I totally agree about it! This commentators are an awful shit

This team however was spot on about the judging and scoring. It was so ridiculously inconsistent as to be a sham! I do agree their negativity about the athletes though is obnoxious.

True they shut their mouth on that dismount though.

@@TJ-bd5iqit was the only thing there wasn’t room for criticism though. The scoring at Beijing was suspiciously inconsistent.

Yes! They keep going on and on and making a big deal out of a fee small wobbles. Then the silence when she stuck her dismount. Astonishingly rude!

Kawaii Geekz i know haha its off and on with tim and the nbc commentators. I think they get anxious and grumpy when usa is behind. I love when commentators appreciate all good gymnastics! This beam routine was stunning. Thats what i love about gymnastics, no matter the country or team, any beautiful gymnastics will take your breath away. :)

+Carly Schaelling Exactly!

You want rude? Go back and watch some of the European commentators from the 1980’s and 1990’s who criticized gymnasts for how they LOOKED, not how they performed. THAT IS RUDE.

THE GZ Exactly!

They focused on things that SHOULD have factored into her score- but didn’t. The scores for China that year were unbelievably inflated.

The scoring at those games was absolutely atrocious- especially on beam. Other countries got destroyed on scores for the smallest bobbles and errors while China was given blatantly inflated scores. They still did win but the margin should have been significantly smaller. This routine was very good but had many visible checks and bobbles- which the score did NOT reflect. That was what these commentators were referring to.

Vivian Li Feeling the salt.

Nothin to say bout het twist into korbut either!! She killed it

They were spot on though about the innumerable bobbles though. The scoring at this Olympic competition was so inconsistent it was laughable. In beam final your bronze medalist (Cheng Fei) was a farce- full of constant balance checks and yet she received a very small amount of deductions. By contrast the Romanian athlete (Dragoi) had a smooth and consistent set and was hammered. In terms if this stuck landing- it was good, but certainly not great… with her chest that low you cannot call it great.

They made a huge deal out of checks and bobbles that WERE NOT factored into the score as they should have been. The scoring in general on beam was disgustingly inconsistent in Beijing.

@@saragrant9749 no. She had perfect form on everything else. The americans didn’t. So even if they wobbled less, the less than perfect form made things balance out.

@@ojk46 you didn’t watch the same competition as the rest of the world did then. When MULTIPLE countries remarked about the exact same thing, it definitely proved that the inconsistency was there.

@@saragrant9749 i did. And no, china was not overscored on beam lol. Shawn and nastia were lucky to get credit for a lot of the skills they did.

@@ojk46 go ahead and believe whatever drivel you choose. The whole rest of the world knows the facts- and could care less what someone like you thinks.

even with the wobbles it was still beautiful

The dismount was the only thing that didn’t have room for criticism.

Oh right completely forgot about Shannon Millier she's great too. Just Tim is too much sometimes.

Cody S. Shannon Miller is great, she is fair, she is never, ever, talks about herself and she is not biased to the US either...The others could learn from her.

I agree Shannon Miller my personal favorite. She actually names the skills they are performing too for example on beam when tim usually just talks about how difficult it is or irrelevant things

No she wasnt

Nastia was still better imo because she hit her routine everytime without fail with no balance checks. Although she most definitely hits better ring/sheep positions.

Was Shawn Johnson. Li was great but unbelievably inconsistent. Shawn was the most consistently stable beam worker of that quad.

That is true but compared to the other skills she does in her routine that’s one of the easier ones

Cierto 👍

For an elite gymnast it WAS an easy skill by comparison.

😭 she deserved a medal. That fall still hurts

He was understandably unimpressed with the way the Chinese were being scored throughout those games. Other countries were hammered for the slightest things while China was given grossly overinflated scores.

Because those bobbles and yes- BROKEN- connections should have been accounted for in her score… and were not.

@@saragrant9749yes they were. Also, their technique was far superior in every part of this final.

@@antwonnyy no- they were NOT. It should be very obvious that the E score for that routine was unnecessarily high, and the D score did not reflect the missed connections. That was the case for several Chinese routines during those games- including beam finals.

They were very unhappy with how the scoring was being done- and RIGHTLY SO. The Chinese were given multiple blatantly inflated scores while other countries were hammered for the slightest thing.

Because the checks were there but not reflected in her score. The Chinese were greatly overscored on beam throughout those games.

Because it was incredibly poorly executed- consistently so- along with multiple other checks… WHICH WERE NOT REFLECTED IN HER SCORE!

NBC was highlighting mistakes made by the Chinese that WERE NOT REFLECTED IN THEIR SCORES!!

Lol not even close. Low chest landing. How about those who stuck- with their body upright in proper form.

@@saragrant9749 oh my gosh you're so right! who's routine should I watch?!

@@kras118 Nastia in AA finals, Yilin of China in AA finals, and I’m having a mental block on the others who stuck theirs. This was a great dismount but there were definitely a couple of others who were better.

@@saragrant9749 ohh yes, Nastia for sure! That and her vault from AA were so stellar. I'm definitely blanking on Yilin in AA, so I'll have to go back and check it out!

Yes she did. She won gold from it.

Because several of the bobbles WERE silly for an elite gymnast like her.

Here’s the difference. Shanshan had fallen MULTIPLE times during previous competitions and was having little checks and errors here too- especially on that L turn. Shawn fell on beam in international competitions a sum total of TWICE- ever and rarely was anything but insanely consistent. Big difference.

L turn was a significant deduction, and balance checks were there but not deducted for. They had good reason to be unhappy, as the scores were highly inconsistent.
