Did you notice her knee was giving her problems after her vault in this video? Could it have been a forshadow of night 2?

What is really sad is her knee went out of joint when she did vault.

I feel if she had stopped doing that double Arabian dismount on beam, it would have been better for her legs. She always seemed to land it painfully.

​@@DizzyedUpGirlexactly! That Double Arabian beam dismount is SO hard on those knees!

Me too!

He's one of the only coaches that can be tough but not cross the line and is able to maintain healthy relationships with his athletes

Him and Chow are my absolute favorites 😭 Ive always loved the relationship Mehai has with both Aly and Alicia ❤️

I hope Mihi does something with USAG now that he's not team coach for the other country anymore (I forget where he was at).

@@2134knees I think it was Australia. I wonder what he's up to now.

@@Reg121 Yes it was Australia. I can't find anything about what he is doing now. Assuming he is just still at his club

U pop

I met her at the 2012 post-Olympics tour (had a VIP pass which included a meet & greet as well as front-row seats so I was able to catch her between the performance and the autograph session) and she seemed sad. Like... vacant almost. It was just one interaction and of course you can't judge someone on that, but it did make me wonder how she's coped. Especially because she was the one expected to come after Carly & Nastia.

@@michellebaker6302from what I understand she’s doing well these days, is coaching and living a good life. It was always my concern too when she came in the year after the Olympics. So many athletes with huge potential don’t make it the four years to the Olympics.

Ha! Funny you say that bc i only noticed waller until i read it!

She's a beautiful gymnast. Love her lines and artistry.

Alex Yang nope

@@kmesser5 really??! Too bad 🤷🏽‍♀️

Kari Messer ignorant

Unfortunately not everyone knows gymnasts outside of the US

Diane was great... but she had a hard time sticking her landings. Her height was beyond words though.

yeah😐

I'm thrilled they got rid of Al! But, Tim can't stay forever.

Malorie lmao yes she is? what....

It is Brandie Jay I think

@@kyraniyogi492 no its annette miele. you can search it up

[Hope it's not too late, even though it's been a month] I've been searching a little around the girls in each rotations/events, then I tried to understand what what said when they announced the gym she comes from, I then looked for her 2010 floor music and I think it's Lauren Beers! :)

Indeed. Mostly for Alexandra, Alicia, and Rebecca.

Shshsisudh right?!?!? she was insanely talented. and good god, can she please teach the rrst of team usa to do those beautiful turns on floor?!? most of them fall/stumble out of those turns; hers was so natural and flawless.

Since she and Raisman were basically the same gymnast so they were only ever taking 1 of those 2. By that I mean both are strong on vault, beam, floor, weak on bars. Beam already had Bross and Sacramone, vault had Sacramone and lots of people you could use, and floor had Larson and Bross, so you were only ever going to use 1 of those 2 on beam or floor especialy.

then how did she get that last tumbling pass around successfully in floor finals as well as qualifications??

This is it??

Try a GOLD one- three of them AT THE OLYMPICS.

I was looking for shawn in the background ! I heard that intro Stevie wonder type sound then the train sound...who else uses that?! No idea...

Annette Miele

Omarian Hussain It took me a few seconds to register what you meant. For those who may not have been able to figure it out, I believe what you're saying is that Mihai Brestyan excels as a coach for athletes on the power events (vault & floor), whereas Valeri Liukin excels as a coach/technician for bars & beam. Yes?

I know right? He's doing some type of dance maybe???? Either way it was weird af.

They trained at the same gym I think that's what they are trying to say

Technically he did since WOGA is his gym. Valeri is the founder of the gym, so yes he did do it twice seeing as how he was the head coach there. Each person has an individual coach in gymnastics and then you have the head coach who oversees everything. Just like when Martha Karolyi was the head coach for the women's national team and each gymnast had their own personal coach, same thing applies to each gym (although some gymnasts can share a coach like at the 2009 nationals where Ivana, Rebecca, and Nastia had Valeri as their coach and Alicia and Aly have the same coach for 2010-2012)

Her coach is also the head coach for UCLA's gymnastics

I agree. Lol we’re watching this in 2020🤩

That comment was from 3 years ago; probably before Simone debuted lol.

hm interesting observation! No idea if French is mandatory throughout Canada, but Elfi is also of Swiss heritage and seems to be more proficient in German/Swiss German pronunciations. so maybe she ignored her French studies lol and focused on her family’s heritage instead

As in "coming out" into society e.g. the Victorians, not "coming out of the closet".

She had a 0.1 neutral deduction

Where was Bridget in 2011 visa?

Simone wasn't even a senior yet and wasn't on their radar so they didn't know yet about Simone

Yes but kytra is amazing please don’t dismiss her talent

Absolutely love Simone biles she's an amazing gymnist xx

I hate how they always do that whenever a gymnasts falls or makes a major mistake. They keep bringing it up and judging them on it like gymnasts aren't human smh. I remember when riley had a really dangerous beam fall and they kept showing it or bringing it up after every comp she was in after that. Same with Alicia from the Olympics smh. Let them live, it's already hard on them enough

@merevlr bruh this competition was in 2010 not 2009

There not Dumb at all mate. That's really nasty there catching a breath while they do the next tumbling pass. There allowed to do that. They are far from Dumb.Every single gymnist is Incredible there amazing. You couldn't do what they do 😠

*alexandra

All I heard was her laugh...didn't seem that bad to me, but maybe I missed what you are referring to.

oh shut up you WAG haters🙄

Not nice
