Nastia and Shawn were such stars that we forget how amazing Yang Yilin was during those games, such a classical looking gymnast, great knees, toe point, straight legs.
You'll enjoy this! czcams.com/video/SLXdnWocnfs/video.html
@Davy Lau So if Yang's beam were better she would have won silver.
Nastia 🌹🌹🌹
Olympic gblg
Yang Yilin was robbed by Shawn, whose vault should be downgraded to a DTY.
Nastia had the meet of her life just when it counted. Amazing.
Timing can make all the difference in sport! ⏱
@@Olympics It can! All of the women are taking names everyday; especially women's soccer!
From the perspective of being older now and seeing things that have come to light from 2019, I have to say that for the sake of Nastia’s emotional health and relationship with her father, Valeri “Gold is the only color that counts in medals” Liukin, it’s very fortunate for her she won the AA gold medal. There are many stories of how harsh he was when disappointed.
@@maureenkelly738 yeah I often watched and felt so had for Nastia, especially that being her dad. I'm sure her training was rough and he did alot of putting her down because hes her dad and could get away with being more harsh with her. I was so happy for her that she won this. I'm sure her dad would never have let her live it down if she didn't.
HB - I think so too. Too bad for Shawn, but Nastia NEEDED it more and Shawn had the emotional maturity to handle disappointments. All that being said, you can clearly see that Valeri truly loved his daughter. I don’t know as how he would have wanted her to surpass him in gold medals though. He did an emotional number on Katelyn Ohashi by body shaming her and probably gave the same treatment to all his athletes. Good thing Nastia has a naturally slim body type. Sometimes though she looked a bit too thin. Someone else pointed out that many of his athletes, except for Nastia developed serious injuries ie Katelyn and Rebecca Bross. Still, Nastia deserved her win. She did a tremendous meet.
I used to think that Shawn had been robbed, but I've come to appreciate Nastia's amazing elegance. I still feel so bad for Shawn after watching her CZcams videos about how upsetting it was to come second. She wore a huge grin on her face and supported Nastia through it all with such grace when she must've been hurting so much inside. Two legends indeed.
I was surprised Nastia edged out Shawn and by 0.6 which was unheard of at the time...but the right person won. She was the last of a dying breed.
@rusgymqueen lesenkia they werent overscored. They had a 2.5 composite requirement and a completely different CoP with much higher values and higher CV values and d scores. Also they were more lenient like allowing a step out of landings on the floor. That isnt allowed now without deduction.
@@aubreyolmstead5551 They were overscored in a sense for execution, but the idea of Shawn being robbed is absurd. Yang Yilin and Semenova were robbed by Shawn who had her 2.3 twist "Amanar" credited, instead of downgraded to a DTY. In fact, the B panel judges debated for a long time about awarding her the 2.5 and Nellie Kim gave it to Shawn. Even Tim Daggett mentioned how dangerous it was for Shawn if they downgraded her. Nastia was also given an unearned 0.1 CV bonus for her onodi+wolf jump that Nellie Kim also had to overrule the B panel judges, but that doesn't compare to Shawn's 0.7 unearned DV.
nated0gggg - but Shawn could handle winning a silver. Nastia would have had to forever live with her father’s disapproval and disappointment if she did not win a gold. There are stories about how he acted if a gymnast was expected to do well, yet did not. Having said that, Nastia had the performance of a lifetime and deserved the AA gold medal.
I know they work so long for this important day of their lifes you can't help but feel for them
For Nastia, I think it was strategy and good coaching. She could never catch up to Shawn in terms of difficulty and power due to Nastia’s height. So they attacked in terms of near flawless execution, and showcased her near perfect lines in every opportunity she can. It was power vs beauty. This may not be a question when it’s Simone vs the world but during this era, beauty won.
i wouldn’t say it was nastia’s “beauty.” i think “finesse” “form” or “technique” are better descriptors of her gymnastics
@@francish6695 those are indeed true. But we all know that gymnastic scoring can be partly subjective as well. Some may score a gymnast for being able to accentuate finesse and form with physical beauty aka beautiful lines.
What really did it for Nastia was having 0.550 A score advantage over Shawn. Shawn had 0.9 and a 0.1 difficulty score advantage for vault and beam but Nastia had a 1.550 difficulty score advantage thanks to bars. For the Floor, Shawn had some of the worlds most difficult tumbling but Nastia worked to close the gap with increasing her tumbling difficulty to where it was only 0.3 behind in A-score for four tumbling passes (Shawn had five), but made up for it in her dance elements. So minimizing their fight as beauty/grace vs. power isn’t that accurate. Shawn may have been a “power” gymnast but she had some of the best form on her elements. She had her issues hitting complete 180 degrees on her split leaps at times but Nastia actually had more deductible form issues than Shawn did. However, on this night, Nastia was totally on while Shawn’s Amanar wasn’t her best. Nastia ended up beating Shawn by her A-score advantage plus one-tenth extra…thanks to bars (they changed the bars rules after this Olympic which hurt Nastia and the Chinese’s extreme bar score advantage), working to close the difficulty gap, and having the best night of her life with her landings and minimizing deductions while Shawn had better nights before…except on floor. Shawn probably gave her best floor performance of her career the night of the all-around and she tied with Nastia there, despite being the power to Nastia’s “beauty”.
Nastia got a much higher bars score her best event. That was meant to gain points which made up for her weaker events.
True but let's not make it seem like Nastia was some sort of slouch compared to Shawn, and that her gymnastics was much easier. They were about the same on floor and beam and Shawn had an advantage on vault and Nastia on bars.
Everyone talks about how Shawn deserved the gold but Nastia edged her out of 0.6 point which is huge. Nobody talks about how lucky Shawn was to get the silver. Remember how Yang Yilin was only 0.075 behind Shawn.
That bronze is still legendary for me. Yang really peaked on that day and could have silver even
Yeah…Even Shawn knew she wasn’t robbed here.
I don't know who everyone is, buy Nastia clearly won that competition hands down! She is a true champion no doubt about it!

Shawn and Nastia will forever be the strongest duo in gymnastics history. Love them and what they represent.
Simone and Aly gave them a run for their money.
I personally just wish I had a mix of those girl's bodies.... Nastia's abs & upper body& long, lean look, mixed with, Shawn's adorable little booty & body shape... With Shawn's commanding presence when she marches up to start her routines with & Nastia's friggin Game Face. Hardcore lol. I just love how they were both so obviously completely different styles but we're neck & neck all the time
Prajakta P maybe. I feel like Simone and Aly had similar styles though. Shawn and Nastia to me had completely different styles
Mine would be Gabby Douglas vs Victoria Komova, and Aly Raisman vs Aliyah Mustafina. Simone really has no competition to compare her with closest would be Suni. I would’ve loved to see them in the AA together.
Ew no. Omelianchik and Shushunova, definitely.
Shawn mentioned that the man handing her the medal told her he was sorry. What a horrible thing to say to someone who won a silver medal at the Olympics. Its an amazing achievement.
Yeah I've heard that but Shawn also... plays a little fast and loose with the truth sometimes.
Thanks for this! Being 4’10” I was rooting for Shawn so hard and HATED this result. But over a decade later, I can appreciate Nastia for the her exquisite gymnastics. Admiration is more productive than jealousy. It can take a decade to learn that, but it inevitably leads to a much happier life! 🥰
I’m the opposite haha! I was more of a “nastia” and hated seeing Shawn win. Now I appreciate shawns gymnastics
So happy for you. It's a sign of maturity.
Shawn is so adorable and happy. I love her spirit!
Nastia deserved the spot. Everything she did was amzing.. i love her gymnastics
Ive never seen a more deserved all around gold medal winner than her unreal gymnast
Nastia put on a friggin CLINIC on almost every event- her bars were unbelievable, she stuck her vault as perfectly as she possibly COULD have, her beam was virtually flawless... And then Shawn was just solid as a rock in every event & so powerful- it really was sad when things fell apart for them at the end of the team final but these two put on some amazing routines when it mattered!!
Hello Carlie
Do you really love the game
Nastia truly had the meet of her LIFE. She was unstoppable and it's like as soon as she landed that vault she knew it. Great performance.
I know most seem to favor Shawn, and she is amazing. But I just love to watch Nastia for some reason.
I can't think of a better All Around Performance. This is a master class.
The beam rotation really defined the medalists perfectly. Shawn had 1 break, step on dismount. Yilin had a couple breaks, step on dismount. Nastia had no breaks, STUCK dismount.
Nastia always had epic moments on her gymnastic career.
Still my one of my favorite competitions after years.
I can never get tired of watching this. I’m so proud when Nastia wins
It would have been better if they showed the entire competition... I mean there were other amazing routines that were not shown
Johnson? Shown Johnson?
The audio is not in-sync with the video. :/
i know, it's so annoying!!
1. Would have absolutely LOVED to see the entire individual finale
And PLEASE take those annoying backgrounded speaking comentators away, the are so annoying as well
Man the comontators don't sound enthusiastic...
When I saw the thumbnail, I had my fingers crossed that it would be the BBC commentators bc it looked like BBC footage, but I was let down lol. I agree, very little excitement in their voices.
Like golf commentators. Which I kind of like!
Court Chan that’s because golf is boring
@@maia9056 LOl I agree with u
Better than overdramatized nbc
The most elegant execution by any gymnast in Olympic history.
That moment between Nastia and Shawn when Nastia comes off the podium after floor, is THE moment. Sums up these two to perfection. So glad at least one photographer caught it!

Loving the throwback
They all so good 😊
Nastia, Shawn and Yang made is such a special final! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇨🇳
The compression on Nastia's in-bars was fantastic
Shawn Johnson 's BB amazing
I. Wynn Wynn balance beam
I can't believe they don't show Anna Pavlova's floor routine. That was the best of the AA
A masterpiece!
Honestly I thought you guys were going to show the full thing.
bajeboi me too! I wish they did! We all know who ends up winning I was more interested in seeing the other competitors!
bajeboi Me too.
We all know the winners. We wanted to see all the contestants and the “battle”.
I don’t know, I liked that they cut it down to a more digestible format. I could be wrong, but isn’t the entire competition not available?(It is on the VCR I used to record it on back in the day! 😂)
Samantha Mathews No, it’s not on the channel - I searched for it, and couldn’t find it.
It was already 40 minutes long showing only the top 3.
Congratulations Nastia in winning first place gold medal.
Nastia, Shawn, and Yang... true champions!
Essa Chinesa foi maravilhosa. Não é fácil ganhar de Shawn e Nastia e ela sempre se mostrando muito segura e equilibrada. ♥️
Can we get the men's gymnastics for Nastia's dad? All arounds and apparatus?
That was Nastia's day!
Her golden moment! 🏅
You've always been my favorite Nastia! I cried right along with you! Amazing performance...
Still my favorite in 2021
Actually I'll be a huge dork and confess that I cried too. I'd never been SO invested in athlete before and seeing her win after her struggles over the previous few years was amazing.
*_2008 was a great year!_*
I give so much credit to Nastia's dad. It looked like when she was sitting there worrying about her score, he went into Dad mode and came to check on her. So sweet! I love it!
Can’t wait for it! And I hope to see more (eg. Gymnastics in the 1972 Games, 1976 Games and more from the past)
Yes!
thank you for including the medal ceremony!
Nastia was elegant and Shawn was a powerhouse. They were both so good. This was my favorite Olympics overall though ‘92 and ‘96 were my favorite Olympics for gymnastics.
Nastia! So amazing! What a beautiful girl, well deserving of the gold!
UGH...the audio isn't synced to the action. This happens a lot with your videos. Please fix
Then watch something else. This is free content; they're not here to cater to you. Lmao.
@@rebornsnuzzles2573 What kind of incongruous response is that? Just because ads/sponsors/marketing tactics are not being utilized by a network for financial gain, does not absolve them of the responsibility to release appropriately edited content. The audio is lagging so severely that the commentators discussion is an entire routine behind for the extent of the broadcast.
@@makenziecely You watch this content for free. Someone took the time out of their day to make this for you to watch. Be thankful instead of awful. Like we tell our kids, "You get what you get and you don't pitch a fit."

Full Artistic Gymnastics ? Only top 3... Please Olympic.. Post really full (ALL COMPETITION) WHO THINKS TOO COMMENT
Me
Yesss!
and it doesn't sync with what is shown. their voice over audio is ahead of the video.
yep
If this was the entire all around with all competitors it would be 2+ hours long. Just looking at the time of the video would tell you it’s a greatly condensed version.
What we need is 2016's Games Gymnastics all apparatus finals, team all around, and individual all around and NOT just medallists' routines (for apparatus finals) 😒
MultiChantal22 I totally concur.
We already know and saw the winners’ routines. We wanna see all the rest as well.
MultiChantal22 Yesss PLEASE!!!

@@Olympics why are some videos blocked in other countries? what makes us not allowed to view such videos? aliens?
@@Olympics We don't want Rio's full replay we want Beijing, Athens, and Sidney´s full replay, not just finalists, You uploaded Atlantas full competition good for you, what happened to the other ones? To upload the full competitions doesn't cost a thing
2 great gymnast...yet so different
The commentary was amazing. Really justifying why Nastia won the gold. She was just sticking landings and executing every skill with perfection. It’s nice to see nastia getting that all around gold she never had from worlds.
Why was the Liukin removed from the COP? It’s beautiful! I think it’s since been reinstated, since I’ve seen some younger gymnasts training it on beam.
Yang Yilin performance is excellent, also share the full videos of team final and floor final
it’s not the full competition with only the medalist’s routines :/ please show us everyone else too!!!
Well.. They are to stingy to do that. Claiming copyright on full video reuploaders is much better for Olympic Channel than letting fans happy to enjoy them

Hopefully we can have the same for Rhythmic Gymnastics. Please Olympics!
DONWEBA Not if they don’t show the full event.
@@LucienSabre no BH
I love Shawn's smile after her first tumbling pass. She still delivered an amazing routine with a smile!
she really did have the meet of her life.
I enjoy your commentary on this video so much. Even all these years later it’s nice to listen to well spoken comments of events and skills as they occur. Thanks.
Hello Liz
Nice to meet you here I really want to watch the game with you
it's kind of frustrating that the sound/commentators aren't synced with the video ahhhh

Tenía años buscando esto, gracias. Sería genial que pusieran la competición completa, y también en las finales por equipo y por aparatos
También las de Río 2016 :(
now lets have them show us the full team final 96
It's not the full final but this is a pretty good place to start 👍czcams.com/video/Gj2K7RfKObY/video.html
2012 women’s team final artistic gymnastics
14:57 my favorite routine of this video, I love watching balance beam.
Misleading title as this is NOT the full competition...... bummer. 🙁
Amazing Yang Yilin
I just totally erased my comment and im starting over. My top 3 favorite olympic moments are: Derek Redmond, The Miracle on Ice, and the 08 swimming relay when usa defeated france.
Mamun vs Kudraytseva 2016
I like the way the commentator explained those intricate movements.
Great !! This competition was very fair !! All 3 Gym were the best during Olimpic Games...and the judges were very clears and faris.
Really great performance, appreciated to all🙏
Wow, Nastias floor routine was unbelievable. Yang Yilin ist so underrated, she was also great on beam.
My favorite All around final
Qaszcvb
I really like these commentators.
ive watched this so many times but i still cry everytime nastias name is called
Omg same 🥺
Qaszd
Hello
They are really good 😊
I just noticed Shawn never even acknowledged her after the beam , usually gymnasts always do
From 10th place to gold
Finally! The good old days - artistry and beautiful gymnastics. Thank you :)
Almost 11 years ago... It feels like yesterday 🇨🇳
@@Olympics thank you for the upload! Hoping to be at the Olympics someday, my career as an athlete has ended, hopefully as an official or commentator 😇 hit me up if you want an additional badminton commentator 😉
I cried omg 😭
I would have liked seeing some of the OTHER contestants.
Nastia had the body to be a rythmique gymnast if her family had stayed in Russia and she would've trained in rythmique gymnastics like her mom she could've been like evgenia kanaeva
Dude, this was a slap in Russia's face. Soviet former gymnasts and their daughter won a medal for US, the biggest Soviet Union/ Russia adversary with routines that for me, couldn't be less American style
I wish I could have been a gymnast; lots of hugging!
The Tsubasa Chronicle Soundtrack in the background :D
Why can’t you do what you did for London and show the REAL full competition
The audio is off.
Stupenda!! bravissima!!
Shawn later revealed that the person giving her the medal hugged her and said, “I’m sorry”. Ugh. So disgusting.
Hey @Olympic, the audio is behind the video by about a minute
Why is the commentary like 15 seconds behind what's happening in the video?
Nastia was one of the last elegant gymnastics from USA
I feel bad for ferrari, all people expected too much from her, she was the current european champion, but she was injured and nobody knew that she finished in surgery just after the comeback in italy
Its said that "your competition makes you." It can bring out the best in your or the worst in you.
Please upload the games of Women's Volleyball of Beijing 2008 especially the games of CHN. Please, please, please!
Nastiaaaaaaaaaaa! ♥️❤️
Is it just me or is the audio not in sync with the video?
Спасибо!
Hello my dear friend
Ready to see Nastia and Shawn final competition round
Настя Люкин это соединение художественной и спортивной гимнастик в единое целое.
Великолепно!
I'm just going to say all these girls worked so hard and I know they cant all win but they are also under such tremendous pressure. Sometimes times a little thing that puts them 1 point behind . Their all great to watch
Please upload FULL Replay. Thank
I never realized shawn was so close to yangyilin in scores, man wouldnt it be awesome if yang got the silver 🤣
shawn was better and derserved silver.....yang had deductions on the balance beam but all 3 of them were very good
ALL PLAYERS PLAYED FANTASTIC AND BEAUTIFUL......
BUT WINER IS WINER..........
Would love a full video of this competition, not just the throw back
God keep happy you and your family
Wow very nice 💕👌
