Isn't it crazy that in 2008 Shawn was one of the only gymnasts that performed the Amanar, and now so many do it.

Chellsie Memmel is by far one of my fave gymnasts. She, in my opinion is a near-perfect balance between power and artistry. She's powerful like Alicia Sacramone, but she can still swing bars with artistry like Nastia and has a very nice line, not to mention also that she's battled injury and has come back equally as strong mentally and physically. Amazing.

watching Mattie Larson now absolutely breaks my heart knowing everything she was going through.

Getting more and more excited, as I watch, about the possibility of Chellsie Memmel returning to competition...

hard to believe usa was once weak on vault

Alicia’s brows, chunky highlights and French tips are total nostalgic vibes

I love watching Shawn on the beam. Absolutely amazing!

looking back on this in 2017, it's so amazing to see how far nastia has come... from the commentators pronouncing her name incorrectly to being an olympian and having a cup named after her.

At 29:00 you can here Mccready talking to Aly Raisman about Alicia and the 2008 Olympics and he tells her maybe one day she'll make it there herself. that's just mind blowing to me.

Shawn doing a full twisting double as her LAST tumbling pass (out of 5!) is just insane.

Anyone else watching this during the Covid stay at home order? Love watching these old gymnastics videos! In this one, it bugged me that Nastia's dad didn't kiss her unless she did a good routine. What's up with that?

Shawn on the beam is absolutely amazing. I never fear she will fall or make major mistakes. She seems bonded to the beam gods.

Watching this in late 2017. Sam is so underrated...she was amazing💕

Memmel here...discussing expectations...and NOW she's looking to make 2021 team!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

I am watching all of Chellsie Memmel's archived meets as she shares her adult gymnastics journey during the COVID pandemic in 2020. It is heartbreaking that the system broke her but it is wonderful to see her amazing form is retained a dozen years later. That she can train extremely difficult skills with intelligence and respect for her body while lovingly parenting her young children is heartwarming. Imagine if she gets that secondary nominative US spot for beam if we do have a Tokyo 2020-21ish games! She will join Chuso in literally reshaping the sport! Elite athlete mothers unite!

So weird to see Nastia competing and not hear her commentating

I'm watching this instead of the 2014 one.............. I miss Shawn.

i just love listening to the commentators when they don't know we can hear them. makes me giggle

Back when 14.250 was bad on floor.😂

Nastia’s UB was cleaner here than in Beijing. Her handstands were fantastic.

Yes. Now the US is known as amanar-palooza.

I love that Shawn still visits Chow. Nice to see with how many bad things are going on in USA gymnastics in the last few years. They really had and have a great coach and athlete relationship. Now even a friendship.

So crazy watching this in 2020 when chellsie is back and in better shape than ever. And her skills in her current training videos look sharper and bigger than her elite days hands down.

Watching this and seeing Nastia got gold in the AA Beijing Olympics made me realise that "Time and Chance" happens to us all regardless of our preparation. On the day it mattered most, the universe aligned in her favour.

love Bridget, I wish she would have been used more at the Olympics!!

For the record, Valeri is not incredibly cold towards Nastia. They just choose to keep their personal relationship more at home unless she needs him as her dad. It is Nastia who insists on this. She is stubborn as far as sticking toward her goals in gymnastics.

Not quite related, but just want to say I LOVE both Shawn and Nastia's leos+hair in this comp. Shawn's weaved braids were super cute, and I love her off-shoulder leo design. I've noticed she wears this design a lot, and it makes it look like a leotard-ball gown mix! It's almost her signature look, as I don't see other gymnasts do the cut. Also impressed that she made orange work lol. And as usual, Nastia looked pretty in pink. Does anyone know if there's a professional makeup artist/hair stylist that puts the gymnasts' looks together before the comp?

Love that beautiful Colgate smile from Shawn Johnson. The world needs more Shawn Johnson’s. She is a great gymnast. She is as tough as they come.

whew Amber looks so relieved to have gotten through that vault. good for her for going for it !

Its funny that in 08 USA was a bit weak on vault and now they're by far the best in the world :)

Crazy to see how rare amanars were only 9 years ago. Almost every elite gymnast competes one today.

17:00 Gosh...Bridgette had THE best inside stalder.

Haha they thought this was chellsie's comeback

Can’t believe I’m watching this in 2020, but I love watching my favorite gymnasts way back when.

They harped so much on Nastia for being "old" at 18 while Chellsie at the same meet was showing us how it's done at 20 (and is still showing us at 33!). So ridiculous.

Ha you can hear Aly in the background at around 28:00!

I'm sorry but is Mehi a vampire? The guy looks exactly the same here as he did in Rio.

Always been a fan of Chelsea and Shawn. They seem relatable, friendly, and I don’t get any vibes of pretensions from them,

I never knew Bridget was such a beast on bars!! I don’t remember that!

a 16 on floor for Shawn? She's my fave gymnast of all time but that was just a ridiculous score. less than 0.4 of deductions doesn't even make sense.

I really wish Nastia would stop hiking up her leo. I’m seeing parts of her I never ever wanted to see.

I love janas dismount !!! I wish she made the team.

can you post the 2008 olympic trials? I was there and want to relive it!!

Omg back when dty was considered difficult

July 2020.....Chellsie is training again!!

Baby beast shawn! She's amazing and so young here!

Chellsie is my queen! Always 😍♥️

I just love Alicia

ivana hong turned 15 on dec 11th in 2007... that's the minimum age allowed to compete at worlds as gymnasts were grandfathered because it is used as a qualifier for the Olympics... she'd be 16, just barely, by the end of 2008.

Shawn Johnson is amazing,she does every difficult routine so easy.Her beam routine was fantastic,what score did she get for her beam routine?

it’s so crazy when Shawn was hitting the floor you couldn’t hear it at all but nowadays you can hear the girls SLAMMING into the floor because of how the sport has progressed..it must be so bad for their legs!!

That time when you could have a 17 on bars

1:02:00 - Is it just me, or should that mat be pulled more towards the front of the bars? It seems to be at a place where the gymnast could dismount with their feet half-on and half-off the mat, causing a fall!?

If Chellsie wouldn't have been injured and had a DTY still in 2006 she would've crushed it

everytime i see bridget talk to or hug marvin sharp i get uncomfy

I have an inkling that nastia didn’t have good nutrition because she struggled so much with endurance and kaitlyn ohashi trained with her and said they had challenges to eat 500 calories a day...???

guys plz stop hating on Nastia. a lot of people say that shes too tall and her form is horrible. i mean she didnt have the best performance at visas, but at the olympics, she won five medals. i think her form on bars is beautiful and on beam, shes so graceful. on floor her form isnt the best on that double front, but when she does her twisting skills, her form is basically perfect. also on her leaps, she gets great hight and her flexibility is practicall perfect, she hits 180 degree splits on each one. on vault, she does things easier than some of the others, but if she does something easy with perfect form and a stuck landing, it would be better than if she did an Amanar vault and possibly injure herself. also, you dont have to compare Nastia and Shawn. i really like both of their gymnastics. shawns tumbling on floor is so difficult but she does it so effortlessly. on vault, she does a really hard Amanar vault and she has so much power and hight. bars is a weaker event for Shawn but she is still really good at it. her dismount, the Ray is rated G in cop. on beam, i think she had the hardest routine in the world. so good.❤

does anyone hear aly at around 28??? aw!!!

Ty for telling me what Shawn Johnson's beam routine score was since the video cut out and there was no way of knowing what her score was.I checked it out and she got a 16.050

Aw, going back down memory lane

I wish Shawn would have used these passes with her 2007 choreography and music I preferred those much more!

And now chellsie does another comeback and she is better than ever on vault she actually trains the amanar

Ivana has amazing form on her tumbling passes!

Notice around 29:30 u can see the commentators behind nastia and Shawn. At that exact moment they were talking about Shawn and nastia both. I wonder if they could hear the commentators?

How do they decide what order of apparatus the gymnast goes in at Nationals?

Loving rewatching this and these USA heroes. During this difficult time of Coronavirus quarantine, this is uplifting. USA rocks. ⚡️🤸‍♀️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️⚡️

I think Shawn Johnson and Sam Peszek look very similar, their body types and their gymnastics

9.5 execution on vault for shawn but a 9.4 execution for nastia? BULL

How did nastia get .6 off vault with a stuck landing and shawn got only .5 off with a low shoulder and .3 step

men! the days on it was possible to see a score of 17,050

Why was Shawn competeing bars over bridget sloan in team final.....

Remember when people thought no one could be better than Shawn and nastia

Comments section a little aggressive anybody says something against Nastia and people go crazy. Like everyone is allowed their opinion and guess what Nastia does not care if you like her or not so let people say what they want about over scoring or sloppy execution. Nobody is being nasty and calling her fat or stupid so get over it.

Amber Trani: (decides to do a run by instead of a vault) Tim: “ and this is a major error” Lol

“Oh, 2 tenths for one step out?” Alicia was NOT shy lol. But I’m assuming the second tenth is from finishing after her music ended?

Can't believe in 2008, vault was the US' weakness! I JUST remembered (don't know why) that Shawn's Amanar was the only one back then!

I absolutely love Shawn’s leo here

I love Shan Johnson

At 1:10:23, why does that guy think its ok to try to give shawn a hug while she’s bending over, what a creep

Love shawns routine but I hate the music... I feel like there’s no beat to follow.

I have a couple things to say. My FIRST thing is about Nastia. Why is Tim so hateful. What she does is hard and it's annoying to keep hearing him repeat her floor wasn't as good. Are u doing FIVE hard gymnastics passes basically in a row? No, you sitting on your butt hating on people. And why are people saying Nastias vault was better than Shawns? Shawn got a higher sore because of her difficulty, even though Nastia might've had better lines. TWO. Alicia Sacramoni. Like, after her beam routine he said that her beam routine wasn't very good but it's the best she could do? Like come on, again, ur sitting on ur butt, you job is to inform no to criticize AMAZING gymnast. And Shawn. Shawn and Nastia is like Simone and Madison Kocian. Shawn and Simone have the power and heighth and Madison and Nastia are good at bars and beam and have beautiful lines. I guess my point is we shouldn't critique other gymanst because we can't do have of what the do and this is coming from a competitive gymnast.

Who thinks Andrew should make a reaction video to old shawn videos?

Does anyone else watching Shawn on floor with her dancing think of Gabby Douglas?

who is the big man with the blue shirt on during Shawn's floor exercise ?

Chellsie and Ivana's vaults were underscored. Nastia and shawn were OVERSCORED

Alicia on beam always seems to focus too much on arm movements. They don’t add anything for me and are quite distracting.

shawn! love her leo here!

I love Natias :) #PinkNation

Omg its Krista!!! I love her

Do u know what Shawn Johnson's beam routine was?

Lol what was up with the crew playing clips and the commentators not knowing which they were?

What’s Shawn’s beam score? Good job in editing the video, whoever you are. *sigh

i actually rly like shawns bars

Anyone know the music in the background around the time they are showing Shawn on bars? :)

I don't know why Bridget's salute bothers me, In my opinion, I like gymnasts who have a slight arc in the backs during a salute. No one attack me😥😥😥😥😭😭😭😭😭😧

I love Nastia's leo, and yes marloessss10

Essas meninas são lindas, se filmassem meu rosto de tão perto assim, as crianças em casa se assustariam 😂

aly's voice at 28:18

Durade sandstorm was playing during warmups lmao
