after i saw so many RG girls from before to 2012....i think bessonova has unique glamour and perfomance way which no one can copy...and her performance always touch everyone heart inside
As much as I respect Kanayeva... Bessonova deserved to win here. Of course i'm not a judge nor even a gymnast, but she seemed to have performed more consistently. And lets admit, Anna's routines were far more interesting to watch than Kanaeva's. This gymnast deserved so much more, specially from 2005-2009 when she was, for me, just THE BEST. Well at least she had the biggest, strongest, craziest fan club... Also, i don't know if it's just me but seems like Bessonova is the gymnast whose videos have more visualizations on UA-cam!
I kind of agree with you but I also don't. The reason kanaeva won was because Anna is more aggressive and her moves don't flow as well. But anyways it's a bit too late to argue about this. What's done is done.
Christina Jaroe I agree that Kanaeva was more fluid, sometimes it looked as if she could fly. And yes, Bessonova had a more aggressive style but that's the kind of gymnasts i like, balls of energy. I often get bored with the ballerina-like gymnasts, which doesn't mean i'm unable to appreciate all kinds of gymnasts... Different tastes... But yeah, it's too late to complain!
Both Anna and Evgenia are amazing. Anna shows power and endurance in her routines. Evgenia shows grace and poise. Both are legends in Rhythmic Gymnastics.
It breaks my heart to see her so disappointed when the score comes up. She's has a magnetism that even Kanaeva--with all her brilliance--doesn't have. Not many athletes can carry off this music, but she does and does it wonderfully. I love the way she walked out onto the floor. She meant business and commanded everyone's attention immediately. I love her.
The artistic section is about connecting with the music and Kanaeva is great at that. Where her score should've been lower because of the errors is execution.
I think that Anna Bessonova was one of artists. Her acts were not just performance, not only gymnast, but also dance. Those looks like performances of Cirque de Soleil. We can watch shock, pleasure, sadness, anger, impression and so on from Anna Bessonova on a stage !!
i think one of her best ribbon choreografies ever... i like it so much, it's not fair that kanaeva is on the first place!!! !!!best cheorografie ever!!!
I know nothing about rhythmic Gymnastics but I believe the performance that wow-ed the crowd, entertained its audience, and gave me a feeling of just pure bliss is the one who should have won. After viewing both Anna and Evgenia's performance, Anna clearly should have won. Well good luck 2012 :)
Anna es y será una de las grandes gimnastas de rítmica, por su carisma, técnica, sus ejercicios, sus músicas, su expresividad...su personalidad...siempre la recordaremos como la gran gimnasta que es ...por siempre tus admiradores que te queremos.
Канаева лучше выступила, просто обалденно, и поверьте русских не любили и готовы были занижать, но Женя прекрасно выступила и судьи не смогли занизить ей оценки.
it is amazing how much this girl improved since 2004 at least for me, she looks much more polished not that she wasn't a good gymnast before but now is much more interesting to watch good job
I love Zhenya's Padam Padam routine! I actually think that the end of Zhenya's routine(the triple backscale pirouette) is just so incredible and amazing that the judges forget about any other mistakes she may have made:) I think Zhenya is a real, classical gymnast.
Her routine is not as difficult as Kanaeva's but I really really love her spirit. I do. Oh, the passion with which she executes her movements! They are all so sharp!!!
As for the Olympics, I will definitely be there and experience the glory and passion of it all. Whoever want to miss it?? I have tickets for the opening/ closing and several other events ready and wheee...guess what?? I will be watching these athletes/gymnasts perform. Maybe I'll be sitting next to you? =D
Success isn't always measured in gold :) In ice skating, Michelle Kwan is one of the most beloved skaters of all time and never won a gold medal. That doesn't matter in the end, though, because she's worth more in the minds of spectators than a gold medal. For rhythmic gymnastics, this is the same as Anna Bessonova. Kanaeva may win the gold, but she will never have the same warm reception and enthusiastic crowd as Bessonova!
In 2000, Irina Deriugina was a judge and she (and more judges) were consider guilty in UNDERscored a gymnast (Olena Vitrychenko) in EC of Zaragoza: she was inexplicably placed in 17th place. When FIG reviwed the tapes they found pouves of discriminations against Olena by several judges including Irina Deriugina.
Let me be clear once and for all, even though I never trully believe the scores that I see on the board due to some corrupt judgements, I still love and still enjoy watching these gymnasts perform...always have. It's a truly amazing and a beautiful sport you know, so there's no chance that I will not watch and experience it live ^.^ I just hope that this time around all the foul judges and the corrupt judging system will be removed and become a thing of the past-although I very much doubt that.
Simply gorgeous. I think she got robbed big time on this one. And the replay of her catch at 3:19 was insane. I never realized this kind of thing happens on a competitive level.
Simplemente magestuosa; el dinamismo, creatividad, dramatismo y arte que le ponía Anna a sus ejercicios era único... Todos sabemos que Kanaeva es superior a Bessonova hablando tecnicamente, pero en esta final de cinta; Sin duda alguna, el oRO era para Anna... Qu pena x los jueces que siempre ponen la nota al pais y no realmente a la rutina.... Anna Eres la mejor...... Excelente rutina....!!
Wow another amazing routine from anya!!! She was waiting for the apparatus in her risks quite a few times and hopped abit on her pivots but aside from that it was belissema!!
bessonova and kanaeva is incomparable..they're unique and awesome in their own ways.it's just judge are more entertained with Kanaeva..stop comparing I love them both:))
@ContortionBelle of course, i understand there are a lot of elements to it that aren't close to those in ballet, but as someone who doesn't know the sport well i mean they are similar to watch. The music is often similar, the costumes are different but both are feminine, sparkly and graceful and both sports/art forms require grace, strength, poise, and defying the laws of physics
What a masterpiece!!! I prefer Petrova's interpretion of Carmina Burana... but.. it's awesome.. captivated.. They were hypnotized by her electrifying performances and intoxicating moves... The audience was enraptured
@MajalovesNick I don't think anyone opposes that Kanaeva is the better gymnast, but we are talking about this particular final were Zhenya did a lot of mistakes while Anya went more or less clean. :)
A Anna le hicieron muchas veces lo que sucedió en Tokyo, la dejaron a escasas 0.10 de alcanzar el oro por aparatos en la cinta, siendo que Kanaeva tuvo error en el All around en cinta y en final también. Kanaeva es la mejor pero en cinta tuvo errores y Bessonova la superó, ella debió ganar ese oro en este aparato. Quien diría que ahora Rusia es la que reclama injusticias siendo que múltiples veces fueron favorecidos sobre las demás naciones
I agree with you eulucil, but the only thing Bess. do in releve are the fouettes and little things more because she doesn't risk her back at all.Thank you for the right name of the position.The lack of releves in the turns is not an exclusive problem of Kana., but from the last trained generations of GR(shame!)Bess. still doing some because she is senior.
Kanaeva had 0.1 in artistic more than besso. For me, that means that they were at the same level. I think bessonova's routine was way more creative than kanaeva's. The judges didn't know were to discount score to anna and did it in the artistic.
@Aorenai Michelle Kwan is one of the most winning skaters of all time. She won 5 world titles, 9 US championships + a bunch of other gold medals. I guess you mean she never won the Olympics. ;) Kwan and Bessonova have a lot of the same qualities, like their ability to dazzle the audience and the average viewer..
Far better than Kanaeva, amazingly expressive. Judges are always mesuring the reputation of a team, it seems that the only mistake that kanaeva can do is to drop off the ribbon, all the other mistakes are part of the routine?? NO WAY
@fortheloveofRG Not for rhythmic gymnastics? Are you kidding? There is nothing wrong with expressing a dark persona in a routine. Not every single gymnasts has to have a back that folds in two. She isn't being full of herself, she is acknowledging the support that the audience is giving her. Whether or not it was her difficulty or not, her presence on the floor is the most memorable of all.
OMG! this is SOOO unfair :( Same happened with syncro-swimming, gold medal for a Russian girl (who did it great, I don't deny that, but not so good for a gold...), instead of Gemma Mengual!! Anna Bessonova, you deserved that gold!!! you're awesome ^o^!!!!!
And again I say,Anna (in my opinion) did way better in this and the other apparatus.So,for me she was the best in these areas regardless of how you may think or perceive it.And for the record,I respect all these athletes/ gymnasts because they are great and special in their own way.Who says I hate or am jealous of them?My gosh...why should I be hating or be jealous of them??You got it all completely wrong.I just can't help but to stress it out for you once again:the corrupt judging system sucks.
I think that comment was sarcastic, because someone said that Russian gymnasts are the best and so he/she replied that Anna must be Russian then, because she's just great
last year, I could at least say that Kanaeva deserved her medals based on her performance. She was neck and neck with Bessonova. But at THIS event, no...just no. Kanaeva will only get worse if she gets free rides. Bessonova will always be queen of rhythmic gymnastics. she has something better than a gold medal for vindication, the ability to touch our hearts with her routines! (sorry for sounding cheesy xD)
She's the BEST! I don't care what the foul judges think because they are corrupt and besides, I never believe in sports that involve judging and bribery. Boo to you judges! She did way better than Kanaeva and that's the fact and that's the truth and the audience know it! You will always be the best Anna! Performance and personality/appearance-wise. =D
This is just amazing, i thought kanaeva was the best ever until i learned about bessonova. Completely changed my mind now!
after i saw so many RG girls from before to 2012....i think bessonova has unique glamour and perfomance way which no one can copy...and her performance always touch everyone heart inside
totally underscored! truly deserved gold in this event!
As much as I respect Kanayeva... Bessonova deserved to win here. Of course i'm not a judge nor even a gymnast, but she seemed to have performed more consistently.

alecsia96 oh well. We all have different opinions:)
Christina Jaroe I don’t see any complaining just an opinion on how he/she thought Anna was robbed multiple times and I agree.
Both Anna and Evgenia are amazing. Anna shows power and endurance in her routines. Evgenia shows grace and poise. Both are legends in Rhythmic Gymnastics.
Anna, you are the real queen…
As a huge Kanaeva AND Bessonova fan, I am - to this day - salty about the results.
I feel like she deserved gold here and a silver medal in 2004... such a shame she was always getting second or third
It breaks my heart to see her so disappointed when the score comes up. She's has a magnetism that even Kanaeva--with all her brilliance--doesn't have. Not many athletes can carry off this music, but she does and does it wonderfully. I love the way she walked out onto the floor. She meant business and commanded everyone's attention immediately. I love her.
Well Kanaeva got 9.600 for artistic with all the errors, and Bessonova 9.500 without visible errors.
The artistic section is about connecting with the music and Kanaeva is great at that. Where her score should've been lower because of the errors is execution.
Christina Jaroe It connects best with Viner's money. I know it is 2009, but nowdays things ain't different.The one who pays the bills order the music.
Simply gorgeous. Amazing athlete.
this routine was so intense! absolutely amazing! it makes you go like: why did it end so fast! i want to watch more! anna is truly the BEST!
I think that Anna Bessonova was one of artists.
Her acts were not just performance, not only gymnast, but also dance.
Those looks like performances of Cirque de Soleil.
We can watch shock, pleasure, sadness, anger, impression and so on from Anna Bessonova on a stage !!

damn corrupt judges, Anna deserved the first place, always great injustice to this wonderful and unique gymnast
Anna es y será una de las grandes gimnastas de rítmica, por su carisma, técnica, sus ejercicios, sus músicas, su expresividad...su personalidad...siempre la recordaremos como la gran gimnasta que es ...por siempre tus admiradores que te queremos.
I love this routine..it's simply perfect!!!!
Those judges consistently screwed her in those days. They blatantly favored Kanayeva. Very, very unfair.
Russian athletes will always be unfairly favoured in nearly every sport.
Viner is rich so-
Even with kabaeva too
Yeah, that was right. She was the real champion, actually.
Канаева лучше выступила, просто обалденно, и поверьте русских не любили и готовы были занижать, но Женя прекрасно выступила и судьи не смогли занизить ей оценки.
Bessonova
The best of the best!!
Forever!!
A'm still in love...
it is amazing how much this girl improved since 2004
at least for me, she looks much more polished
not that she wasn't a good gymnast before but now is much more interesting to watch
good job
I so love how she walks out there and presents herself. She is like a queen. So tall, beautiful and regal. Should have won this, I believe.
You are the NO. 1 in my heart forever!! LOVE YOU ANNA!!!!!
I love Zhenya's Padam Padam routine! I actually think that the end of Zhenya's routine(the triple backscale pirouette) is just so incredible and amazing that the judges forget about any other mistakes she may have made:) I think Zhenya is a real, classical gymnast.
This is my fav routine from anna!!
i like the ending
Anna your so amazing...OMG..I do MAG gymnastics in Philippines but
enter school,and CRAA only...
I totally agree about her leaps; she really did have the last word in her leaps, such amplitude and so well flighted.
B-E-S-S-O-N-O-V-A!!!! Our Queen!!!
She's awesome. I'm gonna miss her a lot. Her oversplits, balance, strenght, orginality... :(
Amazingly beautiful...
COME ON BESSONOVA!!! JUDGES GOT BORED WATCHING THE SAME STUFF FROM YOU!!!
No words... simply GORGEOUS.
Da igual el tiempo que haya pasado, sigue siendo la mejor!
Si y avait que moi je te mettrais comme note 20 / 20 .
S'est un des plus sport que j'aime regarder .
Anna tu es la meilleur .
Her routine is not as difficult as Kanaeva's but I really really love her spirit. I do. Oh, the passion with which she executes her movements! They are all so sharp!!!
Aiutatemi! non riesco a smettere di guardare questo video!!
As for the Olympics, I will definitely be there and experience the glory and passion of it all. Whoever want to miss it?? I have tickets for the opening/ closing and several other events ready and wheee...guess what?? I will be watching these athletes/gymnasts perform. Maybe I'll be sitting next to you? =D
It was the 2009 World Championship in Mie
ok this was so perfect, wtf 9,4 for execution, it's not fair. they always do this to her

That doesn't matter in the end, though, because she's worth more in the minds of spectators than a gold medal. For rhythmic gymnastics, this is the same as Anna Bessonova. Kanaeva may win the gold, but she will never have the same warm reception and enthusiastic crowd as Bessonova!
Love the music, Carmina Burana is one of my fav pieces
神々しい位に美しい。
faultlessly ! faultlessly!!!!!!!!!!perfect perfect!
I agree, Anna is the best !!! her routine was perfect

なんて美人なんだろう！演技完璧だったのに・・・これは1位でしょ・・・
she is the best.... ohhh my gooooood amazing,
perfectly executed routine. definitely should have been first place!!
Simply gorgeous. I think she got robbed big time on this one. And the replay of her catch at 3:19 was insane. I never realized this kind of thing happens on a competitive level.

I totaly agree
She was simply the best !!!!

my favorite routine of her she was the best
1984 7 29 born in Kiev
25 years old.
she has that something no one else has
@Darkina85 dont hate her. it's not really her fault. if u wanna hate, hate the judges instead for ALWAYS not giving Anna what she deserves.
her pivots are amazing)))
What a masterpiece!!! I prefer Petrova's interpretion of Carmina Burana... but.. it's awesome.. captivated.. They were hypnotized by her electrifying performances and intoxicating moves... The audience was enraptured
@ILoveFigures sure.
I like Anna, it's sad that she isnt doing gymnastic anymore. :(
@MajalovesNick I don't think anyone opposes that Kanaeva is the better gymnast, but we are talking about this particular final were Zhenya did a lot of mistakes while Anya went more or less clean. :)
A Anna le hicieron muchas veces lo que sucedió en Tokyo, la dejaron a escasas 0.10 de alcanzar el oro por aparatos en la cinta, siendo que Kanaeva tuvo error en el All around en cinta y en final también.

Quien diría que ahora Rusia es la que reclama injusticias siendo que múltiples veces fueron favorecidos sobre las demás naciones
She's talented, beautiful and jawesome!
@ILoveFigures Yeah, absolutely, they do!! And so, they are two of my favourite sportwoman ever, no doubt about it.
The song is called "Carimba burana"
Fabulosa por siempre
my gosh what do you have to do to get top 10 shes absolutely amazing' if judges cant score fairly they shoudnt be there
I agree with you eulucil, but the only thing Bess. do in releve are the fouettes and little things more because she doesn't risk her back at all.Thank you for the right name of the position.The lack of releves in the turns is not an exclusive problem of Kana., but from the last trained generations of GR(shame!)Bess. still doing some because she is senior.
Oh my god!! 0.1!!! she is really beautiful!! always no.1!!
@SuperMusicxx09 im glad u do :)
HIGHWAY ROBBERY!!! Bessonova won that event and the crowd knew it. Damn shame, probably the main reason why she ended up retiring...
:-(
This is the perfect routine!!!
INCREIBLE!!!
Kanaeva had 0.1 in artistic more than besso. For me, that means that they were at the same level. I think bessonova's routine was way more creative than kanaeva's.
The judges didn't know were to discount score to anna and did it in the artistic.
@Simsie94 I believe is Carmina Burana
@Aorenai Michelle Kwan is one of the most winning skaters of all time. She won 5 world titles, 9 US championships + a bunch of other gold medals. I guess you mean she never won the Olympics. ;) Kwan and Bessonova have a lot of the same qualities, like their ability to dazzle the audience and the average viewer..
Carl Orff - Carmina Burana, also known as Soundtrack of an older movie: Excalibur.
El arte de esta mujer no lo tiene nadie...
amo demais anna Bessonova !!!
Quelle injustice !!!! :(
Anna méritait vraiment la médaille d'or à cet engin !!! (au ballon aussi d'ailleurs)
Stupenda!! da sepre un ottima interpretazione...
absolutely LOVEEEE her!
Yes. The WC was her last competition.
Far better than Kanaeva, amazingly expressive.
Judges are always mesuring the reputation of a team, it seems that the only mistake that kanaeva can do is to drop off the ribbon, all the other mistakes are part of the routine?? NO WAY

@Toriasponge thanks..I got it a couple of days ago.
wonderful, terrific, excellent
OMG! this is SOOO unfair :(
Same happened with syncro-swimming, gold medal for a Russian girl (who did it great, I don't deny that, but not so good for a gold...), instead of Gemma Mengual!!

And Kanaeva isn't repetitive O.o ?
Even lots of commentators say she's boring...
I think that comment was sarcastic, because someone said that Russian gymnasts are the best and so he/she replied that Anna must be Russian then, because she's just great

She did way better than Kanaeva and that's the fact and that's the truth and the audience know it!
You will always be the best Anna! Performance and personality/appearance-wise.
=D
she is perfect
BESSONOVA, YOU WILL STAY THE BEST, F-O-R-E-V-E-R !
