@@theclimbingchefthat’s how body proportions work. You don’t necessarily need to be tall to have long legs, or the opposite, you can have kinda long legs without being tall. Having long legs it’s a blessing and will always make you look taller than what you really are. I know a ballerina girl that has extremely longgg legs (Russian genes) people always assume she’s really tall for her age, yet she’s only about 1.60cm. A similar case to Nastia
You know she was trying not to peak too soon. She was doing just enough to make the team. Once she did the switch flipped and she was able to come out of left field kinda and really show the world what she could do. I really miss her in competition because as was stated she brought an artistry to the sport.
Amazing thing is, is that for any other gymnast this would be a homerun beam routine. If you're used to watching Nastia though it seems like a rough routine because of two or three errors.
I love Nastia but the commentators are so biased with her, saying her only mistake was one wobble of her switch ring. She had lots of little balance checks in that routine. During Ivana's routine, everytime she had the smallest wobble they tutted about how she couldn't handle the pressure.
She had 3 visible balance checks, one after her sheep jump, one after her 180 wolf jump (which also broke her connection points), and a big one after her switch ring, and she had a hop on her landing. Yet the commentator said she had just one little error???
Jonas Jonsson back in the 2008 quad, no tenths were deducted when steps were taken, so the commentators only took in the balance check after the switch ring leap as an error
wow. she has very long lonegs and usually long legs are bendy.. and she keeps em straight! i love watching her everytime before i go to practice myself because it gets me motivated to be that good.
they determine how difficult the routine was, and that part is called the Difficulty score, and they determine how well executed it was (execution score, which is out of 10.) then they add thw two scores together. At least im pretty sure. :)
Leg below horizontal in the full turn (0.1 - 0.3 depending on how harsh the judges were) Wobble on the sheep jump (0.1) Wobble on the Onodi (0.1 deduction, 0.2 for broken connection) Large wobble on the split ring (0.5, as the leg came above horizontal) Crossed ankles in dismount (0.1) Small hop on dismount (0.1) The routine was graceful and beautiful, but it had a few technical errors, and the commentators were heavily biased towards Nastia, especially considering how harsh they were on other competitors.
Ugh I always hated how biased to her the commentators were. Tim made her sound so perfect when it wasn't a perfect routine. Yet they would pick apart all the others gymnasts. She really was beautiful, but the biased was so annoying. Tim really needs to be out
Most commentators I observed displayed an irrational favoritism toward SJ and were pety toward NL. It was a brew of politics and jealousy that affected performances and shouldnt have been tolerated.
Its called an Onodi, named after hungarian gymnast Henrietta Onodi; although she wasnt the first to do it, That was a Soviet gymnast named Olga Mostepanova, right back in 1983. She didnt submit it at the 1983 World championships, so she didnt get it named after her sadly. Some knowledgeable commentator, not these two clowns, will call it a Mostepanova too;)
You wouldn't have wobbled; you would have fallen on your face before you started. Why be so petty? No one came close to the quality of Nastia's performances even when she wobbled, even when she bumbled... There never will be this quality of artistic gymnastics again.
after her onodi she did a little balance check, which means she broke the connection between that and the full turning wolf jump. so, the comentators don't have a clue.
They actually did. They knew Nastia’s routine like the back of their hand, but were extremely biased towards her, even compared to any other American gymnast, so they didn’t say anything. She’s my favorite gymnast of all time but it’s just interesting seeing their different attitudes towards different gymnasts.

I have a hard time believing she's only about 5'2". But she really is. She just looks so tall and graceful like a swan.
She looks very statuesque standing next to Shawn Johnson
It's also a testament to how *tiny* she is.
How is she 5'2? I thought she was like 5'8

Her onodi gives me life

i love her onodi
She and Jordyn Wieber have the best 2.5 twist dismounts off the beam. Love it!
Jordyn’s was better
she has the most beautiful movements of any gymnast i've ever seen.
У всех Советских и Российских гимнасток грациозные выступления. В России гимнастика вышла из балета.
I'm not a gymnast, so I can't really judge, but I thought I saw several wobbles in there. Either way, it was a REALLY good routine to watch!
So beautiful, forever.
She does that switch leap 1/2 better than anyone ever!
she is just amazing
she is my role model!!
what an inspiration she is!
She had 3 visible balance checks, one after her sheep jump, one after her 180 wolf jump (which also broke her connection points), and a big one after her switch ring, and she had a hop
on her landing. Yet the commentator said she had just one little error???
I think she was referring to her routine from day one.
Jonas Jonsson back in the 2008 quad, no tenths were deducted when steps were taken, so the commentators only took in the balance check after the switch ring leap as an error
@@mht4908 that was for the floor. The steps and hops were deducted on the beam.
American commentators did that a lot back then
That was a bad night but...she was still the best, even with the errors.
wow. she has very long lonegs and usually long legs are bendy.. and she keeps em straight! i love watching her everytime before i go to practice myself because it gets me motivated to be that good.
omg... i actually heard myself yell come on nastia!!! that is so cool(:
i LOVE her
Espetacular Nastia

"right here, the dismount" YOU DON'T SAY
@jfluter Yep, she has a few little balance checks. Still a fantastic routine though.
@veevee305 her flip that she did with the one Legged is now called the Liukin
does that mount have a value?
Kevin Morales should be a B, at least it is in the 2017-2020 code
Does anyone know why wasn't her signiture move named after her in Beijing?
the flip is called an onodi, and the jump that follows is called a wolf jump, and she performs it with a full turn.
What's the move at 121 called?
What was that "Half turn than walkover"Thing called? An ONODI?
Yes, no one did it like NL!
Fantástico
Leg below horizontal in the full turn (0.1 - 0.3 depending on how harsh the judges were)
Wobble on the sheep jump (0.1)
Wobble on the Onodi (0.1 deduction, 0.2 for broken connection)
Large wobble on the split ring (0.5, as the leg came above horizontal)
Crossed ankles in dismount (0.1)
Small hop on dismount (0.1)
The routine was graceful and beautiful, but it had a few technical errors, and the commentators were heavily biased towards Nastia, especially considering how harsh they were on other competitors.
The awkward moment when you didn't notice the commentators because Nastia's routine blew your mind.
Not the same as Shawn Johnson, but gorgeous and amazing still.
she is more gracefull than Shawn but Shwan is more powerfull
Yes, I agree.
Ugh I always hated how biased to her the commentators were. Tim made her sound so perfect when it wasn't a perfect routine. Yet they would pick apart all the others gymnasts. She really was beautiful, but the biased was so annoying. Tim really needs to be out

She is stunning, too bad she didn’t choose ballet!
Too bad? Gymnastics was obviously the right choice.
@chatterbox4131 I counted four mistakes
@willsbob123 i think she has two .1s and a .5 deducted in this routine.
Yea it's an onodi
Is this score wrong? Her score seems a tad low even though she had a slight wobble.
probably w for wolf? :P
She’s made for the beam.
Did she invent that move where she lands on one foot? Or just perfect it?
rene ruiz it’s called the liukin, she definitely did
@@ellaashtyn it's not officially called that because they couldnt for some reason x
What was her score?
15.850
I prefer her beam over shawn's
She's 5'3" :)

Although, in fairness...Onodi is easier to pronounce!
haha I would only be able to do the wolf jump :)
I hate how it looks like her knees hyper extend. No matter how beautiful her gymnastics is, her legs get to me every time.
a lot of the recent gymnasts routines are the same. i hope the 2012 gymnasts spice it up a bit.
@flipnfly55 hahaha so do i!
"one small little mistake", she wobbled on a lot. It was just a little but it still counts.
You wouldn't have wobbled; you would have fallen on your face before you started. Why be so petty? No one came close to the quality of Nastia's performances even when she wobbled, even when she bumbled... There never will be this quality of artistic gymnastics again.

Like the romanian ones :)
@theBlondeFactory she's built more like a rhythmic gymnast.
at the last part, the woman commentator's words were cut off by the audience screams XD
The Arabian -3
nastias gymanstics is absolutly amazing but it freaks me out watching those twig legs. it seems like they are going to snap at any moment
Ever seen Khorkina?
@diamondzebra101 she got 2nd
i love how she has little make up on. Most gymnasts make their faces so colorful it looks so weird
after her onodi she did a little balance check, which means she broke the connection between that and the full turning wolf jump. so, the comentators don't have a clue.

I like to put the video on mute and just watch her.
i saw her make like 5 mistakes!
Her legs remind me of taffy. Lol
She needs to learn to smile.......a smile can change everything!!
the woman commentator annoys me, she talks too much!
