Why would they do that

Yep, idiot videographer.

Me tooooo

Same!!!!!! 😠

@@no_peace Because it was prolly a man trying to zoom on her face, thinking that is an important shot. Gotta look at how a woman looks rather than what she's doing...pisses me off.

ARE YOU SURE? The first most difficult twist wasn't even filmed

as a brazilian from rio, I hate that they lose they wevers double turn at the beggining

yeah wtf was up with the camaras not even showing her

Sanne has superb posture. Very elegant athlete.

This is one of those routines that looks easy but is actually very hard. Her moves are not as "flashy" and crowd-pleasing as, say, Biles' double pike or Liukin's arabesque, but that turn series is insanely difficult. Same with her dismount (gainer with a full twist) it doesn't look like much to the casual observer, but it's actually an E level skill. it's freaking HARD. It's worth noting that the D score here was actually 6.6, only marginally behind Biles.

@@Wnzjsuaba Sure you could. Right before you rode off on your rainbow unicorn, farting glitter and doing Gainer saltos all the way.

@@chooseyourpoison5105the dismount is not an E. it’s a D level skill

@@Bxyxox Wrong. The straight Gainer is a D, but the Gainer with a full twist, as shown here, is an E.

@@chooseyourpoison5105 you need to look at the code of points. Gainer straight with a full twist aka the Steingruber is rated D.

Just pointing out, that was a Gainer dismount with a full twist, an E level skill, it was NOT "nothing special." Her mount was a round off 3/4 twisting back handspring onto beam, also an E skill. Wevers' routines may not have the spectacular "wow" crowd-pleasing factor of Biles', but her skills, especially her turns, are fiendishly difficult. It's worth noting that this routine had a difficulty value of 6.6, only just below that of Biles.

This. I really dislike Simone’s gymnastics. It lacks the grace, elegance and the precision required to perform a routine like this. Most of the “hard” skills she competes can be done by most elite gymnasts on the tramp. It’s all just about having enough power to be able to get enough height on the actual floor. … A routine like this? Most of them wouldn’t even be able to do it even on the low beam. And certainly not with flailing arms and pointed toes.

@@chooseyourpoison5105I love her dismount-It’s so different from what you see other gymnasts compete. She’s one of my fave beam artists from the open-scoring era. Ponor is probably my favorite beam artist from the 2000s. I do miss the ‘80s & ‘90s when more gymnasts relied heavily on on strength & flexibility elements.

@@keller109Simone’s an absolutely power-house and an amazing tumbler-She won loads of medals by playing to her strengths & racking up bonus points doing big skills. That’s what the current system rewards. I would like to see some balance brought back to the sport, though. It annoys me that gymnasts today can sometimes podium on event finals with major errors and even occasionally falls because they’ve loaded up so much on difficulty. It was clear by the ‘90s & early ‘00s that the scoring system needed to be fixed but I feel like they overcorrected.

@@chooseyourpoison5105 - to my uneducated eye…the dismount isn’t impressive. It isn’t fast or flashy. But she won gold…so maybe I’m missing something.

Well in her case, she has to because she can’t perform the acrobatic skills that good.

6.6 i believe

She won because the turns. What is rarerly seen especially this clean. Not because someone elses fault.

She won because she had the cleanest, best routine with the second biggest start value of the games- not because of the failure of others. That’s pure childishness to say trash like that.

you sound uneducated on the sport… the turns she did are of high score values, higher than all those jumps and leaps

…is this the first time you watch a gymnast on a balance beam?

@@SDvids in many ways yes, i now watch them objectively, comparing their mouvements to those of men; men don't 'wiggle'.

Only small ones. She didn’t grab the beam like Simone did and cost herself an element plus half a point. And she had a 0.2 advantage in SV over Laurie.

You forgot full twisting back hand spring and full twisting mount. So when your dissing someone maybe try not to forget her most difficulte skills .jeez

She had a full twisting back handspring onto the beam, another one in combination with a leap, a full L turn-reverse turn-double turn- split leap FOUR element sequence, two aerial cartwheels in succession (one is hard enough let alone two combined which means changing direction TWICE), a TRIPLE turn which has only successfully been done by ONE other gymnast, and you think it was easy?! Shows your childish mentality, and your abismal lack of knowledge about the sport.

Or tell the other gymnasts to do a Triple pirouette, a double turn, reverse turn and another double. NONE of them I bet can do Sanne’s series. That’s the whole point of difficulty, maintaining balance, and awarding “those” points.

It’s harder than it looks- you have to gain enough momentum to push off on ONE foot to keep from hitting the beam while flipping backwards. Until you actually try it, you’re in no position to selfishly judge.

@@saragrant9749 - I know nothing about gymnastics. That dismount might be incredibly hard. I don’t know. But it’s not impressive to a lay person such as me

​​@@JustMe-px9qy and that is why most of us aren't judges, which is a good thing for unique gymnasts like Sanne

@@shwee1855 - I agree. I’m the first to admit…I know nothing about gymnastics. The skills that I find impressive look great but they might be very easy. I don’t really know.

@@JustMe-px9qythe thing that is tough with that particular dismount is you have to get enough power to push off of only one foot, get far enough away from the beam and execute a full turn before landing. It requires intense precision because you can easily clip the beam with your head or shoulders in the process. It definitely does look simpler… but actually requires great timing and coordination.

@Emi Bellew Bullshit! The difficulty scores are subjective. Everyone knows a jump or a flip is harder than a fucking spin

Simone dropped out anyway.

@Emi Bellew You’re right.

@Emi Bellew How many gymnasts have torn an ACL doing a twist? If the scoring isn't subjective then why is the Yurchenko double pike listed at a lower start value than it was before Simone performed it in live competition? Rebecca Andrandae's vault, impressive tho has been performed before, had the same score as Simone's even tho a woman had never successfully performed that skill. The establishment has been against her since day 1

@Emi Bellew Not true. The highest point valued skill on the beam is still that triple back summersault Shawn Johnson does. So.... I'm not challenging your knowledge about gymnastics. I'm simply saying we all know Simone does the hardest stuff and challenges herself more than anyone else and when she messes up it's the end of the world.
