Alexis Sanchez If only there was a way for them to know, so they could prevent this from ever happening. Hopefully we’ll see “progress” in the next couple of quads, sooner would be nice too. 😉
If you don’t think the U.S. selection team gave heads up and insider knowledge to the NBC media on their top picks for the 2012 team you’re GRAVELY mistaken…. And he also didn’t “predict” the team perfectly either. Yes, Tim knows gymnastics but i don’t think that’s ever been the major grievance or criticism that people have with his commentary.
LOL I predicted the 2012 team perfectly in March of that year, and I am no big gymnastics expert. Using that as your basis for propping Tim (maybe knowledgable on gymnastics, but one of the most horrific commentators in history) is silly, when this was one of the most obvious teams from a long ways out ever. Those 5 clearly fit all positions of a team finals format perfectly, and nobody else was close at that point.
I really don’t understand why everyone has such a bad opinion of Tim Dagget. He seems to know his shit, he extends grace when it comes to injuries that the gymnasts are currently dealing with, and he always shares the “back stories” which I appreciate. But it’s simply my opinion.
I think that McKayla and Gabby were the two best pure athletes of US gymnasts of that era. If those gymnasts had competed in a heptathlon, McKayla and Gabby would've been my picks to win. Well, Elizabeth Price too.
@@shrutirathaur5546 I think the problem was her coaches did a horrible job constructing her routines. She had built in deductions on floor and bars and, in my opinion, for no reason. They easily could have tweeked her floor passes to not have tha horrible third pass. The floor routine she competed just a year later in 2013 was PERFECT! and was consistently scoring in the high 14s ad low 15s. And her bars, rhat clear hip shapov (excuse my spelling) was also haunting her! There was no reason they couldn't tweek her bars routine around to get rid of that skill. Cause outside if that skill which caused her so so trouble she had great form on bars. Good legs and toes and massive amplitude on her releases. I TRULY believe her coaches failed her on her routine construction! They made those changes for 2013 and she was a much more competitive competitive around gymnast in 2013. I truly feel her coaches failed her ad if her routines were constructed more carefully I feel she would have been a great all around in 2012 and even more of a lock. All just my opinion though.
@@gymstyle5091 No it really wasn’t the gymnasts were great for the time, nowadays in 2021 we’d have to have completely different ones because of the advancements. Everyone in the team contributed in some way and they were all great.
Yeah she only started training again IN 2012. If she wanted to be successful she should’ve given her a year in advance and started training in 2011. After being away for 4 years, and then only training for a few months, she was far from ready, she rushed it. That’s what Shawn did, she started training after her injury in 2010 and that’s why she had a pretty decent 2011 season because she gave herself time.
You're right and you know Aly Raisman said that when she went back she had to train for a whole year just to condition before she even did a routine completely it's amazing the shape their bodies are in but it takes a lot of work I could never ever do anything like that :-)
I agree. Her bar set was still beautiful on the skills she did perform well so there's no doubt she could have helped the team if she started sooner. She could have done more competitions to help her train too or alter her routine until she was prepared like Shawn did. Still sad for her even now
@@willsbob123 They mean because her coach over-worked tf out of her. He didn't pace her gradually AT ALL. Which caused her body to give out. He paced Nastia strategically, and carefully, and look how different that turned out.
I cringe SO hard every time I see Jordyn’s landing on her vault. I know at the time, it sucked not making it to the all around final in London, but dang... if anything, I’m just glad that vault landing at this championships didn’t take her out of the running to be on the Olympic team period!
You know Aly Raisman never gets enough credit I recently have gone back and watched all of the events for the year and the year before for this Olympics one thing strikes me especially on the NBC coverage how little credit even in 2016 run they gave Aly Raisman it just drive me crazy! she was an amazing gymnast and they never ever gave her her props 4 just how great she was just something that struck me I thought I'd share they downplayed her a lot
They do have her as a lock for the team pretty early on though. And in 2010 and especially 2011 they do make a point that she's a rock other than on bars. The last year? Two years? Tim always points out that he didn't think one of her floor passes was even possible. Aly was always super consistent and serious, and Marta Karolyi always liked her, so they were always very favorable to her. Her bars routine often kept her out of medal contention (she placed fourth a lot, or second, at American Cups), so she tended to lose coverage to the top gymnast for the US, whether that was Rebecca Bross or Bridget Sloan, and whomever was "the best in the world." If the 2008 Olympians hadn't mounted comebacks en masse she might have gotten more coverage at national events, but they took up a lot of the time. Aly also had to contend with her coverage being somewhat taken up with discussions of Alicia Sacramone, because of their shared gym and strengths. It didn't help that Aly's original senior floor routine was a slightly modified version of Alicia's. I think she would have gotten more focus if her bars routine made it so that she actually had a chance to challenge for higher spots, if she hadn't been considered a lock for the team so early (because then there would have been tension about her making it), or if there had been fewer comeback olympians. But there was never any drama or tension about her, no injuries, just good, clean gymnastics. Her coverage time probably suffered because she was too normal. Her quality at non-bars events was always lauded, she just didn't get a ton of quantity outside of her performance time. She wasn't like Nastia, Alicia, or Rebecca, who they liked to cut to.
it's funny cause right after they spot on picked the team, they showed the fierce five gymnasts competing all in a row. Jordyn on beam, Gabby on floor, Aly on bars, Kyla on beam and then Mckayla on vault.
I do believe Nastia's inability to complete her bar routine was due to fatigue and a lack of practicing complete routines and having enough stamina to get through one in competition. Not all of the girls suffer from this problem, as a matter of fact, most elite gymnasts do not have this issue due to their extreme training regimen. In this instance, however, I just don't think Nastia gave herself enough time to prepare for the meets leading up to London.
The biggest issue with Nastia is she peaked at the Olympics. Argue all you want but this is the truth. She knew she did but hoped she could make a comeback anyway.
Part of the problem is that she has knock knees (when she stands with feet apart, her knees still touch), which probably gives her a tendency for supination. I'm surprised they didn't get a physical therapist or something on that immediately.
99.99999% sure she did it intentionally. Pause in one of her handstands and follow the shape of her legs and unsickle her feet and you'll see there'd be at least a 3 inch gap cuz of the shape of her legs. If she didn't sickle then people and more importantly the judges would have seen and complained/deducted for her legs never appearing together.🤦♂️ There's a lot of gymnasts out there that lack body awareness in the aesthetic department but watching Rebecca's gymnastics it's clear she was far from one of them, it was a choice and a really smart choice on her part to deal with a difficult leg structure and looks much better and cleaner than the alternative. Yeah it'd be great if she didn't have knocked knees and didn't have to sickle to make her legs appear together but i only see people talk about her feet and not her legs constantly being 3-4 inches apart so she made the right decision. I don't mean to sound aggressive I just always saw her as a beautiful and detail oriented gymnast and get frustrated when people hold her sickled feet against her! It was a smart choice and saved her a lot of deductions and made the overall line of her legs appear together when swinging. I know this comment is annoying and when I first noticed the sickle it hurt my soul as a dancer but when I paused and took a look at her leg structure I realized it was a calculated choice and a very smart one and was blown away that she could disguise such knocked knees and save her line. #rebeccassickledfeetwassmartaf
McKayla is just so captivating to watch. I love listening to commentators talk about her and hearing them be in much awe of her as I am. I miss her so much
To piggyback what the other lady said, Sarah Finnegan is competing for LSU and they're not only a great team, but she is absolutely KILLING IT! You can find tons of NCAA Gymnastics meets on UA-cam, and she's always featured well. Go forth and binge.😂😂
It’s crazy that Tim and Elfe predicted Gabby would only really be needed on bars and she went on to be the only one to do all four events in the team final
Its funny... Nastia kept saying this comeback was ‘all about helping the team’ but when Gabby did her bars routine Nastia looked genuinely worried. This was all about remaining relevant for Nastia and getting that bars gold.
I thought Douglas' bar set was fantastic, so I assumed she had the highest bar score of the night. But she actually placed second behind Ross-- both had great sets!!
How gorgeous is Gabby Douglas' leotard? Seriously, i keep staring at it! And i LOVE Nastia's pink gear! Pink is my favorite colour, and I just ADORE all her pink leo's!!💖🖤💖🖤
Yes if she just made a couple tweeks and stayed fully healthy she could have been a world and Olympic medalist on floor for sure. She never maximized her full potential on that event like she did on vault.
Really Elfi? I’ll NEVER EVER believe that Marta told Chow to limit Gabby’s beam numbers in workouts. I’m sure that was a misinterpretation. Karolyi’s are famous for overtraining and doing numbers in practice. Especially beam. They’re famous for it.
+Ed Clench I don't think that they should've come back. They had their time and they got the glory. It wouldn't be fair to the 2013 girls or to the talented rising seniors like Lauren Hernandez, Norah Flatley, Ragan Smith, and Jazmyn Foberg.
+Sarah Baldwin They are still having their time, though. As long as they continue to perform at such a high level, they are still going to be stars; the USA is one of the few countries that almost never has repeat female gymnasts. China, Russia, Great Britain, etc all have gymnasts competing in multiple Olympics, not the same team each time obviously but maybe one or two who kept at it and are back again and I don't think there should be anything wrong with that. Both Aly and Gabby are phenomenal gymnasts and, if they continue to be, will continue to be stars and compete at high levels. It isn't based on popularity, it's based on skill and if the newer gymnasts are able to post better scores they will be picked but if Aly and Gabby post higher scores then they will be picked and it shouldn't be about "they got the glory" and they need to make room for others, it should be about who's the most talented and can help the team the most.
These young children are amazing and they don't have fears, it's such a great pleasure always to have the opportunity to be able to enjoy always such talent as they show so expertly.
Aly Raisman always was gonna be on the Olympic team in London and no question when she came back did I think shed lead the 2016 Olympic team too. And I never doubted Gabby Douglas either for both Olympics.
I doubted gabby especially in 2016. Mainly the trials actually. She didn’t hit on beam at all. I think Maggie could’ve gone but idk. IMO Ragan didn’t deserve an alternate position because yeah she’s great on beam, but there are already 4 people on the team who are great on beam and don’t need another. Again don’t take anything what I say seriously cuz I’m not right but yewh
@@nathanielhalls1893 The reason why they choose Gabby over Maggie was for her strength on UB. It could be argued that Maggie was a stronger AAer, but her weakest event was UB bars so they wouldn't have filled the same role. It's a shame she got injured because if she had her difficulty from 2015 she probably would've made the team over Laurie.
I always wonder why the gymnasts are able to place their feet perfectly for the dismount and not split the beam, but in stationary skills it's hard to land perfectly!
I've never understood why Dagget always insists that Mckayla's vault is perfect. There is a slight pike of the hips, a leg separation on the pre-flight... but it is an absolutely incredible amanar!
If mckayla Maroney would get rid of that 3rd tumbling pass and put a double arabian instead, her floor would be much better. In 2011 she used to do a double arabian in her last pass
THey are on UA-cam. Also, the team finals are on you tube, and so is the all around finals. I have been following US Championships, and Worlds, and Olympics all summer.
Does anyone know where I can watch the full broadcast of the Olympic Trials? I would appreciate it so much.... I have looked everywhere and only found parts here and there. Thanks!
Interesting...even in 2012 it was said "if she pulls it to to her feet 3 more times both tomorrow and at the trials, she's going to London". And now Gabby is going as a bars specialist to Rio for her 2nd Olympics. I LOVE watching her on bars. She might even do Vault because she is concistent on Vault just like Laurie (they got the same scores) so maybe she'll even vault in TF.
She wasn't really an alternate. She was there for her bars and her ability to contribute strong performances everywhere else, something Maddie had to an extent, but Gabby did it better.
yes, could you please please upload the Olympic Team Trials I cant seem to find it anywhere! :( And I would love to see the full version. or if anyone knows where I can watch it PLEASE let me know. thanks!!
I got sad when Tim was talking about Kyla growing at the right time and being the perfect height. If only she were still that small, you knows how her bar routine would look like right now....
Gym Style Rebecca Actually wanted to keep doing it. She insisted to keep it because without it, she wouldn’t be considered for London. Although, she would have
It’s weird to think that if mckayla didn’t do a second vault then she would’ve been replaced on the London team by someone like Elizabeth who could help in TF on vault too.
Nastias main problem was going back into the gymnastics gym to relearn her skills, rather than going back to the regular gym and getting back in shape so that the gymnastics comes easier 🎯
Sarah Finnigan's coach Al Fong looks like the scariest toughest coach ever. And two of his gymnasts including Christy Henrich have died. Idk how some ppl still let him train their kids tbh.
Gymnast Girl who was the second gymnast that died?? Heinrich's death had nothing to do with Fong...everybody knows the story of the coach and commentator being the ones to talk about her weight. Read up on it instead of speculating.
Kris Uler the other gymnast was Julissa Gomez. She died as a result of being paralyzed from the neck down trying to do a Yurchenko vault. It was well known that she was not ready to compete it because she was extremely inconsistent, but Al Fong pushed her. She ended up missing her foot on the springboard and crashing head first into the vault. Instant paralysis. Then while she was in the hospital, her oxygen accidentally got disconnected and she lapsed into a coma and died 2 years later. She is the reason that U-shaped mat is required for Yurchenko vaults.

Okay, we'll give Tim and Elfie this one. They nailed it spot on.
These young children are amazing and they don't have fears, it's such a great pleasure always to have the opportunity to be able to enjoy always such talent as they show so expertly.
Aly Raisman always was gonna be on the Olympic team in London and no question when she came back did I think shed lead the 2016 Olympic team too. And I never doubted Gabby Douglas either for both Olympics.
I doubted gabby especially in 2016. Mainly the trials actually. She didn’t hit on beam at all. I think Maggie could’ve gone but idk. IMO Ragan didn’t deserve an alternate position because yeah she’s great on beam, but there are already 4 people on the team who are great on beam and don’t need another. Again don’t take anything what I say seriously cuz I’m not right but yewh
@@nathanielhalls1893 The reason why they choose Gabby over Maggie was for her strength on UB. It could be argued that Maggie was a stronger AAer, but her weakest event was UB bars so they wouldn't have filled the same role. It's a shame she got injured because if she had her difficulty from 2015 she probably would've made the team over Laurie.
I always wonder why the gymnasts are able to place their feet perfectly for the dismount and not split the beam, but in stationary skills it's hard to land perfectly!
Bailey Lindquist I suppose with the beam there they have a target to focus on, on floor they don’t have any markers
Also because the floor has springs underneath that are supposed to help with tumbling but unfortunately when landing on them your feet rebound.
I forgot Shawn Johnson and Nastia Lukin both tried to come back
oh my god we can't escape the hot pink
why is Rebecca bross doing tat beam dismount if she can't even do it..?
Probably pure stubbornness
I've never understood why Dagget always insists that Mckayla's vault is perfect. There is a slight pike of the hips, a leg separation on the pre-flight... but it is an absolutely incredible amanar!
Can u please upload the Rio 2016 NBC team final women full replay please
Kyla just created the dab before it was even made
That's what I said
Right
Yes
The team they created was right on point
what Jordyn did could have blown her knee. I landed like that and did my acl and minicus
During nastias bar routine she smacks her feet on the low bar
Sarah Finnegan, beautiful gymnast! Something special there
If mckayla Maroney would get rid of that 3rd tumbling pass and put a double arabian instead, her floor would be much better. In 2011 she used to do a double arabian in her last pass
thanks for uploading this!
THey are on UA-cam. Also, the team finals are on you tube, and so is the all around finals. I have been following US Championships, and Worlds, and Olympics all summer.

It's funny how the team elfi and Tim decided, was the 2012 Olympic team
they did the exact same thing this year
Wow Sarah Finnegan is so underrated
Does anyone know where I can watch the full broadcast of the Olympic Trials? I would appreciate it so much.... I have looked everywhere and only found parts here and there. Thanks!
Interesting...even in 2012 it was said "if she pulls it to to her feet 3 more times both tomorrow and at the trials, she's going to London". And now Gabby is going as a bars specialist to Rio for her 2nd Olympics. I LOVE watching her on bars. She might even do Vault because she is concistent on Vault just like Laurie (they got the same scores) so maybe she'll even vault in TF.
She wasn't really an alternate. She was there for her bars and her ability to contribute strong performances everywhere else, something Maddie had to an extent, but Gabby did it better.
I rock with Miss Sacramone....💪🏻a killer gymnast but she just seems like an "all around" awesome person.👌🏻charisma for days🙃😉
Well we did remember nastia's bars for a long time..
Hey, she stuck the landing.
yes, could you please please upload the Olympic Team Trials I cant seem to find it anywhere! :( And I would love to see the full version. or if anyone knows where I can watch it PLEASE let me know. thanks!!
I love Nastia Luikin than any other gymnast.
Ugh, Nastia’s arrogance to show up so out of shape and unprepared is mind-boggling.
Lol its hilarious though
I got sad when Tim was talking about Kyla growing at the right time and being the perfect height. If only she were still that small, you knows how her bar routine would look like right now....
6:48 she won a gold, 3 silvers and a bronze. Not 3 bronze and a silver
Liukin not forcing Rebecca to take out that stupid Patterson is inept.
Gym Style Rebecca Actually wanted to keep doing it. She insisted to keep it because without it, she wouldn’t be considered for London. Although, she would have
Nastias arrogance on full display....3 months of training there.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE SPORTS FOR ME I DID GYMNASTICS 1993
I don't know why Bross kept that dismount... throughout her career.
Nastia liukin and shannon same destyny.
1. Olympics trial injury 23 age
2. 12 years age
3. Last olympics match medalists.
Nastia didn’t get injured at trials
If anyone Nastia is like it is Carly Patterson. Both won all around gold and beam silver
It’s weird to think that if mckayla didn’t do a second vault then she would’ve been replaced on the London team by someone like Elizabeth who could help in TF on vault too.
Nastias main problem was going back into the gymnastics gym to relearn her skills, rather than going back to the regular gym and getting back in shape so that the gymnastics comes easier 🎯
PRACTICE FULL, STAMINA FULL, STRONG FULL PLAYERS......
BEAUTIFUL AND NICE PLAY.......
McKayla’s save on floor was… wow 😍
47:12 Their team is spot on!
in regards to Finnegan’s floor routine: what leap was after the switch ring? i don’t think that i’ve seen it before
[edit: typo]

I miss 2012 gymnastics 🤸♀️💞
Al misspoke about Nastia's medals in Beijing. She had a gold, three silvers, and a bronze.
USA Gym doesn't upload World Comps, I believe. They are on YT though, just search it!
Oh, Jordyn, why did you change your beam routine?! She performed the old one so well. :/
Can you upload 2011 world championships event finals? Please
40:44 you can see al and elfie and Tim in the background going like "omg"
Sabrina vega is from my hometown!
Sarah Finnigan's coach Al Fong looks like the scariest toughest coach ever. And two of his gymnasts including Christy Henrich have died. Idk how some ppl still let him train their kids tbh.
Gymnast Girl who was the second gymnast that died?? Heinrich's death had nothing to do with Fong...everybody knows the story of the coach and commentator being the ones to talk about her weight. Read up on it instead of speculating.
Kris Uler the other gymnast was Julissa Gomez. She died as a result of being paralyzed from the neck down trying to do a Yurchenko vault. It was well known that she was not ready to compete it because she was extremely inconsistent, but Al Fong pushed her. She ended up missing her foot on the springboard and crashing head first into the vault. Instant paralysis. Then while she was in the hospital, her oxygen accidentally got disconnected and she lapsed into a coma and died 2 years later. She is the reason that U-shaped mat is required for Yurchenko vaults.
i love it
where can i buy the music at 25:34
