    Additional info: the first 5 gymnasts to perform the Cheng were Cheng Fei, Kim Myong Bok, Hong Un Jong, Hong Su-jong and Jade Barbosa.

    I love how that ONE Cheng she did still holds up as top tier.

      It shows that human body is capable of incredible stuff like gymnastics. Human body is the best machine.

    i absolutely love your soothing voice and editing. It's the little things like the short clips of Jade, Simone, and Mykayla putting their arms up before their routines. So small, but such a good detail. You deserve all the subscribers in the world.

    I think her form from the springboard through to the first twist is as good as Simone and Rebeca's best Chengs, and leagues better than anyone else. She doesn't get quite as much power as they do, and the form falls a part a little at the end, but the beginning is a thing of true beauty.

    2:21 that LOSO out of the tumbling skill is so beautiful and unique! 😍 was that a double full or triple full she did it out of?? I’m bad at judging twisting skills lol. Also her form is impeccable on this vault, this vault usually has so many form problems

    • @tidalvii8640

  • @colesmith7509

    How on earth did she only get a 9.1 E score on her first Cheng??? That’s ridiculous

    • @murasakino101
      @murasakino101 2 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      Especially considering that scores weren't as strict at that time. I feel like she deserved higher even though she does have a bit of form break. Her block and height were AMAZING and she was so underrated 😭

    Hey Gymnastics Masterclass, would it be ok if you can make a video about inquiries and how gymnasts use them and a brief history on them as well as some gymnasts that went on to use them such as Aly Raisman in 2012 beam finals in London, Larisa Iordache in 2020 floor finals in Europeans, Kara Eaker in 2019 Worlds beam QF, Brooklyn Moors in 2019 Worlds floor QF, how much they cost, etc? I would love it if someone can make a video on them so I can understand them better🙏

  • @nathanjames4734
    @nathanjames4734 2 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    Just a little PSA for all the Americans out there. As a Mandarin speaker, the correct way to say the word “Cheng” is like “Chung”with a “u” sound. It’s not “Chang” or “Chong” like many US commentators and gymnasts say.

    • @AnnekaMorgan
      @AnnekaMorgan 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! Is it more of "ch" the way it's spelled, or "sh" the way it's pronounced here? Or somewhere in the middle?

    I do not understand downgrade on these gymnastics moves. These young women have to do so much just to be elite. I'm very disappointed in the gymnastics officials. They need to do better for their athletes.

      @AlyFrederi Suni, Nina, and most Russian gymnasts were still out scoring 95% of VT’s in Tokyo. Simone and Chenchen could get high 14s and low 15s more than a perfect DTY.

    I don’t understand why the Amanar was downgraded, can someone explain? To me it’s such a difficult vault with the blind landing and much more beautiful when done right

  • @user-kh9ki3kq8m
    @user-kh9ki3kq8m 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    but every other vault was also downgraded? it’s not like they Only downgraded the cheng and left all the other vault SV’s the same. (right?)

    • @user-kh9ki3kq8m
      @user-kh9ki3kq8m 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      also vault was way over scored in the previous code considering that there’s only really one skill to take deductions on. a good beam routine can get a 7.5E at a competition but a shotty DTY can score an 8.5.

      th-cam.com/video/ZgcSsg538JU/w-d-xo.html in this video, it looks like she does a 1/2 on, 1/2 in piked position off. It’s hard to tell though.

      Jogging the memory here, but I think Humphrey and Postell have done the “piked” Khorkina 2 vault at minor meets in the 2001-2004 quad. RO- 1/2 on- piked 1.5 twists off.
