    Please Simone just needs an OG gold on beam before she retires. So close this year.

    the goddesses of beam routine, to me:
    1- catalina (the cat: pretty, agile and mysterious);
    2 - sanne (the butterfly: fluidity in motion w those spins);
    3 - nastia (the swan: ellegant and gracious, a feather in the air)

      She didn’t deserve that medal! Shannon’s difficult made her look like a joke. Look how low her chest was on that landing of the double tuck. That whole team was full of lies. Screw the Russians and I say that for today too!

      @@johnhazel3551 while the Soviet Union did mess with a great number of results and usurp many a deserved medal from other, better routines, THIS gold was very much deserved. Shannon had a couple of little things herself and wasn’t completely perfect either. Back then a low chest landing wasn’t as serious a markdown as it is today.

    I realise that this video is based on medals and reputation, and that some of the all-time greats are short on actual titles, but a video called 'Best Balance Beam Specialists of All Time' really should have Yang Bo, Fan Ye, Li Shanshan, Olga Mostapanova, Natalia Shaposhnikova, Ekaterina Vandisheva and Svetlana Grozdova in it.

      I'm with you on Yang Bo. It's an absolute travesty that she only has the 1990 World Cup victory to show for her magnificence. She was simply magnificent.
      This video is about beam medallists rather than actual beam specialists.

      This is based on success at Meets. Shawn was far from perfect. She never once stuck that dismount and her chest was low in nearly all of her acrobatic skills. she landed that standing full with her chest practically against her thighs every single time I saw her do it. Just because she was consistent and didn’t have many balance checks doesn’t mean she was perfect. Liukin was consistently superior in several ways and was more successful in competition.

      Biggest waste how? Only she can do these difficult turns and the turn combo on beam. You don’t have to be great on everything to get a medal. Besides, on-beam acro difficulty is useless thanks to the beam code. Most importantly, she hits when it matters on beam.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@lizk1780 it’s not of low risk. No one does double L turn and triple turn on beam. “Difficult acrobatics” is a lie because many people’s most difficult acro excluding the dismount is an aerial nowadays.
