Her form on literally every element is perfection. Even her handsprings look flawless. I honestly can't think of a single gymnast with better execution
Her tumblings are really really great, with good form in the air. But there are rooms for improvement for her dance elements, especially the switch ring. Still, I think she deserves to be included in the olympic team
Her form during the twists of her second tumbling pass are perfection. It just makes me even more annoyed at the terrible twisting form of most of the top gymnasts today.
I wonder how far she could have go in the 10 scoring system... Everything she does is so perfect, even if she doesn't have the biggest difficulties... Love her, and that floor routine attracts me at least once a month...
the judges had it out for her for some reason. Not enough difficulty or some crap. it makes no sense, she is exquisite and should be rewarded for her unbelievable position in the air. you can press pause at any moment in this routine and its a spectacular picture.
And she had a low landing on the double pike just like the chinese!! She even looks like one. Her twisting form on the 2.5 twist was perfection. Legs also feet not crossed, very impressive. Her double front >>>>>>>> Nastia’s 🤢
Well she got a 9.300 which was pretty generous (and typical for a domestic meet). The Popa was pointless and didn't help her any, but that's GAGE for you. Small squat on the double front landing, low double pike, big step forward, uncontrolled third pass, and an Armine switch ring full of deductions. These are just the obvious issues.
Best double front in the history of women's gymnastics. If not men's too. I love her ending pose too. The other elite girls must've been like, "Why does she only have four tumbling passes, we have fifteen!"
This girl is one to watch! She has amazing grace and also those legs were completely stuck together in all twists and somersaults. This routine is one of the best i have ever seen. Go Ivana x x
@NamiKage1 She competed at the 2009 Worlds and won a bronze medal on beam. She was injured shortly after and could not compete in the 2010 season. She is now moving onto gymnastics at Stanford.
This routine was much entertaining and fun than the one she had in 2009! This one is so....alive,and the end is the most interesting part of the routine! The tumbling wasn't bad at all,i really loved her double front,amazing form :) Ivana,please take back this routine!!!! :D
Legs totally glued together in tuck, legs not crossed over while doing twists, brutal power and execution , extraordinary ending pose. Why don't we have gymnasts like this anymore?
Nowadays even the GAGE gymnasts don't have that perfect form like they used to anymore. Take Leanne Wong for example, you can see her feet crossing quite significantly when she twists. Their form overall is still great, but not perfect like previous gymnasts were, like it no longer has that wow factor
Her double front may have textbook form but she lands quite low and her chest is down. On the other hand, nastia liukin's double front is extremely cowboyed but her chest is up while she lands...
+henryxhernandez She didn't have any standout event.Even though she is clean and consistent on all 4 events, Nastia and Shawn easily surpasses her score wise in the AA. She didn't have the difficulty in her routines, her fx score is decent. Shawn Johnson's fx was scoring in the 16's and Nastia's fx score was hovering right below the 16 mark. Ivana is doing NCAA now.
@willsbob123 she really has improved since 08. she got 2nd at last years nationals and was able to pull off a bronze on BB at the 2009 worlds. her consistency is up 100%. :)
@XxSportyMusicGirlxX Lack of difficulty could be to blame. I'm thinking being so deep on and stumbling on her double pike hurt her too. Hop on her forward twisting series was pretty big too.
..'or some crap?' Difficulty is EXTREMELY important. Her lines and form ARE amazing and nobody gets anything close to her double front but most of her landings are very low and she can't fall back on high difficulty.
the gage girls' form is so good it's unbelievable well not terin humphrey's but anyway btw i love how when they land the chalk on the floor kinda flies
completely agree... she is one of the most polished floor workers the us has seen this cycle, she could easily have replaced sacramone on the floor and helped the us instead of hindered...
WOW THAT DOUBLE FRONT
whoever choreographed that routine was fantastic
Toes pointed leg not crossed and no cowboying omg such good form
Her form on literally every element is perfection. Even her handsprings look flawless. I honestly can't think of a single gymnast with better execution
rhysopher Courtney McCool, Lilia Podkopayeva
211UKRjump I wouldn’t say either one had BETTER execution. Ivana was just so pretty to watch.
Her tumblings are really really great, with good form in the air. But there are rooms for improvement for her dance elements, especially the switch ring. Still, I think she deserves to be included in the olympic team
I guess even with what she went through in GAGE, it helped her form to be perfect in a way, which kinda makes her stand out in terms of technique
Aliya Mustafina of course
Her form during the twists of her second tumbling pass are perfection. It just makes me even more annoyed at the terrible twisting form of most of the top gymnasts today.
Yes! For the love of God! Gymnasts aren't being deducted correctly when it comes to form imo. Hers is perfect.
Double front tuck. Best ever performed in competition.
Her twisting is textbook. Pure perfection
I wonder how far she could have go in the 10 scoring system... Everything she does is so perfect, even if she doesn't have the biggest difficulties... Love her, and that floor routine attracts me at least once a month...
Yeah I was think the same thing. If This was just 4 years before..... Bye bye Ponor's gold on FX.
You mean her gold when she took like a 4-foot lunch out of every tumbling pass?
@@PhenixJoe
0:18
0:30
1:17
No lunge at all on 3 out of her 4 passes
@@nathan10120 I think they're talking about Ponor.
She’d score really well under the current system and it’s extremely harsh execution scores.
that first pass was fire. never seen it done better
Now that's the way a double front should look. So closed and tight, no straddling at all! perfect!
the judges had it out for her for some reason. Not enough difficulty or some crap. it makes no sense, she is exquisite and should be rewarded for her unbelievable position in the air. you can press pause at any moment in this routine and its a spectacular picture.
Wao her first pass was incredible !
I always find myself coming back to this video
That double front is FLAWLESS! I'm amazed every time I see it. Ivana is amazing.
Will we ever see a double front executed this well in WAG? I think not...
Really refreshing to see a gymnast tumble to some slow, contemporary music. Hearing the same overly peppy, fast pace music gets boring.
her tuck is so perfect in her double front.
she looks like and performs like chinese gymnast..her lines and and landings..amazing..
And she had a low landing on the double pike just like the chinese!! She even looks like one. Her twisting form on the 2.5 twist was perfection. Legs also feet not crossed, very impressive. Her double front >>>>>>>> Nastia’s 🤢
The double front was AMAZING!! Toes pointed legs together. Better than Nastia Liukin's.
As everyone else said... Why the hell was that only scored 15.3?!?
Stunning routine.
Well she got a 9.300 which was pretty generous (and typical for a domestic meet). The Popa was pointless and didn't help her any, but that's GAGE for you.

Love her, really wish she made the team
She really deserved that last spot over Sloan.
Best double front in the history of women's gymnastics. If not men's too. I love her ending pose too. The other elite girls must've been like, "Why does she only have four tumbling passes, we have fifteen!"
Its years ago now but I had forgotten what beautiful form she always had. Amazing!
look at her lines just beautiful!!!!!!! clean dance and tubling and her legs are glued the hole time[love u IVANNA ]
she's AMAZING her landings are perfect and her finishing possision was great!
SO PERFECT! Love Ivana! Miss her...
This will forever be my favorite floor routine.
This girl is one to watch! She has amazing grace and also those legs were completely stuck together in all twists and somersaults. This routine is one of the best i have ever seen.
Go Ivana x x
GAGE routines are so set apart from the rest of the field in the US
I love her dance sequence in the middle! She has such great flexibility and it looks so fluid.
PERFEECT , she such a beautiful gymnast!
Seriously one of my favorite gymnasts.
Her legs are glued together all the time. So beautiful
One of the best technicians ever! Except for her switch ring. Surprised how... bad... It is with all her flexibility.
all of this on a BROKEN FOOT.
@NamiKage1 She competed at the 2009 Worlds and won a bronze medal on beam. She was injured shortly after and could not compete in the 2010 season. She is now moving onto gymnastics at Stanford.

The tumbling wasn't bad at all,i really loved her double front,amazing form :)
Ivana,please take back this routine!!!! :D
Love her artistry and power I try to be like that

I love gymnastics
impeccable forms on the tumbling, legs together all the way!
I love her artistry. I would have liked to see her TOPS Testing. I bet she was great!
Going back to this video, just remembering she competed on a fractured ankle! wow
What?!?That's nuts
Legendary form!
Exercícios muito bem feitos
And she did this all on a fractured ankle. That's crazy!!
The double front was AMAZING!! Toes pointed legs together.
Ive never seen anyone tumble like that!
Her double front may have textbook form but she lands quite low and her chest is down. On the other hand, nastia liukin's double front is extremely cowboyed but her chest is up while she lands...
THIS you got the point.... :)
Wow. SO CLEAN.
Oh. My. Gosh. Her form is so perfect it's not even funny. How does she twist so beautifully????????????????
This reminds me of a great routine from the 80's with the dance and the tumbling
Queen of form! Kweeeeeeen!
how did she not make the team
+henryxhernandez She didn't have any standout event.Even though she is clean and consistent on all 4 events, Nastia and Shawn easily surpasses her score wise in the AA.

i love ivana's double double i miss it too :(
@Gr33nkiwi then why don't you tell us all where her deductions came from?:)
Beautiful form. :)
her double front is so much better than Nastia's ! love ivana
@willsbob123 she really has improved since 08. she got 2nd at last years nationals and was able to pull off a bronze on BB at the 2009 worlds. her consistency is up 100%. :)
Wow!!! Her form
omg formmmm and the last skill❤❤❤❤
wow this is amazing :o
Great passes, stuck some landings, awesome choreography, delivered technically, but I didn't feel HER through her performance.
really don't understand why she can't go to the 2008 Olympics...:/
she was underscored!!!
i have always loved her floor!!!
what song is this
Best double front in the history of women's gymnastics. If not men's too. I love her ending pose too.
Where is she now? We need perfection like this.
Look at the knees on her first pass....I am in love with her double fronts!
muy buena, me gusta mucho
First pass was stunning
That was really good!
What was the E score?
I could literally just watch her do only back handsprings and I'd be satisfied
I’ve noticed a lot of gymnastics coached by Al fong have great form.. interesting
No one has from the USA had as good as her.
"But you know, for Ivana, she's gotta be perfect."
If that wasn't perfect, what is?
The best double front !!!
I agree with you!
she is vary flex and vary good
this double front is PERFECT!!!!!!!!! brilliant execution!!!! exquicite!! besides, she stucked it!!!
wasnt her ankle fractured??
three words: legs glued together!²
The double front was AMAZING!! Toes pointed legs together. Nastia's looks a bit odd though because of her legs apart and the way she held them.
Her double front is the most beautiful I've ever seen. Textbook perfect.
@XxSportyMusicGirlxX Lack of difficulty could be to blame. I'm thinking being so deep on and stumbling on her double pike hurt her too. Hop on her forward twisting series was pretty big too.
gosh i love her ending pose!!!
Why was she not on the 2008 or 2012 Olympic teams?
Maybe injuries
I think she nailed this routine.
..'or some crap?' Difficulty is EXTREMELY important. Her lines and form ARE amazing and nobody gets anything close to her double front but most of her landings are very low and she can't fall back on high difficulty.
by the way i love her final position :)
It's like someone glued her legs together when she does her twists....insane.
@Butterfngrbart - Really?! I love the music!
she is vary flex and vary good [2]
nice!!!
thats incredible! it was perfect! XD
why didn't she go to beijing?
wow¡¡¡¡ super technique
WOW The first pass!
So the judges took .7 off of her score....all I can see is .4 (and that's harshly for me)
That routines was PERFECT
the gage girls' form is so good it's unbelievable
well not terin humphrey's but anyway
btw i love how when they land the chalk on the floor kinda flies
This routine scoring lower than Nastia Liukin’s... I am genuinely confused.
completely agree... she is one of the most polished floor workers the us has seen this cycle, she could easily have replaced sacramone on the floor and helped the us instead of hindered...
I was watching her double front in slow motion, I think she points her toes when she's doing it. :O
