i think she's referring to the score. the junior and senior championship scoring system is the same, and shawn johnson's score in the all around for the juniors was higher than nastia liukin's
For the person who inquired about Natasha Kelley-In 2007 she finished 10th at the Visa Championships/was left off the World Championship team as a result of struggling with injuries. She retired from elite gymnastics in 2008 electing to compete gymnastics for Oklahoma (NCAA/college gymnastics). She tore her ACL and missed her freshman year, but did compete her sophomore/junior (2010/2011) years. She tore her ACL again during preseason her senior year.
Don't forget this is just after they changed the scoring system in gymnastics and the judges across the world were still getting there head around scoring in the new system
Did anyone else notice Alicia icing the leg she DIDN'T lock out? She was icing the wrong leg... unless somehow she hurt it too but it looked like the right leg would be worse.
i think she means that shawn's junior score was higher than all the seniors. the media made a huge deal over this because the scoring system is the same for both juniors and seniors, to theoretically, shawn can be considered the 'real winner'
well if you watch the aly raisman documentary Aly still puts in a lot of effort on uneven bars to improve and remain an all around gymnast. As for Alicia, it's the fig's decision to allow gymnasts to be event specialists. Don't blame the coach.
i think she's talking about the fact that shawn's score in the junior nationals was higher than all the seniors. they go by the same scoring system, so theoretically speaking, had shawn competed in the senior category, she would have won
Question: there are many greats that won the Olympic all around title; Mary Lou Retton, Carly Patterson, Gabby Douglas.....why does Nastia Liukin have the celebrity red carpet status?? Does she love the fame? I really don’t know what she’s done more special than the others.....every other US champion has gone on to live normal happy lives away from the spotlight....I’m just curious
I'll tell you what he said. it was brutal. this is what he said. valeri: " what the hell was that! we practiced on this so many times! tell me what happened! that was some fuckup routine you did up there huh? nastia: " please dont talk to me right now, please not now
Well, if you've ever seen aly or Alicia perform there weak on bars. I understand where your coming from but if a person isn't good at something it's really difficult to train them to do it better. Aly and Alicia are obviously power athletes so bars isn't in their ally.
Yeah right "these championships" when there's only 1 competition here. And ohmygod NBC's so bad they didn't even broadcast the winner's routines, the winner's name didn't even get posted on the final results, and they didn't even interview her! :( how pathetic.
Thank you for leaving these up. I like to watch them from time to time.
she was a junior at the time. this is the senior nationals. i believe she won the junior nationals that year though.

oooh yeah, haha nastia's lines are amazeballs. like she is such an elegant gymnast.

I'm still obsessed with Alicia Sacramone
if you are talking about Shawn Johnson, she was about 13/14 years old at that time, therefore that made her a junior
even though she was a junior I think she scored higher then the senior winner
What I love is when the girls have friendly banter between them, when they so obviously are good friends despite the competitiveness that also exists.
Don't forget this is just after they changed the scoring system in gymnastics and the judges across the world were still getting there head around scoring in the new system
nastia and alicia's conversation was so funny!
haha the reporter said alicia survived the bars... her Achilles heel... ironic?
Did anyone else notice Alicia icing the leg she DIDN'T lock out? She was icing the wrong leg... unless somehow she hurt it too but it looked like the right leg would be worse.
9.3 execution for Natasha Kelly on bars? Where are they getting these E scores from? It was a great routine but that's way too high
Shawn Johnson's junior school was higher than every senior that year...with the same judges. If she performed at the same meet, she would've won.
She went on to compete in college (Oklahoma, I think) but she did eventually get injured. She's on twitter, though! =)
what did Valeri say to Nastia after she finished her bar routine? like when the commentators laughed?

omg never seen alicia do bars before
"It's like she spit in the eye of pain." Lol Iove it.
she went on to compete in college (Oklahoma?) but got injured and is now retired

hey guys.... there is someone who knows a little bit of russian?! I want to know badly what valeri is saying to Nastia around 0:51:49 *.*
I'll tell you what he said. it was brutal. this is what he said.
valeri: " what the hell was that! we practiced on this so many times! tell me what happened! that was some fuckup routine you did up there huh?
nastia: " please dont talk to me right now, please not now
even more awkward when 2 years later Nastia beat her in the competition they cared the most about :P
The ONE good thing about Nastia retiring is that we no longer have to hear him constantly butcher her name!

What did valari say at 37:30
What happened to Natasha Kelley in the end? Injury? I have never heard of her before I saw this video now...or after for that matter...
That I know. Sorry for poor sarcasm.
Wow this was great! ^ ^ A close one. Do you have 2007 Visa.US.Gymnastics.Championships?
Nastia was way oversckred on beam .4.... Really. She had a hop on dismount and twi big wobble. Not to mention she wasn completely done twisting
Ah yes, gymnastics before all the hot pink... Miss it
