Well there may be a touch of jealousy natually but yes Aly is a true team player and amazing sportsman. Love her so much.

HB truly Ali has no jealousy she is genuine

@@marciamathieu4441 oh I know shes genuine, shes a sweet girl and a really good sportsman. But I could still see deep down her being sad she cant be as good as Simone or winning 2nd place always to Simone. Jealousy doesn't always have to be a negative thing.

Oh, youre such a prefect person, thankyou anyway 👍

Thank yooou!!!! That was so nice of you to post that entire list! (a-HEM...**Throat Clearing** This SHOULD BE YOUR JOB, "OLYMPIC CHANNEL," NOT something just left up to some generous person posting in the friggin comments section to do!!!)

you are an amazing human being.

thx!

KickinItWithKristen thank you for this gift

Yea everyone thinks it’s easy

It's not underrated so be quiet

underrated where? lol

It isn't underrated lmao. Also- no one thinks it is easy. Gymnastics is one of the most viewed sports in the Olympics. Educate yourself.

@@taylorburtis yeah DURING the Olympics. Gymnastics isn't as popular outside of it like world championships and cups for example so no, that person isn't wrong. You can't see gymnastics as often as stuff like football and basketball so it's not as watched as those sports normally. Literally most of the people I know either don't know anything about it or only really see some of it during the Olympics. One of them only knows it because of katelyn ohashi's college floor lmao

I say if you didn't cry you have no feelings

@@carocappato - I agree!

I actually prefer her floor and Laurie’s over Simone. They have more danceable features. Nothing against Simone JMO.

@@hazeleyeesI think Simone ‘s dance routine is more lively and far more entertaining than anyone else’s but we all have different tastes n opinions which I respect, and I love Ally’s as second best

@@sweethoneybee1406 One thing for sure its going to be hard toping Rio and London.

Thisgirls are so wonderful and unique to do hers

What happened ?

The USA gymnasts were being sexually assaulted by their team doctor during this time. It was awful.

@@meganmorris5105 oh god...

it's sadder to me how USA gymnastics had already decided Maggie Nichols would not be part of the team before tryouts even began because her parents were following up on the abuse..

strong women scare me

Me too!

@@sugarandspice2136 me three!

Goosebumps every time. And everyone applauded even the competitors. She’s just that jaw-dropping. She’s amazing.💗

Weirdo 🤦🏻‍♀️

i laugh

She’s totally cleaned up her gymnastics, she used to be full of energy with very little control over it but now she spatial awareness and body control is pretty freaking insane.

Do all competitive girl gymnasts eat green apples a lot?

And now world AA champion!!

She didn't deserve the vault gold as for the all round that she have belonged to Shilese jones

​@@saragrant9749unfortunately

I missed this 😂 so funny

She’s so beautiful and cute when smiling

@@arivanillaNatasia liukin,Aliya mustafina, aly raisman, Nadia Comaneci, ludmilla torescheva, nellie Kim among the few gymnasts who has a beautiful face.

God this is such a good distraction from corona

i will never get over on how shang was so badly robbed here... her beam and floor scores were just way too low. aliya had a major mistake on her beam routine, she missed her only acrobatic series, and also had some issues on floor

unpopular opinion: i don't think shang was robbed, her vault was worse than aliya missing a beam acro series.

@@liceous FACTS. People just like to conveniently ignore just how weak of a vaulter she is. The weakest of the weak and yet they're surprised she didn't medal?

LB7 Aliya didn’t have a major mistake on beam for her acrobatic series. All she did was miss the bonus points for the connection because she was too tentative. And she scored a full point lower than Shang on beam, since she had a bunch of baubles as well. I wouldn’t consider that her over scoring. Shang’s vault was only a 5 difficulty, causing her to score very low, in the 13’s, where the top qualifiers were in the 15s. That is a major difference. Especially since vault always has more inflated scores than beam and these beam judges were being harsh anyway. The vault just wasn’t good enough to get her all the way there, regardless of other routines. You need that inflated score to measure up.

@QPHashSS77 you can continue to be pressed and Aliya will continue to possess her medal. Mad? Good.

Now melnikova is a great leader

Jamie Sommerville agree! BBC coverage is my favorite. NBC is over the top annoying.

These are actually Australian commentators BBC is British. Agree way better than USA commentary and no biased comments

Lozzie K oh my goodness! I’ll have to remember that. Their commentary is my favorite. Thanks

Why NBC not contract Shannon Miller? She is great commentator, I remember her when watching TF 2012

Lozzie K It is BBC they just have Australian commentators, this is also the Olympic channel broadcast.

That’s how you become an Olympic champion- calm and cool under fire!

i think thtas gross

@@boblearner4480 What's gross?

aliya mustafina the best of the last decade to me.

You need to have in mind that she was malnourished as a child due to poverty, and that's most likely the reason she looks so "undeveloped". You can still see her routines from last years nationals and it's shocking to know that she hasn't grown an inch... But that's never been an obstacle to her gymnastics career!

@@Victor-ch6xp she also likely stunted her growth with all the training. Overtraining causes a lot of stress on the body and it’s hormones which is why a lot of gymnasts are tiny and almost look prepubescent

@@Aaron-rd3cd to be fair most chinese gymnastics look really tiny also japan might just be body shape

@@I_AM_HYDRAA It's because Chinese people generally are shorter.

@@Victor-ch6xp Her parents must be real proud of her from growing out of poverty.

I'm CERTAINLY not saying this to dog on Simone whatsoever, I think she's one of the most amazing athletes of all time & I love her!!! But... Am I the only one who thinks it's a little odd that she gets SOoooo much praise and high scores for how "perfect" she is, when she, quite honestly, very rarely ever compeltely STICKS her landings...? I guess she does on FLOOR- but most ppl do. & I understand that she executes her skills so well & performs such HIGH LEVEL skills that getting a .1 or even a .3 penalty for taking steps on landing isn't a HUGE deal for her... But, I just don't see her dead-stick her landings very often at ALL- particularly on Vault & on her Beam dismounts... Seems to stick her bars dismounts a little more frequently- but bars aren't her best event, so she doesn't perform super hard routines & therefore she probably has more gas in the tank & can/NEEDS to focus more on sticking her landing in order to get a decent score still... Like I said, still think Simone is incredible- and I know a lot of times she takes a step or more like a "bounce" on landing because she has TOO MUCH POWER- but I'd sure love to see her reach TRUE perfection with more stuck landings!!!

@@carliecole2563 I totally agree!! Imagine how satisfying it would be to see her stick a triple double at the olympics next year

@@carliecole2563 I think the reason is, sticking the landing really isn't going to give her much higher scores. A .1 or .3 isn't going to do much to her score when her execution and difficulty level is so much higher than anyone elses. I think theres too much emphasis on a stuck landing. Yes -- it makes the routine seem that much better but score wise, it's a small thing. She doesn't land with her chest low which would be another deduction alot of people get. Shes just clean, powerful and ahead of her time. But yes, I'd absolutely love to see stuck landings every time.

@@carliecole2563 If we're being technical about her greatness, she can let the extra hops, steps, or out of bounds pass in her routines because her difficulty is so much higher than everybody else. But gymnastics is much more than that. The reason why everyone loves and thinks she's great is because she pushes the boundaries of the sports. She makes it look effortless yet complex. I, for myself, don't do gymnastics, but because of her, I have grown so much respect for the sports and for the athletes.

@@carliecole2563 Lol, gymnastics is not only about stick your landing. For sure you didn't have any knowledge on how deductions is made in women's gymnastics

Do all competitive girl gymnasts eat green apples a lot?

It was ridiculously overscored

@@Bxyxox Agreed

​@@Bxyxox she hope on all of her turns and she shouldn't get full credit for them. But the judges continue to turns a blinds eye.

So cute 😍🥰

Time stamppppp

27:27

Omgosh great catch! That was so cute!

Yeah it was funny the expression she made

Honestly watching the Tokyo AA was amazing to see everyone being so happy for eachother!

Love các bạn Simone👍👏👏👏💕💕💕😍😍😍🌹🌹🌹

...she IS Great, but man, am I the ONLY one who just REALLLLLY wants to bake that girl some cookies? And brownies? A cake? Some super creamy, buttery sauced pasta...?! All of it?! She is just TOO thin! I don't know HOW she can have enough muscle mass to be physically be strong enough to do these things- and all back to back!? Her head is almost the widest/biggest part of her entire body!!! Those little toothpick legs- I'm always scared they're just gonna snap right in half when she lands!! How tall is that tiny thing & what do u think she weighs?! And how on EARTH IS THAT GIRL ALMOST 20YRA OLD?!?!??

@@carliecole2563 She was malnourished as a child as a result of growing up in poverty. That's why she stayed petite all her life and if prone to getting sick. Be more respectful.

@@carliecole2563 jeez, you don't know her. i'm sure she has doctors who keep up with her body and weight. no need for the internet to play doctor

@@carliecole2563 Body shaming in any way is just sad. "Too big for society's ideal? Gross. Eat less. Too small for society's ideal? Ew. Eat more." It's sad that anyone still thinks this way, let alone posts it on the internet. 😳

@@carliecole2563 Your comment is beyond asinine. So ignorant, uneducated, callous and tactless. Please educate yourself and learn how to effectively communicate, especially when speaking about fellow human beings. As others have so kindly shared with you already, Shang grew up in severe poverty and was malnourished during childhood and her growth was therefore stunted and affected plus to add on top of that, the sport itself. Please do some research prior to leaving such an obnoxious comment...I mean, you went ONNNN AND ONNNN ffs! Also, what if she was an anoretic? That’s a mental disorder and you’re sitting there making fun of her for it and downplaying it as if it’s fixable with a burger. How ignorant. Please do better for yourself. I hope this wakes you up and motivates you to change your way of thinking and your style of commenting 👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻 I hope this helped 🤗

Areezaj Evol mine too.

Mine too! She (Aly) said it was sort of like winning gold to her, knowing how no one could beat Simone, and I understand that! I love her so much! 🥰🇺🇸

@@lizmiller7681 s d to

Why do you think it's a remark about her body? Aly doesn't have very good form on most of her skills.

I missed that what did she say?

Amelia A She mentioned Alys leg strength from conditioning. Nothing about her body was mentioned. Besides Alys form is awful on every apparatus.

It was about her body/looks "not as aesthetically pleasing as some of the others but she is sturdy"

@@angelamiller3911 They are all sturdy. It was about her movement and dance, she keeps it very stiff and assured.

She made a great leader for her team that year indeed. Her experience was crucial.

She was SOOO underscored on beam. If an American executed that routine like she did, they would've scored in the 8.8-9.1 range easily.

Manali Ogle Shang Chunsong

I’m crying watching her! Poor sweet girl! She did so well and I’m so sad for her ♥️

@@MeriPT I can understand her score on floor, but beam was way too low. The routine was basically flawless

@@mht4908 but don’t forget vault really lets her down because she lacks distance, definitely height and form. Big deductions so it’s understandable

me too :'(

Sanaa Issa all you had to do was go to the Olympic channel and type in rio women’s individual

And you'll be waiting a while longer :(

You do realize that she was a grown adult here?

@@catherinegee2741 She was 19, not technically an adult just yet..

too bad school is gonna distract me even more now

2021 is 5 years after Jade Barbosa gets injured- I mean 2

I agree sick of the coivd

@Grumpychiken22 Too right! For the longest time they’d only posted the 15-minute wrapup of the winners, but I enjoy seeing others in the top 24... Stay safe, and I’m hoping to see the Games in 2021!

I swear 🥺

Do all competitive girl gymnasts eat green apples a lot?

Reegy Reegs samw :/

Nah she placed correctly. People like to ignore that she's the weakest vaulter of the entire AA final. And that even though she doesn't have bobbles on beam or steps on floor, that her form is subpar to put it lightly. Maybe it has to do with her slight figure, but her knees and feet never seem right and I'm sure she gets a lot of deductions for that and for lack of power/amplitude - something you probably can't see on film but the judges can see.

Weight lifting

Aliya botched her beam set and Shang still couldn't beat her. That proves the third best gymnast in the final was really Aliya (in reality Aliya was the 5-6th best AA'er in Rio, behind the Americans, but that's irrelevant). -- Like Andrew said, Shang's judging was fair. She wasn't able to fix her knees. Though I really wanted her to take AA bronze after being sick. Her Rio performance reminds me of Yao Jinnan's in London. Full of talent, just unlucky with illness/injury. ):

Don´t forget that her 3 1/2 twist was underrotated and her 3 twist was low, and even though she stuck perfectly both the punch fronts after that, the judges aren´t fooled easily by these covers.

Do you think she will compete again

She's confirmed to be

For which she will NEVER get credit

Well...

This has not aged well.

I'm with you. I've always thought that Mustafina deserve that bronze medal.

@@RetroDanceFreak96 wait why didn't they count her layout on beam?

It was her vault that did her in- a full twisting yurchenko will not get the job done at that level unfortunately.

@@saragrant9749and Aliya’s floor was ridiculously overscored.

@@Bxyxox spoken by an individual with absolutely no training on gymnastics judging. Get certified to do that, THEN come and whine about scoring procedures you subsequently actually have knowledge of.

@@Bxyxox I agree. So was her uneven bars event!

Do all competitive girl gymnasts eat green apples a lot?

Not a legitimate one

@@dawnbaswell1853 not a legitimate one? And how pray tell do you assume that?

@QPHashSS77 every time I see a negative, argumentative, combative, rude comment....it always seems to be you. Interesting.

Yes! I love watching gymnasts from the Netherlands on the floor and beam. It’s really breathtaking! ♥️

Do all competitive girl gymnasts eat green apples a lot?

Elegance. 😂

Raisman does not really embody elegance lol

You mean the ACL injury? I guess Aliya might have gotten a couple more tenths on Simone if not for the ACL ending her Amanars back in 2011. But to Aliya's credit, what she did in the first two rotations was about as perfect as she could have been, which is why she temporarily had the lead.

@@e2theeyepie Yes I meant the ACL injury. And what you've said is true, I just keep getting amazed by her every time I watch her.

If she hadn’t torn her ACL in 2010, she most likely would have won in 2012. She was constantly injured in the 2013-16 quad, she fought her way back and if she hadn’t been injured she most probably would have gotten silver.

Imagine Aliya doesn't have a fall in beam, and doing Amanar in London 2012. Wow wow wow. Best Russian Team ever, Aliya, Vika, Ksenia, Grishina, Paseka (without messy amanar and cheng). Good old days

Achmad Choirul Huda She probably would have won gold as she was more consistent on beam before her injury. Also she could’ve won gold on vault with Maroneys fall. What an amazing Russian team it would’ve been.

Sasa

...I would say more like the Michael Jordan???!! I've never really been big on basketball though- but- isn't Michael Jordan more fitting?!?

Carlie Cole it could go either way, I mean to a die hard Lakers fan like me Kobe is the greatest player, to anyone else it might be Michael Jordan, to some people its Lebron James. Majority say MJ but people have different opinions

@@nicolahhh ...guess I don't know much about basketball!!! Lol

Carlie Cole hey that’s fine lol, Michael is still probably the most popular answer

A better comparison is Edwin Moses.

After an ACL injury that has ended the careers of most other elite athletes… that’s what’s most impressive.

I was thinking about the same thing. It must have been close in her thoughts, but she blocked it it and took care of business. She was always able to do that. Love her! 💖🇺🇸

QPHashSS77 bUlLshIT. aLiYa WAs oVerScOrED. Yeah, troll. State your reasons.

Same. So annoyed about hearing about this country being over scored, that country being underscored, blah blah blah.

HB Yeah. Funny how the same people are like “these artistry deductions exist?“

Hey, u just seemed like someone who actually KNOWS a lot about this sport, so, I'm asking YOU! Sorry thinks off-topic tho- I admittedly don't know a lot about gymnastics; I enjoy watching and have started watching more &more the past few years! Which of the 4 apparatus is the most physically TAXING& probably requires the most, I guess your say the most endurance or stamina?? Obviously, I wouldn't say vault, it's over in just a few seconds- thru definitely seem like the bars (according to announcers??) Take a ton of strength & stamina... especially if they fall or have an error and have to re do parts. I would THINK the floor XR would be by far the most exhausting.... but then I could also see how even BEAM might be the most tiring because it's be so MENTALLY exhausting & that can in turn become equally as exhausting physically?! Ahhh!!! So, what would YOU say is the most tiring apparatus...?? (Again, sorry this is so random! I just tried to find someone in the comments who seemed to know their stuff! Lol)

I was thinking about the same thing. It must have been close in her thoughts, but she blocked it it and took care of business. She was always able to do that. Love her! 💖🇺🇸

Her switch ring on the beam was one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.. wow!

Aliya looked scared 😀

Awokawoka😀

omg hahaha

lmfao

I watched that so many times 😂😂😂
