🗞️ News from the Olympic world: oly.ch/News - Спорт
05:45 Lu Li's double layout dismount is the cleanest i've ever seen, legs tightly glued together throughout, perfect 10 well deserved.
One critique: the big arch in the back. It looks pretty but I want to see a perfectly straight shape a la Zamolocikova(sp).
roddo everyone has an arch
also the last perfect 10 on UB since
Have you ever seen Kyla Ross on uneven bars? She is flawless. She has amazing technique.
@Davy Lau there’s literally like 5 people who don’t arch
Mustafina makes it look easy. She’s so patient as she swings and it all looks incredibly natural.
exactly!!
@Star Tetrahedron I love how she uses the bend of the bar. She uses the apparatus to gain momentum, she doesn't force her body to achieve it.
And her full pirouettes are PERFECT! She does it so quickly they always end in handstand
I’ve always admired her, she has natural talent
I think otherwise.
So glad the whole "slam your hips against the lower bar" thing is gone.
Yeah it’s banned, along with putting your feet on the bar.
Only banned to stand on high bar, low bar is still allowed
It honestly trips me out that this was just the normal way of bars! I was a gymnast for years and the idea of doing any low-high/high-low transitions or any giants or attempting dismounts building momentum in a contained area just makes me nervous! I guess that’s what makes them so amazing though!
I agree. I cringe Everytime I see it.
Jonathan Olson it’s not banned, the bars have just been moved further apart to allow for more difficult moves, so the stomach slamming move won’t work anymore
He Kexin was honestly the most amazing to watch, the uniqueness and difficulty of her skills is just incredible.
If Beth Tweddle hadnt stumbled she could have taken gold. Her bars routine at the 2012 Games was just as exciting and difficult.
@@Hervinbalfour Not saying it in a rude way, but ins't that the girl with the big teeth?
@@kevingates1231 ☠☠☠😂😂😂 Yes it is.
@@kevingates1231 lmaoooo 😭
@@Hervinbalfour I agree. I love He Kexin, she’s one of my Favorites on bars but Beth deserved Gold in London. Her routine was so unique and amazing. It’s ashame she stumbled on the dismount.
Incredible that Svetlana Khorkina and Aliya Mustafina are double olympic champion on the uneven bars,it would be awesome if Aliya could win a third gold medal at Tokyo
She retired
@@emmaboakye160 Yeah I know now
would love her to win too but derwael is too stronk.
@@corrinlex1359 suni too
Sad she just retired
Its wonderful to see other nations on this list, but lets be honest, there is nothing like bar workers from China and Russia. I found myself smiling from ear to ear watching the grace of Mustafina and Svetlana.
The only gymnast who can beat Aliya (at her best) on bars is Komova (at her best without errors). Love them both.
@@wkim22 But aliya never win gold in world championships for uneven bars
Mad. Aki it’s because she always gives her all and peaks perfectly for the Olympics.
@@thederp9535 also Komova didn't have the strongest competitors against her in 2011. Aliya was injured, He Kexin and Beth Tweddle failed in qualifications. Nabieva and Huang Qiushuang had built-in execution errors keeping their scores lower than Komova, and Youna Dufournet never hit her incredible set in UB final...
@@cyrielle_ Komova hit her feet on the low bar in 2012 when everybody else was on their A game. She could've beaten Aliyah and Beth. Just goes to show: It's about how you perform on the day-not what could,would or should happen
Mustafina is so beautiful on the bars, her technique is flawless. She is the perfect mix of elegance and strength.
Lu Li’s dismount was incredible whoa
Svetlana Khorkina was always such a joy to watch. Her legs looked 8 feet long, even tho she was only 5'5". Her lines were gorgeous, and she had such a graceful spirit. I was an American kid who avidly rooted for her and her amazing talent.
I absolutely adored her. She was so elegant.
She was a queen. And her hair never ever moved.
My favorite in uneven bars .... She was AMAZING to watch
Her moves are like art, so much jouy to watch her on the bars.
I wouldn’t say always graceful spirit... she was a bit surly both games, particularly Atlanta.
But I was happy she got gold in Sydney after the vault debacle.
Daniela Silivas always looks like she’s enjoying herself, like it’s sheer joy to be doing what she’s doing.
Was just going to say that. Her smile is infectious 😀
Ditto!
why does it feel like aliya has twice as much time for her skills? she literally floats like a feather and she’s probably technically the best bars worker of all time along with komova and khorkina
Agreed
He Kexin is a trendsetter. Combined releases for women became much more popular after her. I'm glad she got her olympic gold medal.
a gold that she didn't deserve
Adarsh Minj Did you see Nastias handstand that probably lost 5 tenths and that horrendous dismount.
@@adarshminj2543 lol. He Kexin's routine is absolutely incredible and would be one of the highest scoring routine in every COP.
It has everything: very difficult and crisp pirouettes, high flying release ( LO Jaeger), spectacular releases combo (Li Ya + jaeger), release + transition combo ( Tkachev + Pak), and a good dismount connected from a super difficult pirouette (1 1/2 one-arm pirouette + double tuck 1/1). All we could ask more is a shaposh 1/2 after the Pak to get the ultimate routine.
Girl earned her 2 Olympic golds (team+UB) fair and square.
@@maia9056 did you see HEs handstand that lost 3 tenths each time and her cat walk dismount?
@@cyrielle_ it doesn't matter with 2017-20 cod what matters is that they had the same difficulty and execution at that point and HE had much more visible errors than nastia and they robbed nastia clearly.
she wouldn't be able to win 2012 silver if beth and komova hit perfectly. LUCKY KEXIN
We all know this was made for Mustafina! THE QUEEN
Not really
@@Arrowaceofspades 🤣
The BEST Gymnastic romanians and russians 👑👑
I so love Ma Yanhong routine! I think it is very underrated.. She had such clean lines, amplitude, i love her, she was amazing, extremely clean!
I love seeing so many icons! So many generations!
I love Mustafina, and her gold in 2012 was a moment! She barely could walk months before...
I just realized, only Khorki and Musty have been able to win back to back, wow.
The early one where they slam themselves on the bars absolutely scares me
Agreed 😂
The rules changed in the 1980s and they redesigned the bars so that move is no longer done.
I@@SusieQ-mn3qf ikr
❤😂🎉❤
L❤😂🎉🎉🎉
I wish Mustafina one more gold medal. She is my favorite ever ❤️
Yes
Hope she can participate tokyo Olympic
Yes! The US has some pretty good contenders on bars (better than Rio) but nobody better than Aliya. I hope she’s still in contention!
Taryn Smith Aliya has to worry about the bar workers who aren’t from the U.S.A minus Suni
@@Aljonvill12 trueeeee
Several things come to mind watching this: 1) I'm so glad the bars are further apart and young ladies aren't slamming their still developing bodies against them anymore. 2) the CoP has destroyed any creativity in UB routines. No unique mounts, as they're not worth the risk. No clever bar switches- paks and van leeuweens all day every day. 3)the Chinese and Russians are truly something special with bar work. 4) Daniela Silivas was a BEAST.
EDIT: The Divine Khorkina. 5 foot 6 and moving like a 4 foot 11 gymnast. 😍
I believe The Divine Khorkina is 5’4” though she certainly seems taller. 👑
@@mme.dilettante dang! Thank you for the info! Idk where I got 5'6 from. 🤦
@@JennaLeigh No worries! And I’m not sure where I read 5’4” because I just read something that said 5’5”. 🤷♀️ Regardless, TALL for a world-class gymnast.
@@mme.dilettante very true! As a kid I was into gymnastics. Had a MASSIVE growth spurt- 4'11 to 5'6 in 6 months. I literally could not perform skills anymore. Proof positive that Khorkina is a 1 of 1.
I'm still in awe at how amazing Khorkina is doing her own signature move from low to high bar. The fact that it's so rare for gymnasts to even try, but bc you are actually like catching the high bar blind. No one would take the risk.
Svetlana and aliya are queens!! Winning back to back golds on the same apparatus is unreal!! He kexin is queen also!! Gold and silver back to back!!
Mustafina's training again. I don't know if she can get her third gold medal or even qualify to Tokyo with Russia's great junior arsenal, but I just want to see her do her amazing bars once again on an international stage. Cherry on top would be getting a medal for that and breaking the tie with Khorkina.
If she has a consistent all around, they’ll have to take her. Mainly for her mental strength and the ability to hold the team together mentally in TF and stuff
@@nathanielhalls1893 The problem is having a consistent AA. She'll atleast have to have her Rio skills, which were also watered down because of her injury. But given the time is so less and she had been out of training for more than a year she'll probably have to be racing against time to get in shape and get all her skills back.
If she competes in an Olympic bar final and doesn't fall then she'll have beaten Khorkina in my book. Heck she already has, simply because she's not a vile person like Khorkina.
@@alexkaitlinthomas True. But the most successful Russian gymnast simply has another ring to it and she deserves the title for being Russia's rock for so long, even when it wasn't expected of her.
@@himanshisingla6925 I'd love, love, love her to win it but I'm trying to manage my own expectations on this. Lol.
The way He Kexin's unique bar routine D-value is still competitive up to this day. Queen things!
Mustafina is like floating in the air with ease. That’s something unique.
Lacks grace. Lacks fluidity. I would concur if it was Svetlana
Lacks grace. Lacks fluidity. I would concur if it was Svetlana
@@johna.s.5862 look at khorkina's skills and compare it to aliya's lmao. here, have some more salt.
🇷🇺Aliya Mustafina loves her Uneven Bars 2x Olympic Champions. 💖
We gotta give a Shout out to all the silver medallists. They had some AMAZING bars routines also.
And bronce too
Top 24!
Svetlana 😍😍😍 Still my favourite in uneven bars, the fact that she's so much taller that the average gymnasts, and was capable of doing the transitions between bars so impeccably, still amazes me ...
Svetlana low-key gave me anxiety because I was worried her shins would hit the bar because of her height (even though I knew they wouldn't because she wouldn't have won if they did.
I wasn’t worried at all because I thought it was more of the angle than her being that that that close to the bar
Its cool watching the progression of the event- the difficultly just keeps going up. Every athlete is amazing in their own way in their own time ❤
No one puts "art" into "artistic gymnastics" like Aliya Mustafina. Elegance defined.
Are we going to talk about how amazing Svetlana was AND without grips! I couldn’t imagine doing anything on bars without them!
I really hope to see Mustafina in Tokyo. Love her. He Kexin routine is insane. Amazing!
2020 is going to be SO hard, I want Mustafina to have a 3rd so bad but it’ll be a huge battle between a lot of amazing contenders
I hope Urazova got the insurance policy for Mustafina. The Russian team won't be the same without her.
2021 will be another amazing uneven bar final! Aliya maybe, Sunisa, Nina, the Downies, and Angelina!
@@brodypenn im so excited!! and a couple of the chinese girls too
Jodi yes but I’m so worried about the Chinese. They’ve been soooo inconsistent but I really hope they hit at Tokyo.
Liu Tingting's really good when she hits as well
Legendary Khorkina, indisputable queen of the bars! And so, so close to being 3x Olympic Champion =( Athens UB finals were even more heartbreaking than Sydney AA. Hope Aliya pulls a miracle in Tokyo and takes Gold #3 so my heart can be healed
Lu Li looks so incredibly young, and her face on the podium looks so uneasy. She had a flawless performance, but I can't help feeling she needs a friend up there with her or something!
I thought so too. Her face, she seemed troubled about something, whereas every other gold medalist was beaming at the podium.
Daniella Silivas😍She's probably my favorite gymnast of all time
She won everything
She's really cute, smiling like that on the winner's podium.
Amazing to see the evolution of how far apart the bars were and how it changed the way they swing and the elements that are added or lost.
He KeXin= A LEGEND. Absolutely magnificent and faultless. Technically so precise that, it should literally be the tutorial... hands down THE BEST uneven bars routine EVER. ( In my opinion, she had more difficulty and style than nastia, didn't really understand the "tie" in 2008, although He Kexin did get the gold! ^^)
Sventlana Khorkina amazing in that she’s tall for a gymnast yet she maneuvers the bars like a boss
Khorkinas 2000 UB routine was so ahead of its time……the style of her routine is the template for all post 2012 UB routines,
It would be wonderful if Aliya could take the gold once again in Tokyo, but on a personal note I would love to see Nina Derwael winning. It's always nice to see countries that haven't that much gymnastics success get it once at least, like Wevers did, or even Lepennec (I'm not completely aware of French women's gymnastics history, but I was surprised to see her victory)
The French are getting pretty good actually.
Nice to see your wish came true for Nina 😊
Of these, Ma Yanhong and he Kexin were the most thrilling to watch.
Know Khorkina is the gymnast many love to hate, but she did have the most wonderful extension and elegance.
I was present in 2012 and not overwhelmed by Aliya Mustafina's routine - then came the utter brilliance of that dismount which got me to my feet in applause. Still love it today.
Imagine an UB final with Aliya Mustafina, Viktoria Komova, Beth Tweddle, He Kexin, Yang Yilin, Nastia Liukin, Fan Yilin and Nina Derwael . Oh my gosh, that is gonna be epic!
My dream podium
🥇Aliya mustafina
🥈Yang yilin
🥉He kexin
🥉Fan yilin
*Does anyone else just binge watch these?*
Mustafina's landing are always perfect, she never misses balance. anyways it feel surreal seeing people hugging, shaking hands and being this close... ha
Lacks grace. Lacks fluidity.
@@johna.s.5862 Mustafina? She floats on the bars, even more gracefully than Khorkina. Her connections are the most fluid, among all modern, present day gymnasts
@@fortheloveofcats2462 i see otherwise
@@johna.s.5862 huh??? She’s one of the most artistic and graceful gymnasts ever thats why she’s a multiple time Olympic medalist
@@jellocat4100 I see otherwise.
Queen Mustafina 👑
I feel so old because I watch all of these live, plus the previous 20 years.
Korkhina and Aliya 🤩🔥💪🏻 just perfect 👌🏻
Svetlana Khorkina was my favorite on the uneven bars. Tall for a gymnast but looked so graceful.
Mine too...
Plus, being so tall makes the transition from one bar to another much more difficult, and she was impeccable
She's my all-time fave as well. Being tall for a gymnast, it's truly amazing how her legs do not hit the bars even if it looks soooo close to doing so.
when the two bars used to be closer before, I wondered if it hurt when they hit their hip bones onto the lower bar, I mean I feel pain for them. Glad they put some more distance between them now
I saw in another comment that it hurts a lot, I always cringe when I see that, that can't be good for your stomach!
I always wonder that too! I cringe every time.
I haven’t done it like they do, but I did gymnastics and even from a short height it hurts sooo bad! They must have gotten used to it
Especially when they did release moves and then straight up slamming their hips on the low bar right after. Like, that bar is NOT soft, how do their hips not dislocated after that.
It must've been horrible for their reproductive organs too. Definitely glad the don't do that anymore, I wouldn't be able to watch
Aliya bars are to die for!
give it up for the sisters who did it with no grips and smacked their hips onto that thing full force, brutal
He Kexin, who's with me?
Her UB set is absolutely incredible, I love her...
i’m a Mustafina fan for life but He’s routine I can watch over and over again - it rivals Mustafina’s routine for my favourite. it’s so unique and beautiful
Of course He Kexin is Queen then her hands ran on the bar then mad right shape for next element. each element or bundle was adjusted and prepared on the projectile
Love her. I heard that she really had a very difficult time with her 2012 routine...the pressure, the toll it took on her body.
He Kexin is the best routine
Aliya just sticks to the floor after landing. Such an amazing gymnast. Definitely going to miss her routine in Tokyo 😍
The 80s routines are crazy 😲 some of the moves look like it would hurt, but it still looks very good when they perform 😄
Svetlana, Aliya❤️❤️❤️🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Svetlana Khorkina the Queen of Uneven bars forever. 😍❤️
Mustafina is always wonderful.
Just wonderful to watch He Kexin mind blowing routine, so amazing. Mustafina's and Svetlana Khorkina effortless grace, both ladies won the event twice. Svetlana Khorkina was considered too tall, she was 5.5, yet she conquered the Bars. To see Mustafina's womanly body do all the moves - beautiful.
And yay yay for Mustafina...just LOVE her❤❤❤
1984 was my favorite! That dismount is insane!
Ma’s performance was so creative and beautiful to watch
Search for her 1981 Worlds EF routine. Her and her teammate, Wu Jiani (Anna Li's mom), were super creative for that time.
Say what you will but Sveta just oozes 'Diva' in the best way possible😂😂. When she accepts her 2000 gold medal and flowers, she moves like an actress accepting an award: she doesn't wait for the handshake and kiss; she initiates it. Almost as if she's saying; "thank you dear Sir you are most kind. Now, move along and get out of my light!"
Edit: You KNOW she said "Spasiba" for effect when she stuck that landing, for effect. Always aware of the camera.
Could you explain the significance of "spasiba" to me?
@@JennaLeigh it means "thank you" in Russian
@@federicapiottoli6922 thank you so much for taking the time to explain it! Hope you have a great day!❤
Mustafina with the most flawless routines out of all the other winners.
Can't miss 1972's Olga Korbut!!! Her performance won the Crowd and they protested when she got Silver instead of Gold!
Mustafina is the best bars workers
❤
Don't get the hype. She looks heavy. Lacks grace. Still Comenaci or Kurbot or Svetlana. Even He is better 😜
@@johna.s.5862 Olga and Nadia are another kind of gymnast, Even Nadia told that Mustafina es better than her! And, Khorkina was supreme but Mustafina have better gymnast in front of her.
Aliya's handstands are perfection... she's almost never short
Silivas is an incredible gymnast and cute as a button! I love how she’s in every one of these compilations. Goes to show how amazing she is!
Silvas has always been one of my favorites.
Love Mustafina. ❤️
Back to back Olympic medalists on bars on this list: Khorkina (gold, gold), Mustafina (gold, gold), He (gold, silver). It still gives me a sense relief thinking how He Kexin won her "solo" well deserved gold in 2008.
2008 uneven bars final was kinda shady...
Mustafina is judge’s fav, Russia rules
@@Boymanjusri she gets rewarded for what she does.
The judges ALWAYS favour the Russia
@@bellecwy imao you must be a libtard
aliya's leaps between the bars are soooo smooth
Two words: MA YANHONG ❤
Actually it’s three words/characters ;)
that was insane
I miss the early days of gymnastics. So much flexibility. Now I just watch everyone do the same routine over and over.
There are only so many things you can do on UB After a while, the possibilities run out to get the high DV. Do you remember that worlds where almost every routine was the same and there was a 4way tie? Even the gymnasts laughed it off. Agree with you on the old days! Not just the flexibility but also, the emphasis on form! The positions in the air where so clean and there was room for a bit of 'flair' and so many more stuck landings, too.
@@tessateilor9512 I think they mean that back then there were more elements and the routines didn't look the same
Now lacks grace.
have you seen nina derwael on bars? her entire routine takes like only 30 seconds because she connects all of her skills one after another, not even a giant before the dismount. now thats unique.
Yes! Totally agree. Biles is trying to switch it up but she needs choreography and plus she's short
All gymnasts were wondeful !! I love them all. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
It’s crazy seeing the evolution of uneven bars!! They used to be spaced so close together!
So Russia had 2 gymnasts that won back to back which speaks of their mastery of this apparatus
The kind of video I was waiting for!Keep going with vault and all-around please
Again, thank you for posting!
Sensational! Especially Ma Yanhong and Svetlana Khorkina.
Mustafina 💞 and her elegance and beauty
The first two were surprising to me since I there were a few elements that aren't used in today's choreographies anymore (don't know the english term for that)
Your English is excellent! What you said was right- certain skills from the 60s/70s/80s are now banned. The bars are also further apart as well, so certain skills aren't possible.
Came for Khorkina @ 7:10 my all time favorite. Also He @ 12:20 is a beauty he release skills are awesome 😎
1:31 that literally gives me anxiety
Legit, lidderelleeeeee, anxiedeeeee....
Omg what was that landing
@@andy.a-m That is the "Ma dismount", a hecht-front salto-full which she pioneered, rated at "F" difficulty, the second highest difficulty rating possible, in the current Code of Points.
@@obiwan88
Wow, many thanks for the explanation 😊 it looks amazing
Happy new year!
yeah right?
There are 2 Russian Gymnastics who maintain there Olympic title twice
Svetlana 1996, 2000
Aliya Mustafina 2012, 2016
Nina Derwael from Belgium will be added to this list after the Tokyo games!!
my favorites: maxi, ma yanhong, daniela silivas, lu li, & he kexin
Lu Shanzhen, the Chinese gymnastics coach who protected Lu Li, passed away in 2020 due to myocardial obstruction.
How did he protect her I think I missed it
russian gymnasts, komova, mustafina, khorkina have something special within their natural talent
Lu is grace Li is precision....enough said :)
Such beautiful gymnastics! Two of those later routines were almost exclusively on the upper bar with one token visit to the lower. Aliya's routines elegantly restored the lower bar's equal status.
Svetlana and Mustafina are queens of uneven bars! They teach how to do it
I agree on Svetlana. Mustafina, on the other hand, hmm.
Nice to see the old body wraps and belly-beats i miss them; but as UBs evolved the stuff just gets insane.
I have, as usual after watching gymnastics, been reduced to a puddle of jelly.
Silivas, Svetlana, Emily Le Pennec, He Kexin y Mustafina ❤❤
Khorkina is the best. Not only she has the top skill, but also her action and body look so elegant and gorgeous on uneven bar. It's so hard for a tall gymnast to perform as wonderful as her. I also love the other Russian American gymnast Liukin. She's amazing too.
The speed of Svetlana Khorkina - incredible
I’m so glad they stopped that move where they hit the bars with their stomach or hip area
Ma Yanhong, stunning!!
Thank you !!!! Thank you !!!! Thank you !!!!
Please, upload ALL THE OTHER 2008 Beijing WOMEN´S Artistic Gymnastics FULL EVENTS.

9:12 . . . Ouch! Svetlana smacked her toes on the bar. So much focus and adrenaline in that moment, I doubt she even noticed till well afterward.
