-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo are fast approaching. With our Team USA gymnastics team blazing the way, headed by all-star Simone Biles, it’s a very exciting time to watch gymnastics competitions. Serious gymnasts must follow strict rules if they want to go for those gold medals. They must always look in control during their routines. Even if they make a mistake, they can’t let it show. Their hair must always be pulled away from their faces. They are only aloud to wear one signature piece of jewelry. Gymnasts use a particular product that has become a staple for all competitors to avoid a certain embarrassing problem with their leotards. They are not allowed to take breaks in between tricks.
They must commit to long practice hours in order to be at their best. A gymnast had better have her checkbook ready if she wants to appeal a judge’s score. It is important to always point your toes. If you forget to point your toes, wobble trying to catch your balance, or fail to move your legs into the correct angle, points will be deducted from your score. Only two gymnasts from each team can qualify for finals, and when they do, they always bring their own shampoo. Bright lipstick is a yes, while bright nail color is a no. There is a strict no-bullying policy. And be careful not to be too excellent. Every female gymnast must adhere to these strict rules if she wants to have a shot at winning the gold.

APOLOGIES for the wrong footage for Simone Biles' triple double❤
A Simone footage mistake but, A wonderful footage nevertheless😁
It may have been wrong but impressive none the less
Also it was the double double that wasn’t rated properly
The gyms should follow the no bullying rule, because most don't. The coaches are still bullys sometimes.
It’s okay😁
I love how they used a thumbnail of Aly Raisman crying when that was actually the happiest moment of her life. She was crying because she had just won an all around medal.
So true, I didnt think of that until you mentioned it.... ha ha ha😁
Ikr I died laughing
Gymnasmic nope it was because she got 2nd but still haha
Jayden Sweeney no, it’s because she won a medal. She said it in an interview. She missed out on an AA medal in London on a tie break and was upset about it for 4 years. Also, if you think about it, OBVIOUSLY she wasn’t going to win, she had ZERO chance against Simone Biles.
Gymnasmic i’m sry i just reread it and realized that u said she won AN olympic medal, i thought u meant she won the all around
Every gymnast watching: Well, obviously...
Magda Dusová fr tho I legit relate to every rule
FACTS
Fr 😂
i do rg and i knew it all, bcs is kinda obviuous
yeah but this video is for people who don't know this
"Imagine having to fall and pretend nothing happened?"
Me: I do it on a daily basis!
That’s exactly what I thought. Lol. Why would I want anyone to know that I fell?
I no ww. bro oo
died as
me too
Imagine having to compete against Men and pretend they're women.
I think the annoying part of this video is that most of these "Rules" are not rules. They are just reasons to get deductions to your score.
@Fairy Animations exactly! They really need to research more.
TRUEEEEEEE
@Fairy Animations I think they meant don’t bend your legs too early. As in keep them straight until you land. Some people bend their legs to prep for landing prior to touching the ground, and that’s incorrect form. Legs should bend as you’re landing, but not be noticeable bent in the air. Right before landing legs should be mostly straight but not locked (obviously this doesn’t apply to every skill) and then bend as you land.
Yes! And I’ve heard judges commenting on floor routines saying that they didn’t take a long enough pause to show if they stuck the landing or not
i never thought of it that way-
I’m not sure why anyone would find this list surprising
Tokyo Diaries someone that did not do gymnastics but have an interest 🤷🏻♀️
Its fucking stupid these rules
Yea same
I made ur likes 666...
Ikr like no shit
you’re never supposed to land with straight legs. you’re always supposed to land with soft or bent knees or you will hyperextend your knee or dislocate it
Life of Kailyn yessssssssss
My coach told me to always bend my knees when I land
happened to me at practice
Yes so true u can injure ur knees if u don't
Wrong, we have to land with our knees straight or else we will lose points
“no breaks” well obviously you can’t just stop for a few seconds in the middles of a routine!
Xxseren_jamesxX x actually before a skill in level 8 through ten you can stop for 1-3 sec before a large skill to remember to breath to not pass out for safety
Ik lol
Idk I'm watching this video as a normal person I don't even like it do gymnastics
Yea, but certain levels have different standards on that, if the stop is under 3 seconds and it wasn't part of a connection you can usually do so without deductions, also many skills you are supposed to hold for about 3 seconds
I do that on the bar sometimes, but I'm not a professional gymnast or anything and also it maybe lasts for a second or too.
Lady: *Something abt 2020 Olympics*
Coronavirus: *"-No"*
iAmWatching You Sad😔
Bruh
LITTERLY LIKE MY MOM IS LIKE Hunny they cancelled gymnastics until further notice!ME:...............NOOOOOOO YOU RUINED MY LIFE (I am very dramatic)
Yeah it’s 2021 now
I'm ur 500th like
''Gymnasts don't have a very long career span since they put their bodies through so much when they're so young...''
This is why I have immense respect and admiration for the legendary Oksana Chusovitina.
Simone de B. She’s a legend. She’s been an elite gymnast for long than I’ve been alive. It’s crazy to think about it
I was a junior Olympian gymnast and quit about 3 years ago. Last year, I started having a bunch of problems with my joints, so we went to a doctor and he told me, "you're hurting because when you were doing all that intense impactful tumbling, it was actually injuring you, but because your muscles were so tight together that you couldn't feel it." Basically I was constantly injuring myself but didn't even know it until 2 years later. I don't know if I wanna put my kids in gymnastics
@@serynbooker3026 I'm sorry to hear about your health problems. I'm not a gymnast, but I have osteoarthritis in the hands and nerve problems. Wishing all the best for you and your family.
We have to work long at volleyball too but like we still have a long way to go so
And they wonder why they discourage them from doing even more insane stunts to one-up each other. Olympic athletes DESTROY their bodies. I imagine you'd be hardpressed to find even one without some persistent health problem.
7:54 did she just say... that you’re supposed to land with... straight legs...
as a female gymnast i highly recommend that you do not do that unless you want a torn ACL
Yeah my coach always tell a girl on my team to just bend her legs while landing off the beam so she doesn’t break them
One time I landed a front tuck with straight legs and my knees buckled (this happened twice in one day) and it wasn’t as bad as a torn ACL but it certainly is painful
My coach has almost yelled at me for not bending my knees
Don’t worry my coach is very nice but strict
Ya think?
Ikr you’re gonna get really hurt if you do that
I think it’s insane that an athletes’s appearance (nail color, bra strap, etc.) should have any impact on their score. ‘Pretty’ doesn’t stick a landing.
Sexist bs that's what it is.
Sucks when you've hit the wall
I think its because of the old standard of “women have to be pretty and to be able to have babies” in otherwords men just want to look at something pretty im pretty sure but i could be wrong
@@threeguineasx1391 not sexist at all. It’s a uniform/formality thing. You can see this rule in a lot of other performing sports, such as ballet, colorguard, etc
Same thing goes for male performers too
What's insane is that women have to wear those leotards and are not allowed to wear leggings. And then we have photographers making sure that they picture the gymnasts from the most embarassing angles.
‘ they could do a perfect routine but if they forget to point their toes then they get a less than perfect score’
If they didn’t point their toes then it’s not perfect 🤯
sadly yea:(
Got them there
Lol yeah :/
I still point my toes and I'm 57 !!
Perfect as in they did the routine correctly, on time, and had the face
This is just a description of the sport some of the “rules” aren’t even rules.
Yeah like any sport, of course there's rules. And of course you have to put in some effort if you wanna be really good at it, like, that's not a "strict rule"? And that it should look efforless and you get deduction from things, I mean yeah that's what the entire sport is about?
Anej Rozman yes they are
IKR Hair is not a problem with Simone I do gymnastics at WCC and she always have super messy hair and we don’t even ever use tough skin also Simone is rly nice and also I have seen her loose control and not look “ excellent” and u can’t appeal a score
Yeah even the earring thing isn’t a shocker to me. Some sports don’t allow them at all.
@@iBeFloe I’ve never even seen a competition outside of the olympics or worlds where they allow any earrings at all lol. I know my friend once got an exception because she had recently gotten her ears pierced and couldn’t take them out yet, but they were also super tiny non-flashy studs that were similar to her skin tone. This was also a very low-level competition, and she had to tell each judge at each event. THe next competition they didn’t let it fly though and she just took the automatic deduction on each event. Also-no makeup is allowed lol. At least not any noticeable makeup. No nail polish either. And I know some places require your hair to not reach past the nape of your neck too.
The rules def differ where you are and your level of competition.
Non-gymnast: "wow these are really harsh rules!"
Gymnast: "These are not strict at all!"
Edit: Omg I didn’t realize how many like I got on this 🤭 ty!!!
There not
I’m surprised they haven’t banned the produnova
Well they ain‘t so strict. And I‘m a non-gymnast. But in ballet there are some similar rules.
@@doreensavage5917 ikr there really not at all
Ikr
The talko: Everybodys excited about the 2020 Olympics
Me: um about that...
About that there's not any
Yeah. We have this thing called a pandemic.......
The more I learn the less I’m interested. Simone should get the best scores she deserves.
Everytime they said "triple double" in the video it showed a clip of simone doing a "full in"
Hey. Dumbass. They pinned a comment two months before you posted this stupid shit saying they know they messed up.
@@bingus7367 chill.
@@bridgerpack7519 then pay attention.
Ik, i was like, um that is not a triple double 😂
the bra strap and no fixing wedgie rule though is a bit ridiculous
Madison Shay it’s the same way for dance
Madison Shay the bra strap is but its a bit weird to pick your wedgie at the Olympics
Madison Shay It’s actually not that bad I was a junior Olympic gymnast and it wasn’t that hard to not fix a wedgy you just have to work it into your routine unless you have a compulsory routine
BRYNLEE SMITH but like if u have boobs u should wear a bra
I'm a male gymnast and we can't adjust ourselves on the floor either
People: Omg these rules are so strict!
Gymnasts:
Dancers:
Ice skaters:
Noopur Rahane cheerleaders:
all-star cheerleaders:
Im not a gymnast dancer or ice skater and these rules are still not strict, they are normals , there are rules in every sport
Cheer
Meanwhile, the only rule in women's hockey is "dont start a fight"
Ex gymnast here, I had to retire at age 12 because of an injury my coach inflicted upon me. I can't live a normal childhood and have had to miss out on so much. This sport is extremely taxing both mentally and physically. Anyway, we weren't allowed to wear any makeup or nail polish and I had a coach who fought to lower the score of a girl three times. No one liked her and she deserved it so it was great. I do miss this sport so much though.
*Nastia performing hs double front on floor with knees separated*
The Talko: Bad form!
Gymnasts: Umm no, it's so she doesn't smash herself in the nose...
Ashley Scott ya it’s not incorrect it’s just a different technique
The judges dont like it and I think they refer to it as cowboying or something like that. It's a bit of a cheat to get more rotation without needing to jump higher. It's like landing something with your feet apart. It's still great and you landed, but small deduction for making it easier for yourself and not doing the perfect form.
Mary Korten It’s called cowboying, at least where I am from it is
It technically bad form considering judges don’t like the cowboying technique since it doesn’t look good, although I agree that it’s necessary in some cases, I’ve gotten many loose teeth when I was younger from smashing my mouth into my knees
They actually do deduct points if your legs are separated wider than your shoulders (I believe it's your shoulders) -- like nastia's always are, lol
"if they wobble just a bit, they can lose up to ⅓ point!! That's so strict" *shows the biggest wobbles in history*
"no bullying" oooh really? wow thats so strict I just want to bully people
Lol
😂😂
Ya
Bruh
These are one of the ppl I literally HATE fr
whos gonna see their nails while doing flips?!
Actually some judges can I do competitive traveling dance and we are not allowed to wear it bc it can be spotted and if ur spotted u get points off bc
1 if it dosent match costume than obviously ur not supposed to have it
2 someone may be allergic to something in the nail polish
3. If not everyone has it than it just looks weird if ur nails are red or something and ur teammates have normal nails
4 in acro we do some flips and the judges saw a person on stage with purple nails and it would not be ok with the judges
And yeah that's why I'm not good at explaining xD
It’s too distracting to judges
The judges see everything
the judges literally notice EVERYTHING
Hailey K yes and no bc if you have short painted nails it’s fine for safety but the judges can still be distracted and if your nails are to long it can hurt you
the Talko: these rules are so hard on gymnasts!
Gymnasts: BRUH!
@Fairy Animations same
@Fairy Animations same
lol ikr
@fairysugar, same =T
Their not even strict rules it’s just how the sport is
Sydneycity101 exactly. This is normal.
Exactly! I was a gymnast for over 3 years. I thought these were common knowledge. It’s a sport for perfectionists and it’s highly challenging. Of course we have a lot of rules. And pointed toes? That’s just technique!
@@avianace6201 ligit I was so confused at to why they said that 'they need to look in control, even the judges mark them on there control' well no shit? isn't that what majority of sports get marked on? skill, technique and control? 😂why do they sound so surprised, and yeah they aren't even rules
I agree completely
@@avianace6201 I was also thinking "ok I mean of course they are meant to have pointed toes...it looks ugly otherwise" in riding your feet need to look straight foward, your seat needs to be deep and so on. Dressage is also a sport for perfectionists and that's how the rules are made.
"Undergarments showing...this is an actual thing!"
Dancers, gymnasts: well...obviously yeah
Can’t lie I just commented another comment like this I’m jr Olympic I did this once by accident and not only will your score go down u can’t stop hearing it from the coach
@@hannahkirk936 yeah ikr, I was a gymnast before and I still remember the long conversations about using the right undergarments and dont fix it when you're performing, I remember in the competitions girls that actually didn't wear underwear at all to not show it
Almee CF I feel ya the humiliation was real 😂 never again I always checked sense then
Yea, I think its one of the stupidest rules, we just got new exhibition leotards and the back is completely open besides some strings and it is not thick at all.
@@almendracerdafuentes3621 yea literally nobody in my gym wears underwear when they don't have shorts on
When Simone said “No because it’s a secret” I realized I had just watched the vogue video 73 questions and that was the last one. Lol
i’m a non-gymnast and i’m not surprised by these🤷🏼♀️
The Triple Double on floor is a J Element. The Double Double on Floor alredy is a H. The Double Double off the beam is rated H although it should be more.
Thanks🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Laura Andreas, it should be an I or maybe a J!
I should be a bit smarter
These aren’t strict rules, this is literally just how gymnastics is. And pretty much all of these are COMMON SENSE!
You could make the same list with every sport
Basketball:
1) you can´t touch your opponent's arms!
2) you can´t take more than 2 steps while having the ball piked up!
3) you only got 24 seconds to attack so you have to be fast!
4) you can only stand inside the painted zone in more than 3 seconds!
5) you must tuck your shirts down in your pants!
6) you must cover gang tattoos!
like no shit every sport got rules. Especially in those where the whole point of the sport is to have the right technique.
Get used to it. That is every stupid top 10 channel.
It’s not “common sense” for someone who hasn’t done it EVER
accept for the bra part
unhealthily addicted to s t r a n g e r t h i n g s right like that just ridiculous 🤦♀️
2:47 well i mean like obviously u cant be mid floor routine then just pause and be like 'sorry judges just takin a quick break got no sleep last night just a minute.'
I love how for the undergarments one they used female WRESTLERS
Most of these are just common sense. Like putting your hair up so you can see, and not wearing huge earrings because (among other things) your hair could get stuck in them
Or your coach/spotter's finger! (Ooouch!!!)
Gymnasts: landed a tumble pass
Nobody:
Gymnasts: realized they peed their pants a little
Who can relate to this? I know I can.
I do this at meets and I’m just like OH FRIK OH FRIK OH FRIK
In my mind
Rain Wendel I do this sometimes
Rain Wendel i remember once i split the beam on a back handspring layout step out connection and didn’t realize i peed a little and got up and there was a little wet spot on the beam😭😭😭
@@rainwendel4065 MEEEEEEEE
By the way the thumbnail was actually Aly crying because she was so happy about her routine she did.
3:45 I’m sorry- but- can we talk about her face😂😂😂😂😂
Me: *is a female gymnast*
Video: Female gymnasts must look in control at all times
Also me: wobbles on a skill
* l o s e s c o n t r o l *
me all the time😂❤️
Idk why, but this sent me
TheGymnastics 1 lol fr 😂💀
Don't most people have to look in control whilst doing their work.
TheGymnastics 1 none of my coaches ever told me “looking in control” was a rule... but oke
Well if they didn’t point their toes then the routine ain’t perfect is it
Michelle McGonigle
The judges have to concentrate on the toes, so they mustn’t be distracted by fancy fingernails !
@@myriamickx7969 i Think its more a matter of safety. Should be anyways. As a judge it is slightly distracting, but not that bad. Some leotards are really distracting though
Holy cow! Kudos to anyone who goes into gymnastics. I can’t even imagine how difficult it is to master. So many rules and so much pressure!
"The 2020 olympics has got us excited to see our gymnastics stars shine"
Or not...
And when the gymnastics association makes a mistake...like with Larry Nassar...nothing much happens to them. 😡🤬
What happened
Bronwen Williams their Doctor sexuality assaulted hundreds of athletes over 20 some years. They were warned several times but did nothing.
Sitchinite420 Your Deadpool profile is awesome, bro! I met Stab Lee 3 years ago! Also, the Larry Nassau story is horrible 😞
Though i agree FIG is corrupted, that incident had nothing to do with them.
Josh the gymnast TGI J they were notified on several occasions that Larry had been accused and THEY DID NOTHING. All the girls certainly blamed them. And since they would know best...maybe people should FINALLY listen to them and make the organization change.
No one:
*falls flat on back”
The talko: ➡️ wrong landing
Catherine It’s not even a wrong landing at that point, it’s just a fall
Sorry this is a little late, but one of the girls on my gymnastic team had bright red hair and the judges almost disqualified her. But they still let her compete and it looked very cool. The judges loved it.
Them: The 2020 Olymics has everyone excited
Me: the what? Never heard of it.
Simone's triple double was given a rating of J by the FIG. Her double-double beam dismount was rated an H which most people agree is much too low.
I know the hair and Jewelry and the bra strap one, one because I used to be a gymnast. Also the break ones. Also the long practice hours. I used to practice 3 times a week for 2. It might not be much but I was level 2 so. Also pointing toes which is harder then it looks.
Edit: Thanks for the likes!
Mine is 2 and a half but pretty much the same im in platinum
i practice three times a week for three hours every time so 9 hours a week
Yeah it’s easy to point your toes but it’s hard to remember to do so because your doing so many other things at the same time
A lot of these aren’t technically rules they must follow is just deductions that will happen if they do something. Also I practice 13 hours a week just thought I’d share
I practice 30 hours a week, 6 hrs everyday
"2020 tokyo onlymics"
me: ohohoho theyhave noooo idea
“Onlymics”
@@Just.a.small.town.girl_ we do not speak of my typos, hush my child
I started gymnastics when I was like 7 and now I’m about to be 10
Gymnastics makes myself push myself to my maximum and it makes me happy!
the images used when explaining the "long pauses before doing a trick" don't even correspond to the actual pauses before doing a trick lol
girl i’m a gymnast ive been doing it my whole life and i’ve never EVER forgotten to point my toes pretty sure no gymnast just “forgets” to point their toes
gabby kobrowski glad i’m not 😬
Im a gymnast too and it almost becomes a habit to point your toes. like you do it without noticing
It eventually just becomes automatic to the point where you point your toes even when you’re not at practice or competition. Every time I’ve ever had an x Ray the doctor always knew I was a gymnast because I always pointed my toes just sitting there 😂
Rylee Pippel EXACTLY!( I have done it my whole life too. )
It just ends up being habit. Foot off the floor? Pointed.
I am a gymnast I've never on to competitions I am a beginner but watching this is making me feel more comfortable with going to competition and trying not to lose
The Talko for this once I agree with you.Wait are you stalking me while I’m in class?!
Literally half of these are just form breaks like of course you have to look controlled it’s not a rule it’s just proper form to a skill
These aren’t crazy rules. I call it normal.
Chronically Cassidy me too lol 😂😂😂 blood sweat and chalk baby lol 😆
I agree
Chronically Cassidy as I’m from a dancing background I find these rules common sense and quite obvious really.
As a competitive traveling dancer there normal to me
I’m loving that they keep showing sense from Raising the bar
Contesting your score doesn’t just cost money but it can result in recieving a lower score since judges analyze it with higher scrutiny. At the Olympic level that costs much more than $300
Pointing toes tbh who doesn't know that
also who else do gymnastics but is not very good at it
Nobody lol
Sofya SG damn
Ahem.... Aly Raisman 👣🙈
I do gymnastics but I’m good at it 🥰 I’m a level 4
Lol me I suck at gymnastics
4:30 OMG that is the same leo I wore in level 3!!
I'm a former gymnast and my gym was extra strict on these rules. We did so many drills to prevent these things from happening. It can be stressful at Ikea ngl
Gymnastics: “hair must be pulled back right away from the face”
Katelyn ohashi: “Hold my beer”
why does she get away with it tho?
Because if your hair is short enough you don’t have to put it up that’s what I want to do but my mom won’t let me
Julf well yes cuz her hair wasn’t getting in the way, she was following the rules in her way
2019 - everyone is excited for 2020 Olympics and for the end of the decade itself!'
2020 me - yo, imma stop you right there
I can barely do a back-handspring and looking at these gymnast .........
No words
Having pointed toes just looks better so of course you should get deductions if you don’t. Same thing for wobbles and pauses. It would look so much worse if their performances had pauses and wobbles and unpointed toes.
“They can only wear a stud”
IM A GYMNAST AND WE GET TOLD OFF FOR WEARING STUDS DURING TRAINING AND COMPS
really i can wear those ring ones for practice and its fine
@@hayleysmith347 I can wear earrings for training as long as they don’t get in the way (studs or tiny tiny hoops that barely leave your ear) but in comp we’d def get deductions for having earrings. Makeup too! Unless it’s au natural~ type makeup, we’d get deductions. It confuses me how gymnasts can wear sparkly eyeshadow in international comp and be fine lol.
yup but if you have the smallest stud ever that you cant see it its good
@@nicoledolinski7402 aha ive quit gym now but i think it was because im british and they dont let us wear any type pf jewlery
@@piperx9793 oof thats harsh we can only wear the tiniest studs in the world
I love how she falls and their like WRONG LANDING. lol yea
7:20 oooofffff !!! I feel so sorry for her and her.... you know what!
😱😱😱
I mean- at least it’s not a guy-
At 0:29 the clip was from the movie “full out” like if u noticed
Miss Dino club there were also divert times in the video when they shooed that clip
Anna Simon I know
These r deductions not “strict rules” 🤦🏽♀️
Daniella Marie Yes they are
Your just not a gymnast and you don’t know what they go through
Maryn Masson I am a gymnast ._.
Maryn Masson Im level 9... pretty sure I know what they go through
Maryn Masson I do gymnastics these are not strict at all
2:50
The thing they said about no breaks. Imagine your watching you favorite gymnast and they stop, pull out their phone, eat dinner, and then say okay, I'm ready to finish my routine.
Now that’s called a break
“They have to keep their toes pointed.” Well duh. this is gymnastics we are talking about right? (Same for dance)
7:18 my soul left my body
Me two, splitting the beam hurts a heck of a lot
OMG IKR
Imagine that was a boy
TRViision i think that’s why boys don’t do beam lol
Strawberry Shiba14 lol
"Oh female gymnastics can't bully each other, what a very strict and crazy rule!" Said no one ever.
1:40 That ain't no tripledouble thats a full in
2021 now
why did they make everything about simone biles, like shes good, but not the only gymnast in the world
edit: i'm not jealous. there is just so many more amazing gymnasts out there that dont get as much recognition as they rightfully deserve.
Why r u so jealous
Fr
Like there’s another’s to
Sofya SG how does that make them jealous?
It’s because she’s a trail blazer and all round awesome competitor. I’m pretty sure they know other gymnasts exist. Relax.
1:52 Simone had more than one pair of earings.
Sometimes rules get broken!
@@TheThingsCelebrity 11:04 is even worse. She must do that a lot.
Brandon Henry lol
Brandon Henry they are becoming more lenient on that rule due to the higher up piercings are so common now and also can be used to help with stress, headaches and anxiety.
Gymnasts are allowed more than one pair of earrings....they just have to be studs
The undergarment deduction was a surprise to me. My daughter is 2 years in competitive gymnastics in Canada. I wonder how close the rules are country to country and what level they start getting more strict with them. Something to look into for sure. My daughter is level 7 at 9 years old and in Aspire 1 here in Ontario, the Aspire is geared towards top athletes in the province, I'm guessing that would include more scrutiny with the rules. Thank you so much for your video. I have subscribed to your channel, i like your content, very valuable.
Your daughter is probably only a year younger than me, I can't imagine what level she is now. I am turning 14 this year and I am barley starting beginner gymnastics again... (I have been going on and off with gymnastics since I was 7)
Ok so I commented yesterday saying I have a meet today and y’all I was so nervous caus I was sick the other half of the weak but……..
My all around score was : 38.425
Also my mom looked at the scores and apparently I beat everyone at the meet 😳😊😊
So ya I’m exited as heck right now!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used to be a gymnast. Since I was one for over 2 years, I don’t even see these as strict. I thought it was common knowledge.
As someone who has never been a gymnast, it is common knowledge and this vid is dumb
Then you don't know other people don't do this sport
lol saw a lot of errors in this video but still watched the whole thing
I loved being a gymnast was so much fun I miss it every day but I am thankful my daughter is loving it
love the video thank you
"Gymnastics is all about form"
Me: *mental* uh duh
This is a description of the sport, not rules. They aren't even strict...
Yes that seems to be the case with most videos like this on this channel. They’re still pretty good though
So true
this helped me get better at gymnastics.
I haven't paid attention to gymnastics in years...Jesus, this Simone girl is amazing. I don't know how any gymnast does those long series of flips, but her, WOW.
Hey The Talko- thanks for covering this! I was a competitive gymnast back in the day and I remember the grueling work out regimens (4 days a week for 4 hours). But you do what you gotta do to make it to the top. Did you know that to improve a gymnast flexibility, like getting perfectly straight splits, sometimes coaches sit on top of you while you're in the splits to apply more pressure, in an effort to hyper-extend your splits? It's true! Gymnastics is not for wimps!
I have very little interest in gymnastics but this video was so informative. Much respect to all the gymnasts out there! And thanks for making this vid!
I'm in gymnastics and it's so much fun I recommend that you joined it 😀😀
iv seen all the gymnastics movies you put up in there lol!
i spend 16 hours a week at the gym and i can’t imagine doing 32 like simone. absolute dedication.
i love how they act like this only applies to olympian’s- you can be in like level 3 or gold and this still applies...i can’t with this channel 😂
ya me to
I am a silver and I have practice for seven hours a week plus all the other rules
Ik same like fr jr Olympic this is what we have to go through to and everyone else 😂
Yo not huge mistake but ima gold and it’s levels 4 and 5 silver is level 3
Talko: Pointing toes?
Me and other gymnasts: Well DUH!
This is mind blowing 🤯
I’m not even a gymnast and I realize how stupid this is
Im a gymnast, and these aren't stupid. No matter how unnecessary these seem, they are very necessary.
Alaya Gutierrez I’m not saying how stupid the rules are it’s how stupid the video is. Everything makes too much sense it makes no sense how it’s under “strict rules.” The rules make total sense, I the way the video tried to make them seem.
@@lynnsetter4581 ohhhh ok
Alaya Gutierrez hi do u lose weight of gymnastics?:( I’m skinny that why
I’m a jr Olympic gymnast this sport is life to most of us it’s not stupid at all it’s what we enjoy for some it even takes anxiety off of us and stress of our home lives don’t judge something u haven’t tried
Not a gymnast, but doesn't 1:49 look like adult Jojo Siwa?
Not really
You’re right!!
Yes that's true I'm a women artistic gymnastics too. I was supposed to compete but I accidentally injured and dislocate my left arm.
That supposed to be my 2nd compete . Because i dislocate my left arm i didn't compete.
I love all the Stick It clips
I didn’t know this was going to be about only Simone...
Just about to say the same thing...
Exactly! There are many talented gymnasts
Right! Gooooooooo Simone! 😂👏👏
