steliana retired after Beijing, she made the official statement like 3 weeks a go or so. she retires because of the injuries its soo sad:( I want her to sty soo much
i feel sorry for ksenia. she was just out of the medal standings.. and poor steliana, she was sooooo underscored the whole competition.. her executions was in the 8's on all 4 apparatuses...
Yilin is such a typical Chinese girl: modest, low profiled and kind. Yilin doesn't know where her beauty is, which makes her more attractive. I've watched many interviews about her and she just didn't talk that much. I'm a big fan of gymnastics, but I don't really care which colour of the medal she got here. Other gymnasts who attended this olympic games performed excellently as well. Their work cannot be judged only by a medal. They deserve much more as respect, encouragement and understanding.
@AgymnasticFAN I think its because even though Yang had higher start values she wasn't as clean as Semenova so when people see a routine thats done so perfectly they don't understand it had easier content. Russia was trying to adapt to the new scoring system still at this point. Semenova was in tears at bars finals because her routine was tops in 2007 and not so much in 2008..just very hard for her.
yes exactly! shawn was lucky not to get her 2.5 twisting yurchenko downgraded to a DTY... the judges could've turned around and say she wasn't completely around. Natia jsut had glue on her feet that night, every single landing nailed except for her bars dismount. As for floor event finals, sandra has better leaps than shawn and triple spin. Dance important in gymnastics, not just tumbling, otherwise go and watch trampoline or something. If you don't see all this, you do not appreciate gymnastics
Because it is NBC footage, but there isn't any in UA-cam, apparently accounts got suspended if they tried to upload it.... I hope they eventually allow uploading their footage I'm tired of seeing the same angle of the routines!
jajaa, mary lou watend shawn to win, you can see it on her face.... but i love that svetlana is so happy for nastia, in some way it's a win for her too...
I really wanted Johnson and Yilin to go 1, 2 in the AA. But I think despite some scoring controversy; based on performances the appropriate medals were awarded. Liukin was just on target that night. I also wanted Yilin to take the UB gold as consolation for the AA, but oh well. History won't be rewritten because of my opinion.
Sorry, I meant legs opened: She had a fake stuck landing (almost 15 cm between her heels), that's 0.1 deduction there. And I think his piking could have been considered medium (0.3 deduction). Same problem for Deng Linlin DTY vault in team finals that some have called "perfect" as well: medium piking and fake stuck landing. But agree that was rush judging, specially if you consider Shawn's score on vault...
I think her and Yilin were a bit harshly judged on Vt, while Yuyuan's lack of hight and distance should have been much more deducted (on top of the fall) and Shawn's amanar shouldn't have been credited. Guessing possible deductions for Liukin: -Slight piking on the first part of the second phase (just after pushing on the table) -lack of distance -legs crossed -longitudinal rotation a bit too uncompleted when landing. -out of the axe, she lands near the line. It was a beautiful vault.
This is fantastic. Mary Lou's definately thinking "this is what would've happened in 84 if the Olympics weren't boycotted. Mostepanova would've killed me," and Khorkina "this was my Sydney that never happened."
if you're talking about her 'reaction' in this clip that was before the results were announced and confirmed, so they were still waiting for shawn's floor score. still, it does seem that she favours shawn over nastia.
@bookiewormie1 lol its cool. Sorry for the long post...just wish they would find a better scoring system so it won't confuse people that are watching. I mean you watch Yang's floor and then watch Semenova's floor and thats where I see people just confused on what is considered good gymnastics.
no one is 'wrong'. just a difference of opinion. don't be so arrogant with your abundant 'knowledge' of gymnastics. you're not even 'right'. it's just what you think, and how perceived it.
He Kexin was perfectly known by the judges and the clear favourite (and to my taste, the best) for almost everybody. But, you're right she didn't deserved the gold, Yang had better execution that day. But I somehow agree with it, because Kexin's routine is much more interesting than either Yang or Liukin's. But for the AA the winner is always someone better known than Yang. YYL was astounding on AA and deserved the gold as well as Nastia. The judging could have balanced the results either way.
No, YAng Yilin didn't mess up at any event. She had small wobbles on beam but otherwise exquisite work, and a low double pike on fx, but a beautiful presentation. She was impressive from start to end. the problem is that she just wasn't as known by the judges as NAstia. Either of the two could have come out with the gold.
Oh yeah, I was also mad that Cheng Fei took the bronze on beam instead of Anna Palova, Anna deserves the bronze not some very bad form Chinese (no offense, I am Chinese, but I can really tell that Anna's routine was better enough that she would have beatten Cheng Fei.) I also felt bad for Samatha and Chellise, they were so happy to be at the Olympics, but it was cut short because of injury and can only compete on bars in the team competition. Fate is really curel to gymnastics at 2008 Olympics.
nastia beat shawn on beam the whole season, does that mean shawn doesn't deserve her gold? of course it doesn't, they were the best on the day, just different days, that's the point of the sport. and stop insulting shawn's silver in the all-around which is a brilliant achievement and something she should be, and i'm certain is, very proud of.
Semenova merecia ganar la medalla de bronze, trabajo exclente en todo el all-around, sin errores a diferencia de la china que casualmente obtuvo el tercer puesto, no fue justo para la rusa...
This NBC footage team crew was on crack...where was Anna Pavlova? She qualified in the top group of 6 (the group that NBC always had their cameras on) and she placed fourth at the last Olympics (robbed). I know she is not in this montage because she placed 7th (1 spot out of the top 6 which were shown here) but NBC was even showing Shawn and Nastia giving death stares to each other during Pavlova's beam routine (third highest beam score in the AA behind Nastia and Shawn of 15.975)
I am very disappointed in the 2008 Olympics. The USA didn't win the team gold, Nastia won the all-around even though Shawn Johnson deserves (the judges gave her too low scores on bars and vault, even though they looked better then they were scored), the Romanions beat the Russains and Sandra wining floor instead of Shawn Johnson. I didn't care that Nastia didn't win bars and beam, thats for her taking the all-around title that should belong to Shawn Johson! I deserve to say my own opinnion!
Deze prachtige montage dwingt je om stil te zijn en alleen maar te genieten!
A VIDEO AT LAST!!!! thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!
thanks!!
loved this video
good song choice to set the mood
Todas perfeitas
beautiful video! Ithink Nastia defently deserved the gold, she is so graceful and fantastic to watch!!!!!

hey, it's not fair, missing here my favorite, the gold at floor, Sandra Izbasa, Romania

Wow!
exactly!!
steliana retired after Beijing, she made the official statement like 3 weeks a go or so.
she retires because of the injuries
its soo sad:(
I want her to sty soo much
chinese are so flexible and when they come off the bar, it just looks beautiful
amazing video!!!.. was that the all around?
yes ksenia and steliana its my favorite gymnastics for the title in london 2012
i feel sorry for ksenia. she was just out of the medal standings..
and poor steliana, she was sooooo underscored the whole competition.. her executions was in the 8's on all 4 apparatuses...
the music is called ''A new day has come'' by Celine Dion
Beautiful vid!!! Loved the music, the clips, everything it was absolutely awesome!
Fantástic montage!!
Thank you.
Beautiful :)

I love this. Thank you so much for doing it!!!
steliana is the best!!!!!we love you steliana and we'll be miss you!!
beautiful!!! well done nastiaaa
GOOO SHAWN U ROCK MY SOX!!
Nastia moved to the US when she was 2 1/2, raised, and trained all of her life in America. She is an American.
Me too!
Yang Yilin was sooo underscored.
Yes.!
@AgymnasticFAN I think its because even though Yang had higher start values she wasn't as clean as Semenova so when people see a routine thats done so perfectly they don't understand it had easier content. Russia was trying to adapt to the new scoring system still at this point. Semenova was in tears at bars finals because her routine was tops in 2007 and not so much in 2008..just very hard for her.
An Amanar is a type of vault: A two and half twisting Yurchenko.
It's named after the great Romanian vaulter, Simona Amanar.
yay nastia won!!! she and shawn are my favorite gymnasts
che video emozionante, beate loro.
thats like my favorite video now, i loved it!
Gorgeous gorgeous montage! Very touching and well made (perfect song choice ^__^) 5/5
wat program did u make this on? i really liked that globe effect thing at teh beggining
yes exactly! shawn was lucky not to get her 2.5 twisting yurchenko downgraded to a DTY... the judges could've turned around and say she wasn't completely around. Natia jsut had glue on her feet that night, every single landing nailed except for her bars dismount. As for floor event finals, sandra has better leaps than shawn and triple spin. Dance important in gymnastics, not just tumbling, otherwise go and watch trampoline or something. If you don't see all this, you do not appreciate gymnastics
She didn't have a great experience in Beijing, but this is just the beginning for her!
Because it is NBC footage, but there isn't any in UA-cam, apparently accounts got suspended if they tried to upload it.... I hope they eventually allow uploading their footage I'm tired of seeing the same angle of the routines!
Bueatiful montage. Thanks :)
NASTIA LIUKIN, ALLLLL THE WAY BABY
shawn johnson of course
Lovely Ksenia Semenova the 2012 London Olympic Champion......yes she will!!!
They aren't ugly. Only their make-up is not so nice, but if you see them without make-up, they are really pretty
yess!! you are rightshawn is the best
what editing program do you use?
Nice job! I love love the background music :)
It goes well with the momnent
im pretty sure that the clip of retton was placed after liukin winning in this video but in reality it happened before liukin won.
What is the name of the song? It matches the video so much!
Oh ok, thanks.
jajaa, mary lou watend shawn to win, you can see it on her face....
but i love that svetlana is so happy for nastia, in some way it's a win for her too...
nastia is very graceful and supple. shawn is very strong and she gets a lot of speed from that. everyone was amazing on the beam, though
Name of Song: A New Day Has Come
i love how svetlana cheers on nastia!
i wondered that too but prbably, that shot of her was taken before she knew who won and she was just sitting there with a normal expression.
because they were among the top 6 in the all around
Otimo video, muito bom mesmo a edição de imagens, Parabens!
She was. But I think the appropriate medals were awarded.
I really wanted Johnson and Yilin to go 1, 2 in the AA.

Me diz o site que você pegou esses vídeos das olimpiadas. Suas montagens são ótimas. Gostemi muito das series de rainhas (do solo, do salto, trave).
I love her too! Her floor is so cute!
Sorry, I meant legs opened: She had a fake stuck landing (almost 15 cm between her heels), that's 0.1 deduction there. And I think his piking could have been considered medium (0.3 deduction).

Sveta looks so different now!

what is khorkina trying to convey to nastia...?
I don't see how it was under-rotated.
Plus, in the end, what the judges say goes.
no one is 'wrong'. just a difference of opinion. don't be so arrogant with your abundant 'knowledge' of gymnastics. you're not even 'right'. it's just what you think, and how perceived it.
Mary Lou Retton and Svetlana Khorkina.
como esse video naum foi removido por violaçao dos direitos autorais/?
@VulturulNegru93 it plays a big part...Think of past olympics lol..whens the last time America won so many metals including team gold lol
Was Khorkina gesturing to Liukin?
He Kexin was perfectly known by the judges and the clear favourite (and to my taste, the best) for almost everybody. But, you're right she didn't deserved the gold, Yang had better execution that day. But I somehow agree with it, because Kexin's routine is much more interesting than either Yang or Liukin's. But for the AA the winner is always someone better known than Yang. YYL was astounding on AA and deserved the gold as well as Nastia. The judging could have balanced the results either way.
Just by looking at Mary Lou's face, you can tell that she wanted Shawn to win...
Name the song is : A New Day Has Come / Celine Dion
Thanks by coment !!!

Steliana is retired
when ??
Pavlova should have been shown in this vid. The blonde woman at 5:16 is Khorkina.
Beautifull Montage!! What's that for channel?? Beautifull Images..!
Thank You!!
Did anyone notice it said that Yilin Yang was 15 years old??
No, YAng Yilin didn't mess up at any event. She had small wobbles on beam but otherwise exquisite work, and a low double pike on fx, but a beautiful presentation.

Yes, yes thousand times yes and Marry Lou Retton looked like she wanted Shawn to win!
