Pedro Hierro Martín so what she had a bad day. All gymnasts do. Why point out Beijing when clearly she's talking about this meet...

@@pedroh8915 1) beiging... Like the colour lol 2)Even with her fall her technique was still one of the best. Not a single cowboy-d leg in sight.

Yeah she doesnt straddle or cowboy when shes in a tuck position which makes it super clean.

@@focusx77 I was gonna say that was well. Probably the only high profile gymnast I have ever seen who doesn't straddle or cowboy it. To me, when you don't cowboy it it makes it look like a more unique skill, rather than just a reverse double tucked back. When you do the double Arabian properly, it's stunning and unique.

Gary J Shaw She fell twice.

BP x Sometimes people have bad days and fall, unfortunately Alicia had a bad day during team finals. That doesn't mean she isn't a good gymnast. Even the best gymnasts fall and make mistakes sometimes.

Gary J Shaw US lost.

+Laura Trentini really?! When ever I see them they terminate everyone!

I agree. even though they got the silver their gymnastics was beautiful and iconic. I could watch 2008 team and all around competitions over and over!

aidan karnal yes, she looks so relived to have that pass down, seems like it was always a bit cautious for her

Women Throwin' Leather Undoubtedly a great routine, but she didn’t stick any of her landings.

Cate Craig second pass?

Tiana Joiner they werent required to. In fact they were pretty encouraged to lunge back. Look at any of the routines. Even Shawn and nastia....so she nailed this routine. Sticks were still for men then on FX. It should have stayed that way. Way too many injuries happening now. Just look at 17 worlds

Difficulty off the charts? Not a single pass higher than E, and a pretty average D score for the time. She's clean and tumbles well, but difficulty wasn't her thing.

@@jojox9791 They were in fac required to stick since back in 2006. The open ended code of points came with a deduction for any type of step or lounge

Adrian Mireya Ivana Hong. Hers is absolute perfection kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7plfZOA3LfMe30.html.

Appaddict01 Ivanas was inconsistent though

@@Appaddict01 She didn't do a double arabian there...

@@Appaddict01 Ivana Hong did a double front, not a double Arabian.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but in 2008, 10 elements were counted instead of the current 8 - which would account for the current scores being lower than they were during that time. And while I agree that the 2008 girls were amazing, I don't think the natural talent from the girls in 2008 is higher than the girls in 2012. Giving just a few examples: 1) Maroney's vault is the best in the world. Also each of the girls on the 2012 team could technically compete an Amanar (granted - Kyla struggled with it and doesn't compete it often, but a) she was a first year senior during these games and b) she gets all her points from bars and beam), where as I think in 2008 only Johnson could compete it. Also in 2008 Alicia was USA's vault girl, and both of Maroney's vaults were more difficult and more consistent (despite the fact that the ONE competition she messes up the second vault happened to be the Olympic games) 2) Aly's floor score is the highest fx score in the history of women's gymnastics at the Olympics (and I say this knowing that Sandra Izbasa did score higher when she won in 2008 - but if you adjust her score to the 2012 code, it wouldn't be as high as Aly's). If you took Izbasa's score, adjusted it to the 2012 code, and ranked it with the other medalists from the 2012 games, she would have only won the bronze medal. 3) Also Aly, Gabby, and Shawn's beam d-score (adjusted 2012 code) are the same, even though Aly doesn't do a full twisting back tuck. Jordan's was actually .2 higher.

You make good points! =)

They did change it from 10 to 8 skills being counted...however, Sacramone was a killer on VT BB and FX, Johnson was a killer on VT BB and FX, Liukin was a killer on UB BB and FX and Memmel was a killer on UB BB and FX. Pezsek and Sloan were just kinda fillers.

@@extra_ice_girl Not really. Peszek had the 2nd beam and floor (after Shawn) and the 3rd vault. Sloan yes, kindof a filler except fir bars (poor form, but bigger D score than Shawn)

every event’s scores are now lowered by 5 tenths. (0.500) so if a score was 15.600 in 2008 it would be considered a 15.100 today.

MC Hernandez NOT in Beijing 2008 #beijinhonoombro

Michely Araújo she wasn't talking about Beijing

Arath Gomez it's always good remember

Giovanni Garcia Alicia was just more flexible than Aly, that’s all. Not a bad thing.

she bombed like hell in gymnastics

She didn't mean a "double double" she said double AND double Arabian

Look at her hands in the backhandspring, they were way to wide so she did not get any push off for the double pike back. She basically did it from a stand still. AMAZING!

+shwaung you're right her hands are too wide on the backhandspring. wow I totally missed that on first watch thru. Still, the height she gets from a standstill with no spring is remarkable.

+shwaung you're right her hands are wide. Didn't catch that on first watch. Still impressive from basically a standstill with little to no push off. 👏🏻
