These commentators are actually really informative and aren't getting on my nerves like they usually do.
Chloe Riley I LOVE SHANNON MILLER

That's because Shannon Miller is a queen and actually knows what she's talking about unlike a certain NBC trio.
shushunovafan totally agree! I love Shannon! She’s kind while being constructive and appreciating all the different gymnasts unique beauty and power.
Chloe Riley asdfgohjombinbimo❤❤❤❤❤❤
No one should ever boo at a gymnast. It doesn't matter who your rooting for, all the woman try very hard. All these girls were AMAZING!
@Sally Vee Which is essentially booing Raisman.
I always hope everyone has their best performance and are scored fairly. It doesn't matter what country they come from.
@@sarahelizavoldy no, your logic is flawed. They're booing not because Raisman's score is 15.6, but because they feel like Ponor's performance was underscored.
@@CountryCowboy008 I wasn't saying that, so don't go there. I'm saying Ponor's fans booing simply because they thought Ponor should have won is essentially booing Raisman. And it is because the mindset is about wanting your favorite person to win, not execution. Ponor did not deserve gold, even though she has amazing lines and is a great gymnast.
@@sarahelizavoldy again, it's flawed. Wanting someone to win doesn't always mean that you don't want the winner to win. Of course they will root for Ponor, she's a legend and what she has achieved is a feat more than getting a gold and, during that time, she's the most recent gymnast to have won 3 gold medals in a single game (only bested by Biles in 2016 with 4). So yes, they're not "essentially booing" Raisman. Because if you believe so, then you should also say that Raisman is celebrating that she kicked Ponor out of the podium during their tiebreaker in Beam Finals. Would you say that?
I have so much respect for Jordyn after rewatching this Olympics. As the reigning world all around champ, she had a reasonable expectation for this Olympics to be her moment. Even when she failed to qualify for the all around, she pulled together a great performance for her team in the team final, and was incredibly supportive of her teammates in the all around and event finals. Even in this final, she still stands here cheering for Aly because she knows Aly can win, with no hard feelings about Gabby and Aly keeping her out of the all around. Jordyn did her best, and the two per country rule screwed her. But she was a great competitor with some truly fantastic sportsmanship. Compare her attitude to Komova's (during team, all around, and event finals), and there is truly no comparing their sportmanship. Aliya was the Russian's sportsman, and she outshone Komova because of that. Medals aren't everything, and the behavior of several athletes at these games really showed that. Kudos to Aliya and Jordyn for their well deserved golds and sportsmanship under pressure, and congratulations to Aly for this floor gold.
bbhouk1 I couldn’t agree more . They were both truly remarkable. Especially Jordan who had such high hopes being the world champ , what a strong young lady. Very impressive attitude
bbhouk1 couldn’t agree more
Well said.
yes!
@Tina Burton What a crappy response to something that happened so long ago. Many of the other gymnasts landed out of bounds as well. Jordyn was competing with a fracture in her foot, BTW. And let's not forget that this entire team (with the exception of maybe Gabby) was molested by the team doctor.
Aly can't be human. That first move was so ridiculous, how she didn't step out of bounds is a mystery to the world.
Ikr!! How is she human?? xD
Aly is amazing!
+Carlos Napooto yay
+Isaiah Lee also Jordan
she didnt win Gold for no reason
6 years later and we discover that she was suffering from a fractured tibia and she was being assaulted by her doctor. My heart breaks for Jordan Wieber
The entire Fierce 5 were assaulted by Nassar and all were suffering from injuries. The harder question is, who at this Olympics was not suffering from injury?
So much stress to be perfect & they have to deal with injuries & being assaulted on top of it. Poor girls.
puzzlepiecelove - as she performed her routine, she appeared to be in so much pain. it makes sense :(
That doctor should be fired
I wish I could Jimin - he’s in jail
This is why that Olympic floor final was the best ever :
1. Ksenia Afanasyeva -2011 floor world champion
2.Jordyn Wieber - 2011 AA world champion
3. Alexandra Raisman 2011 Bronze Floor world champion
4. Catalina ponor 2004 Olympic floor champion
5. Lauren Mitchell -2010 world floor champion
6. Vanessa Ferrari -2006 AA world champion
7.Aliya Mustafina - 2010 AA world champion
8. Sandra Izbasa - 2008 Olympic floor champion
Today I watched the olympics
What my observation is
Raisman of USA and
Aly Mustafina of Russia
Looks Like own Sisters
--Do you agree with me ,,
Descontaram muito a Sandra por ela ter caido de proposito! Ela sentiu muito a mckayla

Thank you for this
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Cannot say enough thank you
*Thank You!*
Thank you very much this helps a lot
Stop bashing Catalina, she had no attitude problems at all, she was just focused on what she had to do, she didn't even smile when they called her name, watch her in 2004 it's the same back then as well. She's just a very focused and determined competitor.!
She kindas smiled. She has a nice energy. I like her and I don't even know her
She performed really clean tho!
Catalina is a beautiful and focused gymnast....loved her routine..I thought she was fabulous.
whos bashing???
@@chunkylover7005 if anything, people are talking about her fans booing and why aly scored higher. I don't see anyone bashing ponor and she did amazing regardless
Shannon Miller should be the commentator for Tokyo, she's the breath of fresh air everone needs right now, always finding the beautiful things in everyone's routines
Exactly! Her voice to me is pure elegance and her way of commenting is just right and not too much.
Nastia is doing a phenomenal job!
We need to hear criticisms its how we the audience learn about the sport and scoring.
@@HarlemSexyBlaqkat Shannon talks about the mistakes but more importantly she talks about the skills. Also what do you learn from repeated comments like "oh boy, there's another fall" or "that's just silly", lmfao. If you want to learn more about gymnastics listen to the British commentators, they are a lot more factual and explain the game.
Am I the only one obsessively watching last years Olympics waiting for this years?
You are not
no you the only one i am too lol
ME TOO LOL
you mean 4 years ago, not last year but yh i obsess over it aswell
After seeing women's gymnastics last night I felt the urge to binge 2012 women's gymnastics.
That has to be one of the most impressive groups of gymnasts in a single EF. Three olympic champions on floor, two world champions on floor, three world AA champions. Imagine if they all had been able to put together their best performance, it would have been even more epic
It's fun to think that the one who won the gold medal is the only one who didn't already got one before (I'm talking about worlds or olympics)
Who’s the third Olympic champion? I know of Catalina and Sandra.
@@12markitoKsenia
Jordyn Wieber has an amazing attitude towards her teammate, you don't see that that often. Congrats, everybody!
She did cheer Aly on before her routine but didn’t seem to acknowledge her afterwards.
Jordyn looked like she was about in tears as she walked off the floor. Just wish I could give her a big hug at that point!
A Ka I know she had been through so much it must have been very painful . She’s true sportsman for keeping her composure like she did. Much respect
Right? Knowing what was happening behind the scenes, PLUS everything happening here.....she was truly a class act, the way she kept her composure and still cheered Aly on.
If she had done it like the team final, that would a been a medal? She was electrifying in the team final but here, she looked so nervous and had many bobbles throughout.
Anyone here reliving the London olympics? For whatever reason that year's was the epitome of olympics for me... I don't think any other will ever beat it
No I definitely liked rio better :) Simone Biles!!!
tbh it's just nice to see a comp that isn't all about Simone. I love her but it's nice to see so many other gymnasts get recognition and compete for the gold instead of Simone basically being handed the gold medal before she competes. When Simone competes there is literally a 95% chance she will win unless something crazy happens like in Rio when she got bronze on the beam. She is an incredible gymnast that deserves the recognition she gets however I feel like all gymnasts competing in huge competitions deserve recognition because what they are doing is still astonishing even if it isn't at the level that Simone is
@@laurenboughey3820 I agree 100% I think that's why men's competition and mainly the team competition is more exciting than the women's one because anyone can win in the women USA win for certain the competition is about the third and second place...
lauren boughey well said, 2016 was definitely one of my least favorite olympics because everything was all about simone. she’s an amazing gymnast don’t get me wrong but she has difficulty like no other coming in and can basically win by doing a cartwheel and saluting. the 2020 olympics should be interesting because there are so many new gymnasts coming in and winning world titles. i’m curious to see if that one will be somewhat close to 2012 :)
Abby Mcwherter
I mean if her routine is so difficult that no other gymnast dares to match her there, that’s just a compliment for her. It takes a lot of courage to do a tough routine on the world stage.
People aren't listening to the announcers. It's not rigged, Raisman's difficulty level was higher, and she executed it so great. Catalina and Ally were both amazing, but the judges scored correctly according to the difficulty level. (6.2 Catalina, 6.5 Ally)
avenge_art amen !!!!
I thought Alys was the best flippin routine out of anyone's regardless. Even if gymnastics had no scoring system, she still would have won XD But yeah the announcers said that Aly's score was the highest they've seen! 15.6... Only one who has had higher was Simone Biles at the Rio olympics
avenge_art Aly’s gymnastics here was simply superb!!!❤️❤️❤️
I think so too
I mean... you don’t even have to listen to the announcers, you just have to watch at the screen when the scores are on, there’s a place called “difficulty”
Catalina Ponor is poetry in motion. And this was 2012...8 years AFTER she was the Olympic gold medalist on floor in 2004. I love seeing this new longevity in women’s gymnastics...POST pubescent women were pushed out for so many years.
My favourite moments:
3:34, that was amazing. Such a powerful gymnast. I'm so sorry she wasn't at her best that day.
I loved the way Jordin danced! Great skills, too! But just look at that pose! 6:32
11:14 amazing as well. She can almost fly. No wonder she was the captain!!
14:50 perfect landing. Catalina is so graceful as well, her moves made her routine so beautiful to watch. Age? What age?
Lauren surprised me! What a great routine!!! So precise with the music! And always smiling, that's priceless.
23:31 Look at her hands! Wow such grace. Powerful finish!!!!
26:40 Aliya is so beautiful to watch. Those looks! Those moves! And this! 26:55
32:00 I suffered with her. I'm so sorry, it was so beautiful to watch! No wonder she is Romanian!
All in all, I think it was a great event. The judges were correct because the podium was only with the best. I think these Olympics were beautiful for gymnastics.
otrocaffe
I like your review:)
I love how you say something positive for each competitor
Did you write that down? How did you have time to remember all that.
I thought that lady in the black was a contestant but she was just a worker for the Olympics lol
me too lol she should've stood somewhere else
+MissMaddieMakeup Ohh 👍
I know she looked like she was about to
Be announced! 😂
the camera man thought so too.. haha
Me too
Can I just say Aly Raismans performance was amazing
2020! THREE YEARS BUT STILL EXCITED! Who else is?
About a year and a half now
Sofia Cobbledick me me me
Ten months now!
I can't wait!!
less than a year now 💓
Ponor just did not have a higher difficulty value than Raisman. Their execution was very similar since both performed very well but Aly's opening tumbling pass was seriously amazing and difficult.
Sergio Flores My Teachers Name Ks Mr.Flores
Sergio Flores ponors triple twist wasn’t very good either. Her legs crossed like crazy.
Their execution was the same it was all just the difficulty (E-9.1)
@@lightitupaldc9247 ponor's execution was 9.0.
Airton 13 not nearly as bad as Catalina. Also aly already outscores Catalina in difficulty so even if they have the same execution, aly still wins.
Love Aliya's wave and smile to the crowd after her routine. So sweet =)
These commentators are so amazing?
They are so informative and their voices sound so nice and calm!
The girl is Shannon Miller, she’s a legendary gymnast!
Aly Raisman starts at 11:00
Thanks! She's my favorite
+Lauren Bohn same
You're a legend. Thanks.
Thanks I was wondering why so many comments were mentioning the difficulty of her routine XD
thanks!!
aliya's music is so dramatic, i love it!

Such powerful women, muscles and still make this look so easy!! My respects. Amazing all of them
omg CLEARLY aly was the best on this day. Stuck landings plus good form in the tumbling. She deserved at least a 9 in execution. But even if Cata had scored a 9.1 and Aly a 9.0, Aly would still have won by 2 tenths because of her difficulty score that gave her such an advantage in this final. I don't think those who are complaining truly appreciate the difficulty of Aly's first pass, tbh.
I loved Catalina’s performance! So clean and powerful!
the grace, execution and the performance were impeccable. it's just that her difficulty level is lower than raisman's.
Lol the opening of Ferrari's music is what played in the background of the slow-mo of Maroney's near-perfect vault. People were saying how that coincidentally came at the right moment and made the vault 10x more epic xD
TRUE
I love that moment, it's just too perfect.
I thought someone had added that in! haha
Now ima rewatch it
Sylvia Garcia me too
I love Mustafina's overall line and extension in her dance and choreo
i just hate it when people assume Aliya is snobby! she’s actually one of the sweetest, and gets along with all of the other gymnasts well. her sportsmanship shines through!
In the NBC broadcast of this final you see her give a thumbs up to Aly and say something along the lines of good job.
I love that everyone but Aly had already proven themselves in this final. Ponor and Izbasa, both individual champions in 04 and 08. Then Ferrari, Wieber, and Mustafina who were all AA World Champions. Afanasyeva and Mitchell were both floor champions in the last two years.
MaxRenaud1
!v
To think Ferrari has been competing internationally (as a senior) since 2006 AND has participated in 4 olympics is incredible. Not Chusovitina’s longevity but still very impressive. She truly deserved that silver medal !
Catalina ponor since the 2004 Olympics
I can't believe 2012 was now 8 years ago, so glad you put this up. One of the best floor routines I've ever seen, and she just nailed everything, so well deserved, can't state that enough.
Man, watching this again makes me hate my decision to quit gymnastics 😩😂
Why did you quit?
Same
omg sameeeee
Ponorr much underscored. And mustafina too
Rasmayn gold. Of izbasa fall
Catalina's routine was more vigorous and caught my eye, but the true winner was Raisman. The judges were right.
I have to agree with this too.
Catalina's difficulty was .3 lower than Aly's, but I thought she (Catalina) seemed underscored a bit for execution. I think Catalina's execution score should have been at least a 9.2 or 9.3 - she would still be in second but that score just seemed a bit low.
QPHashSS77 majority of likes Scott w wins
@@scottw9318 Catalina's landings were awesome, but we can't pretend to ignore her atrocious leg form. Same for Aliya and Vanessa, I mean I understand they were injured and Aly was probably the only one in that final who was healthy, but Aly's form (only on floor) was pretty amazing, better than Cata, Aliya and Vanessa
I also loved Catalina's routine it was more eye catching and artistic combined with the technical. Perfect for me :)
Catalina has an artistry that no one can touch. And I don't mean just frou-frou moves: the artistry is present throughout the whole routine. She looks so graceful all the time. :)
spacetiime 100% agree she’s always captivating to watch
I found her to be head and shoulders more captivating to watch than anyone. Everything was so clean and precise, especially those whips!
Everyone can learn from Sandra Izbasa’s wonderful personality, attitude, and humility.
She got last place, but she shrugged, then SMILED and waved at the crowd! Truly an Olympian to admire that she can make a mistake and not get too upset about it to forget how amazing and lucky she is to be so successful.
I had just come from rewatching the vault final and decided I didn’t like Sandra for beating McKayla. But McKayla was so rude about losing that it made me sad to see someone I thought I admired act that way when she lost. Coming to watch this, I didn’t want to like Sandra. But watching her gracious reaction to last place made me realize I could never not like her. She’s awesome. I’m gonna go watch her other routines now!
I loved Sandra since I saw her win floor in 2008, she’s just such a lovely person and competitor.
Sandra is probably one of my favorite gymnasts ever. Her winning FX in Beijing is my happy place.
my opinion is that raisman just out did ponor. ponor's difficulty was lower than raismans and there were a lot of tiny tiny errors in her performance. i feel that the judges judged fairly and that they gave each gymnast the score that they deserve
Yes , but I still wish Artistic Gymnastics didn't break ties.. Why do we have to be the only sport that does that?
@@annapavfan4680 I wish Aly shared that bronze All-Around with Aliya so badly!
Came because I wanted to see Raisman but wow 14:49 Catalina was absolutely fabulous to watch. She is amazing
The last girl to perform, from romania... Even though she fell, I love her routine because her music is PINK FLOYD!
Def my fave floor music too ❤❤❤❤ PF is one of my ultimate faves 💯🫶
aly’s score made me tear up with happiness, and it’s been 8 years. wow
This was my very first gymnastics competition I watched on youtube in august 2013 and it is my favorite to watch. I have watched it so many times.
People hating on Aly because Ponor's routine was more "beautiful" should watch dance or acro gymnastics, where artistry is part of the score (unlike WAG). Until then, accept that she had less difficulty and slightly worse execution and got second fairly.
YES omg I totally agree
I'm so glad someone like you could explain why Aly won!!!
Most Europeans think it's all about how good their gymnastics looks when performing!!!
Americans gymnasts win in power and executions!!!
And this is why Gabby Douglas won over viktoria Komova!
Artistic gymnastics has artistry in the score you doofus
+Lüc Dança wait she won i didnt finish watching it yet :c way to spoil it fo rme XD
Yeah but not as big as actual execution and difficulty overall. If you have a good combination of exeuction, difficulty and artistry or play what you do have have really well while the others are at least presentable, don't expect to place very high let alone earn a medal
8 years later and I just realize the commentator at 15:37 said “she’ll give the judges fever with this performance.” And Ponor’s floor music is called “Fever.”
all the people In the comments kinda ripping Aly apart bc they think Ponor's routine was better and she should have won. Don't understand the difficulty aspect of it. Ponor didn't do nearly the kind of tumbling Raisman did. She had a gorgeous routine (despite the crossed legs in the double full she did) her dance skills were great. They even said it no one had the difficulty that raisman did. Period.
Catalina Ponor my God,she was breathtaking..What a woman.!!A rare species nowadays really.

What is this comment
Aly was Absolutley amazing! Her landings were so clean!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I'm actually just so interested at how small Vanessa Ferrari is, her size is adorable but she has so much power and skill in such a small body, lovely
Creep. If it's not a bully trashing her down for no reason we have p edos
@@fenecofeneco19 OP worded their comment a bit weirdly but dude, she was 22 in that video. Also Ferraris nickname is literally 'Tiny Dynamo'.
This lineup is gymnastics royalty including 4 of my favorites ever: Aliya, Sandra, Ksenia and Catalina.
This was a very exciting final event.
Sandra R's fall at end is heartbreaking . The whole performance is sooo powerful and spot-on ; I was convinced she'd take gold ' until that moment . She held it together magnificently ; just that little frown and shrug* You are ALL amazing*
P.S. I don't have a t.v. (by design) so am seeing all this for the first time .
Aly's amazing performance is at 10:58, I just love coming back to it, everyone else was so talented as well
Aly Raisman killed it!!
I always loved the perfomance of Jordyn and Alexandra. Aliya is amazing too. I love them
Can we just stop for a second to admire Ksenia's artistry?
not possible! She is stunning! :)
Amazing choreography. Her performance is my favorite.
And then there's me, who does a forward roll and feels like a pro.
the russians and the romanians are so beautiful to watch on floor
kuraudiu because they actually train in classic ballet
kuraudiu I agree. And the Karolyis are right - Most American gymnasts are fat, short (legs & body), stocky. They look heavy & muscular: Raisman, Wieber, Sacramone, Johnson, Peszek, Bross, Sloan.
Ross, Maroney & Liukin are on the slender side. Liukin is Russian by ethnicity hence her slim built.
RoyalScam none of the people you listed are fat. But not everyone can be Russian not everyone can be born with that kind of body. They are all simply working with what they’ve got instead of pretending to be what they aren’t and it’s actually working for them.
RoyalScam stfu. How dare you call those beautiful women fat. This is why so many women are insecure. BecAuse of bullshit people like you calling them fat when they are not
yeah for sure! Those two European countries kill it on floor!!
the american was impressive. but my heart went to ponor. i found her perfect. can t understand 9.00 for execution...and what a longevity for an athlete! imagine she was olympic champion at floor and beam in 2004 and silver at floor in 2012 and still european champion at beam in 2017!!! she is incredible
U.S is always just so bold with their routines. So beautiful to watch.
I liked Alexandra raisman floor routine
Omg me two my favorite
My f
Brianna Kaz TOO NOT TWO KINDERGARDENER
Army?
Can we talk about how amazing this final is? Literally every competitor is a world/Olympic champion on floor or a world all around champion! Increíble!
Some of these comments make me wonder if there is some vendetta against Raisman. She was the best, no question. Insane difficulty + Great execution = Clear winner. If anyone was overscored it was Mustafina (9.0, wtf), and I say that as a Musty fan.
Shatarupa mmkkďöui
Lol she's American. That's the vendetta
Lol that is the only reason they need to hate on her
Julia McGowan unfortunate. You cannot be mad at the athletes in a program who are taught and coached and conditioned to do the hardest routines, the most reps, the most sets, and being at peak physical and mental readiness. The rest of the world needs to step up. We will see in 2020.
Sandra Izbaşa would likely have scored 15.400 if she hadn’t fell on the last tumble - silver behind Raisman due to difficulty, however the most beautiful routine of the competition
Yes true
Yes
No offence, but Americans have ruined gymnastics. Their routines are such an eyesore, IDGAF about difficulty.
Perhaps the greatest lineup of 8 athletes to ever compete for a floor exercise Olympics championship ever! All 8 names of these ladies are synonymous with female artistic gymnastics greatness today. If I had to put together a 'dream team' they would all be on it.
Aly had a higher start value than Catalina, Aly did her floor exercise pretty well and Catalina's performance wasn't exactly perfect either and that is why Aly had a higher chance of winning the gold medal. Why don't people get it? Just because Catalina's performance had more artistry doesn't automatically make her the winner. People claimed that gymnastics isn't all about the acrobatics but gymnastics is not all about the artistry either. I wish people would understand that.
This! Artistry matters and I agree there's not enough of it these days, BUT it's only one aspect of gymnastics. This debate is so played out.
I really enjoy Kseniia's style. Too bad she didn't do all she's capable of. It would have been nice to see her medal.
After watching the trial, I have a new respect for Ally and our women! What concentration they have!
The trick is, if you feel as though you're going to stumble on the landing, do some kind of leap (like at 6.56) to avoid deductions
But she went out of bounds
My coach always told me to make fails look planned.
+Carlos Napooto The only problem is that everybody can see that a mistake happened

*Windows 10 isn't designed very well
That's smart on there part by doing stag jumps and split leaps and imidiate pile or Arabians or punches but the problem is if you run too far you will go out of bounds
Alexandra Raisman from the U.S.A was amazing. So was Catalinas Ponor and Lauren Mitchell.
Aly certainly deserved the win with the code and her d score, but Ponor. Wow. No one can deny that her form, artistic quality, and attention to detail was the best of any competitor
Aly's routine amazing that opening pass was steller!
If this were a men's competition no one would complain about Ally winning despite a lack of artistry. They are athletes, not pretty little dancers.
But they are girls and rules are not the same so that comparison is quite stupid.
A woman is not a man, they are quite different I assure you.
Dan Rabkin it's still called 'artistic' gymnastiscs, sweetie
Yes we all know it's called Artistic gymnastics but it's changed over the years and is such a physically demanding athletic sport. Don't hate on me but honestly, I don't care about the dancing or artistry. People now understand how hard this sport is because of the focus on the amazing skills they do.
shushunovafan
So what is a man? Robotic? Ugly? Bland? Unexciting? Clumsy? Stiff? Seriously? I’m a guy and this whole female/male thing where men are hunking balls of meat that aren’t capable of artistry or grace and women are nothing but little ballerinas with less of a drive for acquiring advanced skill has to stop.
Let people be who THEY want to be. A graceful man? Why not? A women who excels most in sheer technique? Sure. A mix of any of them? Yes. Let them do what they like, male or female.
I feel so bad for Sandra Izbasa. It was such a clean gorgeous routine up until that last pass, she could have easily taken silver or bronze but she got last just for that one mistake.
Aly and Catalina are amazing.....
I love how at the beginning (when they're being introduced) the two Americans wave like "Hey mom, I'm in the Olympics!" and the other athletes are all business.
oft
That's even funnier after learning about Aly's mum remark about parents of Olympic athletes 😂
6+ yrs later and Mihai's fist pump during the replay gets me every time. Aly's leaps, her form, and those killer landings here were the best she looked (IMO). Dont get me wrong, what she did in '16 was unbelievable, but this routine is my fave from her. Stellar. Also, this routine was masterfully choreographed for her style of gymnastics. Perfection.
Guys! The difficulty matters to! Stop hating just because your country didn't win
Exactly. The nationalism in the comment section of literally every gymnastics video is unbearable.
i remember watching this years ago and starting gymnastics mainly due to aly’s amazing routine. still shook to this day
La elegancia de Ponor y Mustafina está muy por encima de las piruetas y acrobacias del resto, es lo que hace a la gimnasia artística: ARTÍSTICA
@EliasCoronado-lm8qr lo dice Elias de 36 años del Estado de Morelos que en su vida ha hecho ejercicio.
E vertete
@EliasCoronado-lm8qr Ponor nuk ka kthesa te tmerrshme por salto shume te bukura.Por Raisman ne pamundesi per te realizuar saltot e veshtira perdor nje truk qe nuk penalizohet duke u kthyer menjehere pas saltos.
Aliya Mustafina looks so young here!And 4 years later she's married
...and then divorced!
mjamitche5 she got divorced?
She has a baby. Didn't know she got divorced.
@@mjamitche5245 so??
@@davidbarnett9312 yes she is
9.1 execution on floor fir Aly is CRAZY. That is a huge execution score for floor. Love Aly.
That first pass is stunning, even now, 12 years later!
Catalina Ponor's performance is flawless.. Should have won the gold medal.
Yes!
Claro más limpia
Didn’t have the difficulty, crossed ankles in triple, leg separation in double pike and too long of pause for connection with back tuck. Aly ate her up on difficulty and execution. Ponor’s routine was great but not gold.
Both of their routines were clean on all four passes but both gymnasts had form issues. The difference between gold and silver came down to the D-score.
I was shook when Shine on you crazy diamond started playing, love it
Anyone notice Ksenia Holding a stuffed bear? She's so cute, love her;)
Raisman was incredible but Catalina Ponor's performance was mesmerizing 🤩
Aly was so smart. She watched what happened to the other gymnasts when they landed in those corners and how overly springy the floor was, and she stayed far away from the corners so that she didn't go out of bounds. Not only did she win off of talent, her wisdom played a big part.
Update: In fact it looks like others followed suit. I feel bad for the first two performers. The others probably had their coaches warning them that they needed to adjust.
They all competed on this floor in qualifications and most of them kn team/all around finals. They all knew. However they can't always stay away from the corners, depending on the length of the tumbling pass
I love how Aly walks really slowly right past Catalina-17:39😂😂😂😂
omg just about to comment that lol. Aly isn't slick 😂😂
i just noticed that HAHAHA
and her face ! 😂😂😂
I had to watch that a few times XD
lol
I could watch Aly's routine over and over :') She so deserved it! No competition.
You are 100% accurate!
maxencebeaulieu sorry but YOU are wrong. No one had a start value close to Aly. They all knew it. Don't insult people when you are clearly wrong and uninformed
maxencebeaulieu and her triple twist was ATROCIOUS
I could hear aly whispering "yes!" when she saw her score💖 really amazing btw, i was looking out for her in this
Honestly Ponor looks like one of those villains in the movies.
Yeah,haha. She's got a really pretty,long face. Has a smirk. She's got the beauty and mystery of a super villain.
she is pretty hot in a villain-y way
+a cynic Aly's hotter I think
If one was there for the looks , that one with eyes had no ,,,,,.,'"
I think she's absolutely gorgeous
Ponor's start value was only a 6.2 not a 6.4. And to be honest very few if any in the floor final can dance. It's about the tumbles. Everyone knows that even if they don't like it. No since worrying about it now. Its over. it's just a sport. Not the end of the world.
Actually it was 6.4 but in the final it was downgraded either because of her quad spin not being completely round or the connection on her second pass or something like that
who cares if they can't dance it doesn't even count to the score so who gives
lexi waters Pretty sure if there was no dancing then they would lose a lot of points. So contrary to your beliefs dancing does count to the score. It would be like watching the men compete all they do are the tumbles and a jump every now and then.
This is the plain truth and it comes down to the fact that artistry and dancing can be so subjective. As with the technical aspect of very difficult tumbling is much easier and more fair to see and deduct mistakes. That’s why no one even can close to Simone Biles in 2016 , her coaches knew exactly what they’re doing with her insanely difficult tumbling and super high start values. I feel it’s kind of a shame I agree artistry should hold more value than it does now but I don’t make the rules lol
Aliya Mustafina's my favourite but I wish Sandra could medal here. She was spectacular if you forget the fall for a moment.
My heart breaks for Izbaza! She is poetry in motion.
That 3rd one was amazing!
She had such clean landings!
Her power and execution were incredible
I love Raisman! She's so strong
Love how aly goes "wow" at the end.. Haha you said it!
Personally, I liked Kseniia's dance moves! Too bad she stepped out couple of times..
