When I was younger I thought the secret classic was an event hidden and unannounced, where they only invited certain gymnasts to perform and didn't tell the others... cause it was a secret.
Subtext of Simone’s interview : ‘Martha didn’t like me because I was happy and smiling and enjoying my time in the gym. She was mad she couldn’t break my spirit but when I won Worlds, she figured she could take some credit so she started sucking up.’ Basically.
My favorite moment was 49:20 when simone was trying to follow kyla to bars and she starts speedwalking to keep up and you can see her giggle and say "not so fast!"
She's so smart to keep a light heart and laugh all the time--it's counterproductive to be serious through all your work, not many people seem to get that. I mean the girl still laughs through everything and she's dominated the sport for years, people should learn from her.
Simone’s selfless attitude is the most endearing thing about her. She continues to be very genuine and not the least bit conceited, she is really a precious person, IMO.
Mykayla Skinner the new Sacramone?? What?!!!!!! Alicia was super powerful and super clean! Skinner has the power but she's too slopy!! She should try easier tumbling passes!
I agree about her execution/difficulty. It seems to me that Mykayla tends to go for really difficult skills that she can execute decently rather than slightly less difficult skills that she can perform more cleanly. She's definitely in the Alicia vein, but I think she needs to figure out a balance between difficulty and execution; then she'll really soar.
And then a gymnast has two broken foot bones, several broken toes, dislocated elbow, and when they perform bad he’s just like “oh well, thats a shame, not gonna score well”
I think Maggie Nichols could be a great addition to this years World Team! I could see her being in Sabrina Vegas place from 2011, (Consistent, and a great lead-off gymnast) Keep it up Maggie!
Love watching old meets I also noticed how most of the girls here are in ncaa or gratuated this year so nice to follow this journey for such a long time
I love seeing people have come backs! Im a swimmer, and i havent been swimming for 3 years, and im about to do my come back! So its cool to see people from other sports wanting to come back! Like if they can do it, i can do it!
I can't wait to see how the leader board goes, when Gabby, Jordan, the two currently injured Rio-eligible juniors, Lauren Hernandez and Bailey Key, get back into the mix (hope they get better). That is going to be an AWESOME meet. I still think my girl Simone will be the one to beat, but they are all good & the possibilities for Rio are exciting. Anyone else looking forward to the return of some of the Fierce 5?
Mykayla Skinner has not always been my favorite gymnast but I have to say that I would really like to see her make the team for Tokyo but with only 4 spots.....I wonder how this covid 19 thing will prevent this summer's olympics ? Ugh she'll not likely have another shot.
All this talk about Rio is making me incredibly anxious! I cant wait to see who's on the US team! I hope to see McKayla Maroney and DEFINITELY Simone Biles there, Kyla Ross, too!
I just watched 2013 Classics and Nationals and now this and it's day and night how the announcers changed from meet to meet. In 2013 they mentioned big mistakes and issues by Simone. Here they gloss over it and they are very critical of Kyla.
I hope you've gotten an answer by now, lol, but just in case it's called "My Sweet and Tender Beast." ua-cam.com/video/gvUg7KLAclA/v-deo.html This music was also used by Ivana Hong.
I've been listening to Tim Daggett as a commentator since the 90s (with Elfie) and I never considered him annoying. However after reading these comments here and watching the broadcast I'm like damn, you guys are right, he's annoying as hell.
Jenna Leigh's Beauty Slam- If I’m right, she got injured in podium training during the P&G’s in 2014. Broke her ankle and had a long recovery. Went to P&G’s in 2016 and Olympic Trials, so she came back, just not as good. She is now a Junior competing for Florida.
Has Laney Madsen been to any of these "big" competitions? I heard she made national team training camp...something close to that. sorry I'm not a gymnast lol.
I dont really know it, but what I kniw is that she works for 2020 olympics because she is too young for rio 2016 so I think shes too young for this comps as well
In the past the Karolyis forced women to retire by 20 or 21 at the latest. Thank God they're gone and we can see actual women doing women's gymnastics.
Kylie has soooo much grace....posture i mean she is amazing....... Biles has soooo much power seriously... awesome... i think Rio is in for a treat...n im up for it
When I was younger I thought the secret classic was an event hidden and unannounced, where they only invited certain gymnasts to perform and didn't tell the others... cause it was a secret.
Danatra OMG ME TOO
😂
Q😂worst it’s named after deodorant!
Same!
I only found out when I was about 10 or 11
Lol!
Honestly
Didn't everybody?! 😆
Subtext of Simone’s interview : ‘Martha didn’t like me because I was happy and smiling and enjoying my time in the gym. She was mad she couldn’t break my spirit but when I won Worlds, she figured she could take some credit so she started sucking up.’ Basically.
Great analysis lol
the way they said it is so hard to stay on Top for 4 years, now Simone will do that for 10 years, she is the best
My favorite moment was 49:20 when simone was trying to follow kyla to bars and she starts speedwalking to keep up and you can see her giggle and say "not so fast!"
Matthew Hines hahahaha i agree hahahaha can't stop laughing
Simone was pretty cute throughout this competition lol the hug she gave Makayla Maroney was so nice
Love watching Simone grow into the woman who dominated Rio. Kyla Ross is so graceful. Love her bar routine
She's so smart to keep a light heart and laugh all the time--it's counterproductive to be serious through all your work, not many people seem to get that. I mean the girl still laughs through everything and she's dominated the sport for years, people should learn from her.
Simone’s selfless attitude is the most endearing thing about her. She continues to be very genuine and not the least bit conceited, she is really a precious person, IMO.
Simone is amazing. Simply breath taking.
Oh my gosh, simone biles is SO adorable in that interview!
Simone's gymnastics has always been incredible- in the air. I'm so glad she's finally gotten her landings on floor under control.
Simone Biles is just: Wow. She's going to defend her World AA Title. That double double was gorgeous. And her floor music conveys her personality.
So they show Simone cheering for Maggie but not showing Maggie doing her routine
it’s so cool to see kyla, madison, and felicia together here and now they’re all together at ucla 🥺
Norah Flatley and Nia Dennis too! It's crazy how many future UCLA gymnasts are in this meet.
Mykayla Skinner the new Sacramone?? What?!!!!!! Alicia was super powerful and super clean! Skinner has the power but she's too slopy!! She should try easier tumbling passes!
She is becoming an Alicia, lets face it. She's cleaning up, and I believe she will be the next Sacramone by Worlds, if she does make the team
I agree about her execution/difficulty. It seems to me that Mykayla tends to go for really difficult skills that she can execute decently rather than slightly less difficult skills that she can perform more cleanly. She's definitely in the Alicia vein, but I think she needs to figure out a balance between difficulty and execution; then she'll really soar.
Toes not pointed!!!!
Sacramone was so powerful and clean when she fell twice at the Olympics. I personally really like Mykayla but she has a bad reputation.
She’s much improved as a college gymnast- probably cause she’s downgraded her skills
gymnast: *has sore ankle*
tim daggett: she is absolutely as tough as they come tough as nails so tough absolutely so toug--
And then a gymnast has two broken foot bones, several broken toes, dislocated elbow, and when they perform bad he’s just like “oh well, thats a shame, not gonna score well”
I've just made up my mind: Kyle Ross is my favorite gymnast of all time. Watching her never gets old
I think Maggie Nichols could be a great addition to this years World Team! I could see her being in Sabrina Vegas place from 2011, (Consistent, and a great lead-off gymnast) Keep it up Maggie!
Also Madison Kocian's bar coach is a babe.
His wife is gorgeous though. She was my favorite gymnast for a while just for how pretty she was.
Sarah McClure now he is Simone's head coach!!!
Biles has cleaned up her landings on floor a lot!!! I really like her floor now :)
I love Simone's interview
Love watching old meets I also noticed how most of the girls here are in ncaa or gratuated this year so nice to follow this journey for such a long time
Madison's leotard is so pretty!! Anyone agree?!! The blue and white one
Good stuff
Yes
😃great depth here! I am excited to see juniors like Norah arise for Rio De Janeiro.
I can stare at Madison's bar coach all day, how can she practice while he's coaching her😂. I would've had a cute little girl crush on him.
"object in the mirror is closer than it appears"
classic.
Madison's bar routine was just incredible!
I'm a normal Tim Dagget Whenever a gymnast sticks the landing,I say : "Gymnastics 101,stick the landing,baby!"
Great to see Chellsie Memmel Judging since shes a qualified FIG judge for USA now :) 1:14:12
Mykayla's floor was looking so good, better form than last year, but then she fell on her full twisting double back. I was so sad when she fell.
Me too
I love seeing people have come backs! Im a swimmer, and i havent been swimming for 3 years, and im about to do my come back! So its cool to see people from other sports wanting to come back! Like if they can do it, i can do it!
lol Chow being the Madonna of gymnastics. :))))
I LOVE the look Rachel Gowey has. Her floor was GORGEOUS and I just love her gymnastics. I seriously think that she can contend for Rio
Kae Kae Jones I seriously loved her floor. Such beautiful artistry. She pays close attention to the details... I bet she had dance training.
She also has an amanar
When Maddie Kocian came off the beam, my heart broke.
I can't wait to see how the leader board goes, when Gabby, Jordan, the two currently injured Rio-eligible juniors, Lauren Hernandez and Bailey Key, get back into the mix (hope they get better). That is going to be an AWESOME meet. I still think my girl Simone will be the one to beat, but they are all good & the possibilities for Rio are exciting. Anyone else looking forward to the return of some of the Fierce 5?
The only ones from the fierce 5 that should come back are Maroney and Kayla. The others are too busy getting money and fame.
Veronica Enis Maroney & Ross technically don't count since they never left, LOL.
Mykayla Skinner has not always been my favorite gymnast but I have to say that I would really like to see her make the team for Tokyo but with only 4 spots.....I wonder how this covid 19 thing will prevent this summer's olympics ? Ugh she'll not likely have another shot.
I really hope Maroney and Kyla make it on the team for RIO. Compared to the 2012 Olympics, they both have so much to prove :(
norah looks like 8. such a cutie.
Ikr
i love when they show gymnasts walking around/talking to people instead of relevant routines that are going on
All this talk about Rio is making me incredibly anxious! I cant wait to see who's on the US team! I hope to see McKayla Maroney and DEFINITELY Simone Biles there, Kyla Ross, too!
It's good to see that Simone's still at her best!
And I love Kayla, she's no doubt the perfect execution girl!
I love watching these college gymnasts that used to be elites
Simone’s floor was INSANE
No way can you compare mckayla skinner and alicia sacramone
exactly. skinners form is horrible. no where near alicia
I love simone biles
Kyla is sooo beautiful!!
That's the best I've ever seen the Fei vault landed. Damn, that was good.
Thanks a lot for making this available
Mckayla should do presenting she's a natural!
I just watched 2013 Classics and Nationals and now this and it's day and night how the announcers changed from meet to meet. In 2013 they mentioned big mistakes and issues by Simone. Here they gloss over it and they are very critical of Kyla.
You never get tired watching Simone Biles. Her performances are evergreen. Simone Biles is an extraordinary gift to the world.
Awww Kyla no dejó de entrenar porqué quería ir a Río y no lo logró :( y Gaby y Aly si, aún con su receso de entrenamiento.
I love Simone Biles! Love, love, love her!
did anyone watch this for a full 1 hour and 31 minutes
Meee
daniel elentukh me!
I did!
nice
Me💁🏻💁🏻
Dear, Mr. Timmy: "Heighth" is not a word.
tide32athlete ya it is???????
Charles Dickens used the word heighth in great expectations
Yes it is.
When I saw Brenna flub that transition on bars, my heart broke.
Kyla's vault was absolutely gorgeous. Gorgeous.
simone's floor! wow! hope she can keep it going til Rio!
...now Tokyo...:)
Baby Norah is so cute!
Madison looks so unhappy here. It’s so nice to see how she got back into her groove at UCLA.
Thank you for finally finally finally finally uploading this!!!!!!! Anyway possible you can get 2013?
2013 is up. Just look up 2013 Secret Classic Full Broadcast and you shall find it.
I lovvveee gymnastics
pause at 4:10 She looks like she is 12 years old and she is adorable
She is 14
thank you very much for posting.
Anyone know the name of rachel gowey's floor music? It was so beautiful.
I hope you've gotten an answer by now, lol, but just in case it's called "My Sweet and Tender Beast." ua-cam.com/video/gvUg7KLAclA/v-deo.html This music was also used by Ivana Hong.
Kyla and her teammate both look good in the black and purple;)

What happened to all these amazing gymnasts???
I love Kyla and Simone's leotards
something about ragan has always reminded me of shawn johnson
Is jordan chiles eligible for rio. I did not see not coverage on her here which makes no sense and she won the juniors
I was thinking the same thing... No she isn't eligible for Rio. But they still could've given here a little coverage
No she's not eligible she is only 13 this year
She's not age eligible for Rio, so she competed in the earlier junior session.
The world team is looking like simone, kyla, rachel gowey. mcckala skinner and one more
At worlds you can have 6 per team so 2 more
No You can only have 5
Nimrah Ramzan nope, 6
im not trying to be mean or anything but its actually spelled mykayla skinner
Nimrah Ramzan Sr Azul World team is 6, Olympic is 5
one day I'm gonna be just like her
Good luck!
Miranda Paulino )
Ragan Smith is adorable and so tiny for being 14 years old. I am a lot taller than her and she is 2 years older than me!
the title said she was 13
I've been listening to Tim Daggett as a commentator since the 90s (with Elfie) and I never considered him annoying. However after reading these comments here and watching the broadcast I'm like damn, you guys are right, he's annoying as hell.
Dude, same! Been watching gymnastics since 1991 and it wasnt until reading comments from actual gymnasts that I could see..... "damn. He sucks." 😂😂😂😂
Waouh 😤 it is magic !!!❤👊👌
And a stuck Biles! She stuck her own move!
When are they going to get rid of Tim Daggett? I literally cannot stand him anymore. He for some reason thinks his opinion is the only important one.
I agree I want Tim Dagget to get fired/quit
I agree.. I wish they would get rid of him.
I agree with you! Amanda and John are better commentators!
Tim "phenaaaahmenal" Daggett
mwright166
Amanda is comentating! And Tim is not very annoying in this.
For once.
Kae Kae Jones I know right. This has never happened before.
Whatever became of Rachel Gowey? She was a dynamo! Did she get hurt? I don't recall hearing lots about her, and that's a shame.
Jenna Leigh's Beauty Slam- If I’m right, she got injured in podium training during the P&G’s in 2014. Broke her ankle and had a long recovery. Went to P&G’s in 2016 and Olympic Trials, so she came back, just not as good. She is now a Junior competing for Florida.
I'm so glad Ragan is eligible!!!!!
PRACTICE FULL, STAMINA FULL, POWERFUL AND NICE PLAYERS.......
I seriously admire gymnasts, but this sport scares the crap out of me. I just keep thinking that one small mistake can cause a very serious injury.
After that fall, I am not sure about MyKayla being the next Alicia Sacramone
They say that MyKayla is the new Alicia Sacramone, and I do believe she's getting there, but not quite yet.
You goes are great I wish I was as talented as you gies
thank u usagymorg!
Love it so much.
Not her best event are you serious man she's stuck it way better than you ever have in your career
Rachel Gowey does a 3 1/2? Cant wait to see that!
Omg they are so young
madison and laurie!
I watched that on TV.
Nia really reminds me of Gabby on bars!
Has Laney Madsen been to any of these "big" competitions? I heard she made national team training camp...something close to that. sorry I'm not a gymnast lol.
I dont really know it, but what I kniw is that she works for 2020 olympics because she is too young for rio 2016 so I think shes too young for this comps as well
thanks for uploading this!!!! awesome :)
simone stayed on top since 2013 till now
In the past the Karolyis forced women to retire by 20 or 21 at the latest. Thank God they're gone and we can see actual women doing women's gymnastics.
I wish Tim Dagget would stop talking about the girls' weights and sizes.
Where did he mention weight?
BABY RAGAN!!!!!
I can’t wait to see Simone biles and her USA teammates at the 2024 summer Olympic Games in Paris France 🇫🇷
Kylie has soooo much grace....posture i mean she is amazing....... Biles has soooo much power seriously... awesome... i think Rio is in for a treat...n im up for it
thank u usagymnasticsorg!
51:19 is just too precious 💞
