Are we gonna ignore the fact that Elizabeth Price got a 16.050 on her second vault? Poor girl tried out for the olympics at the worst time. She peaked the same time McKayla Maroney peaked. She would’ve made the team any other Olympics. She was basically in the exact same scenario MyKayla Skinner was in in 2016.
@ciara beth considering she made it as an alternate, had some of the highest difficulty, then proceeded to become one of the best gymnasts in NCAA, clearly she doesn't 'suck'
@ciara beth she's a terrible person? Have you ever even met the girl? Her form wasn't perfect, but these days very few gymnasts have perfect form. Not to mention, she did NOT fall constantly, and I'm pretty sure she has the record for most consecutive hit routines in the NCAA, so clearly falling isn't her issue
@ciara beth name a gymnast who hasn't fallen.... I'll wait. I'm pretty sure falling is built into the sport. Second: at least in April of this year she had the record with 161, I can't find what Maggie Nichols has. Either way, she at least had the record, and that's a lot. Third: character attacks do nobody any good, fourth: can you prove it? Do you know her? What EXACTLY has she said that proves she's racist or homophobic?
@ciara beth okay first of all I have this thing called a job. Believe it or not I don't live in the comments section of UA-cam. And again I ask, what SPECIFICALLY makes her racist or homophobic? You can't just accuse someone, you have to prove it. And yes. I'm aware she fell multiple times. But again I say: EVERYONE FALLS SOMETIMES. That's the nature of the sport. It happens. Every gymnast falls. You can find multiple videos of every gymnast currently competing falling. That's not unique to her. You can not like her all you want, but you can't deny that the girl is talented and determined.
@Michelle simone was the first to do three turns in a row in that position and doing also faster than everybody did or before. Then yes it justifies that it is now one of her many signatures...
The lead picture is so sad. You could see in NASTIA's face she knew she didn't have it in her enough to pull it out. She was exhausted, upset, angry and just plain embarrassed I think. The time off and the injuries were all just too much to overcome on the time till London. She knew she would be a negative to the team, not a positive. I have no doubts that if she has had few extra months she would have been in great shape. I was so happy to see the way the crowd responded to her at the end of the last event. A class lady with grace and they treated her as such. Bravo.
@@KatieLHall-fy1hw Agreed. Plus she fell on the vault with the lower difficulty. Her amanar is what really set the bar high for her, especially since she stuck it better than I've seen anyone ever do. Vault is so underscored now, that'd probably be impossible unless you use a super difficult vault like the produnova or biles
Can we talk about Elizabeth Price for a second?? HOW was she not picked for the team?? She was amazing all around and her coaches have to be the cutest thing I've ever seen.
Right? It hurts even more knowing how injured she was during this time and at the Olympics and the horrors she went through thanks to that sick "doctor". For her to have not only the physical but mental strength too to be able to still compete is just insane.
“There's two things that pressure can do. Pressure could either break, or it could make diamonds. Pressure could either bust pipes or it can create and make diamonds. You choose what to do for it, or what to do with it, remember that.” Only competition brings out the best performance. Unfortunately, that requires winners AND losers.
I think Nastia deserved more credit, love, and respect for her performance during those 2 days of trials given her short time of training. Not a successful comeback but her existence in gymnastics really brought me joy ❤️❤️❤️ love you Nastia!
Why didn't they like Gabby? Man, I don't understand why she had to go through these types of comments, she was always an excellent athlete. 😞 Was it racism?
@@tatilalima2874 people hated on her mainly because of how her hair looked at the Olympics (which was really stupid and sad of people to do because why does hair matter when they're at the OLYMPICS competing for their country?) And because she beat komova and people felt that she only got "lucky" even though komova was inconsistent during that time and Gabby won fair and square. Another reason could be her saying on an aly post that what women wear can affect them being sexually assaulted sometimes which is NOT OK, especially given what happened to many US gymnasts. She apologized and said she was a victim too though and that she didn't mean it in a negative way. That still wasn't cool but she definitely doesn't deserve nearly as much hate as she gets
@@murasakino101 I personally felt that Gabby's AA bars were quite overscored because she had missed a few handstands that would take around 0.3-0.5 off, it was pretty much identical to her team finals routine, which I believed scored in the 15.200s, yet in the AA it ballooned up to a 15.733. Nonetheless, the vault really sealed the deal, I love Vika, but it was sad that she just stopped fighting for the landing. I had no idea about the hairdo part, that's just not right for people to hate on her for that. My only reason for slightly disliking her was because of her comment on what women wear. I kind of understand what she means, but it's still not cool, women should be able to wear whatever they want without worrying about men
Still upset that Chellsie Memmel wasn’t allowed to advance to trials. Tim once said that Marta didn’t care what you’d done in the past, the only thing that mattered was how you were doing now and I don’t think that’s true at all. Nastia definitely would not have made it to trials had she not been who she was in 2008. Chellsie had a far greater chance to make the 2012 team than Nastia (in my opinion) and they didn’t let her go to trials :/
With Marta picking the team Chellsie unfortunately did not have a better chance to make the team than even out of shape Nastia. Marta even admitted if Nastia hit just one bar routine she was putting her on the team. She couldn't even manage that so missed it. Still that gives her far higher odds than Chellsie had.
Huh? Simone landed that vault incredibly TONS of times. Watch the compilation of her nailing Amanars. McKayla rarely landed it without a big step. Simone was far more consistent on it.
Pretty nice and lovely. For the first part we see, how the intro goes, the way the gymnasts are shown training for the trails, and what Marta Karolyi says about them. It's good to see that Mckayla Maroney recovered just in time from her injury at day 2 of the Visa Championships. I felt sorry for her.
It’s a fantastic thing that Larry Nassar is now behind bars for the rest of his life. What he did to these women was so unbelievably wrong. He also sexually abused and molested them. He does not deserve to be released from jail any time soon.
Did she say she’s trying for 2020?! If so, you’re definitely right. She looks like she’s definitely been focusing more on enjoying life than gymnastics (which isn’t bad at all! Just don’t think she’s anywhere close to Olympic level )
Jasmine Leopard She has said in the past that she will try to come back to elite, but now that you mention it, I haven’t heard her say anything more recently 🤔
I don’t understand why Rebecca Bross would keep a dismount on beam that she cannot land 99% of the time. Choose a different dismount that you can land!
Queen Bee at times she would get balance checks when standing riht before the dismount, almost shaking , it shows how scared she is and unprepared to do it , valeri seems to be a coach who doesnt really listen to his gymnasts and that showed in ohashi and bross and ivana hong , theres a difference between pushing them and pacing too hard and breaking them causing injuries
Cole Smith Makes me mad that Valeri completely fucked her yet she tried to discredit Katelyn Ohashi by defending Valeri for his unethical coaching techniques
Those girls are the real super heroes. After Having to put up with that Slime Larry and still perform. Amazing ❤️ and determination. Larry God looking for you!!! He coming
No 6 months seem right, she was pretty ready on beam , bars was her biggest problem, she would just avoid that by downgrading but she never did so it showed since endurance and strength werent her main qualities
@@MeganDurka I feel like shes been doing the same routine since like 2004 or so but adding a few different twists and turns throughout the years. I was wondering if anyone else had noticed that too lol
Felt bad for Bross, but even if she was healthy, I don't know if she could have made the team. Weiber, Douglas, Raisman, and Ross were all peaking by 2012. Nastia Liukin though, I didn't really sympathize with -- she's an Olympic all-around champ, and to think she can just come back to world-class form in just a few months was a little arrogant....
I wonder how much added pressure Nastia had from her dad and her success in 2008. Did she really want to make a comeback or did she feel like she had to do it for someone other than herself?
That McKayla Maroney fall was definitely rough but it was probably the best way for her to land opposed to her neck, head, or legs that could've given her a much more serious injury.
Nastia was so beautiful here. I think she said that someone pointed out that she gained weight around this point, but she honestly never looked better than right here. Nowadays she looks much older than her 30 years.
The Liukin Gym had a tough meet here: Bross faltering (that horrific knee injury before the Trials just sucked the wind out of her momentum) and Nastia being out of shape. I was really surprised that Nastia made her decision for a comeback as late as she did (kind of arrogant on her part, really) -- she knew what type of commitment and hard work such an endeavor would entail so it was disappointing to watch her not at her best, smh....
I've tried looking it up...but no help.....i was just wondering what Shannon's code of points would be today as her 92 olympic beam....can anyone help?? would love to know what it would be worth today
Al, Tim, and Elfi are brutal...nbc gymnastics commentary has improved but yikes-hard to watch knowing what was going on behind the scenes. I feel for these girls/women 😔
It is awful how the commentaries are so lost as mic is most set to capture people cheering and screaming. The sport is beautiful but is a shame not to be able to hear the comments 99% of the video.
Seanzie P hahaha I will say that in her defense, this was 2012 when NOBODY did wolf turns (especially triple wolf turns). At the time they were still pretty unique, and different from the standing turns
@@ItsSeanzie same!!! like they're highly rated turns for a reason lol. nowadays tim and nastia always hate on them and its so annoying, like during 2018 nationals or worlds everytime someone did a wolf turn nastia would be like "NoT mY FaVoRiTe SkIlL" like girl shut up we heard you the first 10,000 times you said that
Gymnastics is hands down ONE OF THE MOST, if not THE MOST beautiful, strongest, and elegant sports in THE WORLD. This and rodeo are the sports that ALWAYS find me holding my breath from the moment they step on the floor, or from the moment the chute opens. Each contestant, I'm all like "oh, don't fall off!" Love them both. But gymnastics is my favorite, especially women's gymnastics. Just absolutely mesmerizing. 💙💙
i wanna know whats with gage and forcing their gymnasts to do ring elements on beam when most of the time the deductions wayyy outweigh the small bonus
Who else misses the 1 1/2 step outs? I feel like we don't see things like that anymore, and it really shows who can generate a lot of power from such a small step.
Nathaniel Halls I think the requirement was to have at least two saltos in one tumbling pass. So it could be directly connected or you could use a step out

Both on the pirouette and on the flight skills after!
and she didn’t lose her form either ugh we have to stan

Its incredibly heartbreaking that all of the fierce 5 were abused by him. Thank goodness that monster was put away!

The way my mouth just dropped open seeing McKayla M. land flat on her back 🥺😟 and then be praised for returning in the same competition.

Maroney is such an underrated floor worker. She really has clean twisting form.

Cole Smith Makes me mad that Valeri completely fucked her yet she tried to discredit Katelyn Ohashi by defending Valeri for his unethical coaching techniques
Do you understand gymnastics? Gymnasts don’t make the choices, their coaches do. I fully disagree with this approach, but it’s the truth.

why does that fluff intro with the gymnasts' names look like it was made and edited in imovie omg
it probably was 😭

Well triple wolf turn in beam sure is impressive, and it was clean.
Gabby is just so cute, her smile after her floor routine is priceless
2012, the year of pink and purple.
Gabby's floor routine here really shows you what a great gymnast she was - more so, I would argue, than her AA gold performance.
To think there was a little Simone Biles watching this like, "I hope one day I can be like them and compete for an Olympic team spot".
Simone actually won the US Secret Classic in the junior section earlier in the year so she was already a year away from being the world champ.
She definitely was thinking "oh I should try this wolf turn thing"
Kyla has such beautiful lines
You should see her on the UCLA gymnastics team she amazing!!!
Aly is always so confident!
When i really just want to watch more gymnastics than i watch things from 9 years ago
Nastia was so beautiful here. I think she said that someone pointed out that she gained weight around this point, but she honestly never looked better than right here. Nowadays she looks much older than her 30 years.
she did gain weight from 08 to 12, but i agree she looks awesome and that’s normal lol. it looks much healthier
The Liukin Gym had a tough meet here: Bross faltering (that horrific knee injury before the Trials just sucked the wind out of her momentum) and Nastia being out of shape. I was really surprised that Nastia made her decision for a comeback as late as she did (kind of arrogant on her part, really) -- she knew what type of commitment and hard work such an endeavor would entail so it was disappointing to watch her not at her best, smh....
hmrhuang it’s not arrogant for her to want to try. It’s not like she KNEW she was gonna get in. She just tried for it. What’s the harm in trying
Awesome upload. Just joined you. Thx for sharing 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
*she has done this vault so many times. she has never failed on this vault*
oh...............
Elfi talking about how “unique” Sarah Finnegan’s mount is. Oh, if only they knew 😂
How literally EVERYONE hates wolf turns now...lmao!
I’m just confused on why she calls it a mount, when it was the first skill after her mount..
You can see how exhausted Nastia is, she just wasnt ready
I've tried looking it up...but no help.....i was just wondering what Shannon's code of points would be today as her 92 olympic beam....can anyone help?? would love to know what it would be worth today
Love Wieber's old school leo
Al, Tim, and Elfi are brutal...nbc gymnastics commentary has improved but yikes-hard to watch knowing what was going on behind the scenes. I feel for these girls/women 😔
It is awful how the commentaries are so lost as mic is most set to capture people cheering and screaming. The sport is beautiful but is a shame not to be able to hear the comments 99% of the video.
Omg months before Gabby won an Olympic gold medal in AA
Of course Elfie’s favorite skill is a wolf turn
Seanzie P hahaha I will say that in her defense, this was 2012 when NOBODY did wolf turns (especially triple wolf turns). At the time they were still pretty unique, and different from the standing turns
Owen Bazigian Fair enough 😂 I personally don’t hate them when they’re done impeccably
the shade though :D
@@ItsSeanzie same!!! like they're highly rated turns for a reason lol. nowadays tim and nastia always hate on them and its so annoying, like during 2018 nationals or worlds everytime someone did a wolf turn nastia would be like "NoT mY FaVoRiTe SkIlL" like girl shut up we heard you the first 10,000 times you said that
@@owen5823 great replies :o)
Can't we allow one wobble on beam?!! The first one free, at least?!!🤷🏻♀️
Aw cute, I never noticed Liang Chow starting the audience off clapping during Gabby's performance
Looks like a great video. I can't hear the commentators over the cheering though. That's hard. I'm interested in what's being said.
I want to be just like Kyla Ross one day
don’t we all
Valeri's gymnasts always looked miserable
I noticed that too. Wonder if he’s abusive
Becky B wouldn’t be surprised.
They also always look broke.
They're pretty good too.
I think they are just very focused and determined. As an athlete myself it’s hard to overcome pressure sometimes, and to put a smile on everything.
Gymnastics is hands down ONE OF THE MOST, if not THE MOST beautiful, strongest, and elegant sports in THE WORLD. This and rodeo are the sports that ALWAYS find me holding my breath from the moment they step on the floor, or from the moment the chute opens. Each contestant, I'm all like "oh, don't fall off!"
Love them both. But gymnastics is my favorite, especially women's gymnastics. Just absolutely mesmerizing. 💙💙
Gabby is my favorite BY FAR
the music in the first two minutes is so 2012. also people not hating marta back then is so weird. times have change
i wanna know whats with gage and forcing their gymnasts to do ring elements on beam when most of the time the deductions wayyy outweigh the small bonus
48:29 Aly on beam is my favorite
Who else misses the 1 1/2 step outs? I feel like we don't see things like that anymore, and it really shows who can generate a lot of power from such a small step.
was it like a requirement in 2012 for everyone to have combination passes? Almost everyone had 1.5 step outs in their floor routine.
@@nathanielhalls1893 hmm it might have been, I'm not sure! Maybe it was just an "easy" bonus, but that's a really good point.
Nathaniel Halls I think the requirement was to have at least two saltos in one tumbling pass. So it could be directly connected or you could use a step out
I remember a step mattered between gold silver or bronze
old code of points, that's why they changed it. Everyone was getting 9.95s at the last meets and sharing medal placings.
@@easytoslip ?!
@@lpoco0006 lol no idea what "?!" means. You're surprised? use your words! what do you mean!!!
@@easytoslip i was confused because I thought you were talking about the cop from the time of those trials
I remember when Nastia lost the first place coz she had 0.00(0)10 points less than the other girl xd
Just love jordyn wierber’s gymnastics. I wish she had had an all around chance in London.
McKayle well win the vault 2021 for sure. bring home the gold
This was my era
Does anyone else find it difficult to focus on the athletes during the floor routines? I wish they could somehow make the background less busy
48:07 Al being nice and funny and playing down Rebecca’s errors with jumpier was actually kind of nice to see
Just a question but how would u go into the Olympic trials for gymnastics
