I think they’re crying because they won the Championship but either way it is cute

TheGleeVids i don’t know anything about gymnastics lmao. They said “a great way to finish her career” I just thought they were happy for her to get a 10 on her last performance. It does make more sense for them to be crying because they won nationals.

It’s cuz if she wins a 10.00 that brings her title up

ha my team would never 🥲

God loves you

Different sports

Much different.. you usually only get 1 chance. And it’s for all the marbles. Some ppl need to stay in that zone

Yes indeed maybe because they only represent thier school while the other represnts thier country

I think its considered bad etiquette to react this way to winning at the Olympic level. Not saying its bad but I'm guessing they're supposed to be more composed since its an international affair.

That's exactly what a lot of gymnasts have said.

And Nia Dennis. Her floor routine was so good :)

Isaiah - And Kyla Ross and Madison Kocian. And get this, coached by Jordyn Wieber 👀

God loves you

and gracie kramer:)

"Presentation gymnastics" is a better name for it, I think. Or even "entertainment gymnastics". Personally, college level gymnastics is not for me, as I am more interested in difficulty, as I find it to be much more representative of their athletic skill, but I can understand why people prefer this level for its sheer entertainment value alone. I personally feel as if focusing on entertainment is a way to gloss over the fact that these athletes cannot compete with elite standards- which they shouldn't have to, it's their own way of doing gymnastics! I'm just frustrated that people find college level gymnastics to be so much 'better' than Olympic level, because athletically, it's objectively not. After all, it's... college level sports. You can enjoy it, you can have fun, but of course the Olympians are going to be better, because they're literally elites.

@@floraleia college and elite are different things. Also, the majority of those competing in college are retired elites and level 10 gymnasts. So this idea that they can't do the harder moves just just absurd. Most elite gymnasts train 40+ hours/week and compete maybe 5-7 times/year. The college season requires them to be full-time students/compete almost every week from january-april. No human being could take the kind of pounding that elite skills would take on their bodies if they had to train that much and compete that much. i enjoy both elite and college gym because they are different. I mean, i literally won't watch a joyless elite floor routine unless simone biles is doing it🤷 but i also hate to see so many gainer fulls off beam in college. It a mixed bag either way but gymanstics is my jam

@results u literally spelled out the difference in ur first comment, so 1st of all ty but 2nd of all how anyone could find it in themselves to still find a way to be negative is confusing/baffling

@@floraleia Well the reality is you are not going to be able to fill an entire college system coast to coast with athletes at the elite level so I appreciate the sport having a more artistic emphasis. College gymnastics is to elite what college football is to the NFL. It's just in gymnastics college isn't the feeder system into professional sports.

If you don’t like college gymnastics, why are you watching this???

Me too.

Why was it the last?

@@eora5142 that was her last year of college.

@@jld7732 thanks! I don't know much about sports and I wondered if maybe she got injured or something!

Who's comparing tho?

Hyun Min a few people in the comment section.

They cant complete with elite!

Linda Selander most of these girls came from elite before going to college. Why watch college gymnastics videos just to say they can’t compete with elite?? That’s such a weird thing to comment here 🤷‍♀️

@@msalyssababy oh, ok didnt know that!😄

Most definitely!

She is AMAZING

Stone W Good news: you don’t need to view it subjectively and give it a 10. The judges already did.

The fact is this is based on skill level. In world competitions these girls wouldn’t score anywhere as high as they would on the ncaa level because their is technically a performance gap between the two. The NCAA has lower standards but she’s just at the highest end of that standard.

Tiana Joiner preach.

This is so much more entertaining than Olympic gymnastics. Women are hotter and they seem to enjoy what they’re doing a lot more.

jessiknows How is steel a spirit animal

Crouching Tiger

Yeah, in this competitions their we're 6 judges, drop the highest and the lowest score from the judges and average the middle, that means she would've needed at least 5 judges to give her a 10

They're called 'Thomas flares' or 'Thomas-flair' (people spell it differently, dunno why). Named after the gymnast Kurt Thomas who performed it in international competition first. Performed (by men) both on pommel horse and on floor, and since Peng Peng also on the balance beam :D She also did it in elite gymnastics when she represented Canada on the international stage.

@@SuAva Sooo cool! Thanks for the detailed response :) I've seen men do it on the pommel horse and was so surprised and delighted to see her perform it on the beam 😄

justalittlebitmo what is the d-value ?

@@flyingdana2317 I'm not sure. I tried looking it up, but only found it listed for men as a Group II maneuver but no listed D score... Maybe someone else will see this thread and have an answer

@@justalittlebitmo Don't quote me, but I think it's a C

I’ve watched this so many times as well!

Exactly what I think too. It’s actually disappointing to watch that many routines that actually have one or more clear deductions get ten anyway. With the current level, THIS routine should be given more than 10. - 10,1-10.2 perhaps. - Not only are there nothing to deduct, but 1. she jumps higher than others in her backflip 2. and in her split jump 3 and her dismount lands so perfect so nobody is doubting that she’ll plant it.

A 10 is never deserved. What if the next girl did better?

@@nicepairofslacks8769 she was in the last anchor spot for UCLA in the 6th rotation of the competition there was no one going after her, also its usually only the 2 anchor spots who tend to get the 10's just for that reason

@@nicepairofslacks8769 excuse me?? that 10 was absolutely deserved..she was the anchor for a reason...

@@jlyfan What do you give someone that does better? I’m not saying she didn’t deserve a 9.9.

@@nicepairofslacks8769 do you know anything about college gymnastics? or her? She was one of the best collegiate beamers in the country. That night she was the very last athlete to go during the entire competition so no one could have done better than her and even if they did (which I highly doubt they would) the score would hopefully reflect that. As to your last sentence I don't get it because she didn't get a 9.9 she got a 10

Thanks for watching!

Well said...the majority of those comparing to elite routines don’t realise or understand in college they compete weekly and have at least 12+ meets in the season, and takes a toll on the body. So doubt a team of elites would all last a full season if they performed their elite routines without injuries or being sidelined.

@@pkblade yes and above all that haft to travel, study, keep up with their social life, look after their body, keep up with their grades etc.
