Who are these commentators? They both sound very nice and warm, and the woman is especially soft spoken and sweet. Most importantly, they are mostly very positive, encouraging, and not critical, and seem fair regardless of the gymnast's country origin. Overall a soothing experience to follow their voices. I found them way better than the NBC crew of Tim Dagget et al. who are literally exacerbating.
meangirlbecca I really like them both as well. The man has a easy, welcoming English accent that is always welcome in sports commentary, and the woman obviously has a lot of experience around gymnastics. Plus her voice is ever so gentle, I love these two :)
rockwell rockamoly Don’t day you won’t ever be able to do them, because you won’t, ever, if you believe that. Maybe you could do some, or even most of the things you watch if you give yourself the chance.
I usually watch gymnastics on NBC, where the commentators are forever judging the Russians and Chinese, and being cocky about how amazing the Americans are. So lovely to watch a British version where the commentators are so encouraging and so amused with how good they ALL are. Great stuff.
I'll consider this is one of the best Olympic Ub finals, here's why: -all routines looks original, bringing their own style of release skills, transitions, pirouettes -he kexin's release combo, till now it's mind-blowing. -komova's pak, let's don't talk about her mistake. She floats on her transition -yao's dismount. totally a queen of dlos -Beth tweedles entire routine, look how dynamic is her movements. Just that dismount were close. -seitz geinger full is terrific to see, it's rare to see it this quad -mustafina's entire routine. totally well deserving gold medal routine.🥇
Shannon is such a good commentator. Very thoughtful considered observations & better, IMHO, than Nastia. Nastia is still pretty new at it, though. She'll probably get better. She needs to stand up to Tim Daggett more. I love Tim, but I get really annoyed when he sits there "correcting" her about beam technique or something similar. I mean, really.
She moves from one skill to another without 'empty swings' in between. Turns and pirouettes are also skills, so that combined with the releasemoves makes a difficult routine. She has very good form, she ends all the turns in a handstandposition. And then of course the stuck landing. So she has a difficult routine and a great execution, which explains the gold medal.
Emily P When you connect turns and pirouettes to releases, if you’re off in a pirouette, then you can’t adjust before the release. Bigger risk = bigger potential for reward.
Chevy Girl how can you be artistic on the uneven bars? Also Aliya may not have an connected release moves but she connected them to pirouettes which also give her bonus points plus her execution.
The thing you gotta love about Beth Tweddle is that after Mustafina got her score, she smiles and claps for her; even though you can tell she’s nervous about not medaling.
@@yuppi3495 I never said her "diet" is any my business? And obviously she is on NO diet lol. What does me saying she is now a HUGE COW which we all can see have anything to do with that her diet in nun my business? Like huh?

OOOPS. you also say " So?" SO it is just my observation and FACT that she is now a MOOSE FLOAT. !!! Never said was my business but i DO point out TRUTH. Okurrr. Now pass the PORK!@@!!!! SNORT!!! MOO
This will forever be one of the most interesting uneven bars finals to me! Aliya was flawless, Tweddle and Kexin's routines were so fun to watch, Komova drama, and Seitz had that awesome twisting release move (I always joke that she's my cousin, lol). Here for it!
I think my favorite thing about Mustafina is that she has so many different versions of her routines for each event. She can elect to do a different version of her routine at any moment. She's super versatile!
Komova is the only one who can beat Aliya but doesn't have the right mind set and will power. Hope she gets her thoughts together and fight for that Gold in Tokyo.
I heard she couldn't continue because of her back problems. There's more to it than that, though, I'm sure. I think there was someone else against it in Russian gymnastics.
Can I just say that Yao Jinnan's full spins are my absolute favorite? Because they're so graceful and fluid and I love the way her hand waits a little before coming over to the bar, it makes it looks so casual and easy and flows so so beautifully.
I just want to thank this channel for existing. I was working at summer camp in 2012 and therefore didn't get to see any of the olympics during it. Though my sister did dvr some of the events, I still obviously missed a lot, and I enjoy watching them. This coverage is so much better than NBC, particularly the team and all around gymnastics because there's MORE of it, and other gymnasts are highlighted.
Komova is bursting with talent, but it seems that she can't handle pressure. He Kexin's routine looked better than Mustafina's, but Aliya has that super difficult dismount that put her start value up by Beth's. If Beth could have landed her dismount, she would have won easily.
+Rita Baumann Kexin had leg separations that whittled away at her score. She wasn't flawless and that's why it cost her the gold. Tweddle of course could have won gold too - but she had a bad landing on the dismount and was lucky to hang on for bronze.
Yeah, this is late but I'm especially glad He and Beth got medals. Beth being on her home turf and her last chance at an Olympic medal and He being the returning olympic champ (and such a good sport). I'm glad both of them got something.
Komova had all the makings of an Olympic AA champion but I think she was her own worst enemy sometimes. She didn't seem to be mentally or emotionally in the right place to be able to handle the pressure. I get it, I know I would be the same way.
She hit the bar with her toes and stepped out on her landing. Those are deductions. Her routine was awesome. She did it beautifully. But they beat themselves up for little mistakes because the judges will nail you to the wall for them.
So she qualified first in the all-around at 2011 worlds, but Jordyn Wieber beat her for gold by .033 and she was pretty crushed She came back these 2012 olympics with high hopes for AA gold and qualified first again. But in finals she had a bad vault landing. She performed the floor routine of her life and thought she might have made up for it, but nope. She cried and it was broadcast to the entire world. She had a great shot at a UB medal here and performed a stellar routine, except her foot hit the low bar and she was knocked out of the medals. Once it was time for BB final it looked like she was just exhausted and had given up, I think she fell twice. She was clearly capable of a lot and could have been great, but just did not perform at the most important moments. But hey, she's coming back to competition next month.

Elizabeth Tweddle's performance was the best in my opinion (although I don't know much about gymnastics form). I think its great she won her first medal in her home country!
I don’t care who won, but I’m just glad tweddle got something. After sticking with such difficult and unique skills for forever, she finally got some tangible reward for it. I highly admire gymnasts who go for entertaining routines (Kexin, Steiz, and Tweddle) over safe ones as a viewer (2016 bars was mundane, so, so mundane, esp. in comparison to 2012). Of course, score-wise, that doesn’t matter, but I don’t care about scores as a viewer lol.
Yea exactly, you don’t know much about gymnastics form. Aliya was superior, she had the same difficulty, she executed all her skills the best and has a lightness about her that Kexin and Tweddle don’t. She also managed to stick her dismount. She was spectacular that night.
Aliya Mustafina's routine was extremely difficult and technically perfect. Of course she deserved to win, so shut up all the haters out there. He Kexin's routine was only .1 more difficult, and had multiple visual errors. Yes she deserved to medal, but not gold.
Se31298 Time to become an Olympic judge instead of a youtube judge. I guess commentators nowadays think they do a better scoring than qualified judges nowadays.
Allen Clw I don't even understand what you're trying to get at. You're criticizing me for defending Mustafina in a comment section full of hate towards her?
+Se31298 ITA. Kexin and Tweddle had the big combo moves but both made mistakes - Tweddle with her dismount - she almost sat it down - and Kexin with her multiple leg separations. The best gymnast won and I'm glad the judges scored it correctly.
+terrific1290 It's a simple math equation. Skills on bars are rated from A-G and count towards the difficultly score .1-.7 respectively. These skills come in the form of pirouettes and releases. When connected together they also get addition tenths of connection value. Together those skills with the composition requirements totaling 2.5 creates the difficulty score. Tweddle, Komova, and Mustafina had D scores of 7.0 and Kexin 7.1. Since Mustafina had the highest E score by far, she won gold.
I feel so sorry for Komova it was her last chance and she had a really good chance of getting the gold - she would've scored 16.166 and come out on top.
#(Bits inbetween #'s are the edited bits!)# I don't want to disappoint you RainbowCharms58 but there is a bad disease going on at Brazil and if athletes go there, they could catch it, go back to there home country and spread it there.# And as a result of this, there might not be Rió 2016 Olympics# (This is not proven correct, however, this is a possibility)
Disgust101 Yeah of course, I know. I was a performer too. It would just get kind of annoying and distracting when people were shouting things from the sidelines.
For me if I were doing an Olympic final like the bars, I'd want that support. No matter how loud they are. I'd get anxiety if they weren't Cheering me on.
I honestly think it's extremely sweet that these competitors are very nice with one another, like when Aliya finished her routine and Beth congratulated her. That kind of attitude makes me happy. Although I would get the sadness as well.
+mrsjojo xoxo yes 2 silvers are a lot to be proud of, but for someone like Komova who's a perfectionist, it's disappointing. I think most of the heartbreak the person above was taking about came from the event finals especially. Beam final:fell off and sat down her dismount bar final:hit her feet on the low bar which is super uncharacteristic for her, and she definitely would have medaled without it. And ya Russia did get the silver for the TF, but it's not like they all hit routines, but just didn't have enough difficulty, the whole team sadly just fell apart pretty much. I hope Komova makes it to Río and can have a more successful games!
+Marcela Plascencia She was so obsessed with the gold and first place that she got hell for herself. She had completely forgot about her real position there: a world-wide recognized gymnast, admired by millions. With youth often comes inmaturity.
+Frank “N” Stein Seems like hatred of second place is pretty common especially in Russian gymnasts. The Soviet coaches probably hammered that mindset into their gymnasts.
also can Komova stop sulking? good lord. I know it's upsetting to work so hard and come up short, but if you compete long enough, you should learn how to handle disappointment more gracefully. especially when her team mate won, she didn't even look up to congratulate her.
@@cyborg_sirenLol that dismount definitely incurred a 3 tenth deduction, if you add that onto her score, then she receives a score higher than the gold winner, Mustafina.
C'mon Komova. I feel so sorry for you because you would've gotten the gold otherwise and you were the one I've been wanting to win so that took a piece out of me but at least show some joy and support for your teammate who just won the gold and is rejoicing.
***** I was talking about at that moment. She had every right to be disappointed after her routine, but c'mon, she was second to go but up until the end she was still sulking with her head down and did not once look her own teammate.
Her gymnastics are so beautiful. She just had an issue preforming under pressure. She is notrious for qualifying first but finishing out of medal contention. She would of really benefited from a sports therapist or something.
Lol its the Olympics, they're really nervous, representing their country, they probably are also replaying every mistake they've made previous to this performance.
The stress should be on TA, not FI. But, I mean... it's probably more comfortable for english speakers to stress second to last syllable, so it's fine.
Mustafina's routine was 'safe'. But she did execute it beautifully. Sometimes a win doesn't come from taking big risks, or from doing something spectacular. Sometimes being 'safe' but nailing it is the right choice.
No, it really wasn't safe at all lol. Those pirouettes and transitions are extremely difficult. That's the thing, those are extremely difficult skills and she connects them all. They just seem more "safe" because she makes it look effortless. It just seems more "safe" because she has less high flying releases, but trust me when I say that nobody and I mean nobody could do all of those skills in combination and as cleanly as Mustafina did.
Aliya Mustafina may have seemed to take this gold "accidentally" during this time, but she solidified her sky-high and out-of-the-world standard by defending her gold medal in 2016, becoming the only undisputed double Olympic UB champion! She'll forever be the definition of world class gymnastics!
@@JB-sg1vy In your disrespectful opinion LMAO! What a joke! She has been winning in international competitions since she was 13 and competed for over 12 years, so sorry that she didn't ask for your permission before her retirement, you freak! She became a mother and chose to be one, so the only blimp and a disrespectful jealous person is you! What an insecure creep!
This coverage is much better than the NBC one. Got Shannon Miller AKA the greatest American gymnast of all time and her wonderful voice, kind words for all competitors and firm expertise. And IDK the guy but he sounds nice. They're a lot better than the crusty kids over at NBC lol some washed up Canadian gymnasts badmouthing the Russians 24/7
Are you stupid? Theres no Canadian commentators at NBC for gymnastics theres sandra bezic but she's does commentary for figure skating. Get your facts strait.

I live in America so I'm always rooting for the USA team but I kinda want Beth Tweddle to come to the olympics one year and smash everyone on uneven bars
I love how Beth is so positive, she doesn't cry if she doesn't win or if she makes a mistake, unlike Komova who makes a tiny mistake and cries or is really annoyed
Beth is a lot older. This was her third Olympics and she was looking at retiring. Plus British gymnastics is far less competitive than Russian gymnastics. A poor showing and she'd still be on the tea. A poor showing from Komova and they have lots of girls willing to replace her. Plus, Beth might have a little bit more sponsorship money for winning. For the Russian girls, where sport is state sponsored, it can mean the difference between the government buying you a house and supporting you for life, or you being blacklisted.
This is one of my favorite UB finals to rewatch. Everyone is invested and the routines were exciting even if they didn’t get into the medals. And the DEF! I love Seitz.
I find it very interesting how the other gymnasts are able to be so supportive of the others even if they loose its shows that they aren’t sore losers!
In my opinion, He Kexin should have been first, Beth second (should have been first if it weren't for that little step), and Aliya third. It's probably that He Kexin went first that her score was like that. But I agree, the British commentary is soooo much better. I watched the 2008 American commentary, and the guy kept saying how the gymnasts didn't deserve their score.
Vixey Fang Completely agreed! I really don't like how they score these things. It seems like the person who goes first always ends up getting lower, just because they went first. If I was out there I would want to be one of the last to go for that very purpose.
Vixey Fang I am not so sure that this is the British commentators, it´s definetly no nbc or bbc commentators. But the woman is Shannon Miller from the USA, such a lovely commentator. So anyone knows which broadcast this really is? Anyone an idea who the man is?
+Vixey Fang Tweddle didn't have a 'little' step on the dismount. She staggered backwards and almost sat it down. I love Beth but lets not judge the dismount or her score with rose colored glasses.
Elisabeth Seitz has always had ridiculously difficult routines that just haven't played to the code of points well. This was definitely the hardest and riskiest routine being done in the world despite the code disagreeing
Who are these commentators? They both sound very nice and warm, and the woman is especially soft spoken and sweet. Most importantly, they are mostly very positive, encouraging, and not critical, and seem fair regardless of the gymnast's country origin. Overall a soothing experience to follow their voices. I found them way better than the NBC crew of Tim Dagget et al. who are literally exacerbating.

I think Yao Jinnan was underscored. Just personally
ikr... she looked like she was just dancing, so effortless but wonderful.
Ikr! And her landing was amazing!
Thought the same...and Mustafina overscored
No, she messed up on a couple little things - just slight deductions, but enough to bring her down a bit. It was a beautiful routine, though.
Turns were amazing but her release was just OK.
I really love these commentors. Enjoy watching again and again
Aliya's routine may have been "boring", but it was technically perfect. Very clean cut, and that's what the judges look for.
She moves from one skill to another without 'empty swings' in between. Turns and pirouettes are also skills, so that combined with the releasemoves makes a difficult routine. She has very good form, she ends all the turns in a handstandposition. And then of course the stuck landing. So she has a difficult routine and a great execution, which explains the gold medal.
Boring, no artistry in today’s gymnastics
Emily P When you connect turns and pirouettes to releases, if you’re off in a pirouette, then you can’t adjust before the release. Bigger risk = bigger potential for reward.
Chevy Girl how can you be artistic on the uneven bars? Also Aliya may not have an connected release moves but she connected them to pirouettes which also give her bonus points plus her execution.
Who said Aliya's routine is boring? I think she looks the most effortless, like she's flying from skill to skill while everyone else looks labored.
The thing you gotta love about Beth Tweddle is that after Mustafina got her score, she smiles and claps for her; even though you can tell she’s nervous about not medaling.

Komova had all the makings of an Olympic AA champion but I think she was her own worst enemy sometimes. She didn't seem to be mentally or emotionally in the right place to be able to handle the pressure. I get it, I know I would be the same way.
@@nikkikennedy8728 I agree, when Beth did those turns on the bar, you can pick up many deductions.
the second girl looked so disappointed, she did amazing!
Ikr? Imagine training your whole life for this, then on the day you make a rookie mistake? Poor girl
Komova?
She hit the bar, with her toes, so that's a deduction
She hit the bar with her toes and stepped out on her landing. Those are deductions. Her routine was awesome. She did it beautifully. But they beat themselves up for little mistakes because the judges will nail you to the wall for them.
She was definitely more graceful then the first one
He Kexin is simply amazing!!!

how does one get a job as one of the sign holders? xD
They are likely volunteers from the host city/country.
xD
I need the same type of job... or at least sth similar 😃🤣🤣🤣
As the anything at this point!!
* In the guy of SpongeBob voice *
*3 years later*
Tweedle by far had the coolest routine. If she would have stuck the landing I think she should have gotten 1st.
This is irrelevant but I love the pink arena, it's too cute! ^-^
that make no sense but hey, your opinion :) xD
+AfterMyReawakening she is saying that she likes the colour of the arena
but I don't get, it why should you talk about the area from a sport event xD but hey thats just me
I just realized it is kinda cute tbh
+AfterMyReawakening because no one wants to compete in a horrible arena
Poor Komova. It seemed like these Olympics were filled with disappointment for her.
because she made it that way. She should learn a lot from Aliya.
I didn't understand what happend to her??
So she qualified first in the all-around at 2011 worlds, but Jordyn Wieber beat her for gold by .033 and she was pretty crushed
She came back these 2012 olympics with high hopes for AA gold and qualified first again. But in finals she had a bad vault landing. She performed the floor routine of her life and thought she might have made up for it, but nope. She cried and it was broadcast to the entire world.
She had a great shot at a UB medal here and performed a stellar routine, except her foot hit the low bar and she was knocked out of the medals.
Once it was time for BB final it looked like she was just exhausted and had given up, I think she fell twice.
She was clearly capable of a lot and could have been great, but just did not perform at the most important moments. But hey, she's coming back to competition next month.
Fun Facts she is back now and looks like she has a much improved attitude

I love how the Chinese gymnasts were smiling the whole time, even when she dropped into 3rd she continued to smile
❤
He kexin is a legend
Elizabeth Tweddle's performance was the best in my opinion (although I don't know much about gymnastics form). I think its great she won her first medal in her home country!
Yeah, her routine was awesome. Her dismount cost her though. If she was consistent throughout she would have won.
Same..she should’ve won
I don’t care who won, but I’m just glad tweddle got something. After sticking with such difficult and unique skills for forever, she finally got some tangible reward for it. I highly admire gymnasts who go for entertaining routines (Kexin, Steiz, and Tweddle) over safe ones as a viewer (2016 bars was mundane, so, so mundane, esp. in comparison to 2012). Of course, score-wise, that doesn’t matter, but I don’t care about scores as a viewer lol.
Yea exactly, you don’t know much about gymnastics form. Aliya was superior, she had the same difficulty, she executed all her skills the best and has a lightness about her that Kexin and Tweddle don’t. She also managed to stick her dismount. She was spectacular that night.
The crowd when a gymnast is representing Great Britain 🤩 I absolutely love when gymnasts are competing in their home country.
Aliya Mustafina's routine was extremely difficult and technically perfect. Of course she deserved to win, so shut up all the haters out there. He Kexin's routine was only .1 more difficult, and had multiple visual errors. Yes she deserved to medal, but not gold.
Se31298
Time to become an Olympic judge instead of a youtube judge.
I guess commentators nowadays think they do a better scoring than qualified judges nowadays.
Allen Clw I don't even understand what you're trying to get at. You're criticizing me for defending Mustafina in a comment section full of hate towards her?
+Se31298 ITA. Kexin and Tweddle had the big combo moves but both made mistakes - Tweddle with her dismount - she almost sat it down - and Kexin with her multiple leg separations. The best gymnast won and I'm glad the judges scored it correctly.
+Tree Hugger Hi all. I don't know how Aliya's D score was arrived. I don't know why it's also at 7.0, same with He Ke Xin and Beth Tweddle.
+terrific1290 It's a simple math equation. Skills on bars are rated from A-G and count towards the difficultly score .1-.7 respectively. These skills come in the form of pirouettes and releases. When connected together they also get addition tenths of connection value. Together those skills with the composition requirements totaling 2.5 creates the difficulty score. Tweddle, Komova, and Mustafina had D scores of 7.0 and Kexin 7.1. Since Mustafina had the highest E score by far, she won gold.
I love gymnastics I'm always watching vids from the Olympics😀😀😀😀
+Taylor Harris Same
mr too
Im in junior Olympic gymnastics
😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💥
taylorruth /=-%^
I'm 45 and I miss gymnastics and the uneven bars so much, I feel like growing out of it that I lost a piece of my heart forever
I can lie in my bed perfectly. I'm the best in Gymnastics.
now THAT should win the olympics 😎😎
Oh yeah well I can do a forward roll AND do a cartwheel IM GOOD AT GYMNASTICS HEHE
Yep! Then more people will participate as professional bed liers
Lol I actually do gymnastics but I'm also pretty good at lying in bed lol
unhøly I can do a cartwheel a split a front roll a front flip a handstand a split handstand
Loved the London Olympics atmosphere, they actually give a loud cheer for each DIFFERENT country ...not just the host
The commentators are critical enough but also kind and positive. I like them.
I feel so sorry for Komova it was her last chance and she had a really good chance of getting the gold - she would've scored 16.166 and come out on top.
Do you think she'll be at Rio? I'd love for her to come out, be incredible again and do herself proud!
RainbowCharms58 I'm hoping so and I'm pretty sure.
***** Actually, she's completely not solid on the beam.
Just wish she stay positive and have good attitude :-) support her own team and be happy for others
#(Bits inbetween #'s are the edited bits!)# I don't want to disappoint you RainbowCharms58 but there is a bad disease going on at Brazil and if athletes go there, they could catch it, go back to there home country and spread it there.# And as a result of this, there might not be Rió 2016 Olympics# (This is not proven correct, however, this is a possibility)
i hate the people on the sidelines who are like COME ON COME ON YOU GOT IT... I'd be like PLEASE SHUT UP AND LET ME DO MY THING
Disgust101 Yeah of course, I know. I was a performer too. It would just get kind of annoying and distracting when people were shouting things from the sidelines.
For me if I were doing an Olympic final like the bars, I'd want that support. No matter how loud they are. I'd get anxiety if they weren't Cheering me on.
If you listen they are saying things to help her and it's just better when people cheer you on in routines
Harrison Green In your opinion, yes.
I know I'd get distracted, other sports its great but i feel like gymnastics where you're concentrating on EVERYTHING it would get on my nerves
I was watching Olga Korbut and thinking nothing and no one has ever been as amazing as her. She was just a MONSTER on the bars.
I honestly think it's extremely sweet that these competitors are very nice with one another, like when Aliya finished her routine and Beth congratulated her. That kind of attitude makes me happy. Although I would get the sadness as well.
Poor Komova, I feel like the Olympics were nothing but heartbreak for her.
2 silver Olympic medals is a lot of to be proud of
+mrsjojo xoxo yes 2 silvers are a lot to be proud of, but for someone like Komova who's a perfectionist, it's disappointing. I think most of the heartbreak the person above was taking about came from the event finals especially.
Beam final:fell off and sat down her dismount
bar final:hit her feet on the low bar which is super uncharacteristic for her, and she definitely would have medaled without it. And ya Russia did get the silver for the TF, but it's not like they all hit routines, but just didn't have enough difficulty, the whole team sadly just fell apart pretty much. I hope Komova makes it to Río and can have a more successful games!
+Marcela Plascencia She was so obsessed with the gold and first place that she got hell for herself. She had completely forgot about her real position there: a world-wide recognized gymnast, admired by millions. With youth often comes inmaturity.
+Marcela Plascencia To come in 2nd place not once but twice is definitely disappointing. No worse place than 2nd
+Frank “N” Stein Seems like hatred of second place is pretty common especially in Russian gymnasts. The Soviet coaches probably hammered that mindset into their gymnasts.
i love hearing the teammates cheering in all different languages :)
also can Komova stop sulking? good lord. I know it's upsetting to work so hard and come up short, but if you compete long enough, you should learn how to handle disappointment more gracefully. especially when her team mate won, she didn't even look up to congratulate her.
I'm a fan from Komova, but you're right...
komova did congratulate aliya. you got a point, I give you that but try to search a little bit better.
I'm a huge Komova fan but u r so right
What really sucks is that had Komova won, Aliya still would've been super happy and excited for her.. :/
She was hugging Aliya from 22:09 to 22:14
Had Tweddle stuck to landing she would get the gold for sure.
They explained, even without the deduction, she still would have come short. 🤷♀️
AJ Tridento they said those were 1 tenth steps but I think we all know they were 3 tenth steps I think they were just trying to be hopeful
@@cyborg_sirenLol that dismount definitely incurred a 3 tenth deduction, if you add that onto her score, then she receives a score higher than the gold winner, Mustafina.
I agree other than that she was amazing
Really ? I don't think so. She es good...but there were more better than her. SURE !!
2016 and i'm still watching this, i love Mustafina
Manila Arce 2019
I‘d be really upset if the 2020 missed here so here is the yearly comment: 2020
well Mustafina does not love you as much as she loves FOOD!!! She is HUGE now!!! Heffer
Yao jinan had the cleanest routine and the best form.... Not sure why her execution score wasn't a bit higher
3748359 Lack of amplitude on her release skills is why.
he kexin is an absolute breath of fresh air
Aliya Mustafina, the prettiest face in the arena!
I disagree
+Harlee Unicorn me too
+Harlee Unicorn there is not a prettier gymnast in gymnastics, deal with it!
+Jackie M Gabby is wayyyyy prettier but I respect your opinion
+Harlee Unicorn yeah, gabby douglas is prettier and look more stunning ..
Beth tweddle is just phenomenal.
Beth Tweddle is a legend and a great sportswoman. So happy to see her prevail here.
Не побеждает, а становится призёром.
Так как олимпиада домашняя, то ей 3-е место подарили - на приземлении много нашагала!
He Kexin is so cute tho
ikr he kexin in 2008 is really super adorablee
Shut up
+Owami Mlandu you shut up
I k R
phim quo a tanga tinh you
I can only imagine the amount of strain this event puts on the shoulders of the athletes! The dedication is insane, much respect for all gymnasts.
They usually get their shoulders removed later in life
Am I the only one who thought it was so cute when Jinnan hugged everyone after her perfect landing? She looked so happy!
C'mon Komova. I feel so sorry for you because you would've gotten the gold otherwise and you were the one I've been wanting to win so that took a piece out of me but at least show some joy and support for your teammate who just won the gold and is rejoicing.
Ikr
Attitude :-(
well she was probably really mad at herself lol
I KNOW! HORRIBLE sports(wo)manship. she should be ashamed of herself.
***** I was talking about at that moment. She had every right to be disappointed after her routine, but c'mon, she was second to go but up until the end she was still sulking with her head down and did not once look her own teammate.
I feel bad for Komova when all the coaches were congratulating Mustafina she literally sat on the bench looking down.
Her gymnastics are so beautiful. She just had an issue preforming under pressure. She is notrious for qualifying first but finishing out of medal contention. She would of really benefited from a sports therapist or something.
@@ericarichards8350 i gree, did she quit gymnastics?
@@liliana161922 no she competed for a while after but retired last year
It’s funny how they smile when there name gets called and straight after that they go back to being grumpy 😂😂😂
Lol its the Olympics, they're really nervous, representing their country, they probably are also replaying every mistake they've made previous to this performance.
It's called focus.
Aliya Mustafina very beautiful!
Yep she is but they kept on pronouncing her name wrong
+josephine phillips how do you pronounce it correctly? Id Love to know!
The stress should be on TA, not FI.
But, I mean... it's probably more comfortable for english speakers to stress second to last syllable, so it's fine.
Caked in makeup
If you
Mustafina's routine was 'safe'. But she did execute it beautifully. Sometimes a win doesn't come from taking big risks, or from doing something spectacular. Sometimes being 'safe' but nailing it is the right choice.
No, it really wasn't safe at all lol. Those pirouettes and transitions are extremely difficult. That's the thing, those are extremely difficult skills and she connects them all. They just seem more "safe" because she makes it look effortless. It just seems more "safe" because she has less high flying releases, but trust me when I say that nobody and I mean nobody could do all of those skills in combination and as cleanly as Mustafina did.
Andrew very accurate!
She sure doesn't EAT safe anymore that is fo sho!!!! Snort
Aliya Mustafina may have seemed to take this gold "accidentally" during this time, but she solidified her sky-high and out-of-the-world standard by defending her gold medal in 2016, becoming the only undisputed double Olympic UB champion! She'll forever be the definition of world class gymnastics!
and then she turned into the goodyear blimp shortly after... Moo
@@JB-sg1vy In your disrespectful opinion LMAO! What a joke! She has been winning in international competitions since she was 13 and competed for over 12 years, so sorry that she didn't ask for your permission before her retirement, you freak! She became a mother and chose to be one, so the only blimp and a disrespectful jealous person is you! What an insecure creep!

TheGymnastic101 thanks！
This coverage is much better than the NBC one. Got Shannon Miller AKA the greatest American gymnast of all time and her wonderful voice, kind words for all competitors and firm expertise. And IDK the guy but he sounds nice. They're a lot better than the crusty kids over at NBC lol some washed up Canadian gymnasts badmouthing the Russians 24/7
Are you stupid? Theres no Canadian commentators at NBC for gymnastics theres sandra bezic but she's does commentary for figure skating. Get your facts strait.

I love Shannon Miller as a commentator! Put her on NBC!
Elizabeth Seitz did an amazing performance. So energetic and exciting.
I live in America so I'm always rooting for the USA team but I kinda want Beth Tweddle to come to the olympics one year and smash everyone on uneven bars
She was awesome! Pretty sad she got 3rd instead of 1st I thought. Although she was the one who landed funny which put her lower. :/
True, but it was my favorite one to watch overall. :)
Im pretty sure shes retired now but shes pretty incredible anyway
I think she's just as happy with the bronze. Soon happy for her.
+Faye Nicole (Fayenicolex) Yeah she is incredible too bad she's retired, though.
It's my first time watching this and I'm tearing up, the girls are amazing
Kexin, Mustafina and Jinnan were just in their own world for this final, really incredible
and what world is this that you speak of?
I love how Beth is so positive, she doesn't cry if she doesn't win or if she makes a mistake, unlike Komova who makes a tiny mistake and cries or is really annoyed
Different gymnasts have different reactions to mistakes.
А что ей плакать - она уверена, что на домашней олимпиаде ей помогут. Помогли! С таким приземлением стать призёром? Это несправедливо.
Beth is a lot older. This was her third Olympics and she was looking at retiring. Plus British gymnastics is far less competitive than Russian gymnastics. A poor showing and she'd still be on the tea. A poor showing from Komova and they have lots of girls willing to replace her. Plus, Beth might have a little bit more sponsorship money for winning. For the Russian girls, where sport is state sponsored, it can mean the difference between the government buying you a house and supporting you for life, or you being blacklisted.
He Kexin is the only Chinese female gymnast ever to medal on the same apparatuses at consecutive olympics! incredible and legendary UB gymnast
I admire these girls so much. Just imagine what they are feeling when they saw their ranks going down.
Mustafina is so cute and such an elegant gymnast.
not anymore.... she is a total cow now

This is one of my favorite UB finals to rewatch. Everyone is invested and the routines were exciting even if they didn’t get into the medals. And the DEF! I love Seitz.
I find it very interesting how the other gymnasts are able to be so supportive of the others even if they loose its shows that they aren’t sore losers!
they are prolly sore tho from them difficult routines!
I Liked Elisabeth Seitz
Aliya QUEEN Mustafina 👏👏👏👑👑👑❤❤❤
and now she Kween of the dessert table.... MOO

and she loves food!!!!!
I would have placed
He Kexin 1st

Aliya Mustafina 3rd
Megha P. Agreed! It was lame that Beth Tweddle got 3rd just because of a bad landing. Seriously lame!
Just it was a joke, sorry
Megha P.
I wish it was
He Kexin 1st
Yao Jinnan 2nd
Aliya Mustafina 3rd
Mustafina wins :3
You clearly cannot be a judge
Off topic but I love the color scheme of the 2012 Olympics…. Just looks amazing.
In my opinion, He Kexin should have been first, Beth second (should have been first if it weren't for that little step), and Aliya third. It's probably that He Kexin went first that her score was like that. But I agree, the British commentary is soooo much better. I watched the 2008 American commentary, and the guy kept saying how the gymnasts didn't deserve their score.
Vixey Fang Completely agreed! I really don't like how they score these things. It seems like the person who goes first always ends up getting lower, just because they went first. If I was out there I would want to be one of the last to go for that very purpose.
It was so embarrassing during the UB medal ceremony.
Vixey Fang I am not so sure that this is the British commentators, it´s definetly no nbc or bbc commentators. But the woman is Shannon Miller from the USA, such a lovely commentator. So anyone knows which broadcast this really is? Anyone an idea who the man is?
+Vixey Fang Tweddle didn't have a 'little' step on the dismount. She staggered backwards and almost sat it down. I love Beth but lets not judge the dismount or her score with rose colored glasses.
@@KseniaSemenovaFan He is sports commentator Greg Blewett from the Seven Network, Australia. He is well-known here in Australia.
