everything is great in the world when Shannon Miller is the commentator.

Maria Paseka was so cute when she had to touch the bars and salute :3

At 44:53 you can see where at some point, one of the gymnasts drew a little happy face in chalk on the mat. That's such an endearing little reminder- these are strong, incredibly tough, seasoned athletes.....but they're still young girls. 🎀💖🖤

Aliya and Viktorias relationship 😍🥰

When Shannon's saying "look at that form 😍" about Vika's sheep jump in slow mo. I FEEL IT ❤️

Had Komova done that vault in the AA, she would be olympic champion.

Russian team was so sweet here, I adore those girls so much and miss these olympics!! I love Grishina sm the most.

If you really are a "lover of gymnastics" you would know that Grishina had an excellent junior career and a rocky senior first year, but she's a fantastic gymnast who had a bad competition.

I absolutely love the Russian style, so beautiful. I love that move Grishina does when she does a cool, elegant spin @ 14:33. It makes me smile :)

In my opinion, Aliya's still the queen.

The talent at these games was very, very special. Idk if any other olympics has been able to top it, honestly.

It was great seeing all the gymnasts happy, smiling, waving and jumping. Russia especially. Much different from team final though. Only USA was happy, smiling and waving. Poor Yao Jinnan. She had a bad day here and didn't get to compete in AA final.

sui lu straight ninja on that beam

Aliya's double arabian stag was explosive

Love Shannon's commentary. ❤️ She is so positive and eloquent. xx

I WAS THERE omg front row! it was the best day ever, such incredible gymnastics!

aliya mustafina made the double arabian look so easy

Watching this again for the feels. Rio is next week and so much has changed.

And balanced. She doesn't feel the need to keep talkingtalkingtalkingtalking as though she had to fill every second with incessant chatter. She makes astute and brief comments as needed, just to let us know what happened here or there. It's like she just lets the audience sit back and enjoy the show. Very refreshing, really.

the camera angle on he kexins UB routine blew my mind, the fluidity and accuracy. Wow.

Komovas body and style reminds me so much of nastia

Poor Jao :( Such a great gymnast, you knew she was hiding an injury when she was messing up that much. GOF Musty is such a compleat gymnast! Her showmanship and dance ability just kill (in a good way) her floor routine! Love her. Seitz's full twisting gienger is insane. I wish she'd've medaled. Ideally: Musty, Tweddle, Sietz, in any order.

I just realized Komova's fx music contained an excerpt from the show must go on by queen. I'm like 6 yrs late though

Actually, Oksana was 38! Her birthday is on June 19. She turned 38 last year before the start of the Women's Gymnastics Team Qualifications at the Olympics on July 29, 2012. And yes, she is a total WOW! She competed at the 1992 Olympics, the same as the lady commentator here, the U.S.A.'s Shannon Miller. :)

AM I the only one who wants to do beam and bars like the Chinese?

I think it was musty telling her that she is the top qualifier, she looked very pleased with herself, that smile was sweet not cunning.

Elisabeth Seitz does one of the best triple turns/spins on floor exercise that I've ever seen!! So controlled, so beautiful, completes it perfectly!

You guys should appreciate this video matter what these amazing athletes are trying to show the world what they can do and you should appreciate each one of them for their hard work and dedication

Oksana's beam routine is classic! There are many skills and movements which gymnasts in this era won't do anymore.

the first 30 seconds SUCH A HIGHLIGHT

That sucks though that Aliya was forced to do that beam routine in the TF. She was really struggling all week. It made me sad when we were watching seeing her have that much trouble. Good on her for stepping up and doing it.

That's Elisabeth Seitz from Germany, and she did make it to the finals. She was the 7th place qualifier. (Actually placed 8th in quals, but the Chinese gymnast in the 7th place didn't go to finals because there were already 2 other Chinese gymnasts ahead of her.)

LOL Paseka. 52:25 "Did I do good?" coach goes "That was a perfect 10 scratch" XD

I like Sui Lu she trains very hard for this

52:15 oh, perfect ub! Paseka

ALIYAAAAA!!!

I really loved how Russian get their ranked back.

Mustafina is incredible

All the Chinese gymnasts seemed to be underscored.

thank you!

Wow. Perfect Song! We Love it!

1:12:03 is Mustafina telling Komova that Jordyn Wieber didn't make the all-around final.

what amazing competion....BIG wow

The Chinese have little girls on the team but they are AMAZING!!!!!!! 😄😃😀😊☺️😉

Gabby Douglas is legit! 😘😜😍

정말 운동도 잘하고 멋지네용!

Grazie...

Aliya was quite underscored on bars.

ugh, i love this

Very inspiring as a gymnast

I JUST LOVE SHANNON MILLER!!! :)

I think that over the years, the sport of gymnastics has single-handedly kept the glitter hair/body spray industry in business. Especially Parkettes in the USA.

Ich turne auch und der Schwebebalcken finde ich ist immer am schwersten. Saltos machen ist war für mich am Anfang auch schwer.

They make it look so easy!

grishina refused to do beam because she freaked out, plain and simple. had nothing to do with floor. it came out that her coaches pandered to her insecurities, which isn't her fault but the coaches's fault. when alexandrov spoke out about all this (in addition to other things), he was sacked as the russian national coach. she had A LOT of pressure and expectations put on her, despite not having much experience, in addition to personal pressures outside of gymnastics. she baulked under pressure.

The best of the best!

Is that Komova in the thumbnail? God I hope she can make another comeback

Wow good job, well done

Shannon Miller is fair, interested in gymnasts from all over the world, isn't biased to the US team and really down plays her own success. Not what NBC want.

Magnificent, Magnificent, Magnificent!

At 52:55 my floor music plays 😂

That's Elizabeth Seitz of Germany and she DID make bars finals. Her SV didn't fail her at all. She did well in Finals, she just couldn't get into the medals.

Viktoria Komova is sooooo underrated

Well that certainly would explain her shocked face and then utter joy...honestly I saw that moment for the first time and said "I wonder what they're talking about!" Now I'm sure you're right :D

Got it. I didn't know that she wasn't training for the Olympics. She's talented, but inexperienced. She was on the team for Euros, and she took silver on uneven bars behind Viktoria, but she had trouble on beam. I love Aliya she's a beautiful gymnasts, and honestly I don't know why people make her out to be such a devil. I mean she does have a forceful personality, but she is the leader of the team, and at any rate I admire her character. She's tough and that an admirable quality in a gymnast.

Where did you get that info from about Grishina? BTW: she couldn't have refused to do beam based on her floor performance, because beam was before floor. I don't know why they didn't use Komova on the floor in the team finals. I liked her routine in the AA. Grishina's was also good here in quals, though. And really, either way, a hit routine from Grishina or Komova wouldn't have gotten team Russia gold, with the other mistakes they already had. Oh, and I totally agree with you about Mustafina.

felicidades

@ponyrider35 Because there were so many teams competing in qualifying, they had 5 subdivisions. Only one team (or mixed group) per apparatus competed in each subdivision. All the scores of every team in the qualifying rounds were compared, and then the top 8 teams go to the team finals. In the team finals, there are the top 8 teams competing, 2 teams on each apparatus. The mixed groups that you see in quals don't count for team score, only to get individual gymnasts into the event finals.

Seitz did make the bars final and placed 6th.

even with the v. low d.o.d china's floor routines are actually quite beautiful/artistic

and i cant even do a cartwheel...........

Wow I love russa

Aliya mustafina!♥♥ Russia!

It could be...but I don't really think so, since they'd probably already know that even before their subdivision started....think about how quickly that news went viral! Maybe Mustafina is telling Komova that she could be/is in first place qualifying for the all-around.

Canción épica de fondo *^* MUSE!!!!!!! lml

Komova lines are ambicious

anyone know why some of the other gymnastics videos arent loading?

i love the bar

O.O Really? I didn't know about that! Where can I find more about it??

it was the music on floor of viktoria komova :)

what subdivision is romania in? I wanna see them compete!

The fierce five are so amazing I look up to mkalary marrony and gabb Douglas they were the ones you made me want to do competitive gymnastics 😍😍😍

Sui Lu's floor music kind of sounds like Jordyn Wieber's

Viktoria Komova has done a great job

17:18 in the background wonder who they're there for? 👏👏👏

They're saying "Jia-you Nannan". Nannan is what they call her I guess? Jia-you is like "go!/come on!", you know some cheering :)

ahhhh i never knew how close the scores were for russia and the us in the qf, they were so close!!

I think that she will try for Rio and probably make the team but she is going to have to work against her body. From 2011 to 2012 alone she grew a lot and with the time she is taking off now she could grow more. But if she wants an AA gold I think that she will have to upgrade. She not only did poorly on the vault in AA finals but also lost significant difficulty to Gabby. Those tenths really do add up.

Aliya Mustafina! 3

one word... WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!

I.love gym

So sad Grishina didn't make beam finals just by .166 tenths, i wish she made it

yes,correct!

do you have the division that Romania was in?

At 16:54 his butt is in the camera lol

viktoria komova is so beautiful...those eyes wow !!

I so wish Yao Jinnan wasn't injured: I had such high hopes for her here!

Why Paseka doesn't doing Uneaven Bars?

10:29 this is replay of the balance beam routine.... She performed this in the finals.... And they used the clip for this vid.... Check the Balance Beam finals 2012... She's the first one.. Them come back to this one... Your welcome

Yao Jinnan was injured before the games and so she couldn't compete with her full difficulty. The same with Sui Lu on floor.
