Its so crazy that this was 5 years ago. Now Maria Paseka has just won the 2017 worlds vault gold, Ellie Black has just won silver in the all around, and Oksana is STILL competing and producing gorgeous vaults. Never would've guessed by the looks of this final, but here we are!
Sandra Izbasa truly deserved the vault gold medal on this day. If McKayla Maroney had landed both vaults well then she would have deserved the gold medal on this day. It really goes to show you that anything can happen in gymnastics.
Maroney was actually competing with a broken foot, nose and recovering from a concussion so had she not been that badly injured she would've snatched that gold
@@jubilee4 I'm honestly still shocked at how amazing her amanar still was despite all her injuries. She's extremely tough mentally and physically and still wanted to compete through it all. Just goes to show how much all of these girls work to achieve their dreams
i'm 37 and just getting out of bed some days is an olympic feat to me. hats off to oksana chusovitina, for this, and then coming back and making the rio games at 41. just insane.
AND now Tokyo 2020!!! And still fighting though she was injured before being able to qualify for Paris 2024 this year. No one can call her a quitter!!!🎉
Octavian Bellu may not be the nicest person in the world, but one cannot deny that he is such an accomplished coach. He is the one that realized the potential of Izbasa, and encouraged her to try vaulting. With two years, Izbasa became double European champion on vault (2011 and 2012), and now the Olympic champion. Bravo Sandra, awesome victory !
Ne znam kakav je covek u to ne ulazim ,mora imati dokaze da li je los ili dobar,ali trener je van vremenski.Po njegovim vodstvom su Rumunke bile godinama neprikosnovene
Sandra Izbasa is a true champion. So much class and elegance and good sports wrapped into one package. Congratulations to her for solid vaults and gold! Congrats to all the ladies that competed in this vault!
Paseka was the cutest when she medaled. That spark went away after this final, but I saw the same thing in her eyes when she won the vault final at worlds this year and that just makes me so happy
What I find disturbing is that people like you keep bringing him up in videos that are supposed to showcase the athletic achievements of these women. Because of this the 2012 Olympics for gymnastics are now going to be synonymous with that creep. And people wonder why victims don't come forward, because that's how they'll be seen.
You’re allowed to be mad when you disappoint yourself! She fell, that’s why she was mad. Sandra Izsbasa performed absolutely beautifully during this final.
@@ferchomenchoxddd6851 that was unrelated to why she was mad, she was mad at herself. She didn't let the actions of the disgusting monster affect her performance.
I realize I'm late on this, but I think Elsabeth Black should have got some kind of prize for having enough sense to abort that second vault and get her ankle seen to. She could have caused permanent damage. Smart girl.
She has had a.very long and stellar career and it's because of this mindset. Someone like Maroney was too injured to ever make another Olympics because it was win at all costs.
Isn't it ironic that the same people that whined over Cheng Fei winning bronze with a fall are saying that McKayla is amazing for winning silver despite a fall.
David Robert Brown Cheng Fei had 0.9 higher in start and a fall was only worth 0.8. Plus Cheng has cleaner form during flight. Her pre-flight and flight in her vaults were better than Sacramone. Just her landing on one wasn’t as good.
@@rolandgreen7484 2008 having a stronger field is irrelevant. If suppose Cheng Fei was from the US, they would've said how amazing she was for winning a bronze despite a fall with such a strong field.
There’s no way, even if she stuck her final tumbling pass, she wasn’t beating Ally. Her routine wasn’t as difficult, playin and simple. Every pass Ally did was better than Izbasa. Don’t be ridiculous.
"This is not making sense?" it makes perfectly sense = you fall, you lose, simple as that. If you want to win a gold medal, you need a perfect execution, from start to end.
+Rosispergia no the figures weren't making sense, there was a computer problem. The scores the commentators were given were wrong, so they were confused, naturally.
You're quite possibly a moron. Nobody ever said it didn't make sense for her to "lose" Did you miss the part where they were trying to understand a scoring error, or did you just grab the first chance you had to hate on McKayla/US?
I’m wondering if that’s the reason Makayla was so shaky on her vault final because Larry Nassar, was there rattling her. Knowing what the girls said about him, they said that Makayla had the worse experience. 😢
Who is the really the best gymnast in the world? Oksana Chusovitina for still being able to compete for medals in elite gymnastics while she was 37 in London. Every other gymnast is just good at some point of their career but she was there for years and years and years and still collecting medals. This is really an achievement, not that you were the greatest for one quad. :)
Truth!! She's tough as nails! As you age gymnastics begins to get crazy hard, that's why young girls are best at it, but she just keeps going! That's incredible to say the least and an inspiration to all who love the sport and want to continue as she has done. 😍♥️
It's amazing and she is definitely one of a kind. Most female gymnasts have such a early and short window, mostly due to physical issues, and it's just one of the tough and unfortunate parts of the sport for them. Oksana is definitely a rare gem, and blessed with a body that has been able to hold up much longer than 99% of other female gymnasts, not at all to downplay her amazing hard work and determination.
KseniaSemenovaFan no that lady needs to stop. Every time she shows up she takes another little girls olympic dream from them I don’t want to hear that she is doing it for her son because he is fine now and she could get a job and become gainfully employed just like the rest of us.
Not in diving though if a person have very good execution scores: Execution: 27/30 Difficulty 2.7 Score 72.90 they MULTIPLIED the execution and difficulty scores. If a person has bad execution but a high level difficulty: Execution: 18/30 Difficulty 4.1 Score 73.80 See it?
Marina Plana Because unfortunately (as sochi 2014 showed to us) a marvellous perfect routine can lose agains politics, home-cocking scores and a rutine full of flaws, even with an extra-jump the scores on PCS were invented to made the russian won the gold eventhough yuna kim's GOE was very superior since the SP (short program).
Canada did an amazing job! Yes, Elsabeth fell and didn’t vault a second time, but I’m just glad that she knew her limitations before she seriously hurt herself.
it's really amazing that oksana chusovitina is still competing in gymnastics on vault and on the other apparatuses too! hopefully she doesn't retire yet after this!
Sandra had two solid and clean vaults. She was the better performer on the day. Maroney is still a great vaulter and will always be remembered at such. I feel sorry for her, but this result was totally fair.
Who was better, who did a perfect vault, who had the biggest difficulty ... it doesn't matter anymore. Sandra Izbașa has won the olympic gold medal and she deserves it! It was her day, it was her moment to show to the world what she can do. She was and will always be amazing! Look, Sandra has missed the medal on floor final but she smiled at the end of the routine, she accept it althought is wasn't a happy moment. If Maroney is better than her, well, she had to show it at the right time so this wasn't happen. McKayla couldn't get it at London and that's it, my friends.
Exciting competition after McKayla Maroney's debacle gave way to Sandra Izbasa's surprise win. It is great to see Sandra Izbasa & Catalina Ponor compete with the age, experience and physique of mature women. They are both beautiful and amazingly fit.
Id say I would say the opposite. I'd say its crazy to see the older women especially Chusovitina compete with the ever younger crowd and still hold strong. Thats the crazy stuff to me
All of these gymnasts are so beautiful and it takes great physical and mental strength to even go out there and perform. It takes years of hard work and dedication to qualify for the Olympics and even though I'm not a gymnast I can say that all of these athletes deserve gold medals Like if you are so excited for Tokyo 2020
I'm so happy Elisabeth decided not to vault because it could've been really catastrophic. Her ankle plus her mindset after falling on the first vault wouldn't be helpful.
Mckayla Maroney's face was dark the whole time after that second vault. My heart goes out for her. Knowing that you put your whole life in gymnastics and not getting the result you wanted is really heartbreaking. 😢😢😢
@@evancarlson1634 Realy? Izbasa had the second qualifying score in 2012. She was the reigning European vault champion for two consecutive years. In addition to that, just before the Olympics, she unveiled a splendid Cheng. It's true, she did it in training, but it was really well-executed, and clearly ready for competition. Because Maroney fell, she chose not to complete it. With a Cheng, plus her first vault, Izabasa would have had her a higher combined difficulty than Maroney. So stop being a jerk because Maroney was not actually beaten by a nobody as you suggest.
amethyst lol I never said Izbasa wasn’t good. I said the vault she won with wasn’t good even for her. The level of difficulty of the vaults during the team final was extremely high and had much better execution than this final.
Romania has so many incredible gymnasts, besides Nadia and Sandra there are Kati Szabo, Daniela, Gina, Lavinia, Simona, Andrea, DNS, Cata and Larisa, among others. Hopefully they can pick it up again for Tokyo, Paris and beyond.
Izbasa deserved the Gold, and maybe Paseka the silver, but I do think McKayla deserved to medal, remember that its not just about how you land its about the form in the air, the mount, and as long as he feet touch first than it's just a point deduction, and her first vault alone was amazing. I do think she didn't deserve Gold or Silver. Happy for Izbasa, she's been on of my favorites since 2008, and what a beauty she is.
+Edmund Leong They actually started the feet first rule in 2001. I heard that it was somewhat motivated by some of the vaults where people were nearly seriously hurt doing vaults they should not have been doing...i.e.-Alana Slater.
Elisabeth Black, i think she could've done really well if it weren't for that fall... It's good that she knows her limits, if not she might have been in more pain. Go Elisabeth!
Black's decision not to risk further injury was the best decision she could've made in her career. Few years later she became an AA World silver medalist (almost gold).
She deserves that medal! It would have been unfair if Kyla would have won the gold medal with that landing! I also think the referees overstated Pasheka's first vault.
lol... so the american comentators thought u.s. would win even if she fell, and the german girl was crying because she thought she would get a medal because the american fell. But the romanian won because she had best performance without falling on her ass. lol .
Izbasa definitely should've won, but I think Paseka robbed Janine of a medal. She very nearly fell on her her Amanar and got the same execution score as Janine did on her Tsuk double full, and only .066 lower than Rogers. Maroney's scores were correct...it's Paseka's I don't get. That said, I am totally pulling for her to get gold this year. She looks like a different gymnast! It's inspiring.
Adrian A The hate on the commentators is unnecessary. They were complaining about a computer glitch, so they didn't know the exact scores. They weren't complaining about the scores themselfs.
36:02 This announcer clearly didn't remember what he said. McKayla's score was never readjusted from when it was announced at 30:46 to be 15.083 for a combined score. He was obviously only looking at her score for her first vault that was 15.866 and not the combined average of the two.
People shouldn't try to excuse McKayla's mistakes in this final. First vault she landed one foot out of line and the second one she fell. She looks great in the air, but she messed up so she and all the people defending her should lose their arrogance. She didn't deserve that medal.
Her execution is very well, the reason why she didn't get the gold was because of her mistakes when landing. She is a two time world champion on the vault, that obviously shows that she is superior to the other athletes. She most definitely does not deserve the gold for the performance in the finals, but she most definitely deserves a medal for her technical skills and her execution.
Leeann Mussatt funny that in 2008 when Cheng Fei got the bronze on vault, everyone was saying that it was not fair, this was about the same mess up as Maroney did 2012. 4 years later and with her being American it would be okay if she would have won, WTF? (and remember in 2008 a fall was only 0.8 off) And Cheng Fei was 3 time World Champion 2005,2006 and 2007. what was before or after Olympics does not matter, it is about the moment and Maroney was not superb at all at this moment 2012.
Bela said Cheng's bronze was a rip off, how about Maroney's silver? American fans believe everything should be done for their athletes to win. TOO funny.
I do think it's funny that there was so much nervousness about whether Shawn Johnson would get credit for her Amanar in 2008, and Paseka was no where near as far around on hers as Shawn. Now in Glasgow, that's another story. She was terrific.
Poor Elsabeth black :( glad she didn’t compete her vault though. She knew she wasn’t going to win and possible injury isn’t worth competing a second vault (especially knowing she’d probably fall again).
look at the height she gets off the table and her form in the air. most people twist their legs and pike down during the twist and mckayla is completely straight. it's not just about landing.
i do think there should be bigger deductions for falls. not just in this event. but i like these commentators compared with elfie and co. they're not all constantly talking about how mackayla is going to win and how much better she is than the current vaulter, when we want to just enjoy the current competitor's efforts. sandra also seems to be one of the most amazing women. you can never count her out and always seems to be so happy and gracious and loves the sport and the other competitors, no matter if she's in first or last.
You're right. În 2012 olympics she competed în the Floor finals too. She mislanded her last line, so she lost. But she smiled and congratulated everyone. She had the mindset of a true athlet
Me too..crazy seeing him even at 2000s trials when Shannon miller fell on vault and he tried to go to her aide..but seem like she didn't want his help and got up right away
Maroney didn't deserve gold, but she did deserve silver because of her first vault-very high start value and solid even though she landed out of bounds. And even though she sat down her second vault it still looked good in the air. Landing on your feet is obviously essential, but it's not the only the thing the score is based on.
they were just surprised because everyone thought she would hit it. yeah she didnt deserve the gold medal after her second vault but she is the best vaulter int he world. everyone thought for sure she would get it no need to hate on the commenters. that is there job lol
Respect for the crowd who kept on cheering at the right moment to boost the confidence of athletes.
The crowd was carrying
@@ivonastrukar4715 At least they didn't boo like the Rio crowd
Yes!
I was so proud of the crowds at the London Olympics. They were the perfect crowd in every single event.
Rio is a city of the rich by the ocean, and as you go inland it becomes very low money housing.
Rio Olympics had huge issues due to this problem.
The amount of mental strength it takes to do another one after a bad first one omg
I think a lot better than the other 3 events, where you just have to go after the mistake, especially beam. You have 10 seconds to go up on the beam.
Exactly
Agreed these gymnast are really hard on themselves so having any bit of a mistake really hurts them mentally
@anson I disagree, instantaneous improvisations usually turn out better

In addition to that, just before the Olympics, she unveiled a splendid Cheng. It's true, she did it in training, but it was really well-executed, and clearly ready for competition. Because Maroney fell, she chose not to complete it. With a Cheng, plus her first vault, Izabasa would have had her a higher combined difficulty than Maroney. So stop being a jerk because Maroney was not actually beaten by a nobody as you suggest.
amethyst lol I never said Izbasa wasn’t good. I said the vault she won with wasn’t good even for her. The level of difficulty of the vaults during the team final was extremely high and had much better execution than this final.
Izbasa and Paseka are both so stunningly beautiful.
So is mckayla
Those girls are fearless. So much strengh for falling and still raising up with Grace in front of a crowd.
I’m glad to be Romanian because of her and Nadia
Romania has so many incredible gymnasts, besides Nadia and Sandra there are Kati Szabo, Daniela, Gina, Lavinia, Simona, Andrea, DNS, Cata and Larisa, among others. Hopefully they can pick it up again for Tokyo, Paris and beyond.
@@adrianj.k.4032 has any Romanian qualified for Tokyo? Especially Lari?
@@fortheloveofcats2462 Lari qualified for Tokyo
Bravo Sandra! Bravo Romania!
Lovely Sandra! Great gymnast, great person...
Bravo Sandra arriba Rumania 🇷🇴🇷🇴
Izbasa deserved the Gold, and maybe Paseka the silver, but I do think McKayla deserved to medal, remember that its not just about how you land its about the form in the air, the mount, and as long as he feet touch first than it's just a point deduction, and her first vault alone was amazing. I do think she didn't deserve Gold or Silver. Happy for Izbasa, she's been on of my favorites since 2008, and what a beauty she is.
Is Maroney the best vaulter in the world? Yes. Did she deserve gold here? No, dumbasses, she fell. In the new code, she wouldn't have medalled at all.
+raras889 Was it 0.8 points off because of the fall? Or was it already a full point in that CoP?
+Edmhere Leong Thanks! I was confused there for a second.
+Edmund Leong They actually started the feet first rule in 2001. I heard that it was somewhat motivated by some of the vaults where people were nearly seriously hurt doing vaults they should not have been doing...i.e.-Alana Slater.
مرحبا+Matthew Hines
raras889 She got Sliver cuz her start score was huge
Sandra Raluca Izbasa IS THE NO ..1.. FOREVA
Go Romania DACIA
Elisabeth Black, i think she could've done really well if it weren't for that fall... It's good that she knows her limits, if not she might have been in more pain. Go Elisabeth!
It's elsabeth, but OK
She's the real mvp in my book
There's always next two if you are completely healed. You get your ankle destroyed by trying to continue, and your career might be over.
Black's decision not to risk further injury was the best decision she could've made in her career. Few years later she became an AA World silver medalist (almost gold).
She deserves that medal! It would have been unfair if Kyla would have won the gold medal with that landing! I also think the referees overstated Pasheka's first vault.
The crowd is so respectful xx
hahahha..sandra's reaction is just precious. she didn't expect anything at all..hahahah
As i Heard before , She was pushed by the coach to practice vault discipline , verry late . Thats why She not expected much .
lol... so the american comentators thought u.s. would win even if she fell, and the german girl was crying because she thought she would get a medal because the american fell. But the romanian won because she had best performance without falling on her ass. lol .
+Adrian A Poor girl, i felt really bad for the german girl, but this is what this beautiful sport is turning into.
Thanks USA and their money
Oh well, can't win them all! US won team, all around , and floor! Congrats ladies!!!
Izbasa definitely should've won, but I think Paseka robbed Janine of a medal. She very nearly fell on her her Amanar and got the same execution score as Janine did on her Tsuk double full, and only .066 lower than Rogers. Maroney's scores were correct...it's Paseka's I don't get. That said, I am totally pulling for her to get gold this year. She looks like a different gymnast! It's inspiring.
Adrian A Berger had many form deductions and stepped into the red. Major steps on landing too. Paseka rightfully got her bronze
Adrian A The hate on the commentators is unnecessary. They were complaining about a computer glitch, so they didn't know the exact scores. They weren't complaining about the scores themselfs.
do you saw how Paseka's try to congrats Mckayla and she ignored her min . 34:42
So rude
Did anyone notice how at 30:19 Arthur Akopyan (McKayla´s coach) shushes Larry Nassar? As if he meant to say, "Don´t talk to her"
Awe canada I'm still so proud of you im glad she stopped though before she seriously hurt her ankle
Bravo Sandra Raluca
This was a very kind and supportive crowd.
This is one of the premier events that I enjoy during the summer olympics as well as the swimming and diving.
Still 2022 and I enjoy Sandra’s vault and winning 🏅 gold performance
36:02 This announcer clearly didn't remember what he said. McKayla's score was never readjusted from when it was announced at 30:46 to be 15.083 for a combined score. He was obviously only looking at her score for her first vault that was 15.866 and not the combined average of the two.
completely off topic but izbasa's makeup is on point
36.06 When Octavian Bellu comes to the sidelines to hug Izbasa 🤗 Warms your heart. ❤️ 🏅
Commentators having a ridiculous hard time to accept that Sandra won, everyone knew except them...still confused 😂
Beautiful SANDRA! THE BEST!❤
Sandra Izbasa is probably the most beautiful gymnast that has ever lived! #Romanian beauty
its amazing the fact she is 37 years old and doing better then 18 year olds
People shouldn't try to excuse McKayla's mistakes in this final. First vault she landed one foot out of line and the second one she fell. She looks great in the air, but she messed up so she and all the people defending her should lose their arrogance. She didn't deserve that medal.
Her execution is very well, the reason why she didn't get the gold was because of her mistakes when landing. She is a two time world champion on the vault, that obviously shows that she is superior to the other athletes. She most definitely does not deserve the gold for the performance in the finals, but she most definitely deserves a medal for her technical skills and her execution.
Leeann Mussatt funny that in 2008 when Cheng Fei got the bronze on vault, everyone was saying that it was not fair, this was about the same mess up as Maroney did 2012. 4 years later and with her being American it would be okay if she would have won, WTF? (and remember in 2008 a fall was only 0.8 off) And Cheng Fei was 3 time World Champion 2005,2006 and 2007. what was before or after Olympics does not matter, it is about the moment and Maroney was not superb at all at this moment 2012.
I think her execution score for her second vault was too low.
Some have more difficult skills so they get higher scores
Bela said Cheng's bronze was a rip off, how about Maroney's silver? American fans believe everything should be done for their athletes to win. TOO funny.
Bravo Sandra!!!!
February 2019 and still watching
The height mckayla gets compared to the others is unbelievable
Sandra Izbasa the Best
I do think it's funny that there was so much nervousness about whether Shawn Johnson would get credit for her Amanar in 2008, and Paseka was no where near as far around on hers as Shawn. Now in Glasgow, that's another story. She was terrific.
good try canada! glad she stopped before she got seriously hurt! great courage!
That's a lesson in humility.
Izbasa is absolutely stunning! Poor Maroney... I guess a little too eager for the gold?
Oh well Retton beat Szabo, so I guess mistakes will cost
maseratic boychik yawn yawn yawn.
Too eager for gold? That’s literally everyone competing in the olympics, if they weren’t eager, they wouldn’t even be there lol
She got abused that day
turns out she was injured.
BRUTAL ES SANDRA ISBASA .BRAVO BRAVO.NÚMERO 1
When I get older like that I will be able to do that stuff that they do 😀 Gymnastics is so awesome!
Are you still in gymnastics?
Watching this in 2019 and I freaked out when I saw Larry Nassar .it made my tummy turn a bit when he was getting so close to the girls 😟🤢
Poor Elsabeth black :( glad she didn’t compete her vault though. She knew she wasn’t going to win and possible injury isn’t worth competing a second vault (especially knowing she’d probably fall again).
"we have to wait, this is not making sense, is a computer problem" even the commentators were upset 😂
We are the best ❤️🇷🇴
They weren't upset, they were confused
look at the height she gets off the table and her form in the air. most people twist their legs and pike down during the twist and mckayla is completely straight. it's not just about landing.
Sandra, wow!
i do think there should be bigger deductions for falls. not just in this event.
but i like these commentators compared with elfie and co. they're not all constantly talking about how mackayla is going to win and how much better she is than the current vaulter, when we want to just enjoy the current competitor's efforts.
sandra also seems to be one of the most amazing women. you can never count her out and always seems to be so happy and gracious and loves the sport and the other competitors, no matter if she's in first or last.
You're right. În 2012 olympics she competed în the Floor finals too. She mislanded her last line, so she lost. But she smiled and congratulated everyone. She had the mindset of a true athlet
Seeing Larry close to all these girls, McKayla especially, is very very disturbing knowing what he’s done.
34:42 Maroney refuses to give Maria a hug. So arrogantttttt
Wow , I noticed that . How rude of her.
34:30 I think they already hugged
Yes, she is an arrogant piece - and I'm glad she didn't get gold.
Stop talking trash about her if you haven’t lived it you really don’t know anything
girl shut up imagine being sexually abused and having the worst meet of your life all in one day
30:51 lol the photographers are loving McKayla here
Saw Larry Nassar... vomit!
mariepaulistic oh god yes, and when Janine Berger was sat next to him just wanted to scream “Get away get away from him!!”
Natalie Blackmore me too!!!!
Me too..crazy seeing him even at 2000s trials when Shannon miller fell on vault and he tried to go to her aide..but seem like she didn't want his help and got up right away
Time stamp?
A & E Sisters 10:19
it was so close! there were definitely other contenders for the silver and bronze medals as well!
Sandra
coollobe
coollo
Ugh, these commentators are so irritating. YES, Sandra won. NO, it's not a surprise. If you fall on your ass you shouldn't even qualify for a medal.
Maroney didn't deserve gold, but she did deserve silver because of her first vault-very high start value and solid even though she landed out of bounds. And even though she sat down her second vault it still looked good in the air. Landing on your feet is obviously essential, but it's not the only the thing the score is based on.
they were just surprised because everyone thought she would hit it. yeah she didnt deserve the gold medal after her second vault but she is the best vaulter int he world. everyone thought for sure she would get it no need to hate on the commenters. that is there job lol
Jocelyn Marie Actually now it is Simone
BananaGrabber ok so do this and I will see that about it and u will have feelings for her
Yes Nyamusa no Simone is the 2nd best vaulter
