jordan chiles's save bahahaha, she was actually credited for an E skill (a triple turn) even though she was only supposed to do a double wolf turn (D skill) 😂😂
Wondered what they would do about that...lol
Angie Lin I think she may have been just credited for a full turn + double turn (since I think her foot touched down) but that ilself has a CV of 0.1, so BV of that combo is the same of an E element. :-)
She should make that a Chiles lol
Alchamei...she did a full turn in wolf, then a triple turn on toe. (4 turns total)
Alchamei Actually her foot touched the beam after her wolf turn. She did the whole triple turn without her foot touching the beam. 😊
Am I the only one who adores Morgan Hurd? I just love her gymnastics despite her few mistakes over the past few competitions, she truly has so much potential.
Morgi brought elegance to USA gymnastics, which reminds me of the fact that this is an "artistic gymnastics" competition, rather than a "powerful gymnastic" one.
YESS! I absolutely love her!
Caroline Ash No, everyone loves her. She just needs to be more consistent.
She is fantastic. With most of the first time seniors on team USA she just needs experience
Yes! I'm rooting for her, she's also the sweetest person in real life!!
I see Ragan as little Shawn and Riley as mini Nastia
SimplyVic True
#TheDrama omg yessss
Omg! I just realized that and it is so true! Riley has the technique, gracefulness (if that’s a word), and difficulty.
Ragan has the power, strength, and stature just like Shawn.
I’m sure they will both be 2020 Olympic champions!
2018 world championship day 2 Riley McCluster
And maggie Nichols always reminds me of a younger aly raisman
*2020 Olympics, Riley McCusker is competing with a completely new beam routine*
NBC Announcers: But do you think she can get past that scary dismount at the 2017 American Cup????
Rebecca haha I’m watching this video a year later and nbc is still showing that clip
Rebecca omg I know right they just reshowed the clip at the recent competition a year later🙄
Rebecca why did I laugh so hard at this 😂
*2021 Olympics
I know right 🙄 stop showing it and refrain from mentioning it every time Riley is on beam. Gosh
I love that Trinity Thomas's beam routine didn't have a wolf turn.
Jordan Chiles made the best save on beam I have ever seen. It was more impressive than Nastia Liukins beam save at 2006 visas 😍 a triple turn has insane difficulty lol
Gymnast Girl I think it was just a full turn + double turn, since her foot touched down, but that combo has 0.1 CV, so the same value as triple turn. :-)
What time?
Carl Wigelius 1:07:30
Alchamei no lol if you count carefully you'll see it was a wolf turn and then three spins after it in a standing position. I think a triple is called an okino or something and it's super hard. It was epic
Gymnast Girl Lol you don't get it, I thought at first it was wolf turn+full turn+double turn since I thought her feet thouched down after first full turn, but looking more closely she probably didn't touch, so it really was wolf turn+triple turn.
26:10 Loool, Nastia's shade to wolf turns. Though I agree with her, majority of them are a horror to watch.
as a dancer watching wolf turns make my entire body cringe
Yep lol
I’d love to see them go away.
gosh trinity thomas is such a gorgeous gymnast and a beautiful person she's so pretty 😍😍
Most unexpected moment of the evening: 1:07:31. Also, one of the greatest saves of all time. Can we just name Jordan the most epic improviser of turns in history?
mjamitche5 i think she should create a spin based on that
So weird with the camera not focused on Marta's reaction this year.
J Buda she has retired
Niamh Grisman that’s what they meant... lol.. Marta retired so the camera is focusing in on her this year like they do in the past.
J Buda
Doubtful that the cameras will be on the Karolyi's much in the future...What with the dozens of molested girls by the doc on their ranch...Be surprised if they aren't booed every time they show up at a competition now...
MrReed314 Agreed that they PERMITTED the girls to be molested?
@@sandranorman5469 Then why aren't the Karolyi's in prison also? Why was only Nassar used as the scapegoat?
I'm starting to feel like a lot of these routines are looking the same. Especially uneven bars.
Tiffany Brown jordan Chile’s and Trinity’s were the only ones that stood out to me.
Love it when the camera is in the end corners of the floor.
I feel Trinity is soooo overlooked. She could really be the one that comes out and surprises us all. I don't think anyone is a lock for World's yet other than Reagan as long as she doesn't kill herself in her floor routine. Riley shows really great promise, but a bit wobbly and inexperienced and pressure still kind of gets to her. I honestly think it's between her and Jordan (who clearly showed she can handle the pressure, mess up, and still come out on top). I like Riley's style better (more graceful and fluid). It would seem they are really considering Jade (that girl is a sure medal winner in both of her events if she can stick her landing on vault - which she got closer to this time). If Morgan had been consistent - she would have been in. I think that the other three places are really up to how they do at camp.
marhadeli totally agree about trinity being overlooked. She has stunning lines and technique, I can see great things in her future :)
marhadeli I think Trinity has been over looked. Mostly because of her consistency issues & recent injury. She has huge potential.
@@harrietaliceburke maderchod
Reading your comment now knowing how well she is doing in college gymnastics, you were so right about Trinity
Trinity's bar routine. WOW.
You guys are so good
If your wondering where it starts, 45:23
@@lizc.671 that's her beam right? Original comment was about her bars
Bar was about 29:20
Trinity is like already my fav
I've never seen Trinity before but she is one of the most gorgeous gymnast I've ever seen! Reminds me of young gabby, so happy to even be there!
She's lovely, isn't she?
tbh shoutout to gabby in the audience she looks hella good
She's slaying with those bangs!
Christy Ellis time stamp? I didn’t see her
@@auraelle2673 1:03:55
@@auraelle2673 very beginning on the far left :) i didn't recognize her at first either
Yep. She is slaying with the bangs :)
Glad to see Gabby with the other girls again!
Right!!
You Thought but she seemed sad , I am afraid she will be ending suffering from depression. On her adulthood
Luis Vizcaino Hope she won't! She is beautiful, an Olympic champion, she changed her family life becoming rich... She has got everything! Hope she will just enjoy all her life
You Thought. Ditto. Unfortunately, she didnt show up for the Final Five hall of fame induction ceremony. I haven't read anything about her absence; wouldve liked to have seen all 5 of them for that.
LOL, she's not sad, she thinks she's above the other girls. Check out the look on her face and how she's not even interacting with them. She's never gotten along with them. She's accused them all of being racist and always chose to not associate with them outside of the gym. She's a spoiled brat. Apparently she treated Simone like total shit. Not surprising considering how jealous she must be of Simone.
14:53 jordan chile's floor music (The bird and the worm - The Used) is such a welcoming change in terms of music genre! i loved it
jordan chiles save in beam has got to be my favorite
Hello from Italy! While I was eating some pasta I was comparing american gymnasts with pasta , conclusion? They are both great! I can' t live without them. Team USA, congrats on having the best gymnastics team in the world, if only italy's team was so strong
Carol Perotto this is the most positive thing I've ever read in my life. Carol, USA loves you and welcomes you
Ahhh…but we don’t have Vanessa Ferrari 🤩🇮🇹 👑
I'm obsessed with Ragan Smiths leotard it's by far my favorite of all time. Also, she was so impressive during this meet. So was Riley-she has gained so much confidence
anyone else a little upset we didn't get to see Sydney Johnson-Sharpf's second floor routine?
Lizzie S. Yes! All that hype from day 1 about how she's performing 2 different routines and then they don't even show her second one.
Dude, Trinity Thomas's dismount on uneven bars! Woohoo! Her feet and the mat were like magnets and her feet just stuck onto the mat!
cristi0771 yes! Was so excited to watch her this year! She became my new fave "up and comer" the very 1st time i saw her compete. Total package; in the old-school romanian /russian gymnasts kinda way. Lol.
cristi0771 hkk
I really, really hope the FIG devalues those wolf turns. All of them. Quickly. Stat.
They cant really.. I mean they are crazy difficult
Brainwave 76 they just increased the value this quad so that's why soo many girls are doing them
Aly is a queen. The end.
So much respect for this girl!
Agreed.
מעיין רביבו And so disappointing Nastia and Tim just avoiding the issue. "Things are being changed" yes stopping just shuffling molester coaches to new gyms instead of reporting allegations to police.
מעיין רביבו How can you praise Aly when she takes an average of two years off from competition, and dropped out of College
Michael Silverman Do you even know why people are praising her? She called out USA Gymnastics for the way they handled the whole sexual abuse scandal. That's why people respect her. Why the heck do you care if she misses college?
Taking time off competition allows the gymnasts to be people for a while, which is super important during careers that intense that can last eight years at the senior level. It also helps prevent them from getting injured and having to recover from that on top of staying in shape and learning new moves.
Also, dropping out of college has nothing to do with a person's worth or intellect.
In love with Ashton’s Leo, so beautiful. Love the color scheme and shine
Al said "riley smith" lol
Ragan McCusker
the man's a complete fool
Adam Travis ugh Al is always saying something dumb. This three commentators are so annoying
rigan mcsmith
Tim miss said her name night one Too LoL. These guys....
holy smokes! abi's handstands were incredible & so glad NBC showed Abby Paulson's beam. that was my favorite routine in entire competition!
Rewatching this comp and wondering if anyone else loves jade Carey's floor music as much as myself. Her routine is awesome, too. That music tho. Love it.
I do!
43:55 the best handstand I’ve ever seen
now i see how polished the final 5 were
Trinity Thomas had an awesome beam routine with no balance checks and sticks her landing. Trinity actually medalled on beam, and all Nastia can talk about is the sound of her punch off the beam? Be quiet Nastia. OMG these NBC commentators!
mjamitche5 I think she mean it didn't seem powerful enough to get the double back around...calm down
mjamitche5 yes!!!! so excited for her]!!!!! shes 1 of my faves!] love her!
Don't be so mean to nastia she's only explaining what she saw
mjamitche5 You're digging.
Nastia is calling what she sees as a a top notch beam worker. Tbh though, it feels to me like they aren't talking up Trinity Thomas because she isn't a "chosen one". It seems like they choose a tiny crop of girls to push while essentially ignoring the rest. I'd love to see more routines rather than hear a meaningless Simone Biles interview. But nope---- more of the same.
Someone stop the madness that is wolf turns..
MissLilRedRooster only 9p
Lol
i love how we are constantly seeing and hearing all the girls cheer for one another. so awesome! so important. hopefully they'll carry this into adulthood and continue to support other women in whatever careers they choose. bravo!
really, Al? shan-ya? unreal. love how we hear the announcer's pronunciation immediately afterwards.
I practically fangirled when The nightmare before xmas starting playing in Riley’s floor routine omg its the “This is Halloween” one 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Anyone else love the squeaking of the bars and the hollow wood sounds of the beam?...no, just me?

it's so fun to see today's big collegiate stars on the sidelines and result lists:))
I was there earlier today but I am rewatching because it was so amazing
Abi Walkers mount is gorgeous , and artistic . Love to see more mounts like these.
Amazing to see these ladies now in NCAA.
Trinity Thomas is going to be factor in the next 3 years. Mark my words.
And as of 2019 she's no where near the next factor
B Porter Right?? I mean, she had the potential but I just don't think her heart was in it. Maybe she'll be a factor in the NCAA.😂😂😂
I'm sorry, but If Ashton doesn't start training as an AA she won't make the team. This new crop of girls are much better on bars so they may not even need a specialist. One of the reasons I believe Madison always had the edge over her was the fact that she was in the top 5 AA during the last P&G championships. She even beat Gabby on night 1. There's no room for specialist this quad. These girls need to up their game and be great on all events.
Young Contrarian there's even more room for specialists this quad than ever before. The Olympic format has completely changed making spots specifically for specialists, for those who may not contribute in the team. Check out the format changes online, very interesting
Well, she really needs to improve her beam difficulty. If she had a higher beam difficulty than Madison last year, I think she would have made the Olympic team because I always liked her bars better. She's going to get lost in the crop of juniors becoming seniors next year if she doesn't up her difficulty on both events.
Young Contrarian Gabby had a crappy P&G championships and I thought only Biles, Raisman and Hernandez beat her on night 1? Who is Madison?
Hazel Amarie They meant day 1 of trials... Also, had Madison got her beam score of day 1, she would've had a 59.3 in the AA with a 5.0 SV vault compared to Gabby's 58.9 with her lowest score being a tenth higher then Maddie's lowest with a 1.3 SV difference.
Madison is an All Around gymnast and could have contributed on vault and floor as well as beam and bars. That's why they went with her and put Ashton as an alternate.
I love the Zmeskal/Smith duo! I'm so glad they're doing so well this year! ♥
Reagan's floor routines always make me smile! The choreography is unique and so fun to watch! She's such a gorgeous gymnast, I'm so glad she won! She's really improved
soo... American gymnasts have a required wolf turn on every apparatus or
Zylk yes! They have to do it at the start of vault and at least once on bars. I hate that freaking turn
It's such a ugly move
The coaches probably tell them that if you want to be as good as Simone, you have to do a freaking wolf turn LMAO.
Zylk I liked it when Simone first started doing it, but now that every single gymnast is doing it (and screwing it up) I can't stand it.
Zylk it's just a fad.
100% team Morgan
I *adore* Morgan Bird's choreography, especially because she danced so perfectly to it
Not sure what exactly it is about Jordan chiles. But I just love watching her. She's got power and grace all into one. Makes every skill seem so easy! I hope they keep her around. S
Watching this in Feb. 2020... & still loving it. Can’t wait until *2020 Olympics start*
Wait in to 2021😅
Yeah, this comment didn’t age well...
i love regan. i really wanted her to make it to the olympics last year. glad she did great!
Amazing! Can't wait for 2020!
it's been so dope to see the expansion of diversity in womens gymnastics over the past few years !!! hope it continues
Yes, it is nice to see the amount of diversity and I hope it continues. Gymnastics is such an expensive private club sport requiring at least one very dedicated parent plus an income earner. It's not like basketball or something where you can just stay after school at some neighborhood public school and get picked up later. So, gymnastics was relegated to the upper class as was golf and tennis, traditionally. However, I do want to point out that Dominique Dawes was an Olympian in 1992, 1996 and 2000 as was Amy Chow for 2 of those olympics. Dominique was rarely scored as well domestically as she was internationally in the old scoring system (I always felt the US was quite unfair in that regard), but I do believe the amount of diversity today and the difficulty plus execution scoring system has made things quite fair.
wow... she does it in glasses! cool
Love seeing the Final Five together again. ❤
Jordan Chiles floor!!! I don't care about the mistake....that was so fun to watch...maybe because I'm such a HUGE The Used fan...and SO nice to see a more hardcore sound!!!
Jade's monster FX 52:50. Highest FX score of the quad. Her second tumbling pass. 😍
yeah not sure anyone can replicate how she does her ginormous full twisting double layout. World Class
I just wanted to say thank you for creating this channel. I absolutely love gymnastics so please keep posting as much as you can!
Did anyone else love Margzettas routine??😍😍
OMG DID RILEY DO HER FLOOR EXERCISE TO THE THIS IS HALLOWEEN INSTRUMENTAL BECAUSE YES!!
I'd be happy if I never saw another wolf turn ever again.
For real dread...
Not as hate be self con chest I do 3 wolf turns on beam and actually wonderful it hard but still a nice skill it your opinion so
Imagine Samantha Peszek and Jordyn Wieber commenting this😍 it would be so much better
Riley and Morgan are my favorites. Their gymnastics is so graceful and I love watching them. All the girls are great but those two stick out for me and I'm always eager to see what they do on each event.
Edit: oh yeah, and let's not forget about Trinity. Her gymnastics is also something to watch.
So glad to see Jordan Chiles come back even stronger after her injuries and gym issues! Also love Marg Frazier, she has a lot of potential!
So happy to see elegance back to USA Gymnastics ! Although I don't see so much depth in the team right now, I love to see gymnasts like Morgan, Trinity or Riley being relevant. Hopefully one or two will be chosen for the upcoming Worlds!
A lot of future and current NCAA gymnasts! Sydney Johnson Scharp! Margzetta Frazier! Trinity Thomas! Hopefully me someday 😀❤️❤️❤️
Somehow, I like the girls who look like they are more than 'a gymnast.' Jordans excitement after her beam and her happiness when she realized she became second. Frazier, who is so mature. Love Morgan, who somehow just gives me the idea she is great as a person. Trinity Thomas to me looks humble, ready to work hard. Jade Carey looks a bit overwhelmed, like she never expected to be there and still feels like she is in the wrong spot, but than delivers some great gymnastics. Paula Olsen I like a lot as well. Somehow, Abi, Riley, Ragan and some more seem to be in a 'oh I am good-bubble.' Like they do not even realize there is a world outside gymnastics, just interacting with their coaches. Maybe that is just an outsiders look on things, but I sometimes wonder if they leave enough space for those young women to become a person as well...
Jordan Chiles is super cool. She's getting to go to a really good school now (she used to be homeschooled). She posted a video on twitter of her doing a handstand and walking on her hands across the cafeteria at school. Some of her friends asked her to do it because they know she's a gymnast (people at school love to see you do some gymnastics). She's also very involved in her church charity work. I think she struggled the first day because she was sick with a fever, but I was glad to see her come out on top. I totally get what you're saying about personalities which is why I think it was easy to love Simone and Gabby the years they won the Olympics. I'm excited to see what's to come from Trinity, Jade and Morgan as well. Honestly, personalities aside, I just like the gymnastics of these 4 better than the others you mentioned.
Jade Carey is just remarkable .. Power and then some . Her floor was insane night two. She competes something like it in worlds with clean landings like that she will have a medal on floor . If she can consistently land her vaults specifically the Amanar cleanly she could be vault champion . Nobody has her level of difficulty right now of the USA girls . Just saying brining her to worlds would be an Assest for the USA team Even if this worlds it is just individual events . She is too good not to go!!
What's even more remarkable is that she just recently learned these skills. Just at the end of last year she was only a Level 10 Gymnast! Just outstanding.
Michaela Spiro I love the fact that she was discovered by USA gymnastics at last year's JO nationals and was invited to a national training camp and has been w/ the elite seniors ever since! I'm seriously routing for her to make the world team because she has major potential to medal (and/or WIN) medals on vault and floor.
@ Brian , I know I think that's why out of all the girls I have seen of this championship why I like her the most is due to the simple fact she is pure natural talent . I love how her gymnastics skills speak for themselves . The fact she is even attempting an Amanar one of the hardest vaults in the women's field is incredible especially when you realize how new that skill is for her . i am excited to see how she will do at a international event because she has all the pieces to be really great in the sport even if just as a specialist on floor or vault .
She was amazing esp her floor
@ The Gutless Warrior Exactly ! I am just happy they found her , you can't ignore natural talent like she has .
They were all amazing! Big respect for this sport ❤ 💪
Predication for worlds:
Ragan (duh)
Riley (she was pretty consistent considering she just came back from injury and got third AA with only a FTY)
Jade (potential to medal or even get gold on floor and vault, just needs to work on consistency)
Trinity (cause I like her bars, beam, and floor and she has the potential to medal on floor or maybe even beam)
Jordan Chiles's floor music is from The Used! That's so cool!
eugenemetayhas I love her for it lol. Such talent and good taste in music haha
Trinity's stick was amazing.
Thank you for uploading so fast lately!!! very appreciated
Oh, and Locklear has really gorgeous lines. Her lines almost remind me of the elegant and legendary Mattie Larson.
you could almost tell margzetta was going to be amazing at ucla just with her floor routine
Morgan is amazing since she is the only gymnast who wears her glasses during her performances.
i love gymnastics so much my favorite routine is Trinitys
I love to watch the girl with the glasses! She has got so much expression in her movements.
I hope I don't sound like a hater because thats not what I'm trying to do, but was I the only one that was underwhelmed by the seniors at this competition? Maybe because it's the year after the olympics but i don't see anyone at the last squad's potential 😑
Vikki Ferrana nope and I'm a die hard American gymnastics fan
Some of the juniors will be graduating to seniors soon and they are much better. Also, hopefully Simone will be back.
if youre referring to scores, code of points changed so everyones scores dropped by at least half a point. So even last years seniors, like simone, aly, and laurie would be scoring in the 14s and low 15s. Also the year after the olympics usually doesnt have big difficulty yet, they have 3 years to build up the difficulty and dont wanna risk going to fast or they might injure themselves.
Vikki Ferrana not even ragan smith or Morgan Hurd
redfire696 It's just not the scores, I'm aware they are lower by 0.5, but I don't see the whole package in any gymnast here, I appreciate some details by some but not on all events. Morgan Hurd has the it factor, she comes the closest to it but she's so inconsistent and has not the highest difficulty. I'm not very impressed even by the winner Ragan Smith, she's quite solid and her BB is difficult, but she's not appealing to me.
I love Ragan and not to mention that leo😍 Her win was well deserved!
I LOVE TRINITY
I honesty love Tim commentating you can tell he loves this sport so much.
Can I just say that Ragan's Leotard was gorgeous
I was really hoping that Trinity Thomas would get at least a medal
I have always loved her front and forward flips...She is always so 'Stretched Out", and that is exactly what the judges are looking for...
Am I the only one who thinks Trinity has a great chance of being on the world's team?
Congratulations Ragan!!! You deserved that gold!
RAGAN is such a hard worker and she deserved this title! YOU GO QUEEN
Loved Sydney Johnson Scharpf's floor choreo - so dramatic and so expressive!
It's going to be interesting to see who makes the world team! I think it will be Smith, McCusker and Carey and then basically everyone could be on it. Chiles, Thomas, Frazier, Hurd.
Jordan Chiles' save on beam has me shook!
I feel kind of bad for Simone. She doesn't seem super passionate about attempting a comeback. I'm scared she's going to do it just because of all of the pressure being put on her to do so. If you think about it, there's no reason why she has to come back. She doesn't need redemption or anything-she already accomplished everything in the sport. I feel bad for high profile athletes in general. It's like ppl see them as "that gymnast" or whatever and it almost becomes the athletes identity. Like the athlete is scared to quit the sport because she thinks "well im a gymnast so if I'm no longer a gymnast than im nothing to these ppl" . I really hope she makes her decision based on her own head and heart and not based off of what everyone else wants. Her true fans will love her whether she's competing anymore or not
CrownJules oh for sure I completely agree. I think the same for the other girls. The reason Aly/Laurie/Gabby haven't said anything abt comebacks yet is because they aren't sure they want to but don't want to announce they're shutting the door just yet so they won't lose the endorsements.
I strongly believe Simone can make it back if she honestly wants to. The coaching for her is what I'm wondering about. It's stupid to move to Florida to train with Aimee when your parents own a gym right near your house but then again Aimee was the one who got her to Rio and knows how she works. I'm not sure if she'd get the same results with another coach, as good as she is. And Alys coach moved to do idk what her plan would be if she makes a comeback but I somehow don't rly think she will.
+Gymnast Girl it is kinda obvious, Simone has a natural talent for gymnastics. Aimee did so well for her but I think any coach that could have a rapport with Simone, would do well for Simone too.
Simone, Aly, Laurie and Gabby are all pros. You can't fault them for not wanting to easily say they will retire. I feel like some of you are condemning because they get these money from endorsements.
Gracie C. No one is condemning them it's perfectly understandable. It's just a fact that ppl are discussing that's all :)
Gymnast Girl Way to early to tell if she really wants it or not.
@@mocneeuq no one anywhere is condemning anyone. I can't even comprehend how a comment expressing sadness for over pressured athletes came across as a condemnation to you.
Seems like way too many people in these gymnastics comment sections are forever nit picking and being argumentative.... though i guess that's par for the course in a fandom full of little girls. Still though. Yikes.
I love that Gabby brought out women of Color! It's so good to see that .
Why does everything have to be about race? There have always been "gymnasts of color" or whatever stupid expression you feel the need to use. There are no women of color, there are just women. We are all some color. Stop polarizing.
Sasha Baby gymnastics has always been mostly white whether you believe it or not. When people see themselves projected at the highest levels, they are motivated to try it for themselves. I get that you dont "get it" but just imagine a gymnastics where there are no or very few (i.e. 1) white people for you to see. Im pretty sure having someone that looks like you would be motivating.
....Dominique Dawes, anyone??
I've always highly disliked Tim and Al Trautwig, and I think the more time Nastia spends in their company, the worse of a person she becomes. After asked their opinions on Aly Raisman's statement to USAG it basically boiled down to "Well I had a great career so... not my problem?" So disappointing to hear that from them. If you love the sport, don't shrug off atrocities that happen within it.
Anyone else notice how they all have the same braid
Amazing gymnasts
Omg we need to stop with the wolf turns
it seems Morgan Hurd is been under scored by some judges... That is unfair.
35:05 OMFG ALYONA DID TWO WOLF TURNS ON FLOOR. TWO. NO.
liceous & we thought two on Beam was bad 😭
Gymnast Harvey come on! It could be worse... Think about a double wolf turn yurchenko on vault! Ahahahahah
liceous have you ever done a wolf turn before?
Kiki Art 😂
i dislike wolf turns and the girl just cannot point her feet. She makes it even uglier.
No one is going to talk about the handstand at 45:56 🤩. Shame she retired from elite, Abi is a great talent. (I believe she was injured)
Talking about Nastia's dad
Tim: Why don't I get a dinner invite?
Nastia: Well, you have to be nice to him...
...Awkward!
When Tim was talking about Riley's vault and how she went from DTY to only a FTY he said "She's watering down" as she drank water!!!!!!!!XD
