She was exceptional Tumblr and very consistent as you said. Physically very strong and a good fighter. Simone Biles beat her in 2016 and Simone was doing a very difficult routine as well. It’s very competitive at the top ha ha ha. Thanks for your message.

I’m being picky maybe but I think technically a leap starts and ends on one leg and it’s a “jump” when take off and landing two feet. Sissone is a jump. I love these videos though and correct me if I’m wrong ✌️🤸

@@reneepeters3045 Both of you are correct. That slight angle jump (4:21) was a Sissone. And when you take off with both legs it's a jump vs one leg being a leap.

Ya, it seems like I said it a bit different throughout the video ha ha. Thanks for my best.

And Raisman pronounces her name like the word “alley” - not Ollie. 😅 Your videos are awesome though! Keep them coming! 👏

@@bethmckenna8314 👍

I agree and I should have. I had it downloaded, but think I dragged in the wrong one and didn’t notice. It is a great one though. Rock on in my best.

Rock on and thank you. Really cool to watch so closely such great gymnastics. My best.

Thank you. It is fun to look so closely at great gymnastics. Rock on.

Thank you very much and I’m glad you enjoyed them. They’re fun to make. All my best.

Glad you enjoyed. Some great gymnastics.

That is awesome. Such great memories and moments. Yes, the more I watched Carly, the more I could see it was just natural for her to land quiet, soft and solid, so unique. Rock on and thanks for the comments.

Glad you enjoyed the video. She really was an elegant gymnast. From what I gathered, her back problems (sporadic and UN diagnosed bulging discs were not easy to manage. I would have liked to see what she would have done as well if she could have staying in longer. All my best.

Hahaha. The historic gymnastics of the past have brought the level of gymnastics to what it is today. I believe there are many that might find that evolution interesting. Rock on and all my best.

This is such a weird take? Also it's Shi Jones, not Jackson. If you wanna play the race card (unprovoked) at least get Shi's name right.

@@nmixx.changeupletsgo hope you enjoyed the analysis. Some really great gymnastics. My best.

Ya, that was great stick. so satisfying to see a stick on a hard blind landing especially in such a huge competition. Rock on.

Thanks for your message. I know many of the WOGA girls but I did not know carly was WOGA. Valeria Liukin is a friend and we competed together in my generation-When he was in Soviet Union. I do see many similarities in WOGA-their gymnastics. Carly had WOGA form on bars and looks like WOGA style. Nastia very elegant. I analyzed her bars: czcams.com/video/8ROLqr0OfLs/video.html really great stuff. I am pretty familiar with gymnastics, general biomechanics, technique and analyze based on my own gymnastics experience as a competitor but I am still learning many things about women's gymnastics and their personal histories. It is very interesting to me. I appreciate your insight and thanks. Its how I learn more. Personal characteristics of each gymnast and their approach, style and technique can vary slightly from each other but make a big difference. That is interesting to me. Rock on and again, thanks for your insightful message.

Thank you fro your message. Kyla is great on beam and I love her long lines, flexibility and skill level. She lands solid and stands up very much like Carly out of her skill which contributes to her softness as well. I believe Carly lands naturally softer but they both feel the beam well and are really fun to watch. Thanks again and all my best. If I eventually analyze Kyla, I would definitely side by side Carly and Kyla. Just really elegant movement.

Thank you and I am glad you enjoyed it. She really did some elegant gymnastics. All my best.

Thank you. Words are limiting but its all we have so we do our best. All my best.

Ya, it was awesome to see her stick so solid. Its a tough blind landing anyway so when she sticks, it rocks. Glad you enjoyed the video. It is really cool to watch her land. She is naturally soft and smooth. It is funny how small things make a large difference - not only in the qaulity of the skill but the over all perception of the skills. Thanks again and all my best. Rock on

that was a great Olympics for the U.S. There just seemed to be a special momentum and they were in the zone. As you said, that momentum as carried on for a long time in U.S. gymnastics and it is really cool to see. There is a lot of great gymnastics being done around the world right now so I am looking forward to the Olympics. Rock on and thanks for you insightful messge.

Thanks for your comment. I am aware it is maroney and say it normal but mispoke in the video. I did look at skinners vault after 2016, and you are correct that she did get both hands on the horse much better and more sqaured off and it seemed to me that was the main focus of her vault. She still does not push off the horse very much as is apparent in her lack of hight but you are correct, she did work hard on it and visually it looked much better over time. Rock on and thanks for your thoughts and insight.

I would really like to see Donnell on the team. He does some great skills and has a shot at medals I believe. A true veteran, he’s stuck in there and still does great gymnastics. I wish they could take more athletes on the team as they did in my generation.

Thanks for your insightful message. Yes, it would be a challenge for her to learn a chin. Also, Olympic trials are not a great place to be overly risky at as falls are big addictions among four events and can greatly affect you. Maybe if she had more time, or maybe if she’s really behind in the ranks and she can do it but inconsistently she might choose to do it, but I don’t think that will happen. She has definitely improved greatly recently and all athletes will be assumably at their best shape at trials.I could try to predict things but I would get many things wrong so I just speak about what I can see ha ha ha. It will be exciting though. Rock on and again thanks for the knowledgeable message.

No they are not deductions as they are considered part of the (tap swing or preparation swing) to accomplish those type of skills. On those giant glide skills like a tipelt, all gymnasts will have excessive arch in their swing before it and some other gymnast may choose to to a big pike into their arch. It is just a person choice of technique. thanks again.

@@OLYMPIANTEACHES-bh6gp Got it! Thank you so much for this explanation!

I have had a few request for him and he is on my list. Some great gymnastics and I like his parallel bar workd. I may be a bit slow with videos for a week or so as I am going to Olympic trails. Rock on and my best.

@@OLYMPIANTEACHES-bh6gp keep up the amazing work

Before the athlete vaults, they flash a number that tells the judge what vault the athlete is doing to do. Any deviation or characteristic that is different what what vault they flash that they are going to do can be a deduction. Khois vault is so fast and he twists all throughout the vault, it would be very difficult to see in real time what we see in the analyses but if a judge did notice it, they could take a deduction. It does not seem like they took any deduction for it in the competitions I watched. I wish I had a more clear answer but it is literally a judgment call and difficult to see in normal motion. Thanks for the questions and all my best.

Thank you. Yes, he has very clean and solid gymnastics and I hope he does as well. Rock on.

He is on my list and I will cover Brody very soon and look forward to it. I will be at Olympic trials so I might be a bit slow for a week or so. Rock on and thanks for the suggestion. My best.

Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it. It’s very fun to watch very closely at great gymnastics. Rock on.

Yes, the closer you look at her gymnastics, the more you see how really great she was. Rock on.

That is very kind of you and thank you. I have always enjoyed being a gymnast and the gymnastics world and love to look closely at it. Such great athletes. Thanks you again and all my best. Rock on.

Not sure I understand

​@OLYMPIANTEACHES-bh6gp he consistently likes to shrug after great performances. It's just a silly thing he does a lot

@@alchemyqueen2764 Hahaha. Thanks for the observation and I will look for that. I guess many athletes have their own idiosyncrasies or personal habits. thats funny. Thanks and rock on.

Thanks and I am glad you do. Rock on

Glad you like my videos and thanks. I do like to look much closer to better understand and appropriate the complexity of great gymnastics. All my best.

So glad you did and glad you enjoyed it. I really enjoyed doing this analysis. Rock Anand all my best.

All the athletes know, each other’s gymnastics inside out. It really depends who has the best day actually most the time. The judges know the athlete routines inside out as well. The goal is to push the limits of the athlete and still stay consistent. That’s the challenging competition. Anand all my best and thanks for your message.

Yes, so clean, great air sense, and always on top of his landings. Fun to watch.

She definitely had her own unique style and I was competing in her generation and I thought she was just as great then as she was when I did her analysis. Really just my preferred style I think and elegant to watch.

Thank you very much and I am glad you liked it. I have many good friends from Italy and love it there. Thank you for your message.

I think if they all have good competitions, they all have the potential to make the team. I think it will be very difficult for the selection committee to make choices. I would love for all of them to be on the team, but I also know there are only limited spots. I just want them all to have a great competition. They all have very strong histories already and do some great gymnastics. Rock Anand thanks for the message.

Haha. I am now 54. Gymnastics sure has changed. I still remain a fan. Yes, Simone is like a super ninja rules. She has a normal conversation or a little bit off day. She will still win. Very rare to see someone that dominant in any sport. She’s the Michael Phelps gymnastics. So cool to see the new levels they take gymnastics. We’re all getting older ha ha ha so we do the best we can. Rock on my friend.
