she is so underrated and so insanely talented. so glad she's back!
How is she underrated when she has won an olympic gold medal?
+Niklas LW Cuz they only talk about Simone lol not her therefor underrated
I wouldn't say she underrated but she's FAR from overrated
thats what i thought how is she underrated?
Niklas LW she’s underrated in the sense that she’s always been in the shadow of others - Weiber and Douglas has all the headlines in 2012 and Biles in 2016. It’s just timing.
If you look at records, most in the gymnastics community would probably put Aly as the third greatest American gymnast behind Biles and Miller but she is rarely considered as such in general.
And here I am tripping on flat surfaces...sigh
We're here for you.
123tube456 same
123tube456 well that's great 'tumbling' 😄 you could be a gymnast afterall!
Hey, gymnasts trip on flat surfaces, too. We just hope it's not during a routine.
IKR!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
"Aaw. The human body can do so many amazing things." - said by me, while sitting in an 8-hour desk job with a huge belly. And I'm gonna die without even learning a proper cartwheel.
+Theologos Just cutting out soda helped that much? How many did you drink a day before you quit drinking them? I'm really curious since I drink them daily myself. 🤔
It's primarily from cutting out processed carbohydrates or simple sugars. These wreck your insulin levels and cause fat storage, so removing them from your diet is a great way to lose weight and be healthier. Plus, cutting out those simple carbs from sodas (juice too) lowers how much water you tend to hold, so it helps reduce bloat.
terrific1290 never to late to try a cartwheel
terrific1290 f
terrific1290 hahaha... Lmao. The story of my life
During the Olympics this year I had an argument with a dude on a news forum, who said gymnastics wasn't a sport, it was a hobby. He considered soccer to be a real sport.
Seeing this, once again makes my blood boil over his ignorance.
Joy ce U know why I love gymnastics and ice skating. It's a sport that doesn't fail to show beauty with strength.
Joy ce so soccer can be a sport while gymnastic can't? I agree with you 100%. Gymnastic combines beauty with hard work and all the while being a sport. ( sorry if it seems mean to YOU but I agree with you and how gymnastic is and can be a sport.)
Joy ce obviously u are a rugby supporter!🤣
MAN DOES THIA PROBLEM REMIND ME OF SOMETHING... HMMM
MAYBE DANCE. (sorry I am a competitive dancer and it really annoys me when someone is like "oh yeah dance isn't a sport")
Joy ce omg yes like out of all sports gymnastics is the one that makes u the strongest and is the most competitive just bc it's not like a team doesn't make it not a sport, people don't know how strong u have to be
I just really love her attitude and personality. She is better now than four years ago. Her flexibility is better in her leaps, her tumbles look stronger and higher and she is just so solid. I knew she was going to surprise people in London. Something told me she was going to surprise people and she did. So happy for her to be back and looking better than ever. Good luck and Rock on!
+dronetalk 316 lol have you ever met a man.....yall never shut up but you don't even realize how much you talk, and talk over women....also like it's not like no man has ever commented on some professional athlete expressing admiration for them & happiness about their success, like tf is wrong w that, why can't some ppl just let ppl be happy without being buzzkills for no reason...
Thank you for that. I was just ignoring the pesky flies buzzing about because they weren't worth wasting energy or time. :o) You are correct though!
+Heather Wicker haha np! it's true tbh they're not really worth it. but sometimes you're just in a mood to be pissed at someone on youtube yanno
True words. Been there before. lol One night years ago I was talking to my brother on the phone and he talked for three hours...three freaking hours!! I got maybe 15 mins of talking. I was exhausted and realized it's not true that women talk a lot. Men talk way more. lol Have a great day!
drone talk 316: And you obviously don't write tOO much. Bless your heart.
This is such a thing of beauty, glad they replayed it so many times and broke it down because I would have been sitting here hitting the replay button repeatedly otherwise! Really fascinating to see all that goes into that tumbling pass
Aly honestly doesn't get enough credit she's such a great gymnast
This pass has always amazed me and it still does
"Not matter what happens, I've already won" love that
Unbelievable. There will never be another like you, Aly Raisman. We're all cheering you on for Rio!
Aly was absolutely stunning to watch. I loved every minute watching her.❤
It always amazes me when she does that pass. It is unbelievable how talented and graceful Aly is.
the punch layout really makes this entire routine
shes so incredibly powerful, yet exhibits such a high level of grace. and gorgeous too hehe my favorite gymnast.
Anyone here after seeing her pull this off in Rio?
yep
Yes! It was amazing!
we dont have tv and it's not anywhere on TH-cam, i want to see her so badly in RIO. :(
+StarChime Edits 101 you can stream and watch everything on the nbc app or website
Derek Shepard but only for 20 minutes and then you have to buy it. :(
It's an overused word but she is amazing. She's so beautiful and strong and seems to defy gravity.
I just remember seeing her do this flawlessly. I remember crying tears with her for being PROUD of her. None of us knew her, we were all at buffalo wild wings, it seemed as if we all stopped breathing as we heard her music on all of the tv screens. She made it look effortless.
Hurts to know what she was going through at this time.
Nymphfy I think she means the abuse that came out.
Chany Goldstein
Yes, the abuse.
I can't watch any 2012 Olympics clips because of things that came out in testimony.
I don't understand her doing naked photoshoots considering what she said happened to her?
@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 you've probably never been sexually assaulted then. she didnt just say it happened to her, it did happen. he was convicted and went to jail for it and it happened to hundreds of other girls too. there is literally no correlation between her abuse and her choosing to do a nude photoshoot but your ignorant little lizard brain can only think "if she was molested (that is if she didnt make the whole thing up) shouldnt she be ahsamed of her body and all things remotely sexual for the rest of her life?" and it wasnt just a naked photoshoot it was the ESPN body issue that is meant to celebrate all different types of athletes bodies, not remotely sexual. She has an insanely strong body that earned the USA a gold medal and she has ever right to show off and be proud, if she wants to showcase it in a prestigious magazine its nobody's decision but her own.
For those who are curious about how she did in Rio, she won silver in the floor routine, and silver in the all around. Her team mate, Simone Biles, took gold in both, as well as in the vault.
@heart snob
Yes, you are exactly right. Sometimes a field of competition is dominated by a single, amazing, athlete. Competitors who would otherwise win, are repeatedly kept off of the top podium.
It's not just about being good, it's about who destiny forces you to compete against.
And guess what? It got you that gold and silver medal! Hope to see you again, probably one more, at Tokyo!
GeneCARRASCA she said it was her last Olympics
I don't think she'll be back after the Larry Nassar controversy. She's working more towards being a voice for athletes and protecting athletes.
I can barely fit a roundoff back handspring layout in one pass, how does she do that??
Really? Across a whole corner to corner...?
i feel you, im so tall for my age and it is really hard!
I'm one 1.65 and just eleven, height can be really annoying in gymnastics!!
She is only like 5'4
Andrea Garcia We're the same age but you're like 20 centimeters taller😂 I'm such a shortie
These athletes never fail to impress me. They look like they are giving gravity the finger.
jhhwild
Apparently that was the doctor
Really loved how broken down and well explained this pass was. Enjoyed the info-graphics, very helpful. And I like the layout at the end. I don't know why but I really love that move and thing it is very pretty and so neat to watch.
It's insane how gifted she is.
A lot of it is extreme hard work. Don't just put that out of the picture.
discupline and hardwork. not a gift. expending at least 8 hours of training every day!
Gustavo Mendias Well now you're on the other side of the spectrum. I'm sure her teachers saw something in her at a young age that far surpassed that of her peers. That must be her "gift". It's always a combination of the two.
+Locke Sir. mothing is a "gift" it is a continous training. of course their trainers saw "something" added to her many hours of trianing. people said "my mom said I'm gifted in singing. O.k but my question is? do you do any vocal course? any training.. they respond. No. but my momma said I'm gifted"a talent without many hours of training,discipline and failure is Nothing. of curse their parents want her to be gymnast. it is an expensive career too. so .it is a whole package.
Gustavo Mendias
Read what I posted. I did not deny that her results came from constant training. That probably accounted for more than 90% of the reason why she is so good at what she does. HOWEVER, you cannot deny the fact that some people, some people (just read this part), have some sort of external outside INCLINATION to be good at certain things. For example, some people are "gifted" athletically, some have higher than average IQ's, some are born with perfect pitch, etc. HOWEVER, most people are not of the above description, so they have to rely on pretty much 100% hard work.
It's always an honour to watch these amazing gymnasts!
Thank you, Aly, for taking the time to walk us through this amazing pass.
Every one here is a hero, you are beyond every one, and I love you all
I love watching gymnastics. I did it briefly as a kid but never at this level. The things they can do with their bodies are amazing and beautiful. And this sport is not for the faint of heart. These women are incredibly strong and have to be fearless to do what they do. I’m always in awe.
The Punch Layout at the end is just beautiful.
Magnificent
We're ALL pulling for you Aly! Best of luck (forever)!
Aly, You are are phenomenal in every way possible!
“Sometimes I struggle with being confident”-someone who was a team & individual gold medalist captain at age 18
american olympian aly raisman is beyond extraordinary. i am amazed by her athleticism and grace
Yas Aly! Honestly this pass is still impossible for anyone else. I'd LOVE to see someone even attempt this pass...
Beth Tweddle used to compete the pass without the punch layout to finish so she was probably the closest to achieving it. But she often almost went out of bounds even without the layout so I'm guessing that even though she was probably capable of the skill she wouldn't be able to keep it in bounds.
It's not that uncommon without the layout. Ellie Downie has competed the 1 1/2 to double arabian (sometimes with a leap out of the arabian), and I'm fairly certain the Viktoria Komova did as well. The layout is what makes it so challenging. 0.2 extra in connection value and much more difficult to keep in bounds.
Check out my Instagram mattjdunn11 I’ve trained that pass
slow motion makes you appreciate the movements! So much talent! Wow
I watched that first tumbling pass when she was at the Olympics over and over. It was just so awesome to see her stick it cold.😁
Awsome insight!!! I will be rooting for Aly!!!She has the HEART OF A LION!!!Keep striving for GREATNESS!!!
She’s so inspiring and so goood at what she does. She really inspires me to set goals and to never give up. Keep up the great work @ Aly Raisman. 💕👏🏼👏🏼You are going to do sooo good! Keep it up!!!
I’m so inspired by aly raisman she is amazing!❤️keep up the hard work! You got this!!
I am seeing that and Im feeling sad cause she is actually retired from this sport. For sure I ll miss Aly in Tokio 2121 and in Gymnastics :(
What a phenomenal athlete/human being! 👌👏👌👏👏🙏
Aly is not only incredibly talented, she's someone to look up to as a strong, brave woman
as a scrawny guy I am incredibly jealous of her arms... and you know the fact that she is a superhuman
Every time I see her compete I just kinda feel shame looking at her arms, shoulders, and legs... and I'm not even scrawny, just jealous.
go hit the gym, you girly men
Yes, weights.
TI Pilot you would find it far easier to put on muscle than her.
It shows how much gymnastics has changed over the years, and how much hard work and dedication goes into this amazing sport!
I could watch her all day. She absolutely fantastic!
a really nice video and breakdown of the actual moves well done! Thanks to all involved
she’s so talented, dedicated, and hardworking. I love her!
Love her!!! She's so frickin talented
1 year later this comes back up in my recommended
aly is definitely not underrated, what great video completely breaking down what makes her routine so amazing
The human machine, I'll always be in awe of what people can accomplish through discipline.
The set on that double Arabian is pretty amazing. See goes up for an eternity before even starting the flip. Can definitely learn from this.
I am so grateful for this kind of high-tech super visual breakdown of the sport. As a spectator, I love gymnastics, but find it so insanely fast that I struggle to fully understand what is happening.
I can't do one cartwheel so...this girl deserves GOLD.
Kanye East LA this comment made me laugh
1kaaa I can’t even do a backhand spring!!! All I can do is a backwalkover☹️☹️
I'm just gonna sit here and continue eating my Pringles. Holy shit.
Aly Raisman is a beast! How can you not love her?...
I have been out of gymnastics for two years. I have been going to open-gym though, and this video really makes me miss gymnastics. 😢
She makes it look so effortless!
My favorite part of any floor routine.
Exxellent job young lady! Im very proud that you represented the U. S. gymnastics team.
This is insane. That the human body and mind can achieve this, it is absolutely amazing and beautiful.
I hope she comes back for 2020 even though she's probably not. she's amazing
I'd be heartbroken if she didn't make Tokyo 2020.
Silverfoxxee Same! 3 years later, I’m so sad she’s retired.
She’s my absolute favorite gymnast of all time. There’s just a lot about her that I admire, like her personality and her work ethic, just to mention two things. ⚡️🤸♀️⚡️💖
I love Simone but I really do think Aly should of won gold in floor. Her routine was amazing!!
TheEclipticSmiless are you kidding me ally is awesome but Simon bileses floor routine was out of this world . At this point Simon biles is competing with herself
Tell that to her at the beam final.
TheEclipticSmiless but Simone was dead amazing. Ally could have 2nd place.
TheEclipticSmiless derass
TheEclipticSmiless beam is always an unsure event, she still medaled and became a legend. The other competitors know they have to depend on Simone to mess up, and Aly is indeed a beast on floor but she got her gold in 2012. But Simone routine has things many can’t achieve.
See this at full speed is insane. You are amazing young lady.
She is one of my favorites! So confident 🤗🤗🤗
Wow!! How awesome to be able to witness this! Thanks so much for posting this!!
I love that tumbling pass. It blew me away in 2012 and I am sure it will blow me away again when she does it in Rio.
Really good film. The graphics really open the whole tumble, to explain it so clearly
Still one of my all time favorite tumble passes!!
I think top gymnasts don't get the real credit they deserve in their dedication to excellence on the floor; the years of training, the bruises and pain, the injuries & healing they endure between matches.
I love this video for explaining the exercises so clearly.
Love you Aly! The whole country was is, and always will be proud of you!
one of my favorite gymnasts of all time!!!
Freaking love her!!
The height you are able to get is really amazing. Combined with fantastic body control from hours of self-disciple you are the perfect example of athletic ability taken to the max. Thank you for sharing this inspiring video.
Aly is solid! I noted an observable improvement since London. Gabby has improved, but seems preoccupied; perhaps an injury or lack of confidence? Hope she gets it together before Rio.
the blend of athleticism and elegance is so amazing to watch. i wish i had such control over my body 😩
Amazing breakdown and digital finesse. Amazing video.
Best of luck, Aly! Boa sorte nas Olimpiadas!!
Watching this in slow motion with the arrows makes it even more spectacular
I haven't done gymnastics in 40 years, but it still amazes me.
That's a beautiful opening pass 😲👍
I'm not familiar with the technicals of the sport...but I love watching them it's sooo freaking awesome and amazing😃😃😃.u wish I could do that. These athletes work so hard at their craft.
Much respect to all these gymnasts 🙌🏼❤️
and you are stronger! congrats😘
Great video
One of the difficult elements I forget about is how they align them perfectly. They go straight from one corner to the other without going crooked!
She will always be my favourite gymnast
Just sooo much talent. It's amazing
It’s still impossible for everyone else but her! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 one of my all time fav passes on floor!
This is crazy! So many skills in one pass.
Amazing talent. Nice to see she won Gold @ Rio. She is one of only 2 Americans to win back to back golds. Awesome work.
I’m reading her book right now and I love it 🥰 she is just so amazing
Amazing 😍 she's the best!💪👏😍💓
Amazing Aly and to think what you were going through with that monster at that time. Best wishes
Just imagine the dedication just to get to now, amazing
And she did it !! She's so awesome !!
I still think the layout can be a full😁
Me too
that wouldn't effect the d score at all....
Maybe but she could also step out of bounds
This is posted on a mainstream channel hah...so none of the commenters actually do gymnastics.
Might as well do a half (or 1 1/2) layout and do another tumbling pass to the other corner 😁😁
