Shannon and Shawn… my two all time favorite beam workers.
I don't think you're a beam specialist though if you win AA medals.
@@MsJubjubbird you don’t have to ONLY do beam alone to be someone who’s specialty is beam! Many AA medalists had a signature event. Look at Svetlana Khorkina, she won 3 AA world titles and is still the undisputed queen of bars!!
@@saragrant9749 you don't have to only do beam. But if you're winning aa medals then you are pretty good at everything, even if beam is your preferred event.
Same! ❤
I am the same… when I was a kid, I remember watching Shannon (all summer my friend and I were doing somersaults in the backyard pretending to be Shannon). When I grew up, Shawn’s beam routine in 2008 was another I always remembered. Don’t remember a lot of gymnast (because I only watched every four years) but those two names were ingrained in my memory and I watched the whole video just to see them specifically.
Shawn Johnson has the most difficult beam routine and made it look effortless and Shannon Miller has the elegance while still having difficult elements. Also Cheng Fei’s opening combo pass was jaw dropping, whole routine was incredibly. Shawn and Shannon are undeniably the BEAM QUEENS!
Agreed ! Shannon miller beam routine greatest of all time ! Miss the 90s gymnastics !
@@laurennexxzcc-xxeley5280I miss 90’s gymnastics too. It was cleaner, cleverer, better…✨♥️
How come we don’t see these mounts anymore and this degree of grace? Plus, stellar landings.
Shannon Miller was graceful, controlled and innovative. She was a master on the beam
I appreciate that you went the extra mile to include different footage of the same routine.
Yes! It kept being copyrighted, I really tried to still keep a footage from EF
Catalina Ponor, amazing!
I always loved her beam routine, it was fun to watch.😊
For some reason she is completely new to me. How I ever missed her is beyond me. Her speed in connections of unbelievably difficult tumbling series is just otherworldly. Honestly I think she is number 1. Period. I live Miller and Shawn Johnson is also up there but goddamn.
Absolutely love Sanne Wevers routines-as the commentary said, so stylish and different. A beautiful gymnast and deserving gold medalist 🥇Thanks for the video 👍
The sound the beam makes when Shawn hits everything perfectly is so satisfying.
I love Nastia’s beam so much!
Shawn Johnson had THE most difficult routine bar none. Shannon Miller’s is the most elegant and unique. When I think of the beam, I think of those queens!
Lu li /Lysenko Millers 2nd performance was something else ,just outstanding ply perfect
Shannon is perfection! ❤
Shannon Miller just became the beam goat for me!!!
I remember seeing most of these. Shannon was one of my mom's favorites and for good reason, her elegance and grace knew no boundaries!! Shawn made her whole routine look effortless and that's the entire point of beam, that and to look like they mastered the apparatus.
Quite unbelievable that nobody managed to win two gold medals on beam.
And your compilation videos always intrigue me to delve deeper into the evolution of photography technology - especially the floaty motions through the lenses of early 2000s.
Nadia Comaneci was the only one to ever win 2 golds on Beam.
But even at Worlds, Simone was the only one able to win more than 2 golds on Beam
It really shows how tough the event is- 4 inches is not a lot of real estate to work on.
@@saragrant9749 I think once the girls go through puberty it's a lot harder to balance on a narrow surface.
@@MsJubjubbird I definitely don’t disagree. It takes even more training, an adjustment to the methodology after the age of 18-19 to keep your body in that kind of stabile shape. Not impossible, but definitely more challenging.
Shannon Miller awesome
Shannon and Catalina Will be always my favs. Love them
Shawn is my favourite. Very sure on the beam.
Carly Patterson was glorious. As underwhelming as I sometimes found her gymnastics, this routine was simply divine 😍 poetry in motion. A real credit to Valeri's coaching.
Shannon Miller's routines... wow
Really nice compilation, thank you!
Catalina, My total Beam Queen ❤😊🎉
Lysenko's routines always amaze me
Nastia Liukin the most graceful
But what exactly is being judged here if not medals? Artistry? Line? Form? Presentation? Exemplary demonstration of balance? How are the points calculated?
This list includes gymnasts who placed in the Top 8, so someone like Pavlova who had 2 4th place finishes but no individual medal finished higher than gymnasts with a single Bronze or Silver medal.
Artistry, beauty, grace
Artistry, beauty, grace
Miller, Lysenko and Lobaznyuk😍 not in this video but love Yvonne Tousek on beam too
I’d end up in the hospital trying to walk from one end to the other
And I'd be right behind you. LOL!
Tatianna was amazing! Shannon, Shawn and Katelyn I love too!
The crazy thing about this is that the beam isn’t necessarily the strongest apparatus for some of these athletes. Simone Biles’ strengths are vault and floor. And Lu Li was Olympic champion on the uneven bars (with a perfect 10, no less). That says something about just how good they are.
Lu Li yes!
The British commentator tried to sell Lilia winning beam in 1996. She was always so negative towards Shannon while pretending to be nice.
Gina Gogean, the favourite!
I think Comaneci should have been included. She is the most revolutionary with her handsprings, stretched legs, command and combinations.
@@callmej5337 1992 to 2021…
Elena Produnova a total Tiger here.
Henrietta Onodi
Lu Li for me. But some fabulous routines, so much grace and the way they link the acrobatics and balance work so seamlessly. Lysenko, Ponar and Miller too. Simone Biles looks mediocre by comparison.
People who have done backflips on the beam, does it hurt? 2:43 because this sounds painful
Simone is like GOAT but those wolf turns on beam need to go. Looks so inelegant, sorry
The 90's were gymnastics best era, nowadays the athletes are more focused in executing safe moves to gain maximum points without any artistic skills
Thanks for uploading ... but the switching between the same routine with Hernandez is almost schizoid. Why can't you just stay with the one routine? And the editing is choppy.
I can’t stay with the same routine because the video was being blocked due to copyright
Agree with Shannon but def Yang Bo should be in the top 3 PERIOD. No one was quite the master as her. Position wise and control she is hard to beat when you look at it all.
Are you stupid? Did you not read the description?
This was based off medals, and Yang Bo was so inconsistent she earned virtually no international medals- and none at the Olympics.
shannon and nastia my fave
Sublime cos no easy feat trying t walk this extremely thin plank
I am agree with you
Great footage!, Do you have the full side angle routine of Nastia?
It’s here: th-cam.com/video/WOkqcBPaiYo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qYrlqCW3F72mb7hg
Lysenko gets a full score with THOSE leaps?
They were at essentially full, almost over split. This angle doesn’t give you that viewpoint. Her routine was incredibly smooth.
I thought Yang Bo would be included.
sui lu should move further
11th is soooooooo underrated among all.
I went OMG at the part where John goes "Shannon's dad video tapes his daughter...used those video tapes...." and I was like WTF? Call the FBI! Then I realised it was how you edited it.
Simone Biles gehört für mich nicht auf Platz 3 zu wackelig
I never did rate Prodinova (maybe spelt wrong) she was far too heavy handed with moments - fast hard and aggressive
Sane W. should be removed from this list. She is specialist in spins and NOTHING else.
Thank you so much for this comment!! I hate her routines, she can't do anything except of spins. And won gold for this 😂
❤
Very odd scoring. People with no tumbles and numerous stumbles getting 16+ points
And people with numerous difficult tumbles and perfect routines getting 8 or less.
Maybe the judging changed over time. Not sure..
I feel the scoring is a lot more consistent now than it used to be.
And simone biles grasping on to the beam for over a second is a bit ridiculous. It’s equal to falling of frankly. How does this get bronze medal? Come on.
man i really wanted to be able to do what gymnasts do but life isn't fair for most so...
Yeah i wanted to be a gymnast so bad my whole life but they didn’t really have that where i live so i did my own thing as a kid but later just couldn’t-adulthood. But i have such butning drsire to do it i can’t explain it. Guess the universe mixed and matched wrong this time😁
Quiet enough to hear a pin drop .. when Nastia was up. Not 🚫 a single sound .. compared to the ither girls. Eerie .... ((I like her. Just weried. Be quiet, especially for Nastia))
A lot of great beam work here, but none as beautiful to watch as Nastia.
What a joke..
Neither are Elena Mukhina, the greatest female gymnast who ever lived!
RIP....
Excepto Nastia y Shannon, pero las demás atletas estadounidenses, no son nada artísticas, son toscas y duras.
Was enjoying the video until i saw Hernandez with 2 different riutines spliced into 1; costume change back and forth. CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP. Show one routine through, Channel
I wish I could upload only 1 routine, but the video was being blocked due to copyright. Do you really think I really wanted to mix 2 videos? The only way I found to still use a footage from the Olympics was by doing that.
Fans be ready. Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, Acts 3:19
Thank you, this was for me🙏
I would have liked to see Larissa Iordache & Dominque Moceanu on here
Same, but neither could hit at the Olympics in beam finals.
Horrid routines. Bareley ant art or Grace
I'd forgotten about Guan Chenchen . . .Great choices
When I saw the picture I immediately knew it was Shannon Miller...her and Dominique Moceanu we're two of my favorites. Not a day goes by that I don't miss gymnastics or have the dreaded what if question.
Don’t forget about Amy Chow, Svetlana Boginskaya, Daniela Silivas, Lavinia Milosovic, Kelly Garrison-Steves, Aly Raisman, and Dominique Dawes❤❤❤❤
Gymnastics. The most beautiful sport.
Yes. Ive always loved watching gymnastics ❤
@@audio91000Yes!!!!!!
@@audio91000Simone Biles is an icon. But in my heart Nadia Comenesci overcome so many osbstacles, a country in turmoil, she hardly had enough to eat. At 14 she got perfect 10s. Both are incredible, too many stars to mention.
Not when you keep falling 😂
horrible editing
@@ceenone3310 You have your channel, you can make your own videos. Good luck
Catalina Ponor y Shawn Johnson son mis favoritas de toda la vida. Su trabajo en la viga es realmente increíble.
Creo que Sanne Wevers está muy arriba en la lista, aunque sus saltos gimnásticos y sus giros son muy buenos, es muy limitada en la parte acrobática (solo es mi humilde opinión).
Laurie changes Leo’s during the video…
😂😂😂
Quick change artist lol
Lilia Podkopayeva has the beauty of a Ballerina ..
Dominique ❤ Nastia ❤ Yang Yilin
amazing video
Catalina Ponor from Rumania
I am at gymnastic efficient Edo and I can’t believe that she got a bronze medal by falling off the beam or holding onto the beam with her front. Flip, I mean shouldn’t have gotten the bronze. I don’t care how many points she has or what the difficulty is if you fall off the beam, you should not be able to getting metal at the Olympics
In 2016 it was a 0.5 point deduction only (now it’s 1 point), she used to score 15.6+ with her beam, while the rest would score a 15(If we exclude the top 2) at their very best, but they also didn’t perform 100%.
In that beam final, only the top 2 didn't have mistakes on their routine, the rest was a little bit SHAKY
Where is Aliya Mustafina
This video is about results at Olympics, she didn’t make finals
@@gymnasticfan9148 thanks for your reply
I would more call this "people who are good at beam" than beam specialists. AA medalists at either worlds or the Olympics are not specialists
Eremia is often overlooked in the history books but she was a great beam worker
When you edit and upload your own video, you can call it whatever you like.
