I love the British commentators. I wish Tim Dagget would just disappear. Tired of his commentary. He has been around since 1984 when I started following gymnastics. Time to go. Next generation please.
Shawn is great but these commentators are always positive and fun, regardless of the nationality of the gymnast. And this routine deserves all the excitement.
I love how their love of the sport shines through their commentary. Of course they want to see their compatriots do well, but above all they find joy in seeing their sport performed as well as it can be done. This was a routine for the ages. In the 2008 quad they had to pack more difficulty into a routine than ever before or since, and to perform it without even the slightest wobble was amazing.
honestly i thought this was better than her performance in the event final . either way she is probably one of the strongest most consistent gymnast that the us has had on balance beam
She makes it look easy, when it anything but. The strength, the speed of some of the moves, and the body control. An amazing feat of athleticism. One of America's best.
i have neeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeerrrrr seen a beam routine that solid! not from her, not from anybody. this is by far the best that ive seen her on beam. nooo idea where they found deductions, except maybe for lack of flexibilty, but shes always lacking during every beam routine, so this should have been her highest score ever, possibly the highest score ever on beam! no idea where they took points off
@@2345678902345671 Simone I've seen make adjustments. Its ok though. Her degree is difficulty is amazing. I think it just makes for a different aesthetic. I loved Shannon as well. They are all so unique and beautiful gymnastics to watch. I can see why Simone looked up to Shawn when she was a junior. Both are so powerful.
Triple series is just so satisfying. I have never seen a beam routine that would make me watch it all day and won’t get bored. Her confidence and concentration is just superb. No one can beat her in terms of confidence and consistency. NONE! Not Simone, not Shannon
But if you think about how she was competing and training every day during the Olympics, the beam final was the last day and so her being able to do almost exactly the same as qualifications shows just how incredible she was. That’s why judges give more leeway later on in the Olympics.
This was criminally underscored. HOW on earth did she qualify with 15.975 and get a 16.225 in finals? Her finals routine was tentative for Shawn, but this was sublime, the best routine I’ve ever seen her do.
Judging tends to be much harsher during the beginning of a competition. As the days go by, once the finals have come, the judges are quite tired and they become less strict.
She didn’t hit her splits and her chest was on her lap in the dismount too. She piked the dismount at the end too. There were deductions but not as many as they took.
I've seen a couple comments alleging that the leaps would incur .300 deductions, this is incorrect. In the 2006-2008 COP (and current COP) the split position had to be more than 20 degrees short of 180 to warrant a 3-tenth deduction, and Shawn's leaps definitely were not THAT off, so they are only .100. This is how I believe the routine should've been scored: .1 deep landing on full twist .1 switch leap lack of split .1 split leap lack of split .1 dismount form .1 dismount deep landing (.300 if we're being harsh but given the relative scoring in Beijing, I think .100 is fair ) .1 step D score 7.0 + E score 9.4 = 16.400 (16.200 if we're taking .300 on the dismount landing position)
This is absolutely right. Everyone on here is judging her based on the code now where a GREAT beam routine is only around an 8.2 E score. 2008 quad would have less than a point in deductions, and based on those scores at the time, this was HIGHLY underscored.
I know exactly nothing about scoring in gymnastics, but I have a raw appreciation for the sport and I so appreciate you breaking this down like this!! This makes me understand what everyone is debating so much better, thank you ❤
@@Jaycee1200_ No, everyone on here really isn't. She got hit with 0.3 on each of two very low landings (chest in her knees and hands at ankle level), plus 0.1 for the dismount landing step and 0.1 for each of two split positions, and she's at 16.000 with ZERO other deductions (like the LOSO flexibility or landing dismount with legs apart, for example). She started from 16.900 due to beginning the turn with her free leg a tad low.
@@gracemon2oe Why trust a stranger on the internet just because they're confident? Caroline doesn't even have the start score correct, and there's simply no way the judges could justify taking only 0.1 on those two deep landings when she landed with her chest in her knees and her hands either *BELOW* the beam or at ankle level. They each certainly incurred 0.3 because a person cannot physically land any lower than Johnson did without putting her hands and/or knees down, therefore the judges have no choice but to take the maximum penalty which was 0.3 at the time. For both the standing full (lands with her hands below the beam which you can actually see in real time) and the dismount (again -- chest in her knees and hands level with her ankles). Anyhow the point is you almost never learn about gymnastics scoring from youtube comments lol
Unbelievable that this didn't score in the 16s. The only visible deductions are the lack of flexibility on the split leap, low chest on the full twisting tuck back and a step on the landing. Crazy!!!
@QPHashSS77 Chest positions on tucked full and dismount, lack of splits, flexed feet and leg separation on layout. Judges deduct on many things other than balance checks you know
The best BB exercise ever! I mean, in the gymnastics artistic history! I know what I say, just because I know this field from 1974. Just, amazing Shawn! And I can even say, there is no gymnast nowadays who can approach to this performance!
Essa sem dúvida foi a melhor apresentação da história da Shawn... Amo, amo, amo essa baixinha linda de Des moines. Essa nota foi o maior roubo da história da ginástica. Essa série foi quase perfeita... 16.325 para ela ! Ainda bem que ela foi campeã olímpica !
How was this a 15.975?! What were these deductions for besides that small step on her landing which was most likely maybe .1(just guessing!)... and she usually wobbles a bit on her full turn on beam and she did it perfectly here! Maybe a few flexibility deductions on her split leaps but honestly, she should have gotten a 9.6 execution score maybe even HIGHER!
14 years ago and this routine is imbatable. A perfect gymnast, perfect timming, perfect monent and perfect OLympuc gold medal. Congrats again, Shawn Johnson!
Me: I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS SCORE! Content Creator: 💡 I know! Lets end the video right before they announce the score! Lol but thank you for the upload! This routine will go down in history!
Her and Shannon Miller are my fave bean workers. Both impressing with huge difficulty but very different gymnasts. Miller was elegant and almost ballerinaesque whilst Johnson could tumble on beam like she was on the floor.
@Sephoraholic07 There aren't any medals given out during any qualification event, it's just for determining if a gymnast will compete in this event, the all around, etc. But yeah this beam routine was so much better than the one b she did in beam event final which she won gold in!
Nunca más se volvió a ver la elegancia, delicadeza , elasticidad y gracia como Nadia Comaneci. Nadie les quita la perfección de sus saltos pero carecen de lo antes mencionado.
Pues Nastia Liukin, Aliya Mustafina y Viktoria Komova en el pico de sus carreras tenían todo eso y más, los movimientos debían ser más difíciles por la época pero mantenían un estilo elegante y bello.
Example of what the judges might have taken: .1 deep on full twist .3 switch leap .1 lack of split on LOSO .3 split jump .1 deep landing dismount .1 step dismount = 9.0 E (real E was 9.075) She had two .3 deductions in there somewhere and those are the only elements I can see worth deducting. If not the leaps then the two deep acrobatic elements. But given that the chinese got away with deeply landed acro, I'm guessing it was the leaps.
...a lie that was irrigated, and so, the stupid judges deduct more points (from the start of the competition, specially at the All Around, judges showed more preference for Nastia Liukin and Jang Yilin; although, Shawn execute the most difficult skills), the judges were biased; completely!
Makes about as much sense as the comments stating this deserved a 16.700 (which would have required a 9.800 B score as she was awarded a 6.9 difficulty score, most likely due to starting her turn with the free leg a tad low). Meanwhile her hands were BELOW the beam when she landed the standing full and her chest was nearly touching her knees, with the dismount landing being nearly a carbon copy. All that to say, 0.3 body posture deduction on *both* landings, plus 0.1 for the step on dismount and 0.1 for landing with legs apart ... not to mention the flexibility deductions, which even if you only take 0.1 on each split position that puts her at 9.000 + 6.900 = 15.900
She had 2 .1 deductions on her leaps for not being 180°. And a .1 step on the landing. I think where they may have been super harsh is the fact that her landing is not right in front of the beam it's off to the side. The could take 5 tenths if they wanted to . And trust me they wanted too
Perfect acrobatics but I lost interest when the Americans took over, bulked up and sacrificed ballet for tumbling; the Romanians and Russians balanced the two beautifully.
I agree. Nowadays gymnasts até great acrobats, but they can't dance tô sabe theys lives. It is just jump trick trick and some shaking hands. The floor routines lost any connection with the music.
As perfect a this routine is ...there are deductions...... Her standing back full she lands with her chest low......her lack of flexability and her low landing on the dismount and the step
I wish the american commentators were this positive! Listening to the americans is painful, they are so negative and always looking to see whats wrong, speaking doubt, its just obnoxious and dramatic, Im all for the british commentators!!
Imho the bigger deductions would have come from her split leaps, which were sub 180, one of them noticeably so. Also could have taken a bit from the low chest height on landing the tuck full or the full-in? And a tenth for spite bc Shawn Johnson is too much of a G...

Criminally underscored. Even compared to her TF, AA, and EF beam sets.
She’s the best beam worker the US will ever see

She still a better beam worker than Simone. Shawn’s consistency was unparalleled.

this was better than beam final and beam final got almost 3 tenths higher
judging panels are different depending on the phase of competition.
@@jorgebonilla2234 That is true, judges tend to get softer as the competition goes on

You are correct but different judging panel
They could have judged her very critically on her split leaps. Hers have always looked a bit tight because she has shorter legs.

@@jgsh8062 Maybe it's also relative? Like scores go higher or lower depending on how things were scored earlier in the competition?
in my opinion this should've scored higher than her gold medal routine....this was so controlled its ridiculous!
this deserved a MUCH higher score. around a 16.7. how this didn’t score in the 16s is beyond me.
it's called splits. she's required to hit them.
Jorge Bonilla This was better than her finals routine. Possibly her best ever this score was a joke.
She didn’t hit her splits and her chest was on her lap in the dismount too. She piked the dismount at the end too. There were deductions but not as many as they took.
16.700? I think not. It was a fabulous performance but .3 deductions is unrealistic.
Jorge Bonilla sure but that’s only like two tenths and in the finals she scored above 16 even though this routine was better
The best beam routine of those games! Perfect! She needed that in AA! (Although it would not have affected the rankings)!

.1 dismount deep landing (.300 if we're being harsh but given the relative scoring in Beijing, I think .100 is fair )
.1 step
D score 7.0 + E score 9.4 = 16.400 (16.200 if we're taking .300 on the dismount landing position)
Okay no way I was about to post this exact same comment… I have the exact same deductions for a 9.4

best of all time ~ incredible
