Who's the BEST gymnast ever?

Ummmm that's tough maybe Ari will be
Thank you. 😊😊
That is so much pressure for a young gymnast, since anything can happen like burn out, injuries, etc. Wish her all the best
There isn’t much pressure yet. She’s level 4.
@@edgegymnastics8409 exactly, shes level 4 and theyre talking about career its too much too soon
I was a level ten gymnast at 7
@@firecricket2807Never too young to voice your dreams, why would you place limitations on her🤷🏾♀️
Allow her to dream big, sigh….
The fact that this was posted this year and she was on level 4 and now she is level 7 is a huge jump in a small time slot
She's so pretty and well spoken for a 7 year old . Ari i wish you the best and i will be watching you one day at the OLIMPICS. Great coaching staff and great parents . Let's go ARI ! ❤
What a talented little doll, hopefully her parents watch what they say around her at such a young age. I know they SAY they let her be a kid, but all that talk about a career, and sacrifices, and winning is A LOT for a 7 year old.
If that's what she wants to do and wants to aim for, then good for her for working so hard. ❤️
I don't know if she can be an elite gymnast and if she has olympic or world class potential. She is good but needs to learn a lot of skills. I think she could be good for local competitions and college gymnastics. We will see. How many years does it take to determine if a child can have great talent and be an olympic level athlete??
@@arf2847 A lot of gymnasts start as a child. Who says she can't.
Take it from a former dancer/gymnast, just because your child has the energy to go with no days off, her body does not. In her 40’s and 50’s she will need hip and knee replacements. And for the Olympics, if she gets injured once too close to the Olympic Trials and Games, she’s out. And there are 1000’s of gymnasts waiting for her to get hurt so they can go in her place. And it depends on what the team needs. If she’s amazing at one event but so are the other gymnasts she won’t get a spot unless she’s an all around. And that’s IF she gets to elite. Being stratospherically amazing at 7 doesn’t mean she still will be at 16. Kids will catch up to her. I know it’s harsh but that’s the reality of it. And even if she does beat all odds, what happened to don’t forget Zmeskal. Fell off the beam 10 seconds in and won nothing. She was the golden girl. Have her in gymnastics to be her best. Don’t count on the Olympics or college gymnastics.And look up Mary Lou Retton. Could barely get up and down stairs without getting knees and hips replaced. This isn’t a kid problem, it’s a parent problem. If you love your child, DON’T do this to her. She isn’t old enough to to understand the gravity of the situation. Just because you want your kid to be number one, doesn’t mean you should allow her to do it at any cost.
You literally such a hater dont be jealous that she will probably reach the olympics
@@GlitterGaming-ne5pwyou are clearly a child but it’s okay. one day you will realize what it’s like to be a retired gymnast
Well... she points her toes during her skills, so that is impressive at her age. Very important to drill that one into the psyche at the earliest time possible so that it is an instinctual position. Looking forward to following her in the upcoming years!
No she doesn’t 😂
I love that the parents are making sure that she enjoys her childhood along with the practicing 😄
The fact that her parents moved her at the age of 4 for her gymnastic career is crazy. Most don’t move to a well known gym until they are on avg 13 and even then most of them can peak way too soon. She is going to peak too early and/or be rattled with injuries by the time she hits her preteen/. 7 is way too early to commit to a gymnastic career. For example, I believe Simone biles was 6 when she started
I think her parents just want to provide a better gym environment for her to train in since in the Bahamas most likely don't have the proper equipment/ Coaching that can take her to the elite level. Brandy Johnson's Gymnastics is mainly for level 10 and trained only 1 notable elite gymnast which was Sydney Johnson-Scharf ( the daughter of Brandy Johnson). Ariana can stay there to develop her foundational skills and later on in the future if possible she can move to other gyms if she really want to get to the olympic/world champ level
Me
@@VIPShirlee03 i did the same thing
yeah, almost all the famous juniors peak and burn out before ever making it to seniors
Yea like Emma Rester she was a great gymnast but she quit when she was 7 you never know with kids you know one day Ari could just be
Like hmm mom can I quit gymnastics it’s unlikely but it’s true she could very well one day do that I can think of so many amazing gymnast who quit bc of pressure or injuries.
I wish her nothing but the best! Go, Ari go!
I like the fact that the parents are remembering she also needs to be just a kid.
what a queen! i can definitely see her winning gold at the olympics one day 😁
As a parent.... please run when people tell you your child is special in youth sports. Let the scores show for themselves not the money grab coaches. At level 4 you should not be training elite regardless of how much your child wants it. If she wants to play the long game of gymnastics as a career.... let her take it slow pre puberty.
Too much pressure, burnout, injuries....
Too many fears that people are having on her behalf.
If that's wat she is enjoying at the moment. I commend the parents for giving it to her. Even if she gives it up. She would have developed the discipline many adults do not have but also enjoyed it while her heart was in love with it.
Her parents are making it as child friendly as can be for a child eyeing elite sport.
So i am rooting for her🤩
Esa niña es increíble, sin duda va a ser muy grande en lo que se proponga hacer en el futuro, tiene mucha determinación, energía y fuerza.
I hope she ends up at the Olympics one day!! Go Aria
Level 4 and training everyday of the week is a absolute no go for me. Perhaps at a elite level but even most gymnast at those levels have 1 or 2 days off every week
All the way from the Bahamas continue to excel at what you love doing her Grammy Mrs Rahming thought my son in school so I know she has a good background as far as learning is concerned congrats 👏👏👏 to you Ari keep up the good work may God continue to bless you 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you for the support. 😊
@@keepingitari you are so very welcome my dear 😊 your Grammy Mrs. Rahming is my friend she is on my WhatsApp she is a nice lady
There is no way to predict, at 7 years old, who is going to go to the Olympics or even who is going to go all the way to the Elite level. Yes, coaches can tell when gymnasts are really talented, but you can't tell whether all of the other things that have to happen along the way will fall into place. It's very concerning that her parents have already moved from one country to another to give her a chance to be that level of athlete. And it's not at all true that she can't miss a few days in the gym without falling behind! If you take two weeks off at that age, yeah, maybe there are some stretches or conditioning you should do to keep you in shape, but it's not that big of a deal, especially if it's in the off season. And that's two weeks, a few days is no problem at all. Those parents are saying they want to let her be a kid, but meanwhile they're taking it WAY too seriously for her age/level.
Happy to see a voice of reason, thank you. Such specialization at her age is not necessary nor ideal..Also any coach or parent speaking the "O" word or speaking of a " career" at this stage is a big red flag.
I really agree with you here. There are so many factors out of your control that happen between being 7 and the age/time to compete at the elite level or the Olympics. It’s good to practice and plan out a plan of action for each new level and maybe be thinking about optionals, but definitely not time to be pushing for college, elite, or the Olympics.
I agree but as long as she has fun
Absolutely. Early specialization is not recommended because it limits their athletic profile. Even teenage athletes should have rest periods between training sessions.
Totally agree, kids also need a healthy socialization and well rounded education. Free time to just explore.
Based on past history, her chances are less than the gymnast who hasn't started to shine yet. Why? Because the 'young stars' are pushed too hard, peak far too early and suffer hoards of preventable injuries, ending their careers early. Rather its the 'late' bloomers (Simone Biles being one) who are the 'stars' later on. Simone never stood out as a junior. There's been talk of putting age limits on some elite skills and I think that would be the vest thing for the spirt. Just because a young gymnst 'can' do skills with incredible difficulty, doesn't mean it's in rheir best interests too, physically. The qualifying age for the Olympics needs to be pushed up to 18, to allow female gymnasts to go through puberty, it's safer for their bones and mental well being. With "older" stronger bodies, comes better gymnastics. The 'gymnasts need to be waif to succeed' has long been debunked. Not that it ever made sense, given male gymnasts weren't waifs - strong bodies makes moves wirh more power and difficulty. And female gymnasts like Simone have proven that a thousand times over
God bless. With that kind of dedication, nothing will stop this young lady from achieving her goal.
She is going to go so far!
Thank you for the support. 😊
She is so beautiful and sweet she is going to go far with gymnastics
Thank you for the support. 😊
Future G.O.A.T 🙌😍🔥 Go Ari Go !
Thank you for the support. 😊
the future is looking bright !!!
Yes it is!
Thank you for the support. 😊
I love Nassau! she is very talented and will go far. i tried gymnastics before and i was not easily gifted in it.
Thank you for the support. 😊
@@keepingitari yes! anytime
Congratulations Ari!!!
Thank you for the support. 😊
Wonderful job little lady! YOU GOT THIS!!!!!!!
It’s good that this girl is still getting to do stuff and be a kid because a lot of kids along with their parents will stay focused on the kid being only dedicated to whatever sport they’re doing and then the kids usually then end up not going professional and then they never got to have a normal childhood and all that precious time to be a kid is wasted. This is why kids still have to be kids because you only get to be a kid once!
Hoping the parents keep it in perspective and stay away from being “helicopter parents.” Hoping she gets to be a kid also!!
being a kid is overrated.
They're already beyond "keeping it in perspective"! Literally everything they said in the video is a red flag.
@@AdeleiTeillana IKR the fact that they say she has to practice every day or else she’ll fall behind. She a level 4 at age 7 she can afford to take some days off in fact it’ll be good for her in the long run.
That's what her mom said in the video that it was important that she also be a kid at this point in her life!
What a beautiful child.
The handsprings on the beach had excellent form. Looks like she has a future.
Very talented little girl 3>
It's never too early to go for the gold. Hope you win it someday!
She’ll go very far!
Thank you for the support. 😊
WOW ARI! That’s great you are going to go far 😊keep going
Continue to do well, stay focused, stay healthy. You WILL be great
Y’all ik her personally and she was a level four when this vid was posted and she is now a level 7
My fave gymnast… Ari!😊😘😘😘 love you. Let’s go
She is a doll!
I’m a level 4 gymnast, I watch this particular video all the time.
..a VERY talented little girl. I hope she follows her dreams! 🎉
God bless her!!! ❤❤❤
Nothing is impossible and follow your dream. 😍
Amazing ❤️ Good luck and keep working hard to achieve your dreams 🍀❤️
How to get your kid to Burnout, fast 101. Great Job parents.
One word Gifted! 🥰🙏🔥
You go beautiful you, I believe you, you got this. ❤
Ari is amazingly talented ❤️
Thank you. 😊😊
Thank you for the support. 😊
ari gold
Legendary
Thank you for the support. 😊
My greatest hope for her is that she can maintain that lovely smile.
MY daughter is 12 she is a level six gymnast and she still looks up to ARI and says she’s a very very GOO GYMNAST
She seems like a good gymnast, but the fact they are already talking about the olmpyics at 7 years old as a level 4 gymnast is crazy.
Great! But she DOES need to take some days off to give her muscles and body time to recover from those intense workouts. I've seen these strenuous workouts and what happens is that the child's body wears out at too early of an age and ends up injuring themselves. This happened to my nephew whose coach wore his body out from football practice. He even made his workout on his injury one too many times which prevented his ankle from healing properly. He steered my nephew into a long-tenured injury that negatively affected him in his young adulthood. He had to take a breather from athletics and it wouldn't be until later in life that my nephew became a Navel soldier in the Special Forces in United State Navy.
Just watched for the 5th time she's amazing
Awww! Thank you for the support. 😊
All the best. Remember to have lots of FUN & ENJOY 😊..
What a sweet little girl.
No days off?! I feel sorry for her.
Gonna see her in the Olympics in the next decade no doubt
Thank you for the support. 😊
There’s no way to know that. It sets a kid up for serious disappointment to constantly say that. Do you know how many AMAZING 7-yr old gymnasts there are in the USA alone? It’s a lot of pressure. What if she wants to stop? She can’t, because she will disappoint her parents and her followers. She may grow a lot, get injured, have mental blocks, and the whole time worrying about not disappointing anyone. Can we just let her be a good gymnast without constantly saying “You’re going to the Olympics”?
see these are the videos that encourage me to try hard at gymnastics everyday!❤
Let's go Ari!
Thank you for the support. 😊
Let's go, Ari!
Thank you for the support. 😊
@@keepingitari Hi Ari!
Can we just talk about how GoRgEoUs there house is ❤❤❤
I know, right? I wonder if they're interested in adopting an old white man.
Omg I’m so happy for her she used to go to my school
I like her shirt.
what a LEGEND go Ari go!!!
Big time legend
Thank you for the support. 😊
GIVE 👏 HER 👏 DAYS 👏 OFF
This is barely veiled child labour, wth
Some complain it’s too much pressure at her age when in reality her parents are giving her a chance to be active outside of the home. Today many many children think being active is playing video games or tapping the keyboard on the phone. There’s parents who criticize she’s not getting the chance to be a young girl having fun like others her age. These parents usually fall into the category where they shove their lids into sports they hate and the parents drive it into the child they have to be diligent or they won’t make it in the world. My granddaughter started karate at 4 at 13 she told her mom she didn’t want to do it anymore so her mom just said she’s been proud of her for staying at t so long. The only rule was if you decide to try a sport she had to give it a year as you may start off not liking it but after a few months decide you do like it.
You should do one about Payton Myler.
This is a story we have all seen and heard before
Tiger Woods
Venus and Serina
Simone Biles
Why can it not be her story
Of success.
Go ARI ! ❤
Good luck baby girl .. I will be looking for you ❤❤❤
I'm 7 years old and I do gymnastics it's my favourite thing
Coming from a gymnast- being a level 4 at 7 years old is good, but it’s not, say- a prodigy. Yes she’s talented but to call her a future Olympic medalist is a bit of a stretch.
Yes I have a teammate who’s 8 and a level four which next year that’s where The girls will be. She is definitely not gonna be in Olympics
i feel really bad for a girl’s parents at my gym. they are trying to get her on track to a NCAA scholarship. she is currently 12 and on xcel silver. i feel you would need to be at LEAST platinum or diamond at 12 to be close to a scholarship. they are also dropping THOUSANDS on private lessons
No it isn't
No it isn't
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Not me just randomly clicking on this video only to find out that I know who this girlie is. She goes to gymnastics with me in 2023 and we are on the same team and level.😶😐
Wow 😮. I am only level 3 but I am fexible btw you are so good 😊 👍
Hey that’s my bestie!! Go Ari!
Awe... Hi dear heart!🥰
Thank you for the support. 😊
@@keepingitari So welcome!🙏🏾💕🥰😘
242 ALL THE WAY!!!
this inspired me so much and i am now on level 6
🥰
NDOOOO
the best
Well done I am a gymnast too😊😁😍
Definitely High Potential!
When I was seven, I just started
Xl bronze
Oh my God I am in Bahamas but one time my mom surprised me by going to Nassau gymnastics She’s a sweet little girl so confident and she’s so cool but it’s OK cause I’m going to gymnastics in August day right now it’s August 2 so yeah And I’m going to Nassau gymnastics the same thing and I believe she’s the best gymnast and that for now keep trying 😊
I hope that this girl will qualify for the Olympics next decade if she's 16 and up.
Thank you for the support. 😊
@@keepingitari, maybe in the 2032 Summer Olympics in Brisbane, when she will be 16-17 at that time of future, imagine how competitive she will be as a gymnast.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the support. 😊
I’m glad she’s having fun but it looks like they’re allowing her to be overtrained. Sadly they’re setting her up for later injuries. I hope she stays healthy and continues to have fun. Just the title of this whole series is profoundly disturbing.
isnt this too much pressure for a kid? doing yurchenkos already and wearing grips at such a young age?
Poor kid 😢. It’s like constant boot camp! Love how they are constantly stressing they are letting her be a kid and having fun? No days off ? 😳‼️🤦🏼♀️
OMGG SHE WENT TO TH SAME GYM AS ME????!!! I SEE MY COACH 😅😅😅
Three coaches working with one child alone? The parents must be super rich to pay for it
Ничего не знаю, просто за Россию
I Competing level 4 swinging Safari and Daytona Beach right now I’m a level 5 is she
I have competed with her motable times
See you in the olympics
And I think she’s a mini Simone Biles
!
I went to nassau nastics
