Having been a gymnast l know what a 10 looks like and her routine was definitely a 10. I have watched 10s given in the past to gymnast who should not scored a 10. She showed Native Black American style culture along with high skills off the chart. Beautiful Queen 👑! Shalum!
@@PhenixJoe Agreed. And no, not racist. Damn, it's not always someone sitting there hating a race. It's their right to not like something about the ROUTINE. Even if we don't agree with them.
Boo on the commentator that said this is all fun. No, this was ALL SKILL. It takes a great degree of skill to make something so difficult look fun and effortless. Don't diminish the talent and expertise that Nia displays.
I believe that’s the point that the commentator, who was a former gymnast, was making. Nia made those difficult skills look effortless and fun!! Now THAT takes skill!
@hello there Because it's there and its obvious....imagine working that hard with that much skill only to be told awww how fun not wow how talented and disciplined it's like in my world as a lawyer arguing the toughest case of my life only to have the judge and jury comment on my outfit..........
Dessy this shouldn’t have been a ten, her finish of the last tumbling pass was iffy, probs a .1 deduction, and also, at several points in her dance, her feet were not fully pointed, just her toes were (a .05 deduction). In college gymnastics, people have gotten too used to tens- any routine without major faults and mostly stuck landings that doesn’t get a ten, is considered a robbery.
@@morgand3675 her toes were pointed, you don't understand different genres of dance. Hip hop, and jazz are different techniques and the few times her toes weren't point was intentional. The first walk is called stepping or majorette dance style-its how they walk in and off the floor. One was called the ' walk it out' and the other was the 'soldier' move everyone does and your feet are suppose to stay straight forward. It's not ballet! Your allowed to use different types of dance in gymnastics!... The judges may not have understood this either. Their either white, not a dancer instructor, or have no dance background.
@djw4299 Ok that did fall out but was very relevant in the overall point. So that's all you took from an entire paragraph huh? SMDH 😑 You lookin, n reachin!
Chief Jay Binns i know how dance works, I have been a dancer (and no, not just ballet) as well as gymnast for years. There were points in her dance where her toes were pointed, but not her ankles. This is exactly what you want to avoid, as it is what get you a deduction for not pointing you feet.
Nia is so beautiful. Her personality shines right through her performances. If that wasn't a 10; then I don't know what a 10 looks like. She brings so much to the world of gymnastics. It's like she adds dancing to the sound of music, she's twirling without a baton, she's modeling without the 👠 heels, and she's like a marching band without the uniform. She executes each move with such exuberance. Nia is undeniably a POWERHOUSE that can't be denied. Yes, she's a force to be reckoned with. She totally nailed this performance.
Seriously where is the deduction how was this not a 10? the scoring in this meet was so strangle ucla had 3 9.975's but at least two of them should have been 10's! the whole season has been so weird with scorings but i seriously hope they start giving ucla what they deserve
At 18 seconds, she bounces to the side a little bit and struggles to hit the floor straight. But I still think this is a 10, this was amazing and I can totally see her winning gold medals at the Olympics
There are two deductions that could be taken (that I can see) - first her front foot moves on the first pass (technically for a controlled landing front foot should be stationary) and then on her second leap around 00:32 her leg gets a bit bent towards the top of the leap.
@@Raysa1208 yeah but that doesnt warrant that big of a deduction, also this is collegiate and no where near the olympic level nia will probably never go to the olympics
I NEVER GET ENOUGH OF LOOKING AT THE YOUNG LADY, IM SO PROUUUD OF HER AND THE REST OF THE "BOLD, BEAUTIFUL, POWERFUL, AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY CONFIDENT BROWN GIRLS OF UCLA FLOOR TEAM. FROM THE 1ST AFRICAN AMERICAN QUEEN FROM A WHITE HIGH SCHOOL IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA, YOU BOW TO NO ONE, YOU ARE THE QUEENS !!!
That was AWESOME!!! She is from Ohio, we are from/live in Ohio! Her birthday is also on the same day as our oldest son (2/23/03), so we already knew she was going to do the damn thang!!! Great Job Ms. Nia!
Nia please don't ever let anyone take away your greatness. Your performance was a ten (10), diez, Dix, zehn, tio, dieci, zece, dziesięć, deich, tien. If I have to say 10 in 10 different languages then maybe the judges need to go back to school to learn and understand the dynamics involved in such a performance but more importantly be true to themselves and realize that it's only a great one that can make a performance seem so effortless yet involve so many movements of the human body that it pleases others to the point that, as the stupid commentator said, "This is all fun." No! That was all hard work, skill, and perfection sir!! I'm 74 and have never missed Local, National nor International/World Gymnastic performances so I'm telling you, "That performance was a 10 and better if that was possible. Great job Nia! What does she need to do, bleach her skin white? Yes I said it. I did and I, P. Baylor of Forestville MD, question the judges decision not to rate her performance a 10. Why not?
That was speechless girl you threw down you have some dancing skills I watch UCLA dance all the time but I've never seen you I would love to see you dance more that dance you did it was a 10 perfect wonderful job beautiful young lady don't stop dancing and doing your gymnastics a lot of people don't be watching y'all but let me put it out there yeah I'm from Rhode Island don't know if you ever heard of it it's a small town about an hour in 15 minutes away from Foxwoods Casino but keep doing your thing and may God continue to bless you 👍👍👍😊😊😊👍👍👍😊😊😊
That was just amazing to watch! I got chills!! At the moment I’m writing this comment, there are 54 dislikes on this video. I will just assume that is over the score.... We can all see she’s a 10, whether ya like it or not! We can all see she’s a 10 regardless of the judges score!! 😊
Imagine the house was packed and no COVID.......WHAT!!!!!!! This god_given gift of a performance should give every gymnast inspiration to put in the work and share your full gift with the world. It was a pleasure to watch!
Salute to this women honoring us like that. Like sheesh the detail!!! We see it all sis. Down to the hand symbols of our ancestors. Some things are much bigger than a score.
Makayla Coles look at the step out of her 1st tumbling pass, she takes the step back, and moves her front foot a bit - my guess is that is what she was deducted for.
I think where she didn't get much height from the second set of standing jumps. I'm probably not using the correct terms but that was the only place I could see thst being a possibility
That was actually her theme for this routine! She used to go to marching band competitions when she was younger. I didn't know what a majorette was (I'm from the UK) but after research, she deffo nailed it.
She’s has the best cheering squad. Loved her and them! Now that’s how you support someone!💃🏾
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING 🌈💛✨🌟💕
Right!!!
Thats right! Great Job!

Seriously. Flawless.
It’s in moments like these that I feel like NCAA judging is somewhat arbitrary. This was a 10.

Yup!
Arbitrary? Or racist... 🤔
No I don’t think it’s racist.

I thought I was the only one who caught that micro agression. Wow!
the commentator was an olympic gymnast. She knows how hard it is firsthand. she was talking about the theme of the routine

Nia was amazing. Here attitude was great, her energy if the chart. That was a 10.
The strong hbcu reference I’m loving !!
Now listen I don’t know what has been up with these judges here lately! Are they mad because Miss Val left? Give these girls the 10s the deserve!

Thomas Martinez thats black girl magic at its finest.
All of those 9.975s on floor should've gotten a 10 and those judges know it
UCLA should’ve won the meet the 9.9 from Maile really made no sense
Exactly!!
Both her beam and floor 9.9 were confusing af
Omg I got an ad with the exact same music right before this started. What a fabulous routine.
I am going to miss her ICONIC AMAZING floor routines!!!!✨❤️
Best floor routine I've seen Nia do! ♥️
They didnt want to give her a 10.
YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT!! WE KNOW THE DEAL BUTTHE WHITE GIRL ON THE POLE VAUL GOT 10, OK !!
I can't stop watching this video...I just love her energy in this routine!!
This is always done so well. Good job.
I 💗💗💗💗💗 her routine! These gymnasts are always so pumped up! Love it!
I can literally watch this video all day !!! Love it 😍!!
That was AWESOME!!! She is from Ohio, we are from/live in Ohio! Her birthday is also on the same day as our oldest son (2/23/03), so we already knew she was going to do the damn thang!!! Great Job Ms. Nia!
Nia's routine was absolutely superb! Her attitude was great and her energy was truly off the charts!! I really believe she deserved a 10.0!!!!
Finally! One without the commentators! Such a amazing routine!
Finally able to see diversity in a new way on the mat.
Adjust that crown, Queen!! 🙌🏾

Anybody else see she paid homage to the jsettes with the walk at the beginning ?
I’m at a loss of words to describe her @ her talent ! 💯💪
OMG 😍🌈💛✨🌟💕 WHY AM I SMILING & CRYING @ THE SAME TIME...

She deserved a 10. Such execution and amplitude!!
Can't get enough she is awesome and her team awesome also so supportive of each other.
I love the beats and her dance so LIT 🔥🔥
She "murded" that routine. Judges really should have given her credit. GREAT job young lady.

She woke up like this. Flawless.

WHAAAAAT?!?!?!
That was incredible!!!!
Okay so... I cried. I am just so happy.

Watched this routine 100 million times now and cant figure out why this girl didnt get a 10 like come on?🤷🏽♀️
SHE GOT COMPRESSIONS PERFORMED ON HER BY ONE OF HER TEAMMATES BUT SHE WAS SMILING AND LAUGHING‼️
Judges open your eyes no time to sleep she earned a 10. What did we miss?👀
LETS GO VIRAL
It's when the squad throws their hands up in sync showing support at 1:12 for me. 👏BRAVO!

Idk much about gymnastics but UCLA seems to be killing the game. Also shout out to who ever choreographs these insane routines!!
