The back too! I have a friend who has been a competitive gymnast for 12 years and she has terrible chronic back and hip pain now because of it. It really takes a huge toll on the body
These are all so heartbreaking. Bross’s injury was so bad and hard to watch. Thanks for this though, it’s good to have all of these in one video. Aliyas vault was so good til that landing. Imagine if Ellie actually tried that 2nd vault. So glad she stopped.
@@angelabordack As someone who has had the same knee injury and required major surgery afterwords, I canNOT watch that. As soon as I saw her name pop up in the video, I had to fast forward. I saw it when it originally happened, and brought back horrible memories for me. Nope, nope, nope nope!
It just shows how much of a beating the body- knees in particular- takes on vault… or any event in gymnastics. It’s a shame as many of these ended the athletes shot at the Olympics.
2:54 That's Larry Nassar there on the left! At 3:15 his name can be seen on the accreditation badge. So she was not getting the best care there, more the opposite!
he's now serving up to 140 years in prison for child pornography and sexual molestation of olympic athletes in their early teens. He was stabbed several times in prison by other inmates. He is living his best hell!
Makes me sick. My male landlord sexually assaulted male tenants for years. He was married to a woman and had 3 adult children. He was known to SA men for years. He was a deacon in his church and acted hyper religious all the time. When I complained about him SA me, I was then illegally evicted from my home of over 16 years. It has been 8 years, but it breaks my heart to this day. I miss my former home terribly.
After already receiving a 0 on the first vault I wouldn't have even considered doing the second one. Even if she scored perfectly it would be a 7.6 average which doesn't seem worth it.
And I wanted nothing more than to become a gymnast when I was small, however childhood circumstances didn't allow this. Godbless all those got injured during this video.
Mustafina is such a tough cookie. She had just torn her ACL, but she stood to complete her salute to the judges. She also came back relatively early considering the gravity of the injury and nailed the 2012 Olympics. What a sportswoman!
Yall say anything. Gymnasts were dying from Injuries during your time. Safety has improved significantly. Gymnasts are encouraged to be muscular instead of fragile and thin like before
@@leelab8307 Team Romania would also like a word. Pushing the limits in elite gymnastics was ALWAYS a thing. Yes if you look at gymnastics from 1970-2024 it looks like a big jump, but it’s just been a slow progression. Also if anything, gymnastics is getting way safer, with abuse being called out(still pretty bad though), and athletes not being pushed to peak early, so we are seeing way more gymnasts in their 20’s and 30’s.
That's just not true. Literally just watching a routine from back then it's pretty obvious the safety rules weren't nearly as strict. For the uneven bar routine the bars were closer together, gymnasts were bouncing there hips off of the bars which was sure to leave bruising, they were standing on the bars or doing tricks over the bars. On the floor they would do these crazy diving tricks that, if gone wrong could end up seriously gnarly, and on beam they did these tricks too. Maybe the routines were safer because you weren't doing gymnastics on an olympic level but what you're saying doesn't add up with routines you can find here on youtube from back then
2:03 Was that sound her hitting the mat, or was that the sound of bones breaking? Whatever it was, it was sickening. Poor kid, she is in so much pain :(
These girls are incredibly brave to throw their bodies around like that -- never ceases to amaze me -- I have great admiration for them as athletes -- at the same time, I fear for their safety
I was in Gym when I was very very young until about 11 bc I got so tall. I still struggle with bad bones and back from years of backflips and falls breaking bones.
Gymnastics isn't like most sports. The peak years are much younger and also a smaller window. When your young, your body can tolerate more, then when your older in gymnastics
No.. that's not the solution...these girls start two years old...the older you get the harder it is your body..that's why alot gymnasts retire at 20-21yrs old..though we are on an upswing age wise presently...But Simone is the exception to alot rules
If so many are being hurt, there is something wrong with the conditions and equipment. It’s simple stress analysis, and physics. The Olympic Committee needs to do better to protect these athletes.
I think it was the Sydney 2000 games where they realized the vault was set 5cm too low. That could have been as tragic as this compilation. These are brave, tough young ladies.
What’s so sad is that these women train so hard, sacrifice so much, are injured or end up miserable later in life from the constant stress on their bodies and the few that are lucky enough to get a Wheaties box end up with a Go Fund Me when they are sick but if only they played football. Then they could literally be paid MILLIONS to be lay college football so that you can then go on to make tens of millions in the NFL. Sometimes hundreds of millions. Hmmm. 🧐
A scratch is when you walk up to the table and touch it before saluting. I think she was considering attempting the vault but ultimately decided not to push it
That coach at 2:12 looks like he was more concerned about keeping the athlete quiet than in consoling or calming her. Trying to cover her face with his hand?
All of them continued their careers. Riley McCusker: Injury occurred at 2021 Winter Cup. She went on to compete at the US national championships and Olympic trials that same year on uneven bars only, with some feeling her work was strong enough that she should have made the team. She currently is competing at the University of Florida with two years of eligibility remaining. However, she has not competed vault nor floor since this injury and missed the 2024 NCAA season with injury. Aliya Mustafina: Injury occurred at the 2011 European Championships All-Around Final. She went on to have one of the most storied gymnastics careers in the sports history. She competed at the 2012 Olympic Games only a year later where she became the most decorated gymnast of the competition, leaving with a gold on uneven bars, silver in the team and two bronze medals in the all-around and on floor. She repeated all but her floor medal at the Olympics in Rio four years after that in addition to a multitude of medals won in 2013-2018, including winning the world title on beam in 2013. She retired in 2020 and is currently coaching the Russian junior national team. Rebecca Bross: Injury occurred at the 2011 national championships. She returned a year later, competing at the 2012 national championships and Olympic trials on bars and beam. She hit 3/4 of her bars routines and was a bit shaky on beam. She did not compete vault or floor after her injury and retired shortly after missing the Olympic team. I think she’s currently a nurse though someone can correct me if I’m wrong. Ellie Black: Injury occurred at the 2012 Olympic Games. She’s competed every single year since then and is the best gymnast Canada has ever produced. She has three world championship medals (the most for a Canadian gymnast) including a silver in the all-around in 2017 (best finish by a Canadian to date) and placed 5th in the all-around in Rio and 4th in the balance beam in Tokyo. She made several individual finals at the world championships last Autumn and is guaranteed a spot on this summer’s Olympic team assuming she remains healthy. Asia D’Amato: Injury occurred at the 2022 European Championships. She’s competed in both 2023 and 2024, but both seasons have been cut short to ACL tears, at a World Cup in 2023 and just recently at the European championships this year.
I'll always have a soft spot for Rebecca Bross, during her competing years I was one of the ones who rooted for that WOGA three-peat NBC overhyped. Truthfully, I was devastated by Mustafina she was in her prime in 2010/2011 before her ACL. She didn't need to do that vault to win, she could have just done a DTY. I would have loved to see Biles up against the Mustafina of 2010 that would have been a showdown.
Hey, here's a wild and wacky thought : what if gymnastics outlawed the more dangerous vaults? Should we really be expecting these girls to risk life-altering injury for our entertainment?
Can't imagine why parents allow their children to try to get in the Olympics. Games are supposed to be fun, not hurt. I don't believe it is right to train kids to try to hurt each other in football or hockey or soccer. Or baseball for that matter. Tennis is not so violent and it is fun but games that injure or put stress on kids is something that should be reviewed. No wonder there is so much mental anguish. Gymnastics is brutal.
Because I don’t know anything about this sport I can’t see where these gymnasts are injured. I mean they are landing a little off but they are landing on the cushioned mat. I guess it’s just my ignorance
Vdd por isso é super arriscado os giros de pirueta no solo e salto, se não tiver altura e velocidade suficiente pra girar ou chegar ainda em rotação o joelho não aguenta, foi assim que Rebeca Andrade teve três ACL no joelho. Por isso os treinos e a confiança no dia de competição são primordiais, mas acidentes acontecem infelizmente 😢
And somehow this channel “forgot” to put in one of the MOST ICONIC vault injuries In gymnastics history, at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, where Kerry Strugg was the last to vault, the Russians were on their tail, Dominique Muceano had just landed on her ass both vaults, and after three rotations of near flawless, but difficult routines (bars, floor, and beam), they suddenly caved to the pressure and seemingly were falling apart, allowing Russia to gain traction. Kerry Strugg vaulted after Dominique, performing the same vault, and landed on her ass, just as her teammate and hurt her ankle. She was noticeably limping, and implemented mind over matter and vaulted like her life depended on it, sticking the landing beautifully for a mere second, saluting, and then standing and hopping on one foot, making her way to the floor, on all fours; obviously in pain. She was taken to the back and splinted up, Bela prevented the medical team from immediately taking her to the medical facility, as he told them her gold medal will come first, as she had earned it. He carried her for a victory lap around the gymnasium floor and with the help of Shannon Miller, she hopped up with the rest of her team (no pants; leotard and jacket only) and received a beautiful bouquet of mixed flowers and one of many medals now decorating her achievements. This was one story that had a happy ending, which Strugg proved to herself and the public that she WAS mentally tough, she could hold it together when it counted, and not fall apart, as the perception of American coaches, the team, the U.S. Gymnastics Organization, commentators, and the public’s perception was quite different. Strugg ended her career with a gold medal, although unable to compete due to the injury in the Individual All Arounds, which she had qualified for; regardless, she proved something to herself that day. Gold medal or no gold medal, she showed the world she was tough and had the ability to perform under the most intense pressure. That’s champion material and she was injured while vaulting.
I wondered about that too. At the Olympics in Sydney all the gymnasts were getting hurt because the vault was set 5cm too low. I think that might be what's happening here.
The trauma on the hips, knees, and ankles for gymnasts is incredible. It's amazing there aren't many more injuries during competitions.
The back too! I have a friend who has been a competitive gymnast for 12 years and she has terrible chronic back and hip pain now because of it. It really takes a huge toll on the body

Omg same, I always used to ask my mom why she didn't take me to the gym when I was little.
However, now I think I'm so lucky that it didn't happen..😅
I had to fast forward through Bross! I just can't! 😢
For Rebecca , I can even hear the crack 😢
That girl went through so many injuries.
Such a damaging sport for young athletes.
Why always say-Shuut? Let a person cry when injured.Why hush them up? It is surely painful damned.
exatly..they are not allowed to release their pain and pressure. it's their body, their pain and their right to express themselves and be human.
It’s a way to deal with bad injury’s and can take mind off and to also settle down and take a breathe or sometimes it’s a coping activity
Crying when injured is what children do. Adults aren’t children. Crying over an injury is unfortunately considered childish in today’s society.
@@AndysAppleFarm-aaf Todays society? It was mostly done in the 1900s-1990s

These young ladies are so brave, run so far, so fast and then throw yourself onto and over.
These girls are too young to stress their joints to this level. Please limit Olympics to over 18 for all sports. Give these kids time to get grown.

Yeah it happened before and then one girl didn't get to redo it but the other girls did
Young immature bodies getting hammered😢
The second one made me almsot cry i felt the pain that hurt and she was screaming in oain
In Ellie black one was she wearing socks?
The body is not meant to take this immense pressure!
Of course isnt our bodies have their on limits take mine for example i twisted my knee in this 3 years and still hurts so much
The reason I would never want my daughter to do gymnastics
Well, you're a completely right.
Pray for healing
It’s the way they land, legs fully extended on a rigged mat 😅 think that’s why they getting hurt
What could’ve been with Mccusker. 😢
Sad that all they care about is the failure, not an injured girl.
