@@thangvuong9196 you probably have, but was it at Worlds or the Olympics? That's the omly way to get it into COP. Maybe that's why we haven't seen more attempts at it. Thst it wasn't done cleanly at one of those events.
So many female gymnasts are not as flexible as those in the past or at least never showcase their flexibility! Nowadays it's all about power & big muscle!
@@nortfroggirl not necessarily, female gymnastics has always been more about being graceful while doing your routine (why do you think they dance so much) while in men’s gymnastics it’s all about power and masculinity
Yea. 1 of my favs. Along w worley and teza 1. I've always pointed these 1 out when I see compilations and each time I'm rewinding and slow motioning to try to break down what they did and how.
I wish more gymnasts attempted the Teza I because I feel like it can be executed masterfully with the right technique. Also not on this video because this is beam, but any difficult bars mount. There are so many difficult mounts but no one really does mounting skills on the event anymore unfortunately
I would love to see more diversity in skills. With many nations Olympic qualifications coming up and the Olympics itself, I am dreading seeing virtually everyone do a wolf turn. God, I hate those. As for the skills listed I like the Worley. It looks very unique and if someone was to combine it with another move it could be amazing.
Who wants to not qualify just because of diversity in skills??? Or wants to be the one that causes your team and/ or country to loose just because you wanted to be different 💁🏽♀️💁🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️??? That’s selfish af
@@angelaburress8586 i agree. However if in thd code of points they were rewarded for such skills then people should stop doing what many may say watered down routines or do the watered down one to get into the finals then switch it up on in the finals. If the FIG or IOC but on an additional score for atristry then either add or average the 3 (difficulty execution & artistry) together. I could see them doing that to every event but vault for the women. I would enjoy gymnastics more if there was more artistry, especially on floor. I could definitely do the same for the men.
It seems like beam mounts were really watered down in recent years. I remember when every gymnast was doing blind mounts onto the beam. Now they just get on with their hands or leap on from a springboard. Much less exciting.
Yes! Every olympic season, I go over old favorites. I feel like the 90s had such artistic routines. Now, they are just meh...all about the big bang. Boginskaya, Moceanu, Gutsu, Miller...and so many more - 92 & 96 routines really stand out to me.
I think they're just minimizing the threat of falling off right away a la Alicia Sacramone. It's one thing to fall off on an Arabian or an acro series, but falling during your mount? Yikes.
I think the FIG should make an originality bonus based on the routines at the previous worlds. Like they could look at all the UB routines in the event final and the all-around final at 2019 worlds, and any skill done by two or more athletes would be put on a list. (Maloney, Jaeger, Pak, full-in, etc). Then every skill not on that list would get a 0.1 bonus in 2020
The Dunn mount is gorgeous! Li Li's spin is beautiful, her execution was unreal, but what makes it iconic is what she did with it in combo, and the composition of her routine, power, grace, difficulty, artistry and flexibility - the whole package. My favourite skills on beam never seen now are, the Cradle, back extensions a la Miller, and the simple (though not in my mind) Valdez. How you get from skill to skill is important too. Teza was such an underrated gymnast, still mind-blowing originality to this day. Love your videos!
YES! And The Miller! The roll to handstand she did Was so fluid, so pretty. And there's a composition requirement that the Leo must touch the beam at a point in the routine(at least in the last few CoP's there was. Pretty sure it's still a thing) and to my knowledge, most just breeze through that with a quick lay down on the beam. The Miller rolls might actually add something extra!!
1. I think that The Dunn Mount is so pretty, really 2. How do you have just 12k subs, your channel is so good, you deserve so much more attention. Love your videos, btw :)
Sanne’s routine with that mount in the 2016 Olympics is one of my favorite beam routines I’ve seen in the past 40 years. It’s such a pretty and graceful mount
Thank you for sharing! I was just talking to someone about how boring gymnastic routines are becoming now days, I thought it was me getting older. I guess, there is more focus on the younger participants getting hurt, since they start so young. The problem is that I have stopped watching because of the lack of variety; maybe when the audience goes away they will change back, but I don't see this bureaucracy changing anytime soon.
The double-front tucked dismount is surely underrated. If it could be upgraded to G, that would make more sense. I am hoping to see more gymnasts trying this in the future, but maybe with a front handspring before taking off from the beam.
I really thought gymnastics had evolved to its highest form. Now YT is showing me all these rare skills... I like the LI Li split and I wish there more fun mounts.
The Li Li reminds me of break dancing and looks amazing. The last one also looks incredible specially if it's done with no pause til the athlete is standing.
The double front should be valued G and the B + G dismount connection value it's so dumb, from a roundoff it's the easiest way to do it. Are they expecting someone to stand at the end of the beam and jump into a Patterson or Full in?
Li Li and the Chinese team came to Hawai'i and did and exhibition against the US Olympic team. I saw her perform that move. They also worked out at my high school gymnastics room so I got her autograph. Both teams were amazing.
I haven’t seen anyone doing it this quad, but Toni-Ann Williams of Jamaica did a double front beam dismount in 2016! I’d love to see that dismount get some more attention.
LOVE the Li Li! A beautiful way to get the "Leo touching the beam" requirement! Love the Teza 1, but I feel like inherent form deductions probably discourage gymnasts from training/competing it- plus....OW!😜
Lots of gymnasts still doing illusions. Chelsea Memmel doing it (again) on her channel but hasnt competed it yet. It's in her routine though. Skinner has it in her beam routine too though her flexibility is poor so it's not great looking but shes working on it.
Risk and lack of flexibility for many gymnasts. It's a D which is (currently) same as 2 wolf turns. Wolf turns are easier to perform and don't require you lose sight of the beam.
They're all so beautiful. Really special. It's like they enjoy doing them, they add such a flair to an otherwise boring(?) routine. Thanks for this. No. 2 my fav.
My favorite is the last one, excuse my ignorance the something mount don't remember entire name, and also love what Li Li did is also breathtaking, it's so very beautiful and these ladies adding the feminine twist to everything they do it then becomes magic❤️ please always be kind to all gymnasts and appreciate everything they do ❤️
What is my favorite skill? Being able to walk without falling! --- I admire these young ladies and I know the hard work they put in to hone their skills. They are amazing.
I know nothing about gymnastics, though I pleaded with my parents to enroll me for a decade. We lived in a rural area, and only one friend was blessed enough to have an “at-home” Momma (the kind that upgrades a childhood from GREAT! to bloody OUTSTANDING!!!!), and a Mom willing to do what she signed up for when she got pregnant…sacrifice. HOWEVER…I watched as much gymnastics as I could…on one of my TWO channels, 18 or 36, OR, on one of the 12 perfect days, a fuzzy channel 12! (Yup, we also had a “party-line” phone plan when we first moved deeper into the mountains. THAT was an experience. You shared a phone line with several other homes ((nearby??)). You pick up your phone, with its 50’ cord twisted around everything within a two room area, and rather than a dial tone, you heard OTHER PEOPLE TALKING!! I would quickly, and with the perfect manners that had been beaten into me, HANG UP. It meant other peeps on your line were USING YOUR LINE, and you needed to be patient and allow them to enjoy their conversation…even if it was a three hour convo with their granny! Other peeps were NOT so mannerly, and would LISTEN IN ON YOUR CALL. If you didn’t know this, ya best not be hiding anything, or be gossiping about the 7 houses in your 10,000 sq. miles of “hood”. You also prayed if you heard that click identifying someone picking up from another home, that it wasn’t Ms. swampy-britches, who would JOIN YOUR CONVERSATION, inserting stupid to the 10th degree info, just to get you off the phone so she could make HER calls. Some days she would just immediately start insisting you end your call bc you were nothing but a worthless kid, and she was CLEARLY, Queen of the Hood…in her OWN Crazyville, which resides in her own State-of-Crazy, in her frightening head. She would just loud talk, sing…the operas with the REALLY HIGH NOTES, spout things like “butter, butta, butta, butta-butta-butta-butta-butta, butta, butta, BUTTEEEEERRRR. Looking back, hilarious. At the time…I believe I may have acquired ptsd! Buttttttaaaaa!) Ok…every single “trick”, stunt, skill….worthy of the rest of us bowing at your feet! My favorite was the “Lili”! What a beautiful move. This SCORING BS is ruining an outstanding sport! Why create, when you will only lose points to keep the “organization’s” job easier. Ugh. This world where we are supposed to be so FREE? We are filmed everywhere, little private planes from the super rich are flown over our homes from dawn until dusk, purposely flying too loud and too low if you file a complaint, ok…too specific, but these artists are having their talent STIFLED to make it easier for SOMEONE else. What kind of BS is THAT? Outstanding creations ladies!!
They're all beauuutiful! 🤩🤩 But I think my fav is the Worley, cause it's so surprising - took me a min to understand what happened and how they land in the opposite direction. Wanted this vid to be longer! 😋👍
The last one, The Dunn, the mount onto the Beam. You are right though, the creativity and artistry are gone and it is just point scoring. i loved watching the brave moves and tumbles until the last year or so.
Can anyone explain the scoring system? Is an E a high score or low? I am not familiar with anything that has to do with gymnastics. I just like to watch these kinds of videos
Any skill rated A is considered easy, like a cartwheel on the beam or simply grabbing the low bar to mount. As the the alphabet progresses, the harder the skill becomes. For example one floor skill that is named after Simone, is rated J in which this means the skill is very difficult to pull off. The further down the alphabet a skill is rated, the harder it is.
The Li Li just looks so elegant and dramatic and it's just so eye- catching that it just has to be my favorite although if I ever attempted this skill, even though I'm a gymnast, I would probably fail, even after a bunch of practice
Sanne Wevers didn't perform the exact Dunn mount in 2016, she landed on the beam facing backwards instead of forward. Maybe it's a little easier that way? It looks beautiful nonetheless.
I just wish the FIG would award originality and creativity more. The Dunn mount is just one of those moves that tells me I’m witnessing greatness. Elvire Teza is just a delight to see perform in any capacity. She’s so strong and confident in her movement. I know it wasn’t featured but I do think the Phillips mount deserves an honorable mention for beam. I’d finally like to echo a few other commenters and say some creative bar mounts would be cool to see.
If you know gymnasts who actually perform these skills, please share it with the community :) My videos are always based on my knowledge, there might be someone out there I'm not aware of...

The Li Li is the most beautiful move I've seen on beam! Could we convince everyone to do that instead of the dreaded wolf turn? 🐺🔄
Gymnastics has become so cookie cutter. We need more originality & diversity !
I love it but it looks very painful to perform. Your vertebra would rub on the beam as you are spinning
This reminds me of the time I tried to do a wolf turn at my house and almost died. It’s insanely difficult
@Blue Flu That is the best trick of it all; trying to work an error into looking like it was part of the program.
I hate the wolf turn
i wish the Li Li would be done more often, it's so pretty and i think it can show a lot of control when it's done right

They should devalue it to a B so there's no incentive to do it.

That Teza 1 is crazy. I love it and that Li Li is very graceful. And OF COURSE Produnova was throwing the double front tuck (forgot the skill name).
the Worley is one of the most elegant moves I've seen. it's a shame it's not more popular. it's gorgeous
The Teza 1 is probably the coolest skill on this list... double front dismount is dope too
The Li Li reminds me of break dancing and looks amazing. The last one also looks incredible specially if it's done with no pause til the athlete is standing.
The Li Li is super difficult AND super pretty at the same time! But OUCH!!!
I remember gymnasts from Atlanta 1996 Olympics used to do 3 backflips in a row on beam, but I never see that anymore.
I remember when Teza performed that 1st skill and was just in awe of her. Amazing!
The double front should be valued G and the B + G dismount connection value it's so dumb, from a roundoff it's the easiest way to do it. Are they expecting someone to stand at the end of the beam and jump into a Patterson or Full in?
It makes sense to have a bonus for a B+B+ F (or more) dismount, but not a B+F dismount. Some rules or cv bonus make no sense to me...
Dont forget the Rulfova. Both on the beam and as a mount. Both are rated D and it is criminal! should be E and F
Li Li and the Chinese team came to Hawai'i and did and exhibition against the US Olympic team. I saw her perform that move. They also worked out at my high school gymnastics room so I got her autograph. Both teams were amazing.
The Dunn looks pretty cool. Surprised we don't see more from gymnasts like Wevers, who don't have the explosive power, but still want difficulty
The Worley is very similar to the Onodi, my favorite skill to see. I'd like to see more do either of these skills.

The Li li is my favorite in this video. Such a beautiful skill.
the li li and the dunn look amazing to me
woah! The Li Li is super cool. That move is awesome
Für mich das anspruchvollste Gerät, ich bewundere diese Frauen und ihre Leistungen.
OMG the Tezas were spectacular!!
That Li Li is one of my favorite all-time skills. It just looks so beautiful and elegant
You fell and got up. You just keep going. Please keep going.
I dont even watch this and I somehow ended up here, I'm not disappointed though. Awesome video
loved the dunn!
Sanne Wevers didn't perform the exact Dunn mount in 2016, she landed on the beam facing backwards instead of forward. Maybe it's a little easier that way? It looks beautiful nonetheless.
I just wish the FIG would award originality and creativity more. The Dunn mount is just one of those moves that tells me I’m witnessing greatness. Elvire Teza is just a delight to see perform in any capacity. She’s so strong and confident in her movement. I know it wasn’t featured but I do think the Phillips mount deserves an honorable mention for beam. I’d finally like to echo a few other commenters and say some creative bar mounts would be cool to see.
omg Ms Li Li with that Rhthmic Gymnastics back arch!! Bring it hun-T!
Great video!
That spin is something amazing as well as the teza
I love the Worley skill!
I love the mount that is currently performed by Angelina Melnikova
The Dunn Mount is beautiful. I would love to see it return.
The Li Li gets props for its nod to hip-hop, but the Dunn mount is the most beautiful skill here. It's like a little story.
Out of all sports i respect gymnasts the most - the things they are able to do a breathtaking.
Yea that last Mount is beautiful.
