Aliya Mustafina!! A mother of a 2 year old here.....and got her body and skills back that quickly after giving birth. Competing an Olympic championship routine extremely well that soon. Just surreal. One of the very best ever. Love Queen Aliya!!🇷🇺
Great to see Riley and Mustafina back but for God's sake, the teams should protest spotlights. That is just dangerous, for beam especially. And they're wondering why so many falls.
Yeah... Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that's just sports & ANY form of "entertainment," PERIOD- they're ALWAYS gonna do stuff so that it's just that much easier for "the fans to enjoy" at complete disregard for the competitors/athletes/performers own safety or benefit?! Luckily it DOES look like the majority of these athletes handled this funky lighting pretty well... But yeah, seriously, how could u even ATTEMPT to prepare for something like this?! I'm guessing you basically have to just wing it & hope for the best?! Eek! Good luck?! (Example- do you know how hard it is to train a HORSE to get used to suddenly competing in front of a huge crowd or inside a big, loud, echoing, enclosed stadium like this that they will probably compete in once you get to a high enough level?! You can train for 10+ years covering every single little tiny thing you can imagine being thrown your way in competion, but, man, it really is darn near IMPOSSIBLE to train for that type of thing! If you've been jumping in big, outdoor arenas in the daytime your whole career & suddenly you're having to jump 5+ ft high, 6+ ft wide fences in a dark, loud, creepy arena in a stadium like this with thousands- tens of thousands- of spectators?! Theres virtually nothing you can DO to prep yourself OR your horse for that kind of atmosphere! Your horse is either gonna take to it in stride- har har, pun unintentional- or it's gonna completely freak lol. And you'll do the same!) I DO imagine this made things that much more exciting for spectators at least?! I mean I HOPE it did SOMETHING beneficial for SOMEONE, anyways...
Carlie Cole - if you’d cut your comments by 75%, ppl might actually read them. Not trying to be mean, just explaining the honest truth about your comments. 🙂
Seeing all the comments about the bad lighting... I so agree. Very unfair and actually dangerous for gymnasts. It should be something that’s regulated.
Its britain, they can't afford the hydro bill! The cost of hydro in Britain is so high they refuse to use 1000 watt lights as they should! I bet they tried to get away with using 200watt bulbs and instead of one every square meter , they used one every five square meters, which would be like using a 20 watt outside your doorway at night without street lights...
I can't even watch Riley's beam routine after Tim said 'wammbley' after the triple wolf turn! I've been laughing for 5 mins, I swear! 🤣🤣🤣 Edit: I really like how the German performed to the music on floor. That was wonderful! 🙂 I also feel as if the FIG needs to make a rule about this lighting disaster. If they have a rule in place already, they need to be enforcing it! This was a scary meet to watch.
i really like this format of competition. only one person performs at a time which means that you get to see every routine, whereas in other competitions (like the olympics) different gymnasts perform at the same time which means you will always miss 3/4 routines (as there are 4 apparatus)
Can Tim not compare every gymnast with Simone? Like I know she's great but Simone doesn't even participate here. I'm pretty sure I just heard Simone rolling her eyes every time Tim compares her to everyone else.
Did you even watch the full broadcast? He never even mentioned Simone till the very end; and even be he did, all he was saying was Aliya competed at the previous World Cup with Simone. Also, for anyone who either forgot what happened at that event or didn't even know what happened at the event, he simply added that Simone had won that particular competition -- after all, it's obviously gonna be a big deal in America when an American wins something ....
What kind of coach berates an athlete for coming second to Mustafina? 99.999% of gymnasts can't beat Mustafina. Maggie Haney belongs in a mental institution.
@@ineedhoez Maggie Haney was suspended for eight years from the sport not just for her "thrashings", but for physical and emotional abuse of athletes. She is a monster. Gymnastics isn't brain surgery. People aren't going to die because Riley put her hands down on a vault landing. No one deserves the treatment she has handed out. www.eastbaytimes.com/2020/05/09/special-report-families-gymnasts-detail-coach-maggie-haneys-abuse-claims/
Watching this after her coaches suspension makes me feel bad for Riley. I think some other gymnasts said that Maggie was yelling/berating her after her fall on vault ☹️
I was actually there and saw everything in person the lighting was alot better the televised veiw dimmed the lights on the audience so it allows the home views to focus on the athletes rather than the audience if you watch the uk television version you can see the actual lighting
Omg so many falls!!!! I feel like it had something to do with the lighting and the fact that no other gymnasts is on an apparatus and it’s just all eyes on one gymnast. The nerves must’ve been so hard on them 😣
Steveneven You know if the point was to highlight one gymnast at a time, couldn’t they do this by having just one gymnasts perform? Usually many performances take place simultaneously, so change the venue to have one gymnast at a time. They have those large screens everywhere, so the lighting did not make sense.
Can Tim Daggett NOT compare every single one of these ladies to Simone Biles? Everyone knows that Simone is in a class by herself. That said, the women here are extremely talented, gifted athletes who have trained their entire lives and put in the same hard work, and made the same kinds of sacrifices to reach this level. All of these women are world class athletes. Why not show them the respect they have earned? Side note....wtf is up with this lighting? It feels like it could be really unsafe.
Jenna Leigh's Beauty Slam : Tim does not bother me, but I understand how he can be irritating to some. I think he remains because he has he offers a historical perspective as well as knowing the many gymnasts and their routines. I prefer the British commentators, but Tim has his place as well. If you think about it, he reflects exuberance Americans are often known for.
I don’t understand why they do the lighting like that. If the athletes can’t see well they could really get hurt. No wonder there was so many falls. You can’t really blame the gymnast if they are doing it blind
Darlene Sleeth : I don’t recall the lighting being this dark at the olympics, so I am confused. The lighting here is awful. The safety of the athletes should always be paramount to dramatizing the lighting. Besides, for me, at least, the lighting does not make the performance more exciting.
@@allisonbarryrosenlund5358 I'm not an expert.....but so often it seems routines are misjudged.I haven't heard......but I really really really hope she's competing in Tokyo 2020
Aliya looks just as light and airy as she has in the past. To get back into this shape as a world and Olympic champion is astounding. I have always had a dislike for Mustafina because of what I perceived was a permanent scowl on her face, but I must agree with you, she could do her routine with one leg and arm. Good for her, I wish her the best.
She might be doing what she did the last olympics by showing everyone a much weaker routine and only bringing out her difficult real routine during the olympics
Killlllls me whenever they're announcing moves saying how things "looks SO MUCH EASIER than it REALLY is." Nahhh, I SINCERELY doubt it?! Cuz that looked PLENTY friggin hard to ME!?
I still don't know how it's acceptable to show clips of Sam Mikulak instead of Thais Fidelis on beam. She won the bronze medal, by the way. Thankfully the Brazilian feed did show Fidelis.
Isn’t it a safety hazard to have numbers pinned to their back using safety pins that could affect a beam performance or floor performance when they roll on their back? Not to mention the harsh spotlights that could literally blind a girl midair trying to land a vault or dismount?
Eh, they use numbers like that pinned to the back in a LOT of dangerous sports... We Wear them at lower level/schooling shows when I compete my horses& jump- at bigger, higher levels, you wear a small # on your horses bridle and/or a fabric # pinny tied around your body on cross country- but those are just waaay more expensive to order for all of the competitors than the cheap paper numbers pinned on your back lol. Those safety pins you use with those are generally so small & also pretty DULL- I've known people who have taken nasty spills off their horses and they came off & got "poked" by them- but even if that little thing manages to somehow break your skin even & stabs you 1/2" deep- it's barely more "painful/harmful" than pricking yourself with a sewing needle or getting a sliver u pull right out lol. If you really have a bad enough fall where you land in a way that dislodges your # & pins- you're proooobably saying OUCH for MANY more reasons besides that pin poking you... Probably the LAST thing you even notice haha
Rachel Shamariah : Not as concerned about the safety pins, but that lighting is a safety issue in my mind. Not a gymnast, yet that seems like a logical conclusion given the precision and difficultly the ladies must display. Shame on whoever insisted on this type of lighting.
Downie mesmo com "erros", é uma excelente atleta, tem habilidades diferentes e por isso que ela teve dificuldade pra exercer sua série. Não é qualquer atleta q conhece fazer a série dela. Ela é uma das melhores nas barras na minha opinião. Merece todo o reconhecimento.
No. You can only earn a nominative spot through the apparatus world cups. A non-nominative spot can be earned by a federation through the all-around world cups, which is what the US is trying to do here--they've been sending their top AA gymnasts to each event, and so far they are leading. Last year, Leanne Wong won the American Cup (with Grace McCallum finishing 2nd), Simone won Stuttgart, Hurd won Tokyo, and McCusker finished 2nd here in Birmingham. This event was from March or April 2019, by the way.
@@heatherwicker9990 what will happen is that at the end of the series (sometime shortly before this summer), the non-nominative spot will be awarded to the US. This means they'll be able to send an additional individual gymnast; she won't be able to compete with the team but she can still contend for individual medals. A lot of people predict they'll send someone like Kara Eaker, who isn't that competitive at AA but can definitely win a beam medal.
@@heatherwicker9990 yep, tell that to the FIG president....at least they're going back to 5 gymnasts per team in 2024. The 4-member team is wildly unfair to the men, and shitty for any female specialist from a big country like the US, Russia, or China.
Completely horrible!!! It’s a joke!!! I can’t even watch it!!! Shame!!! They r gymnast, they suppose to be amazing. But their skills like they just learned yesterday.... I’m sure in Tokyo will be the the worst Olympic Games...
Ikr? There was another meet in semi recent memory....Montreal maybe? Where lighting was just atrocious. Athletes and coaches alike complained there, and I would imagine they complained here. There is zero excuse for this kind of lighting- especially at this, the international elite level!!
happy new Year!!!, I agree to not compare Simone Biles with the other gymnast. She's only the most decorated gymnast of all time period!!!.............
Where are all the big names though ? I love Mustafina don’t get me wrong, she is fantastic but I would’ve loved to see some other athletes in this comp.🤷♂️
Yes the lighting is bad, but what is up with the zooming in and out of the gymnasts' faces on the uneven bars? I want to see the routine, not the sweat on their upper lip. I need to take seasick pills to watch this show...
Does anybody know the blond judge on the left second at 3:14? I know that she was the judge at the women's balance beam final at Rio Olympic, and she made some funny expression when giving Sanne Weaver's score.
Me parece que la gimnasia retrocedió. O no sé si es por el cambio en el sistema de puntuación o qué. Pero siento que hasta hace unos años la dificultad era mucho mayor, y las gimnastas hacían piruetas y saltos más complejos. La verdad me gustaba más la gimnasia de antes.
Maybe we shouldn't make crass judgements on the bodies of these women. No one ever comments on men. She has a 2 year old and has gotten back her skills from winning Olympic medals. Maybe we should salute and respect her hard work and skills, and not worry about her body.
Diana Laura : I am not a Mustafina fan, yet I must defend her here. She looks the same as she did before the baby. I was surprised at how great she looks.
Diana Laura : No, perhaps you are thinking of someone else. Mustafina is looking fit, healthy, and exactly as she did pre-baby. Guess there must be one in every crowd.
OMG THATS THE JUDGE THAT WAS IN AWE FROM MCKAYLA MARONEYS STUCK VAULT IN 2012 TEAM FINALS
I saw that too!! Lol

That lighting is freaking me out and as for the beam routines I actually consider it to be dangerous !!!
The shadows would def throw me off! It is super dangerous and uncalled for. Spectators can enjoy gymnastics just the same with a fully lit arena.

This lighting sucks.
I literally can’t stand Tim Commentary, he needs to just retire or something. Stop torturing us
I Just want to mute the whole video as the commentator really bothers me!!
Mustafina looks a little overweight. Heavy.
Maybe we shouldn't make crass judgements on the bodies of these women. No one ever comments on men. She has a 2 year old and has gotten back her skills from winning Olympic medals. Maybe we should salute and respect her hard work and skills, and not worry about her body.
Diana Laura : I am not a Mustafina fan, yet I must defend her here. She looks the same as she did before the baby. I was surprised at how great she looks.
Diana Laura : No, perhaps you are thinking of someone else. Mustafina is looking fit, healthy, and exactly as she did pre-baby. Guess there must be one in every crowd.
I love mustafina but she is fat AF (for gymnastics). She definitely holds weight in her face. She is not in the same shape as 2016. She looks chunky.
@QPHashSS77 Oh, I wonder why I call you toxic. I just wonder... you’re fucking insane. Please leave the Internet.
