Every once in a while there’s a piece of gymnastics that is met with universal acclaim, often recognized as being of iconic status.
Elena Produnova's Double Front vault; He Kexin's incredible uneven bars combo or Simone Biles' Yurchenko Double Pike vault are examples of some of the most remarkable maneuvers in gymnastics' history.
And amongst them is unquestionably the "Raisman": a floor tumbling pass created and mastered by 3-time Olympic Gold Medalist Aly Raisman.

Thank you for honoring Aly. Always thought she was an exceptional athlete but overshadowed by the GOAT. It's nice for her to get some credit for amazing gymnastics. And beautifully and gracefully done.

@derpcapades6878 2 жыл бұрын

it's physics. When you incorporate the laws of physics into the choreography of a routine, you will see this type of perfection. For those wondering how she sticks the front layout at the end after the double front Arabian, it's actually a genius move to temper the force and speed of the acrobatic run with the layout so that she sticks it with no correction. So when you see that extra move you think she's achieved difficulty when in reality, not adding the layout would probably cause her to take a step forward, possible out onto the white if it had ended on the double arabian

@jojox9791 2 жыл бұрын

I have to disagree with you. It may be physics but its ALL ALY'S PHYSICS. It takes great strength. Many can not just step into that pass and fit it corner to corner. In her other passes, such as has dbl lay out and dbl pike, she does run into more than, lets say, Simone needs to pull off much more difficult passes (such as the Biles, and incredibly even the triple double~that is pure power, not physics btw). Aly used to perform it without an ending front pass. Then added a front tuck which them evolved into the front layout. POWER! CONTROL! SKILL!

The athlete who launched the craze for complex tumbling passes was Soviet Oksana Omelianchik in 1985 at the World Championships, earning the Gold on floor to accentuate her Gold in the All-Around… the hype for back-to-back tumbling runs was launched and lasted for a decade. Following the fad included such stars as Silivas and Dobre of Romania and Zmeskal and Dawes of the US,

@afridgetoofar1818 2 жыл бұрын

Omelianchik's "Birdie" routine is still one of my all-time favorite. It's much more creative than anything done today.

@jojox9791 2 жыл бұрын

@@afridgetoofar1818 true. But we have to blame FIG and their CODE for this. Their requirements and the need to throw as high a D score as possible sort of takes out any room for originality. Aly managed to be unique, as does Simone with signature skills of course, but the COP has so many requirements and it set up in such a way that these ladies construct routines in a "maximize" score way. Simply look to the beautiful Brooklyn Moors...she is one of the few who chooses not to sacrifice her own uniqueness for difficulty. But sadly her scores reflect that 😕

@captainbryce1 2 жыл бұрын

I don't remember Kim Zmeskal ever doing back-to-back tumbling passes (although here 3 whips to double tuck were quite the crowd pleaser back in the day). Dominique Dawes probably had the most complicated series (with the most skills fit into a double pass) than any other gymnast, although it wouldn't be considered as difficult by today's standards.

I still don't know why any layout ups the beauty bonus, but it just does. Every now and then I like to search for this and watch it just for its sheer beauty. It's already jaw-dropping, and then that layout at the end is the tumbling equivalent of the world's most transcendent mic drop. Retton's double layout in her floor routine did the same thing in 1984, and Raisman's pass adds three more decades of advancement to it.

My hypothesis is the layout was the necessary final piece of this pass.

To me (and this is MY opinion) iconic is something, I still watch from the 80's and 90's and even 70's but when all is said and done, the last few Olympics (besides Simone's tumbling and vaulting) and some Chinese beam, it's just a sport now.
