Same. Like I literally went yuck

Yes. Absolutely disgusting... shame on USAG

brad simms Me too. It’s really sad. I saw the Athlete A documentary on Netflix.😔

and shame on marta for allowing it to happen. grooming p.o.s.

Kaye Dubb I know right! At least USA Gymnastics is like the Phoenix: it’s rising from the ashes. 😊🔥

or about Aly Raisman and the uneven bars, "this is NOT her strongest event..."

You’ll be dead!

@@coldplaylover89 Add on Sarah Finnegan, Jordyn Wieber etc

Both on the pirouette and on the flight skills after!

and she didn’t lose her form either ugh we have to stan

And then she STUCK the dismount!

ikr she was so underrated!!! She gave a fantastic AA performance at the trials!

@ciara beth considering she made it as an alternate, had some of the highest difficulty, then proceeded to become one of the best gymnasts in NCAA, clearly she doesn't 'suck'

@ciara beth she's a terrible person? Have you ever even met the girl? Her form wasn't perfect, but these days very few gymnasts have perfect form. Not to mention, she did NOT fall constantly, and I'm pretty sure she has the record for most consecutive hit routines in the NCAA, so clearly falling isn't her issue

@ciara beth name a gymnast who hasn't fallen.... I'll wait. I'm pretty sure falling is built into the sport. Second: at least in April of this year she had the record with 161, I can't find what Maggie Nichols has. Either way, she at least had the record, and that's a lot. Third: character attacks do nobody any good, fourth: can you prove it? Do you know her? What EXACTLY has she said that proves she's racist or homophobic?

@ciara beth okay first of all I have this thing called a job. Believe it or not I don't live in the comments section of KZfaq. And again I ask, what SPECIFICALLY makes her racist or homophobic? You can't just accuse someone, you have to prove it. And yes. I'm aware she fell multiple times. But again I say: EVERYONE FALLS SOMETIMES. That's the nature of the sport. It happens. Every gymnast falls. You can find multiple videos of every gymnast currently competing falling. That's not unique to her. You can not like her all you want, but you can't deny that the girl is talented and determined.

And 2019 wolf turn is the ugliest turn you can make

Now signature of the goat Simone!!!

It should’ve stayed in 2012 lol ugliest skill ever

John Suen I think it’s a beautiful and impressive move. I guess depending on who’s doing it lol

@Michelle simone was the first to do three turns in a row in that position and doing also faster than everybody did or before. Then yes it justifies that it is now one of her many signatures...

It’s sooooooo gooooood

I never get tired of watching her here or winning the gold on floor in the Olympics.

She was the best vaulter in the world by a mile. Such a shame she fell the one time it mattered most

@@Aaron-rd3cd i know.. i’m still sad about that

Still think that if you get silver with a fall on 1/2 vaults, your true talent cannot be denied, even if you didn’t win it all.

@@KatieLHall-fy1hw Agreed. Plus she fell on the vault with the lower difficulty. Her amanar is what really set the bar high for her, especially since she stuck it better than I've seen anyone ever do. Vault is so underscored now, that'd probably be impossible unless you use a super difficult vault like the produnova or biles

My favourite of this team by far. Rare combination of elegance and power.

YES

This was the first Olympics I ever watched and Gabby was first big Olympic athlete that I knew and admired.

“There's two things that pressure can do. Pressure could either break, or it could make diamonds. Pressure could either bust pipes or it can create and make diamonds. You choose what to do for it, or what to do with it, remember that.” Only competition brings out the best performance. Unfortunately, that requires winners AND losers.

For real

​@@igloozoo3771Ok, but they're human, not rocks...

@@albarjas8360 If everyone wins, then nobody actually wins. Gold Medals for everyone is injustice not fairness.

Its incredibly heartbreaking that all of the fierce 5 were abused by him. Thank goodness that monster was put away!

Mariasol Nevada looks like your last 2 brain cells decided to make a guest appearance in the comment section

@Mariasol Nevada what do you even mean? are you trying to sound ignorant? or just trying to stir up drama to get some attention?

Just block MARIASOL NEVADA... SHES DISRESPECTFUL AND NO ONE WANTS TO READ HER COMMENTS OR WANTS HER ON HERE

And NASSAR is in the past and needs to be left there so these girls and the gymnastics community can move on and grow stronger

those coaches are anything but cute. I agree with about Elizabeth Price though. Absolutely amazing!!!

idk elizabeth is amazing!!!!

@@kyleswingle5844What’s your issue with her coaches!? I haven’t heard anything bad about Bill and Donna Straus!

First Name Last Name yes! i’m rooting for her so hard!

Yep...and who's making a COMEBACK in 2020? CHELSEE!!

With Marta picking the team Chellsie unfortunately did not have a better chance to make the team than even out of shape Nastia. Marta even admitted if Nastia hit just one bar routine she was putting her on the team. She couldn't even manage that so missed it. Still that gives her far higher odds than Chellsie had.

wasn't memmel injured and that forced her end to end her career anyway?

Maybe at that point her "career" was"ended". But NOW SHES COMING BACK!!!!! #chellsieisback

What a swamp donkey he is

Me to larry nassar is a scumbag.

Me too. At least he is serving a life sentence. He will never get bail. He’s done.

DO NOT MENTION THE SLIMY NESLER THAT FOREVER WILL BE ON RECORD IN GYMNESTICS, TOO BAD.

After being checked out by *dun dun dun* Larry Nassar.

Kelly Stout she went to the hospital.

Yeah

Right? It hurts even more knowing how injured she was during this time and at the Olympics and the horrors she went through thanks to that sick "doctor". For her to have not only the physical but mental strength too to be able to still compete is just insane.

In a good or bad way? Is it much better now?..

@@johnnykeane9633better - words cannot describe lol

​@@johnnykeane9633Much better but people are not ready for that conversation.

@@lyd2460 ​What make it so much better now?

She was more than good, she was one of the best. The hate she got was so unnecessary... poor girl

@@Aaron-rd3cd I loved that Gabby proved everyone wrong and went to the Olympic Games twice.

Why didn't they like Gabby? Man, I don't understand why she had to go through these types of comments, she was always an excellent athlete. 😞 Was it racism?

@@tatilalima2874 people hated on her mainly because of how her hair looked at the Olympics (which was really stupid and sad of people to do because why does hair matter when they're at the OLYMPICS competing for their country?) And because she beat komova and people felt that she only got "lucky" even though komova was inconsistent during that time and Gabby won fair and square. Another reason could be her saying on an aly post that what women wear can affect them being sexually assaulted sometimes which is NOT OK, especially given what happened to many US gymnasts. She apologized and said she was a victim too though and that she didn't mean it in a negative way. That still wasn't cool but she definitely doesn't deserve nearly as much hate as she gets

@@murasakino101 I personally felt that Gabby's AA bars were quite overscored because she had missed a few handstands that would take around 0.3-0.5 off, it was pretty much identical to her team finals routine, which I believed scored in the 15.200s, yet in the AA it ballooned up to a 15.733. Nonetheless, the vault really sealed the deal, I love Vika, but it was sad that she just stopped fighting for the landing. I had no idea about the hairdo part, that's just not right for people to hate on her for that. My only reason for slightly disliking her was because of her comment on what women wear. I kind of understand what she means, but it's still not cool, women should be able to wear whatever they want without worrying about men

LMAOO

Colessì-Carmon Dunman THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING

Miss my Anna Pavs ♥️

That’s exactly what I thought when I saw it too

It’s because she tried to full on stick it. A big mistake, especially at the Olympics

@@nathanielhalls1893 In her case, yes. She didn't have to stick to win gold

hmrhuang she got like a 15.800 on her first vault and that wasn’t even her best by any means. All she had to do was take a step even a big one to win

@@nathanielhalls1893 Yes, I remember. It was surreal watching it!

♥️♥️♥️

That onodi lives in my head rent free, she does is so beautifully

Its Insane it was allowed to happen in the first place. They ALL knew

i don’t think he’s ever getting out of prison.. if i’m not mistaken i’m pretty sure he got sentenced to like 100 years or something like that

@@foff1260 Yep. He got like two sentences that have to be served consecutively so you may as well call it life with no parole

gymnasts have abs of steel

Kyla, too?

and all the other gymnasts😖

highlights even more exactly who strong these young women were and are.

No need to mention that tbh

omg could we stop bringing this up, its SO annoying. I just want to enjoy gymnastics!

Tula Loveland :)

maybe its the one shes best at in comparison to the level of difficulty she needs. but yeah, does seem odd

Her coach forced her to apparently. She definitely didn’t want to

Queen Bee at times she would get balance checks when standing riht before the dismount, almost shaking , it shows how scared she is and unprepared to do it , valeri seems to be a coach who doesnt really listen to his gymnasts and that showed in ohashi and bross and ivana hong , theres a difference between pushing them and pacing too hard and breaking them causing injuries

Cole Smith Makes me mad that Valeri completely fucked her yet she tried to discredit Katelyn Ohashi by defending Valeri for his unethical coaching techniques

Do you understand gymnastics? Gymnasts don’t make the choices, their coaches do. I fully disagree with this approach, but it’s the truth.

The best to this day honeStly. Simone Biles was great but her power was never under control. However, floor is another matter, she is the best tbh

Huh? Simone landed that vault incredibly TONS of times. Watch the compilation of her nailing Amanars. McKayla rarely landed it without a big step. Simone was far more consistent on it.

​@@l0velyquiet194Not true its the opposite.

Same with Aly’s brother he was in the crowd in both London and Rio, he was even in tears after Aly’s floor during the AA

it probably was 😭

BadmingtonSunset no, more like a year

Year and half

No 6 months seem right, she was pretty ready on beam , bars was her biggest problem, she would just avoid that by downgrading but she never did so it showed since endurance and strength werent her main qualities

Nastia was good in 2008 but there’s no way in 2012/2016 her routines from 2008 would even medal

@@MeganDurka I feel like shes been doing the same routine since like 2004 or so but adding a few different twists and turns throughout the years. I was wondering if anyone else had noticed that too lol

I was thinking the same!

me too!!

She’s wasn’t even in the 2019 nationals, so yeah I totally agree

Did she say she’s trying for 2020?! If so, you’re definitely right. She looks like she’s definitely been focusing more on enjoying life than gymnastics (which isn’t bad at all! Just don’t think she’s anywhere close to Olympic level )

Jasmine Leopard She has said in the past that she will try to come back to elite, but now that you mention it, I haven’t heard her say anything more recently 🤔

she did gain weight from 08 to 12, but i agree she looks awesome and that’s normal lol. it looks much healthier

THIS COMMENT!!! 100% spot on

I wonder how much added pressure Nastia had from her dad and her success in 2008. Did she really want to make a comeback or did she feel like she had to do it for someone other than herself?

Why do you care? It’s not you trying for the team

Seanzie P hahaha I will say that in her defense, this was 2012 when NOBODY did wolf turns (especially triple wolf turns). At the time they were still pretty unique, and different from the standing turns

Owen Bazigian Fair enough 😂 I personally don’t hate them when they’re done impeccably

the shade though :D

@@ItsSeanzie same!!! like they're highly rated turns for a reason lol. nowadays tim and nastia always hate on them and its so annoying, like during 2018 nationals or worlds everytime someone did a wolf turn nastia would be like "NoT mY FaVoRiTe SkIlL" like girl shut up we heard you the first 10,000 times you said that

@@owen5823 great replies :o)

Well triple wolf turn in beam sure is impressive, and it was clean.

How literally EVERYONE hates wolf turns now...lmao!

I’m just confused on why she calls it a mount, when it was the first skill after her mount..

I noticed that too. Wonder if he’s abusive

Becky B wouldn’t be surprised.

They also always look broke.

They're pretty good too.

I think they are just very focused and determined. As an athlete myself it’s hard to overcome pressure sometimes, and to put a smile on everything.

don’t we all

You should see her on the UCLA gymnastics team she amazing!!!

old code of points, that's why they changed it. Everyone was getting 9.95s at the last meets and sharing medal placings.

@@easytoslip ?!

​@@lpoco0006 lol no idea what "?!" means. You're surprised? use your words! what do you mean!!!

@@easytoslip i was confused because I thought you were talking about the cop from the time of those trials

I remember when Nastia lost the first place coz she had 0.00(0)10 points less than the other girl xd

Simone actually won the US Secret Classic in the junior section earlier in the year so she was already a year away from being the world champ.

She definitely was thinking "oh I should try this wolf turn thing"

A sismance? Lol

easytoslip this comment is the female version of “no homo”

😂

You are such a creep

Yall are trying too hard not to sound gay, it's hilarious

was it like a requirement in 2012 for everyone to have combination passes? Almost everyone had 1.5 step outs in their floor routine.

@@nathanielhalls1893 hmm it might have been, I'm not sure! Maybe it was just an "easy" bonus, but that's a really good point.

Nathaniel Halls I think the requirement was to have at least two saltos in one tumbling pass. So it could be directly connected or you could use a step out
