Women's Balance Beam Final | Tokyo Replays
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 11. 2021
- GUAN Chenchen delivered as the final competitor of the women's artistic gymnastics competition at the Tokyo Olympic Games to win balance beam gold. She finished ahead of teammate TANG Xijing, while 2016 Olympic all-around champion Simone Biles matched her bronze medal from Rio 2016.
After a tense wait, Guan's score, a 14.633, flashed confirming the gold medal. Tang earned a 14.233, while Biles scored a 14.000 to win the bronze.
Guan's medal is the first gold an athlete from her country has won in women's gymnastics since DENG Linlin also claimed the balance beam title at London 2012. People's Republic of China gymnasts also finished 1-2 at those Games with SUI Lu taking silver nine years ago.
Biles had qualified to all four of the apparatus finals, scheduled for 1-3 August but eventually withdrew from all but balance beam. Her beam routine Tuesday was the same as she has used throughout the 2021 season, except for a modified dismount. Instead of Biles' usual full or double-twisting double back dismount, she opted for a double pike. _____________________________________________________

You know who deserves the gold medal? The female commentator! She knows the gymnasts’ routines so well, what they did during qualifications or previous competitions, she immediately picks up the connections that they missed. She always gives positive commentary and doesn’t magnify the mistakes. She’s the best! 👍
I prefer the British commentator over the US ones.
mindyschocolate that’s Liz from Australia, I love her ❤️
@@frannycutie9 what is her full name?
@@philipjh6789 Liz Chetkovich. She’s a highly respected sports manager & gymnastics commentator in her native Australia too.
She’s been doing commentary at the Olympics for many years and I don’t see her going anywhere she’s awesome.
Am I the only one who’s obsessed with Tang Xijing’s glitter, stature, smile, routine and pretty much everything? Can’t take my eyes off her! ❤️
You are not alone :)
Me tooo!
＋１
I think that she should have won a gold medal... according to my opinion she was the best in this competition...
Me2 she is a happy girl, very unlikely for Chinese gymnasts
I love it how Chinese gymnasts congratulate and hug other gymnasts. It looks like they really got a very healthy competitive spirit
I agree they girls were so cute when congratulating each other
Suni in the background cheering on and applauding for another country’s athlete is so good to see, back in the early 2000’s all the teams looked like they were complete enemies with other countries, glad that’s changed!
Yup. Suni, Simone and the coaches All cheering her on is amazing.
I agree
I think that really began with the Simone generation. Larissa Lordache, Simone, Ally, and Alya Mustafina, were always respectful, and very friendly to one another.
WOW. Tang Xijing's routine was absolutely flawless. Stunning how fluid her routine was, and how beautiful her splits were. It's interesting to see how each country puts emphasis on different aspects of performance, and it seems both China and Russia put a lot of work into grace and an effortless appearance, while the USA appears to put more emphasis on power behind their moves. As a former gymnast myself, I can't appreciate this enough.
Lol I love how you think you can get away with copying someone’s comment 😂
ellie black is in tears, not out of sadness but out of pride that she did her beam program excellently. I also think that her emotion is due to the fact that she is competing in her third olympic games, which is an extraordinary and almost unachievable achievement in this sport. I would have loved to see her win the bronze medal
Me too, as proud as I am for Simone, I wanted Ellie to medal, it would've been nice too have someone outside of the top 4 countries to get one
People kept saying ellie black was robbed, I for one thought so at first but now that I'm watching over the routine, ellie had so many balance checks. Even when she wasn't doing any skills but rather walking along the beam.
@@vadimkrasnorada1805 I don’t think Ellie was robbed, but I can’t help but feel sad for her for just missing out
@@mht4908 likewise
Almost unachievable? Yeah right, tell that to Oksana
Xijing every time the camera is pointed at her, smiling and waving lol. Love this girl.🥰
Yes. Love her personality! Love how she hugged and kissed guan!
Suni is so supportive! Look how she was so nervous for Guan Chenchen. Great sportsmanship
Mom
No moo
39:02 Simone rushing over to congratulate ChenChen with a smile on her face (there is a wonderful still photo on the internet) and the American contingent cheering her on during the entire routine is just wonderful to see
What a beam final. China showing their supremacy, Biles being Biles and absolutly deservingly winning a medal, everyone staying on, Suni rooting for them all, Flavia being a queen, Black being a bit of an underdog, making it close. Such a joy to watch!
The only thing I wish was that Ellie and Flavia weren’t injured. Tough to think they both were in pain and likely somewhat hampered by it. Hopefully both will continue to Paris 2024- I’d love to see both get a medal in something.
Ooh how I love it that at 38:45 Suni, Jeff Graba, Cecile Landi, and Simone were all super excited and cheering for Guan Chenchen even though she’s a competitor. That just shows great sportsmanship.
Loove how all the ladies at this year’s Olympics showed very positive attitude towards each other ❤️❤️❤️
that's the spirit of the Olympics, cheer for all of the girls!
Just before that, there's shots of Suni being visibly nervous about every move, and Simone and Cecil doing a bit of the choreo they liked. Love it!❤️
I mean they knew they weren't getting the gold medal lol so might as well support those who would get the gold medal ... I don't see Simone and her coach and other Americans when Sanne Wevers was performinng in 2016 lol
@@MultiChantal22 Marta was watching over them in 2016. Things were very different.
@@MultiChantal22oh shut it, no one wants to hear your useless drivel. You apparently didn’t pay an ounce of attention to the award ceremony where Simone was beaming at Sanne when she received her gold medal, and in the moments after the competition where she and Laurie congratulated her. It was on the BBC broadcast that I watched. Go spread your unwanted hatred elsewhere.
My favourite part of this is Chenchen having no idea what to do in the medal ceremony and Simone basically mothering her the whole time 🤣
She is the youngest, so.
Absolutely beautiful artistry by these athletes, and I love Guan Chenchen, she's so refreshing. A teenager talking to her friend and fellow gymnast not paying attention to the score, I thought was absolutely so sweet. So young and such a pro at the same time. I love that Simone Biles helped direct her during the picture-taking because there is so much to know about conducting yourself while not performing your routines and Simone was there to help. I look forward to watching Chenchen's Olympic career grow, and I hope we see more of her.
And her leotard is lit
Guan Chenchen proving you don't need wolf turns in 2021 🙌
No ring jumps either 🙌
wolf turns have got to be the ugliest skill ever.
She should be memorialized on currency.
I can't even walk on a flat surface without tripping over myself. These women have all my respect!!!!
I was thinking exactly the same thing 🤣
These commentators are the ONLY ones who fully explained who Simone is, what actually happened to her, (defining the twisties, and why she could not perform other routines) and what a champion she is regardless of the results in this competition. The male commentator even said, "all informed spectators", rightly pointing out that no one who knows anything about gymnastics faulted her for withdrawing from the team competition. NBC commentators, gymnasts themselves, were negligent at best. They could have explained so much better.
sad for urazova because she did such a good beam set in the all around. but i love the chinese 1-2 after the disappointment in bars and team finals
the time for urazova is still to come, she looked very nervous in the final. When she becomes more routine she will improve, even in the uneven bars. I love the US girls, but I think Urazova will come. I like her more than Listunova, Urazova has more elegance and definitely potential if she gets her nerves under control.

I just really loved this final. I loved Biles's comeback for beam bronze, and also just really loved everyone cheering on each other and the clips of Simone and Sunisa cheering so hard for Chengcheng. Just appreciated the sportsmanship of cheering hard for the person they know will most likely outscore everyone, to not only cheer on all gymnasts but to also make up for the lack of audience.
Tang Xijing's beam set tho 😍
DEAR Olympic Channel, PLEASE, WE Really want to watch the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Artistic Gymnastics Women's Full Events: Floor, Team, All Around Finals AND ALL subdivisions of the qualifications.
Yes. I really wish they'd the upload the qualifications from all of the recent games. I watched all the ones from London and they were great.
Yass! There are only crappy footage available of Beijing Olympics online, we want a high Res one. 2008 Was one of my all time favorites, neck to neck competition and solid original routines and no goddamn wolf turns.
@@deepeshmathuria I agree, while the code may have had a few flaws at the time, the gymnastics in 2008 was amazing competition. I feel like bars and beam in particular were just so much more exiting in Beijing than Rio or Tokyo.

@@ianj2760 That's because the format is copied from the UB video and I'm editing the times as I go along (hence the WIP) 💕
Thx！
Thank you!💖😃
Thank you so much! This is very considerate of you to post this. I really appreciate it. Have a great day. 😀
Is it just me or did gymnasts this year were cheering each other even more than they usually do?
Yes
@@Br-xw1rv Yes, it's just me? Or yes they are?
@Gazmeister Wongatron that's a good point. It also makes me wonder if they have always done it and we just couldn't hear it because of the crowd.
bc the world is sad
@@mmawithsubtitles7460 This is a recent thing. Higher Faster Stronger Together is the new Motto of the Olympics, which is very nice to see.
As expected, the Chinese athletes were fantastic on the balance beam. Guan Chenchen and Tang Xijing did really well. 💕
Also, it was wonderful to see Simone win another medal before leaving Tokyo. 💜
I love beam, love Chinese beam workers.
But I'm just so overjoyed to see Simone Biles back on beam doing such a dynamic routine!
Thanks to the commentators for your fair & sympathetic explanations of all the athletes' efforts, especially Simone Biles. She has received such a lot of utterly undeserved criticism for something she could not help--like a broken leg. Thanks for breaking the vibe.
I wished Larisa Iordache was in this final too...
Me too😞
The fact that she was injured and yet gave a fantastic routine while getting injured even worse on the dismount, and still made the finals shows how tough and amazing she is. So sad she couldn't perform in the finals, but I hope she'll be healthy and heal first
Only 8.2 execution for Tang Xijing?? She was perfect.
she honestly deserved the gold🤩
@@deletedacc510 frr
Congratulations 👏
🇨🇳🥇Guan Chen Chen
🇨🇳🥈Tang Xijing
🇺🇸🥉Simone Biles
Whoever the lady is who does the tv commentary is very good.
I never really thought about how Biles gets on the beam, but that thing is shoulder height on her, and she just effortlessly lifts herself up and over. I think of trying to do that, and I know I would look like a seal trying to get on a balance beam
I respect all these ladies because I know how difficult the balance beam can be.... Excellent and graceful performances and above all great sportsmanship... This is what the Olympic really stands for...
I’m obsessed with Flavia’s switch rings and her ring position, in general.
It’s perfect and exactly what a ring leap should look like.
Marvelous ! Thanks so much for posting the whole finals this time! Disappointed for Flavia's not medaling, but thats her second Olympic final in a row, amazing!
sad for Flávia Saraiva, but why insist on an element that she constantly misses? I've lost count of how many times she missed this
It’s the larisa iordache curse. They’ve missed the same skill everytime in beam finals🥲
30:18 she couldn't do the layout bc she was running out of beam, she could see that and had to stop herself before. That really rattled her. So sad because she is elegant and has beautiful lines, classical style. Well done, and she will come back stronger.
It's same London 2012, Deng linlin took gold , Sui lu took silver both of them are represent from China.
Cheng fei , Yang yilin, Sui lu, Deng linlin, Jiang Yuyuan, He Kexin, Li Shanshan, Sui Lu they always my favorite .
So glad to see Simone Biles compete and win a bronze medal! If you think about it, the beam is 10cm (5 inches) thick! So it must be so tricky to stay on. When I was 10, I used to do a gymnastics club on a Wednesday! I remember falling of the beam and banging my head on it. IT HURTS A LOT! So this girls are so amazing to do what they do on it! Great job all! 🥇🇨🇳 🥈🇨🇳 🥉🇺🇸 👏
The Chinese team performed very well.
These ladies are amazing. So many ups and down but the show goes on with a smile on the face. One day you are it and the next you are not. Even Suni who won all round gold struggled. Amazing women. So funny, i just watched this and i am aghast people were saying Biles got a "pity" medal. Small minded people.
In awe of all these amazing athletes. Balance Beam is so difficult! Love Olympic gymnastics…❤️ Awesome job Simone! USA loves you and the team!!🤗
Xijings did a beautiful execution on her routine, I think she deserved the gold medall. The winner made it great but the mistakes were more evidents on her routine and the japanesse girl was my favourite one, what a creative routine, very fancy jumps, really fluit, just one dismise on one balance movement. And one more think, I’m agree is a several pression on their minds, but the fellowship is so important and the girl in last place didn’t show anything of respect or gratitude on the support rivals.
Tang Xijin,Guan Chen Chen 💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Suni was awesome. So sad for the imbalance.
In this imbalance he loses the medal, the rest of the exercise was very complete. Suni was the best gymnast at Tokyo 2020. Her performances in the team and AA finals were amazing.
Tang is perfect!
Guan Chen Chen is so adorable.
I’ve been waiting for this one! Simone Biles you legend! 🇺🇸❤️
Simone would’ve been a legend if she could’ve kept it together for the Tokyo Olympics. She left her team high and dry. Gymnastics is as much of a mental sport as it is a physical one.
Oh I totally agree but what I meant by legend is what she has achieved so far in our life….
@@brandi5803 As sad as her mistake on vault was, it wasn’t her fault. You can’t control getting lost in the air, it just occurs and you have no control of it. It’s terrifying and dropping out was the right thing to do.
@@the21stCenturyofRG she is legend because she is American...
@@aprx195 That’s not the reason why she’s a legend? She is a legend because she’s incredibly outstanding in the sport! Personally way better than the others
Chenchen is So cuteeeee
Yeah
Mantendo o legado de Deng LinLin e Sui Lu.❤️
yess been waiting for this one ❤️🔥
I love the background music during the medal ceremony.
Go Guan Chen Chen!!!
love their sportmanship
As a Chinese, I’d like to say my favorite gymnast athlete is suni lee, she is adorable and applause for others.
Elizabeth black's routine seemed very impressive...she should have won a medal... hopefully we'll get to see her in Paris
Unfortunately, I doubt it. This is already her third Olympics and she's been plagued with injuries. I can't see her going for Paris.
@@amyparker9816 We’ll see
@@amyparker9816 she already back competing lol she totally is
Finally uploaded！
Love tang xi jin and guan chen chen. So adorable 🥰. Love u from Singapore
Haha 😂 40:33 TANG Xijing raise her eyebrows ❤️❤️
Guan is the pride of our Shishou city.
Tang Xijing beautiful performance.
Crying blood for Ellie Black 😭😭 I wish the judges could’ve had her tie for bronze with Simone just like when they couldn’t pick between Gelya and Mai for floor bronze
Same and maybe even Suni Simone and Ellie bronze?
Same
@@d00f60 no, suni encountered huge imbalances and mistakes which caused him to lose points. To say that he should have been awarded a bronze medal is an ignorance of gymnastics or a thoughtless idolatry (as is unfortunately often the case with American athletes)
ellie black went for a 6.4 routine but didn't get the bhs connection in the mount series and got credited 6.2. if you look closely, you can see her foot move after the switch 1/2. but mostly i think it was pauses and that wobble on nothing that cost her a potential tie :(
@@Br-xw1rv first of all why do you keep saying him, second of all Suni could have gotten the bronze if she hadn’t had taken so many little steps in the dismount. She was less than 2 tenths behind bronze
Todas hermosas, fuertes y perfeccionistas en sus rutinas, y la parte muy agradable que me gusta es que se apoyan, disfrutan y sufren durante las ejecuciones de las demás y cuando bajan y las demas saludan eso es algo encantador
Flavinha is so cute! Brazil is also proud of her!
Every nationality and ethnicity hugging and supporting each other. A beautiful thing to see.
Absolutely amazing 😀♥️😀
Linda! A nossa brasileira! 🇧🇷
The commentary here is special.
Молодцы девочки, так держать. 👍
tang is so cute
Flavinha gigante! mesmo lesionada, competiu na final.
Espero que agora em Paris ela leve pra casa a medalha dela❤
Balance beam flavia is so hard. love
Ellie Black should’ve gotten the bronze, so devastated for her. I want to see her get a medal in Paris but I doubt it 😔
Same with Marine Boyer :( Simone Biles stole their Bronze medals. I really wanted to see Simone falling the beam
@@samulara9235 Wow! Wishing Simone to fall, hate is real 🙄
@maryolum3567 some ppl only know victory if others fail.
I cannot watch this. I had a ticket for that specific event and it breaks my heart that I couldn’t attend 😭😭😭😭
Me encanta la gimnasia China y Rusa💗🦄
Tang xijing 💟
Can you please upload the rhythmic gymnastics
Individual qualification please ❤️
I love gymnast🤸♂️
They all did well
Is there a full nbc version video broadcast of this?
❤simon and tang
ASHIKAWAS SHEEP JUMP 😍😍
Chenchen did great
¡Excelent!
Wow can’t believe how short Simone’s routine was! About 1:10 instead of the usual 1:30 Imagine what her difficulty would have been if she used more time!
Boa as apresentação das atletas
Wow. Ellie was awesome.
Simon what a strong girl omg so much power
I just want Flavia to get rid of the round off layout because that skill has always been problematic for her. Stick to one acro series like the bhs layout, layout and substitute the round off layout to jumps combined with front arieal or bhs
Incredible
Flávia Saraiva 🇧🇷❤
The Chinese girls are brilliant and adorable!!!
I miss the days of elegant beam routines it is all power and connections nowadays. I feel like the Chinese and Russians still have this amazing fluidity in their routines so it's nice to still see.
El más hermoso de todo de los deportes
Name of song in the background during the routines??
FINALLY. YES
FLAVIAAA 😍😍😍😍
Queria tanto saber quem era q tava torcendo por ela
@@mmawithsubtitles7460 onde??
@@richardsongomes6719 quando ela estava se apresentando. Dava para escutar duas mulheres torcendo para ela em inglês
@@mmawithsubtitles7460 não consegui perceber kkkkk
Chinaaaa loveeee
I went to one of these events and was really shocked at how tiny the Asian women are. They are the size of US 8 years olds. How those tiny little bodies find so much strength and power is beyond amazing.
Ashikawa is so underrated, the way she worked the beam reminded me of how the chinese worked the beam pre 2012
A Suni Lee tava quase infartando durante a apresentação da Guan ChenChen 😅
Alguien me explica, por que no gano la Black¿?
