her injury. Besides her vault was much better than Alicia's. I also don't see how Alicia would have made the team. She was worthy but there was just too much talent to choose from. The only logical replacement for McKayla for me would have been Elizabeth Price
When is the last time we saw something as cool as Bieger’s beam combo (layouts in both directions to her knees). Granted it’s piss poor composition that will not pay dividends in competition but still memorable!
Commentator is so ridiculous...like Chellsie should have moved on at the age of 16? because she couldn't compete at the Olympics because of an injury. I don't think so.
Nastia is always so composed and articulate in her interviews, even at a young age. Great competition for her in Day 2 :).

Something is still nagging at Chellsie Memmel 15 years later. THE QUEEN IS BACK 👑 !!!!!!!
Aww crazy hearing Nastia commentate now for NBC sports and listening to her little voice back then 😂
Nastia's floor routine from Beijing is so memorable, but I also love her floor here, too!
I wish they showed more Gymnastics then the same four people.
I love watching competitions with nastia knowing she has won an olympics
Jana’s routine was ahead of her time
Nastia was so young and skinny here!! It's amazing comparing her here to what she looked like in the Olympics.
i don't think mehigh knows how to train bars, none of his girls can do it well
snofagun1814 It is common for coaches to have a weakness. Look at the Romanians who do not excel at bars across the board.
mehigh lmao
MZ83 I mean Mihai is Romanian 🤔
Alicia’s floor was AWESOME. If you were to copy and paste that routine into the floor finals in Athens 04 she’d have herself a gold medal. EPIC
Oh my gosh! Nastia and her mom are like twins!!
Jesus, Nastia even makes VAULT look dainty, I swear she hardly even makes a sound!
Larry Nassar lurking in the backroud like a Creeper

Nastia and her Dad voices sounds so cute😃🙅🏻
were there really only 6 people competing? lmao
No they just only showed 6 people

They aren’t layouts???
Please upload all women competitions I love gymnastics and I just discovered it on RUclips
Commentator is so ridiculous...like Chellsie should have moved on at the age of 16? because she couldn't compete at the Olympics because of an injury. I don't think so.
Lol. Now look at her
It is what most gymnasts did back then, apart from Khorkina.
The best floor she ever did
Gorgeous
was chellsie's bar routine in fast motion or am i just stoned...?
After Nastia's stumble off the beam in day 1 it looked like her dad asked her if she was okay. He was clearly worried when he saw she was scared.
Chelsie memmol
Nastia
Alicia sacarmone
They are straight up beautiful but the most beautiful one is Chelsie
And I’d say you’re blind.
@@willsbob123 and I'd say you don't know what an opinion is
Anna. Li 25
When I saw nascar it disgusted me that he was maybe doing this for that long before anyone knew
He was
9.9?
Iit wld seem only 4 girls competed at these championships lol.
Nastia's Pak irks me
Lol Carly said "she's so mad" to Nastia, talking about Chelsie
Except Shawn didn't beat her at the big one.
I thought that she said “you did SO well”
That seemed so stuck
Up and rude. It seems like Carly kinda had mean girl vibes
nope sorry Janger Bieger? killed it
