I really love so much that Melanie got to experience the love and support the US has for our gymnasts! I know other countries don't get the support for their programs the "Big 4" Nations do, so I truly am happy to hear her say she felt so proud, accomplished, and supported by the crowd and the general experience training in the States!! It really makes me proud as a Gymfan in the US! 😭 As a proud Mexican, I also wish Alexa Moreno (and other MX girls!) could come and experience some of that, too! ❤ Good luck to this young lady, and I'm going to watching for her and rooting for her in Antwerp!! ❤

@likeisaidjenkins3689 It's so nice! I watched her UB set, and every time she would do a release or transition from high/low bar, the crowd cheered and clapped when she caught the bar! And ofc, they all cheered and screamed when she finished! 😭

I love Melanie. She trained a while ago in the US for 2 years. Good having her here. You can tell the difference with her and her training. US training to me is harder than the actual international competitions. Seems like the US has many Asian competitors. I don’t know if they are just training here or are Asian Americans. Most that I have seen are really good. Still think, no matter who gets better coaches and training from WCC.

@alsoleve99 Жыл бұрын

They’re Asian Americans. If you look at their technique and form, they are no where near the Chinese. How you could usually tell the difference is: Asian Americans usually have more power in their gymnastics because USA for years have focused on power and difficulty in tumbling not so much on form and technique. The Chinese usually have impeccable form and technique, and they are freaking petite and have smaller body frames because of diet.

@nicoles9077 Жыл бұрын

She speaks English just fine if you listen in the beginning interview. Seems to have a problem when people talk too fast , which is understandable. Translator came in to move the interview along. Most Americans can’t even speak more than one language unless they have an immigrant parent.

@GoldForAnna Жыл бұрын

How do you explain that German gymnasts or Dutch gymnasts or Russian gymnasts like Angelina Melnikova speak English fluently? Because they have learned English at school.

@sheepbeep824 Жыл бұрын

@@GoldForAnna Correction there, Gelya didn't learn English in school. As far as I know She (and Elena Eremina) learned from watching American TV shows. German and Dutch kids have English instruction in school from the primary school ages so that's no shock, but Melanie is from France where English isn't required until age 11.

@GoldForAnna Жыл бұрын

I'm sorry, Geyla and Elena Eremina LEARNED English. You don't learn a foreign language just watching TV shows. And in France, when you LEARN English from the age of 11, you speak it much fluently than Mélanie does.

@nicoles9077 Жыл бұрын

@@GoldForAnna why are people attacking this girl’s English? She speaks just fine. She seemed a bit nervous and has some trouble when people speak fast(which is understandable for a second language) but at least she’s trying. I work in healthcare and there are plenty of Spanish speakers who have been in the US for many years, yet have to have their school age kids translate for them. Her English is lot better than millions of people who immigrate and/or work here but never learn English.
