Her rhythm is next level. No one else moves so fluidly today. And imagine the balls to have had a skill named after you that only you do. And there have been several points in her career where she was the only one doing the unique skills or connections she was doing at the time. I also think she's the smartest beamer out there. Always able to adjust her routine and figure out the consequences herself. What a boss
I remember in Rio she had routines in qualifying, team and then beam finals that were all different from one another- same skills just about, but different combinations. It was unreal how she could think so fast on her feet- on a 4 inch apparatus! Her Olympic gold was a classic.

Anyone who appreciates Sanne, appreciates the origins of artistic gymnastics that is sorely missing in the 21st Century. Sanne brings back the yesteryear of artistic elegance, performance grace, and poised fluidity that we yearn to see---one criminally overshadowed today by a hyper focus in powerhouse acrobatics and rough tumbling. Sanne emphasizes the artistry of artistic gymnastics, and I am so proud of her for forging such an original path, despite trending tricks and scoring popularity. I also love that she doesn't let age define her ability. Women's gymnastics can be so cruel, making a woman in her 20s seem like she's too "old" and past her athletic prime. That's such nonsense. Age does not define capability. We do. And here she is at 31 still being a fierce gold-contending competitor. Way to go, Wevers! You're an inspiration. We
In today’s gymnastics there isn’t originality,uniqueness,and flare. Gymnasts now do all the same skills because the rules won’t allow gymnasts to do anything that takes skill. It only takes 1 gymnast to get severely injured to get a flip,jump,or sequence of flips removed from qualifications. Even if it was the gymnasts own mishap for injuries.
FINALLY A FEMALE BEGINNING HER 30s still in gymnastics! WOOHOO! PS: SHES SO MUCH BETTER THEN BILES TOO!!! This chic deserves 100 gold metals because she’s adding her own originality to the routine!
No i like her bc she unique and she has intelligent programs that use unique skills to help her win as opposed to cookie cutter things that look impressive but after awhile get boring.
Today’s gym is overrun with dance elements. It’s not even acrobatic-heavy as you are making it out to be. You are stuck in time. You aren’t even keeping up with the current code to know what skills are popular and lucrative and what skills are rare and aren’t worth its value. “Tricks” are not trending and that’s the truth. Gymnastics has regressed severely from an acrobatic perspective and it’s because of you “artistry” girlies that can’t appreciate any other for of art besides the ballet influenced/Eurocentric style of artistry and expression.
@@tambam6744 Ok, obviously we disagree. And that's totally fine. BUT, you don't have to put others down to establish your opinion. The way you accuse with that "it's because of you 'artistry' girlies," line is both harsh and untrue. Just because someone happens to enjoy seeing a particular dance style or artistic expression DOES NOT mean we are closed off to a diverse appreciation for other forms of art. Speaking for myself, I love all shades of gymnastics. I'm not STUCK anywhere. I happen to enjoy seeing a style that in my opinion, does not show up frequently, such as what we saw in the innovation of Sanne's routine. It brought elements of yesteryear and adapted them to the modern forefront, and I simply thought it was refreshingly cool.
What all that is just so incredibly those turns have a high level of difficulty she is a graceful and has wonderful rhythm and perfect time in the fact she stuck that perfect gainer full twist Is it amazing
Lovely spins! I personally prefer watching routines with a little bit more acrobatics (like many of the Chinese beam routines because they have a good mix of artistry and acrobatics) but it's nice to have a variety of styles.
Sanne is able to get me excited about a routine I usually would only see at the olympics. Seeing a great routine really makes me feel wonderful for Sanne
Sanne does an acro series and her mount and dismount are athletic too. She is more than just turns and her beam choreography is beautifully expressed. I'm sure at 30 years old she's inspiring to many gymnasts. Excellence has no expiration date. Remember that. Glad she didn't quit she has contributed so much to her sport.
Personally I prefer the tumbling elements on the beam but there's no knocking the difficulty of those spins, if they are as easy as people are making out then why isn't more gymnasts performing them?
They are less impressive to the untrained eyes, from the number of comments discrediting the difficulty of Sanne's routine, you can already tell. But to people who knows, Sanne is in a league of her own.
The saddest thing is FIG crippled turns by capping out its D score. This crippled Sanne's routines completely because she doesn't focus on tumbling. Due to this women's gymnastics is atrociously boring and generic now.
The D score was 6.6. Make no mistake, while this routine might not be as "flashy" as, say, Simone Biles' routine with the double-double dismount, it is HARD. (Just to give you a comparison, Biles' D score was 6.2) Those turns might not make the audience ooh and aah but they take an incredible amount of skill to do.
@@chooseyourpoison5105 Which Biles routine are you talking about that was a intentional 6.2? The watered down Tokyo one? Other than that, Biles beam is consistently in the 6.5-6.8 camp depending on connections.
Only ONE "back handspring" (at that!) in the whole entire routine? I agree. I kept looking at the title, she got a gold for this? Dayum I'm old, lol, this sport has REALLY changed 😬.q
Isn't this the exact same routine from 7 years ago? Incredible spins and poise, but all the pointless arm gestures can't make up for the fact that there's a big lack of flips and jumps. Lovely to watch though.
Yeap, there is a "lack" of flips and jumps in eyes of spectators, but the fact is that her routine has already fulfilled the basic acrobatic requisites, she is using her pirouette combinations to chalk up her scores instead of using tumbling combination like how all Other gymnasts does. If one were to looking closely, most routines of other gymnasts usually only contain ONE spin/pirouette. Their whole focus is on the acrobatic element. But people never ever say there is a lack of spins. But when Sanne does her routine in another way, most people will comment that there is a lack of flips/acrobatic elements. On a side note, I do agree the hand movements are a tad too extra, much more than her past routines
No acrobatic at all! This is just dance … long live the 80 and 90s in artistic gymnastics the perfect balance between acrobatics and dance! This is an European champion with 13,990 equivalent to a 6.20 back in the day!
Turns are HARD on beam. In my mind, it's good to give gymnasts the option to play to their strengths. If you're weaker at acrobatics or dance, compensate by getting extremely good at the other one and still be able to medal. Like Jade Carey for acrobatics on floor. But I do prefer a more even gymnast.
She basically counted 4 acrobatic elements (out of top 8 elements). Do you know how to count? Back in the day, they didn't even do 8 C+ elements with artistic requirements on close beam and side beam within 90 SECONDS. Today's execution evaluation is way more demanding than in the past. Go check FlipFlyTumble.
If she had a decent dismount, would be one of my favourite beam routines of all time. And any hater can yell at me, cause THIS boy did some bad ass beam in his day. Dismount was weak and is still in my opinion, overrated.
Esta rutina debería ser penalizada por tanta repetición de dificultad pasa toda la ejecución en piruetas. Y las acrobacias pobres... Nadie como la gran Catalina ponor elegancia , gracias, acrobacias y mucha dificultad
@@zabag She did an acro series before her dismount, just not the *last counted element* before the dismount. And it doesn't matter when gymnasts do acro series.
@@cocoroni1031That’s not related to my point. Her run-up to her dismount looks like junior gymnastics. Yes, she’s artistic but in that context she lacks the difficulty that would make her a genuine champion. I’m definitely not a fan.
@@zabag Junior gymnastics? Some senior men's floor even has runs with similar speed (and generate sufficient power for a stick). As long as they can perform the dismount (hers is D), they can do whatever run. Your point is totally different from what you wrote in your first comment.
She does the same routine every time...why don' t they learn somersaults in Netherlands? 😄 She can't do a forward somersault and she can't do a backward somersault. And she can't do any otjer dismount than this 🫣 She does this one for years...and nobody tells her that it's too easy and boring. Why can't she do like other athletes and does a GOOD dismount?
Aimee Boorman, Simone Biles' previous coach, worked as an assistant coach in the Netherlands. If she can't do forwards or backwards somersaults, then what were the elements in her acrobatic series that she did to fulfill the compositional requirements? Her dismount is a D element, so it's not like it's actually easy or boring despite what you may think, because it's enough to receive the 0.2 bonus for competing a D dismount. If you're wondering why she can't cater to your specific preferences of gymnastics, why don't you look up her age? I could ask you questions like why can't you inform yourself before making such idiotic and narrow-minded comments but there's no point.
I AGREE !!! SHE IS A ONE TRICK PONY, all she knows to do is pointe her toes and poise like a ballerina and carefully turns !!! then her trademark just a little hop off the beam at the end, nothing too risky
Yes, pirouettes on the beam are difficult, yet, for me, this routine is extremly boring to watch. Other competitors are more elegant and offer more than turns, turns, turns. Plus: I remember how in Rio after her routine she sat down and wrote and calculated the scores,she might get, like a bookkeeper. Next year at world championship she wasn´t that succesful. No accurate calculation of scores that time. Showing the sort of same routine year after year should lead to reductions in points. Rio was 2016, now it´s 2023.
The "flashy" skills, though, often aren't that difficult. The turns might not make the crowd ooh and aah but they are actually mind blowingly hard. Kind of like Beth Tweddle's Markelov release on uneven bars versus Aliya Mustafina's pirouettes on uneven bars - the Markelov is a crowd pleaser, while the pirouettes might not be as fun to watch but are incredibly difficult. That's gymnastics. Deal with it.
And what is actually wrong with "calculating the scores like a bookkeeper?" So what if she sat down with the code of points, purposely picked the hardest skills and then built a routine around them? To me that shows she has incredible skills, that she was able to pull such a routine off. It's a positive, not a negative.
@@chooseyourpoison5105She only counts, when she was sucessful. A bookkeeper also counts, when the result is not so positive. And btw: you can like her, it is okay. I dont, that is okay, too.
@@mrtorstai5336 Just pointing out, she is far from the only athlete to pick out the most difficult skills and build a routine around them - Max Whitlock did it, Nathan Chen did it, heck even Epke Zonderland did it. When a male athlete purposely performs the highest scoring skills he's "determined" and "going for the gold." When a female athlete does it she's "calculating" and "counting points like a bookkeeper." Double standards much?
Amazing turns, but too much hands movements not enough jumps. Let's face it, in beam and floor, despite what the scoring says, the fans want to see more leaps and jumps and acrobatic moves.
Don't generalize your opinion on others. Dance and acrobatics are equally important in WAG. If one just likes acrobatics, one will have more fun watching MAG and tumbling sports. Leaps and jumps are wonderful, so does turns.
I'm a fan of the sport and I am THRILLED by Sanne's different approach, graceful moves, originality and making look easy what is very difficult. Like in everything in life, something that looks difficult not necessarily IS difficult.
@@michaelhoward5786 They are capped but it doesn't mean they aren't important. Well executed dance elements have less to deduct than well executed acrobatic elements in general so the cap prevents gymnasts from overusing dance elements, but themselves are valuable enough.
@@a_2502 most gymnasts create a routine and just stick to it, their strength, their style. Rarely do they really switch their routine, maybe just add one or 2 elements or just increase the difficulty slightly
@@lindaselander9602 And Sanne has her eponymous L turn, so do hundreds of gymnasts who also have skills named after them. Could you stop tagging people with stupidities?
She doesn't point her toes, which is a big problem with many gymnasts now, including the majority of the Americans in recent years, but other than that, I think she's original, and graceful (un-pointed toes notwithstanding). I didn't see her competition, so I don't have an educated view on who should have won.
Very artistic and level of difficulties is like girls had in early 70s...her performance is joyful to watch with few poor acrobatic skills but very artistic...an average score for chinese girls is around 14.000-14.100
While you may not know how to count, she counted 4 D acro skills out of top 8 elements, same as Jade who counted ECDD in her acrobatic elements. Chinese gymnasts are current struggling with consistency or not enough artistry on beam. Score-wise Sanne is still competitive.
Her rhythm is next level. No one else moves so fluidly today. And imagine the balls to have had a skill named after you that only you do.

When a male athlete purposely performs the highest scoring skills he's "determined" and "going for the gold." When a female athlete does it she's "calculating" and "counting points like a bookkeeper." Double standards much?
Who is more elegant than her on beam in the beam final??
Amazing turns, but too much hands movements not enough jumps. Let's face it, in beam and floor, despite what the scoring says, the fans want to see more leaps and jumps and acrobatic moves.
Couldn't agree more. The dancing stuff is just a little extra, the thing that counts and that makes people watch gymnastics is the acrobatics.
Don't generalize your opinion on others. Dance and acrobatics are equally important in WAG. If one just likes acrobatics, one will have more fun watching MAG and tumbling sports. Leaps and jumps are wonderful, so does turns.
I'm a fan of the sport and I am THRILLED by Sanne's different approach, graceful moves, originality and making look easy what is very difficult. Like in everything in life, something that looks difficult not necessarily IS difficult.
@cocoroni if what you said was really true they wouldn't cap dance elements at e. Clearly the FIG disagrees.
@@michaelhoward5786 They are capped but it doesn't mean they aren't important. Well executed dance elements have less to deduct than well executed acrobatic elements in general so the cap prevents gymnasts from overusing dance elements, but themselves are valuable enough.
What a boring beam routine! SOS!
I have to agree 😕 not exciting. We’ve seen this for years. Would love if she switched it up.
Dacă e boring, schimba canalul.
@@a_2502 most gymnasts create a routine and just stick to it, their strength, their style. Rarely do they really switch their routine, maybe just add one or 2 elements or just increase the difficulty slightly
She won't beat Biles. Maybe bronze @ Olympics!😮
She has a whole year to upgrade. And she’s already beaten Biles, so have others
@@leykimayri ok, so that was then, biles has her signature dismount!
@@lindaselander9602 And Sanne has her eponymous L turn, so do hundreds of gymnasts who also have skills named after them. Could you stop tagging people with stupidities?
@@leykimayri I'm not tagging, biles dismount is the hardest!
European gymnastics is subpar without the Russians. The Japanese will bury these ladies
Way overrated.
Bad gymnastics being rewarded (not awarded) gold again. Typical.
She doesn't point her toes, which is a big problem with many gymnasts now, including the majority of the Americans in recent years, but other than that, I think she's original, and graceful (un-pointed toes notwithstanding). I didn't see her competition, so I don't have an educated view on who should have won.
Bad what? Just because you say so?
Brilliant!
Very artistic and level of difficulties is like girls had in early 70s...her performance is joyful to watch with few poor acrobatic skills but very artistic...an average score for chinese girls is around 14.000-14.100
While you may not know how to count, she counted 4 D acro skills out of top 8 elements, same as Jade who counted ECDD in her acrobatic elements. Chinese gymnasts are current struggling with consistency or not enough artistry on beam. Score-wise Sanne is still competitive.
