What a class act in how she saluted the audience after her set. I was rooting for her the whole Games. Loved her.

"she refused to step aside" and "everybody is talking about Nastia and Shawn, there are other gymnasts too, don't forget about Yang Yilin" Even when Dagget was talking about the Chinese girls he wasn't actually talking about the Chinese girls.

This was just beautiful. Pure elegance and technique. Hopefully China will have gymnasts like her in this quad. Arguably one of the best choreographed Chinese floor routines

the form in her triple twist is just the best i have ever seen. no leg crossing. just amazing

Any gymnast: exist. Tim Dagget: you know, Shawn and Nastia.....

I remember my mom and i watching this and then her turning to look at me like, wow that was great, and me nodding my head in amazement. I think we were both secretly rooting for this lovely gymnast. MAGIC!

I love her music.

Edgy, dramatic, poised, beautiful. One of the most underrated gymnasts of the decade.

this music and her movements are so haunting and beautiful

Like a swan, just pure elegance

She had the best salute of all the gymnasts in Beijing. It was a great routine (not perfect) but it is her form on the triple twist that just WOW me every time. The song played very well for her movements and interpretation. With exception of Chen Fei, china does struggle on the floor exercise BUT Yan Yiling really fought to the end. I am happy she made it to the podium because her style and hard work needed to be recognized

yang yilin amazed the world with this, I rooted for her all the Time

1:33 - 1:45 - the best 12 seconds of the entire AA competition at Beijing IMO.

For me, this trio (Nastia, Shawn and Yang) is the BEST, EVER! I've never had SO MUCH fun watching a AA competition like I had watching this one right here. My heart was completely diveded. Sometimes I was cheering up for Nastia, but than for Yang, but than for Shawn... I'm SO GLAD that all of my favorite AA gymnast were on the podium!

Wow.. Great choice of floor music here... And Yang is a superb gymnast too:)

Such a captivating performance that even Tim was speechless for most of the routine!

I really really miss her!!!She was like unstoppable and ohh.... she was just AMAZING!!

this era of gymnastics feels like a fever dream. chinese gymnasts as all around, floor, vault finalists

was here for 10k, ..........here for 100k...still her masterpiece

@bernardmvella I agree. I like the edginess of this routine. I love how it's really dramatic.

I love this routine. She's so graceful and her music is my favorite, miss watching her :(

very very good music and routine, love it so much

Beijing 2008 had such good floor music

this routinje was so artistic, one of my favourites from those olympics

he kexin and yang are my favorite chinese gymnasts

0:43

beautiful yang yilin

i still love this floor routine so much!

She is my favorite gymnast 🫶🏻 so nice elegant and clean routine ✨✨

great choice of music!!

so beautiful

I looove the starting pose!!!

i love her music!!!!!!

Her dance is memorizing

This is my floor music

Simplemente hermosa rutina,una interpretación realmente dramática. Preciosa

that was the most beautiful floor in history!!!

Yilin Yang é tão elegante, umas das mais elegantes que já vi. Saudades dela! 🇧🇷

I was rooting for my Americans, particularly Shawn Johnson, but I enjoyed Yang Yilin! I loved her gymnastics. I only wish she had more variety in her tumbling passes on her floor routine. The only back somersault was the double pike and other four were just twisting or twisting series.

it was in 2008, but only 4 tumbles are allowed since 2009. you can read the code of points (if you are interested, that is) for more information.

Pure elegance

Siempre fui fan de esta niña

Not one somersault till that double pike! China knew how to play this code!

god, i fucking love her routine

Chinese girls are the best in the world in the triple twist

She is one of my fave for sure and was robbed that gold

Amazing routine! The dance element was fantastic.... I'm only glad Nastia too has grace on the floor. The thought that Johnson with her 'hey mickey, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind' beat this is tradgic. Artistry like this should have an extra full point awarded to her score!!

where did you get the video? i've been looking for the full NBC coverage for such a long time!

What video from NBC in the AA competition didn't mention Shawn Johnson or Nastia Liukin. And can't you wait until Nastia gets up and does her floor before saying what she already scored before?

He kevin got the last spot and jiang yuyuan and tan six in are alternates Ps. i love her music

and for this floor I felt that Cheng Fei had a better more variety in her floor from 2004 than this one

The Olympic Team is Huang Qiushuang, Sui Lu, Yao Jinnan, and Deng Linlin, and He Kexin, Jiang Yuyuan, and Tan Sixin are competing for the last spot.

beautiful dramatic chine back plizzzzzz

The music is from the movie Moulin Rouge

I thought you were talking about Yang, but I knew about Shawn's knee.

hello, what is the title of this song? thanks (:

Wasn’t the absolute best routine but it was plenty enough! She was such a good gymnast!

Does anyone know the actual name of this floor music because it's my floor music and idk the name lol

no because shawn johnson and nastia went ahead of her afterwards (this is the final rotation and she got the bronze) :D

Does anyone know if she's gonna be in Olympics 2012?

they canged that from the 05-08 cof to the 09-12 cof. Now you're only allowed to have 4 passes (2005-2008 you were allowed to do 5 passes)

Moulin Rouge - Bolero (Closing Credits)

what did she end up scoring for this routine?

Nastia may habe won the hold, but Yang Yilin won our 💕 hearts

The end was like see a beautiful swan

Yang Yilin scored a 15.000 on this routine.

Shawn or Yang? I was talking about how Shawn tore her ACL and MCL skiing.

hey hw much dd she scored??

lol i used this music for my pe internal last year lol

Anyone knows the music? :D

What happened to her knee??

Wheres the Love Button at?

sad that the difference between bronze and silver for her was the switch ring in her floor that wasn't credited.

Shawn Johnson DOES have artistry, just because it's different than the more graceful gymnasts doesn't mean it isn't artistic. What you're thinking about is subjective/opinion based and the judges can't do that. And Shawn's routine is to the "August Rush" soundtrack, where the fuck did you get "hey mickey, you're so fine" from anyway?

There's no need to curse. I'm speaking figuratively about the 'hey mickey' element - alluding to the fact that her 'artistry' is more reminiscent of cheerleading rather than balletic / classic dance, which for me is the style that Yang has. Don't get me wrong, Shawn is an awesome tumbler, her full twisting double is sick, but when it comes to dance, you simply have to admit that she moves quite stiff and robotic, lacks fluidity and grace. That's my opinion, and I know many many people share it.

15.000

Really nice but still Rebecca my favorite

Maybe back then, but from the video of her going through the choreography in 2011 on floor she looked pretty amazing. It's a shame about her knee though.

I think her music would go quite decent with Nastia's routine.

She is the most graceful gymnast in the Chinese WAG! Pointed toes, perfect lines... Even on the bars! She works beam and bars even nicer that Nastia! Cause in 2008 nastia had a froggy dismount

does that mean she got the lead?

Olha a Yang tem uma linda apresentação so que a dificuldade e baixa ela poderia fazer o dupla duplo e um duplo esticado tsucarrara eles iriam aumaentar a diculdade se ela fizesse os tres entao nossa em falo ia arrembentar e arrumar essa terceira passada se ela quiser ocntinuar com ela pois altura nao tem nee 1:04

She has beautiful dance but her tumbling passes are a little low :/

If this was the same code as 2004 I believe she would have gotten a metal.

Ela foi a medalha de prata, pois o amanar da Shawn não deveria ter sido validado.

The gymnasts of today are so much bulkier than these ones

ouch....beam fail at 00:48

What was her score?!?!?

realy? I have my hopes in Sui lu...

worlds longest legs...

Why does nobody talk about tim when hes praising gymnasts from other countries. Like you guys push this narrative that hes a racist American when he litterly praises gymnasts of color all the time.

unfortunately, no...

imo she shouldnt have been placed as high as she was, but i cant ignore the triple turn.. honestly never seen anyone do it as flawless as she did

I agree...this score did nothing but make things confusing. Still trying to figure out how pavlova can be in three event finals score higher than yang on 3 events in the AA and still come up 7th

She is so much smaller and younger than a lot of the other gymnasts. I wonder if it is easier for her than Nastia Liukin?!?

I guess for this routine...Im not seeing it...for that third pass, and the fact that she stuck no landings she scored only .05 less than Pavlova. For me if the music was slower it would have flowed better. No variety in the tumbling. I just felt it was an okay floor exercise but didn't deserve a 15.

she is just a little kid.. I wonder what kind of parents she has, or how pressure the put in Yang, anyway she likes that.

How old was she there?

real artistry here, not like Nastia

Boooo 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
