(BBC) 2023 World Gymnastics Championships Women Team Final

[@mylesastinnette6208]

I love Shilese’s floor routine. It’s dedicated to her dad who was terminally ill and told Shilese before he passed away to move back home to Washington to fulfill her dream of pursuing gymnastics with Olympians. She did just that and it’s beautiful. Her dad would be so proud of her.

I want to see her in LA ❤

[@alisonwoods3385]

Just rewatched this. Trying to get into the mood for the Olympics. Not hard tbh. But really. This is one of the best team finals ever. Had forgotten how good it was. So happy for all the medal winners ❤

Same 😅

[@armads1988]

I always come back to this video as well

[@alisonwoods3385]

Lol. Rewatching yet again 😂😂😂 Never gets old. Especially interesting as a lot of the teams are very similar to the current Olympic teams. Literally cannot wait. 😊

Manila Esposito’s beam mount was pure poetry! It’s great to see so many incorporating real mounts onto the beam instead of just getting on it.
Brazil was absolutely brilliant here, so wonderful to see them with their first ever team world medal! Same with France getting one after how many decades! Tough to see GB struggle as they did- and a real shame what happened to poor Jessica G just a couple of days later…

[@AngelicPhantom]

This was such a great comp. Everyone looked amazing and even when there were falls they carried on and kicked ass. I cried when Melanie got her 14.000 and for Rebeca's floor routine :) Such amazing women doing incredible things.

[@Emmie.the.Kraken11]

The British commentators may butcher the names, but they’re nicer than the US commentators. I also love watching the diversity of the routines from the gymnasts from the other countries. Especially the dance and artistry elements :)

Gosto demais de acompanhar esses campeonato mundiais de ginástica
Parabéns pelo canal e sucesso

[@carolynrabbani6469]

I wonder why the commentators failed to mention that the US lost one of their top vault scores, when Roberson got injured right there on the podium during warm up. It meant the US lost tenths from Roberson's start value, and it meant that the team had to contend with changing line ups last minute, and Leane Wong suddenly had to vault, which was not the original plan. All of these factors were pertinent to the final score, and could have effected US confidence. I would think that the commentators would have mentioned those facts when discussing how the US handled pressure, and when they were discussing that the US margin of winning has narrowed.

[@lydiaedwards8100]

I guess it depends on who is causing stress to the team as to whether attention will be paid to it.

[@melissabeerman83]

Christine? The commentator laughing at Simone’s mount on the beam was rude AF. So unprofessional! IMO

[@halle1416]

u could tell she doesn’t really like simone. she wanted to see her fail lol

[@nyree1724]

I have always thought that Christine Still didn’t like Simone Biles. Since 2013, she has always tried to subtly downplay Simone Biles skills. I remember when she so wanted the gymnasts from Romania, Larisa Iordache to beat Simone Biles so bad in 2014. She is always quick to point out Simone’s mistakes but is more likely to only harp on the good in other gymnasts. She does praise Simone Biles, but you can tell it is because she has to.

[@ioneheine8961]

I generally enjoy listening to the BBC commentators but I totally agree with you here. Christine’s comments were out of line and I must say, unbecoming. She’s better than that. Someone from the GB team needs to tell her she sounds very petty!

[@fernoverbaugh4615]

The commentator should be fired. Her voice was annoying and very bad.

[@silverleopardcat]

Christine is always pretty rude about the Americans. In 2016 she went on about how Aly Raisman's gymnastics weren't aesthetically pleasing, and she didn't like her style at all. Well, Aly won silver in the AA and on FX, so I guess it didn't matter to the judges. Christine is also married to the director of British Gymnastics.

[@mylittlehyrule]

i love the little dances when the teams are introduced 😭😭 especially team gb 🇬🇧❤️

[@KevaFlores]

I like how the British broadcast shows a ton of gymnasts and no commercials but the commentators are a little too much at times!

[@tired4748]

As much as I am a fan of the BBC commentators, the butchering of Chinese names is unbelievable. Like why is he just adding random letters and sounds to their names???

[@saragrant9749]

Some of the names really are difficult to pronounce- especially when you don’t speak the language of their origin. At least he tries. Why don’t you go commentate for BBC since you’re obviously convinced of your own perceived perfection.

[@tired4748]

@@saragrant9749 Part of his job is literally pronouncing the gymnasts’ names correctly. It doesn’t take that much research 😭. He actually isn’t trying at all that’s the problem. He clearly hasn’t done research on how to pronounce the names and he hasn’t gotten any better since he started commentating over 10 years ago

[@saragrant9749]

@@tired4748 not everyone finds pronouncing names originally created in foreign languages natural. He does make mistakes but so does the whole of the rest of humanity. Unless you are picture perfect at absolutely everything in life you are in no position to judge others- hypocrite.

[@tired4748]

@@saragrant9749 making mistakes is fine of course it is I never said he couldn’t make mistakes.. but when every single name is a mistake it comes across as lazy and uninformed. Especially if part of what he is being paid to do is to pronounce the names

[@Tiger-cm1qc]

​@@saragrant9749WOW, what a bitchy response. You do realize this is the COMMENTS section, right? Why so defensive? Putting in the effort to pronounce names correctly, especially when you know you will be saying them, is the professional thing to do and a basic level of respect in a diverse society. Just because the gymnasts' names are not as simple and boring as "Sarah Grant" doesn't mean they don't deserve to have their names pronounced correctly and with some effort.

[@lanpingpug]

Sad not to see Canada, Germany, Romania or Ukraine in the team final. Did they all send a team for the qualifying round?

[@alessia294]

canada qualified to the olympics last year so they sent a young team and didnt do very well
romania hasnt been team final level in forever even though they did send a team and qualify to the olympics
germany has many injured gymnasts so even though they did send a team they didnt qualify it to the olympics
ukraine level is even lower than romania so they only sent a few gymnasts and one of them qualified

[@lanpingpug]

Such a shame about Ukraine. I thought Romania might have been doing better since it's already time for Paris but obviously not, though it's good that they have been building up the team after so many years of nothing since Iordache and Ponor were holding the team together. Germany has some good individuals but sad about the team not qualifying. I do love Canada but they seemed to rely on their older gymnasts so I'm not 100% surprised that the younger team struggled. As it stands, Russian Federation won't be defending their gold so this year if the USA hold their nerve and the GB girls up their game, they could go Gold and Silver respectively. That is wishful thinking on my part as a Brit but I think that there will be a real fight for the silver/bronze in Paris.

[@alessia294]

@@lanpingpug i think romania has real potential for first time in a while its just their nerves arent great and also injury situation is sketchy so idk if too many of the girls will continue past paris
i think china and brazil have better shot than gb and if the girls stay healthy italy also, but i think the gb girls were v impressive at euros in spite of the difficult situation and i think they could do well in paris, obviously not the same as they could have w ondine jessica and maybe amelie but still better than feared

Qingying Zhang receiving a 6.966 for a no-fall original beam routine without major breaks is straight up disrespectful. "She didn't dance in an expressive way" okay and? That's max 0.5 deduction. She showed great technique and individuality. Unbelievable.

[@lise5303]

Pretty sure they counted a fall on an element of hers

[@dylanloveskellytaylor4774]

You can tell that after so many years of US dominance they have made it so that the US are now being penalized for their skill level to try and make it so that the other gymnasts can compete with them and claim it’s to increase the competition…yet if that was the case they would have left it the same and just put and emphasis on artistry but for all the apparatuses and not just on the ones that the US get the highest scores.

[@jesusassis2881]

[@martinnephew8037]

China 449 the brst performance 😢🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@dylanloveskellytaylor4774]

This BBC commentator seems to have something against Simone. The minute Simone went on Bars she was completely silent yet for every single performance she can’t seem to stop talking yet the minute she was done and her partner was praising Simone she couldn’t wait to go one about everything that in her eyes that was wrong with the performance yet it was about things that she never mentions about other gymnasts on their bar routines. You can tell she doesn’t like Simone and I don’t know if it’s a race thing or because she knows it’s because with Simone the UK can never win the Gold in any of their competitions with her in the competition…it’s sour grapes but can’t give her her due. Can’t seem to understand she is watching greatest in front of her and getting to live through the decade of one of the greatest gymnasts to ever due the sport to maybe ever do it never to be done again. If Simone was a part of the UK team I doubt she would be complaining and talking as she is.
