  • Gymnastics 6 amazing balance beam workers.
    This artistic gymnastics video compilation features 6 of the most amazing beam workers throughout gymnastics history.
    For this video, form, execution, height in the leaps, as well as the difficulty have been taken into account.
    Whenever a gymnast successfully performs a skill for the first time in a FIG gymnastics competition, it is named after her, so some of the elements shown in this video have been named after gymnasts.
    List of gymnasts:
    6 - Nadia Comaneci (ROU).
    5 - Shannon Miller (USA).
    4 - Tatiana Gutsu (URS, UKR).
    3 - Yang Bo (CHN).
    2 - Tatiana Lysenko (URS, UKR).
    1 - Catalina Ponor (ROU).

    I am ashamed to admit that I was not super familiar with Yang Bo's beam work before this video. I was absolutely enthralled watching her flexibility. Shannon Miller will always be my favorite gymnast ever, and Catalina Ponor's beam work is magical. Gutsu and Lysenko are forces in their own right. Awesome list!

      Yang Bo has one element named after her, which is a beautiful split jump with her body arched and her head dropped back, you can see it on the 2:51 minute mark.

      This is Yang Bo's best recorded beam ever. She was phenomenal, but generally unlucky when she needed to hit the most. However, at the world cup, she deserved a 10 on this routine... ua-cam.com/video/XwbLfU3pJ2k/v-deo.html

      When you make a video with just 6 amazing gymnasts on beam throughout history, you have to make sacrifices and leave some great gymnasts out. Anyway, you can see both Nastia and Shawn on many other montages I made, for example on my "6 Amazing US Gymnasts" video.

    Catalina Ponor and Shannon Miller are my favorite beam workers of all time! I understand the omission of Shawn Johnson though. While she is incredible, she really only had one routine over the course of 6 years ish. These ladies had long careers with many different routines and skill types.

  • @jerrybaena6161
    @jerrybaena6161 4 роки тому +7

    Oh Catalina, I also believe she's the queen of beam, she accomplished such mastery in this apparatus, she has a set up and confidence like no one else, almost no fear or respect for the beam.
    As 2019 came and she did gave no signals of coming back i thought it's over she retired forever, but now as Olympics are delayed one year more I don't know, maybe the stars are aligning for one more comeback. I believe she still has the hunger of competition, I pray to gym Gods for a miracle.

    For me the Balance Beam is the epitome of gymnastics as it combines it all: strength, flexibility, balance, fearlessness and nerves of steel...as so much as life itself. Beam work for me is a metaphor for life, as it is all about finding the balance and pushing through courageously...:)
