I know!! This new generation of Russian gymnasts are quite reminiscent of the older pack from the early 2010s. That real balletic grace and fluidity. Great to see Actual artistic elements combined with gymnastics. I love to see it too!
What an exciting time for Russian gymnastics, as a fan, have been waiting and wanting this new generation to break thru and here they are. What a win for Viktoria. I expect her and Vladislava to really shine at Olympics and Worlds. Can’t wait
She has so much potential. She have a good chance for all around, bars, and floor. Hope she will upgrade her vault into amanar because her baitova is really good and she have a good heigh on it.
@@alexgaming8834 to her credit, Listunova absolutely shined in the team final. And Urazova was so close AA. I prefer her, but I’m okay it was Gelya because the youngsters have years ahead to shine.
you can tell russian gymnasts incorporate ballet training into their regimen. they prep correctly for turns (weight forward, port-de-bras placed evenly through shoulders and back for the most part), and their turns are even and controlled. their lines on ub, bb, and while dancing on fx are entirely created by barre training/balletic conditioning.
She even makes a wolf turn look beautiful. BTW, I am so happy Russia seems to be back. Was the biggest Komova-Mustafina-Grishina fan and was sad seeing their declines.
I had that same thought! I was listening to people talk about how gymnasts should stop doing wolf turns because of how sloppy and ugly they always are. But hers were actually nice and not flailing.
@@DL-sl3nt i agree with you on that, the swing to half is basically a built in deduction, but i think other parts of the routine are pretty original? i don’t think i’ve seen a shaposh + ricna in awhile excluding seitz (correct me if i’m wrong). also not many gymnasts do a pak out of a pirouette these days. it was also nice to see something other than a piked jaeger from a russian gymnast (i personally don’t like the technique they tend to use on it)
@@DL-sl3nt i just meant it was different from the same routine (inbar pirouette + komova II/maloney + pak + van leeuwen | inbar half + piked jaeger | toe full + double tuck full) that we see from mustafina, melnikova, spiridonova, urazova, the list goes on
So graceful! I love the way Russian gymnastics always is so much more than any team in the world! The American team resembles a bunch of thumping bears beside these swans!
@@RiddlerIrk that's the reason why Komova burned out so young. She had one of the hardest beam difficulty in the world at 12, but suffered from all kinds of injuries at 16 onwards. These new seniors are paced right.
Been following her since junior, btw this is her 1st competition after 1.5year. She just recovered from covid too. So some wobbles and mistakes are expected.
Definitely with this gymnast. That's the first thing I noticed about her block- began twisting way too early. I thought she might have actually begun twisting while on the horse still, but after replaying it she starts twisting immediately after instead of waiting to get some height first
She reminds me of the level of execution where Tatiana Gutsu was the year before the Olympics. She is going to be great but it looks to me like she needs a year to tighten up her form.
Pretty nice but how come every Russia does the giant half instead of a cast half pirouette and how come they also have a sketchy dismount with leg form?
They certainly do have some faults and I take on board what you say about built in deductions. But I sometimes do wonder why people comment, only to point out the faults. I could equally comment that Biles’ acrobatics are wonderful, but she has poor toe point and line in all of her work, and her wolf spins are crooked.
@@Libaluff I agree with you about Biles and it never bothers me when her faults are brought up because he fans are some of the worst when it comes to being in denial, thinking she is perfect. If the fanatical fan base would stop acting like their favorites are perfect then others wouldn't feel the need to point out the facts. I like Listunova but her form needs work. I liked Komova but her form needed work and guess what she did? She fixed her form.For the most part.
the second is definitely a temporary pass. she should take out the double pike and go back to the combination pass she used as a junior... her dance elements are so good that she doesn't really need that much from tumbling tho
i just commented something like this on another vid from these championships. i feel like a lot of us are so used to seeing like extreme gymnastics from u.s. gymnasts that other countries seem like our NCAA at times.
They're just filler, I'm pretty sure she's putting in a combo pass and a double layout. She had covid a while ago and wasn't ready to come with full diffulty.
This is her 1st competition after 1.5year. She just recovered from covid too. So some wobbles and mistakes are expected. She is training on Moors for her 2nd pass.
I counted four balance checks but her mount was really cool. With many athletes being nervous during their Olympic performances anything can happen at Tokyo. Biles is not a shoe in. They still have to put on that performance when it counts.
Russian gymnastics is so elegant and grace. I just like Russian in gymnastic. So typical, not like other countries who weigh on power.. I enjoy so much when I watch Russian gymnasts..
Young lady has some beautiful talent and form and she’s only going to get better as she gets more experience and I’m glad to see some more depth to Russia. Great job!
It might be really good for her, take some of the pressure off of carrying the team I agree all around may be out, but she could still medal on individual apparatus, especially floor.
I think Russia (or whomever is in charge of junior training) brought the attention too basic balletic training - you can tell from the way they hold themselves. Great to see. Very reminiscent of the late 2000s early 2010s where aleksandrov brought soviet traditions back to artistic gymnastics! Bright future for Russian and artistic gymnastics.
On Euros she will. She had the virus and these are watered down routines. On bars, yeah, it's a pity there isn't a big routine that defies Nina and Sunisa. It seems that only Minaeva can do it if she connects all of her fabulous skills.
Her split ring is a thing of beauty! Someone show this to Kara and Suni please. Not to tell them this is how it's supposed to be done (well it's not a lie tho), but for them to just get rid of the split ring.
terrible beam workers, Gerasimova better take care of herself. She is their only beam specialist. On a good note: Listunova looks more mentally competitive than Komova ever will.
The channels just post, re-post and re-re-post the same videos but no one bothers with fixing the audio sync first. I mean, if you already had the job of editing the video merging four videos into one, what would cost to drag the audio a bit?
Her turns on floor are breathtakingly beautiful. Once again, we see strong bars and floor from the Russian AAers... but struggle on beam. Every Olympic cycle, I wonder if some of the stereotypes by country will change. Most times, I'm not surprised. For the last 5 cycles, it's been US & Romanians weak on Bars, UK and Russia weak on Beam, & Chinese weak on Floor & Vault. Yes, Cheng Fei and Madison Kocian have been outliers.
I believe Simone, Rebecca Bross, and Kyla Ross won World Bars medals for USA too. If you want to go back further, Amy Chow, Shannon Miller, and Dominique Dawes are all bars World or Olympic medalists.
The Russians massively overscore routines in domestic meets far more than the American, Chinese, and Japanese domestic judges. All three medalists had significant problems.

I like both. Both are amazing !
She's like a beautiful combination of Viktoria Komova and Alyia Mustafina
Where?
Don't agree beacause Komova was high skilled on the beam since 12-13. Listunova has got a low D-score beam routine with very weak execution =(
Not really.
Komova’s form is waaay better and she had higher difficulty at her peak.
Same with Mustafina. She was more clean in her routines.
It is very difficult compare great gymnasts with her... it seems Vorona has a some air of Komova maybe because of her couch....
