Good for Beth Tweddle. She helped revolutionize modern bars composition.
I have to agree with you. She probably "made" the current cop to only grant 0.2CV for combo between two flight elements rather than just E+D. Mustafina basically made transitions between the bars famous.
Beth Tweddle and Aliya Mustafina really revolutionized the uneven bars. When you look at the uneven bar routines from the past ~10 years, the top bar workers are either performing a series of huge releases (popularized by Beth) or a combination of transitions and pirouettes (popularized by Aliya). There's an interview with Simone from 2014 or so where she said she liked to watch Aliya on bars, to try to emulate her rhythm.
He Kexin was quite influential, too, with her huge release moves and pirouette combinations.
@@unknownuser_99 He Kexin UB work is out of this world, but she really didn't influence UB workers. Her combinations and skills aren't used at all. No one does a Li Ya ( jaeger 1/2) or a LO Jaeger, no one connects Pak from a jaeger, no one except Varinska is doing an inbars jaeger ( and Varinska does it out of a Tkachev 1/2, not jaeger 1/2). The one-arm pirouette+ one-arm pirouette + Jaeger is a combo done by Chinese gymnasts way before He Kexin.
@@unknownuser_99 I loved He Kexin's 2012 routine, but since then I've never really seen similar ones. You have a lot of people doing the Tkatchev 1/2 + Ezhova + Shaposh 1/2 combination that Tweddle pioneered, and now the entire Russian team (plus a bunch of others) is essentially performing the combination of inbars, pirouettes, and transitions, all in connection, that Aliya originated, but Kexin's specialty was forward releases, and aside from standalone straddle/piked Jaegers, those really didn't catch on. Her pirouette sequence has long been a mainstay of Chinese UB constructions, even before 2008.
@QPHashSS77 uh, they're not personal friends because Aliya doesn't speak English, but she said in a recent interview that Simone and Aly Raisman were her favorite international competitors. Stop trying to manufacture drama.
QPHashSS77 because they literally don’t know each other... doesn’t mean they hate each other like you like to believe.
he kexin is my fave bare worker of all time, Her bar routine is HUGE. it is very before her time. The routine has EVERYTHING. it has incredible chinese turns. massive releases and in combination. the only thing that could be better is her transitions but my god, its captivating.. other favourites: yang yilin... her elegance... those turns... i literally have never seen someone do those Chinese pirouettes on top of the bar like she does....also have to mention komova... shes also top tier, her lines are unparalleled but sad that she is inconsistent. her inbars are massive and so deep and smooth (compare them to kocians, the difference is huge)
Viktoria. Those lines! What a delight to watch again, and again, and again.
I just wish we could have seen her in Rio- she could have absolutely nailed gold on bars and finally gotten her desired Olympic title. She was poetry on bars.
while beth tweedle doesnt have the lines and elegance that i so adore, you cannot deny her impact on bars. she revolutionized releases in combination. shes powerful and her routines were so difficult and creative. her routine is jam-packed. it has interesting pirouettes, huge releases in combination and amazing transitions. truely a GOAT
I was gonna riot when you showed a (relatively) simpler routine from Tweddle. 😂
I still like the one she competed in 2012 London Olympics. Did she not compete this in worlds as well?
This was fun to watch, thank you!
Vika is one of my favourites ever.
Her posture and elegance was to die for.
We all know that that gold in 2015 Worlds is hers alone.
I love how anytime it’s Komova, she was the only one deserving. The only one of that group I questioned was Kocian because of the missed connection. The other two were equally deserving.
Beth Tweddle is awesome!
i miss semenova, her routine was so much fun
Britush Artistic Gymnast, Becky Downie getting her silver medal in Women's Uneven Bars Final in Stuttgart, Germany 2019 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships!
Didn’t her sister also get a medal that very same day in vault? I seen to recall them both getting one almost simultaneously.
@@saragrant9749 Oh yeah! Becky's sister, Ellie Downie getting her bronze medal 🥉 in Women's Vault Final in Stuttgart 2019 FIG World Artistic Gymnastics Championships from Great Britain 🇬🇧.
mustafina is so good at bars because she is so clean. her handstands are on point. her execution is incredible time and time again
The knee injury in 2011 really allowed her to focus on bars during her rehab, you could see it. They were really good before but just got masterful after.
I love that Simone made the list
Which she shouldn’t
@@austinxa2339 why not? It may not be her specialty, but she's actually good on bars for it to not be her best event.
I‘m in awe for Semenovas turns! Wow they are so quick
It is surprising that Mustafina has never been a world champion on bars. I think they should’ve showed Nina Derwael and her performance on bars in 2018
i think its bc she saves her best for the olympics
She had a stumble on dismount in 2010 that cost her I believe 0.6 in execution- which I believe would have given it to her. She was injured in 2011, didn’t have full difficulty in 2013, 2014 I think was another dismount stumble, missed 2015 and by 2018 just couldn’t compete anymore. It’s crazy to think she could have had two titles!
I think that the main reason behind Tweddle topping this list is that she just threw so many skills. There were other UB workers in this video who had an element or combination or particular quality to their routine that might have been superior to hers in some way, but about 2/3 of the way through her routine, you think she's more than done, but no she just keeps coming through with more skills. It was like an onslaught, overall. Even after watching all the other amazing routines, you are still impressed with hers at the end because she just did so much.
Exactly. Her bar routine came at you fast, furious and insanely intricate. It was so entertaining to watch.
Aliya, Vika and He Kexin are my fave on bar!
Damn. Tweedle is AMAZING !
Love the compilation! One oversight, Hollie Vise should also be tied for 18th in the list because she tied for 1st Place in 2003.
Oh, you are right! I think I accidentally gave her 8 points
There was a lot of little mistakes in the beam list, I had to check everything again.
You read my mind lol
Big skills Nabieva, Derwael-Fenton, Bhardwaj, toe on Van Leeuwen, stoop into full twisting double tuck
huang quishuangs endo spins combos are incredible
soorry i cant stop commenting, bars is my favourite event. yao jinnan is the queen of double lay out dismount.
huang huidan does pirouettes quite uniquely. additionally a very clean and modern routine that i think shaped fan yilins super efficient routine that lacks a lot of inbuilt deductions.
ive never seen ezhova do her own skill and she does it so much more beautiful that others
Pang Panpan had a very nice Ezhova too. No one really does a true Ezhova nowadays, it's a piked-straddled version and it's so ugly... The original Ezhova is so pretty...
porgras.. elegant as ever. khorkina; modern and before her time.
Never on my life did I think that simone would be here
im not a fan of USA gymnastics, but Rebecca Bross work on bars its so unique e precise. The way she makes her turns are one of a kind.
spiridonova is underrated
simone biles is an uneven bars specalist omg
Hey..are u planning on making a similar video of the BEAM WINNERS...would really love that😅. I was searching for that a month ago, now i have found the series that i was just looking for!!
Yes. Beam, Floor and AA
Also for 1981-1999 and 1950-1979
@@gymnasticfan9148 yeyy....thank you😄
wow He Kexin the queen of bars with a huge difference, she was amazing, no match yet in my opinion
Beth was a revolutionary bar worker and has had a huge impact on Britain's success
I would like to see a video like this with world and olympic placements together
Using the same system of points? Or just medals?
@@gymnasticfan9148 the same system of points, there are enought videos with medals
Yes! That would really show who the best of the past two decades have been.
9:13 Simone Biles went from a red leotard to a blue one and then back to red.
13:39 Nastia Liukin went from a black leotard to red repeatedly throughout her routine
14:37 Nina Deweal went from black and white to red then back to original.
With all of them, same commentary as if it were all one routine. I dunno. These gymnasts that can pull of a full change of outfit between one bar and the next. That's legendary.
Didn’t Chellsie Memmel and Hollie Vise tie for gold in 2003? I don’t think I saw Vise here…
Beth Tweedle was awesome....
Komova ❤
I remember Beth once had 7.1 - 7.2 D-score
Korkhina😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
how kocian got that four way tie gold is literally beyond my entire imagination
True. The gold was Viktoria's alone, with Fan Yilin's silver. Daria and Kocian should've tied for bronze
@@fortheloveofcats2462 daria is okay, kochian shouldn’t have made the list
thats alright guys. none of the girls you mentioned here bested kocian in the next year (which was the olympics) after that 4 way tie.
@@corrinlex1359 I thought the exact same thing. Who got the Olympic silver medal? That’s right, she did. She ended up in that four way tie, whether it’s agreeable to the armchair judges or not. Their mouth trumps weren’t sitting in those judge chairs, so their opinions don’t matter diddly.
And for floor?
Bails, rays, overshoots and shoots look so old fashioned as transitions these days. People say the pak / shap combo is overused but what else can they do which looks good? Full twisting pak always looksto me up messy and you can't do much but a kip out of it. ezhova only really works and looks good with a shap connection. When they grade the seitz (full twisting Maloney) as an only and E, it doesn't really encourage gymnasts to be adventurous does it? That's the problem.
I love Beth, however, Svetlana Khorkina is 2 time Olympic champion on bars 96/2000, and 5 times world champion on bars, 95, 96, 97, 99, 01..... She's the Simone biles of bars.
No, she's the Svetlana Khorkina of bars.
@@midnightdreamr 😁 Yes!
@@mmoran3 If you watch Khorkina's 2000 routine and Tweddle's 2012 routine, you'll see that Tweddle basically used Khorkina's as template and upgraded it, most notably adding the HB-LB-HB transition combo. Tweddle was truly the pioneer of modern bars with her daring releases, but Khorkina laid the foundation.
It's from 2001 to 2019 (as it says in the title).
The Russians have such elegance and clean lines. Something missing from current gymnastics
Oops! You forgot Mayu Kuroda from Japan, she came 4th in 2005, and 2006! @GymnasticsFan
🤦🏻♂️
I didnt know double bars Olympic champ Mustafina never won this event at worlds.
I'm sad for both, Aliya who never won a gold at world and Beth who didn't get an Olympic gold, even though it would have been at the expense of the other
She saved for the best and delivered when nobody expected
Her two closest opportunities were thwarted by dismount stumbles unfortunately. Those two Olympic golds were epic though.
Um svetlana khorkina has won way more then once
True, but those wins were before 2001 and not counted here.
Am i wrong or did Madison also get sliver for UB at Rio why is this not in there....
These medals are from Worlds
GymnasticFan LOL I MISSED THE TITLE
me being shocked not to see nastia n the list
The color changing Leo's really threw me off. I was so lost
Really disappointed with the quality of the video for chellsie memmel's routine
It was the best one
khorkina, nadie a su altura.
the fact that derwael has more than mustafina is just…
in the 60's, our high school uneven bars were hand crafted by ringo starr.. jus sayin.
The gymnasts keep changing outfits during the routine, very off putting. Show one full routine, not a compilation.
I can't. I had to re-edit this video 3 times due to copyright
@@gymnasticfan9148 Thanks for the update, love your other stuff
This video would have been much more enjoyable if they didn't keep cutting between performances. It would be better if they just played the performance without cutting back and forth
I can't, the video would be copyrighted
Question: Didn't Gabby Douglas have two gold medals on uneven bars at international meets giving her 20 points?
She's never medalled at worlds on bars
@@jayjaxon4272 Thank you for the answer. I asked because gymnasts can now qualify for worlds through participation and qualification through FIG approved meets, which are not considered worlds, but still a qualifier! Therefore, a gymnasts can win at a big meet which has an equal importance to worlds such as the Commonwealth Games! Or am I wrong?
@@fredrika27 I think you're talking about Olympic qualification rules being changed not Worlds. These smaller meets(world cups) do not have the same importance as worlds as they are very limited in terms of number of athletes a country can send and there's no team competition. But points gained there can qualify an individual athlete to the Olympics who otherwise would not have made it on their country's team or their country didnt have a team to send. Athletes can also qualify to Olympics through continental championships like Euros and Pan Ams but not Commonwealth.
@@jayjaxon4272 Thank you for the explanation. Why aren't the Commonwealth Games counted? I ask because the gymnasts along with other athletes from Jamaica, South Africa and India have all participated at the Commonwealth Games and qualified for the Olympics or bigger meets. Winning a medal there is always mentioned as a stepping stone when the gymnasts are introduced! Until recently, there is also the issue of no world event meet being held in other parts of the world like Africa, the Middle East, Central and South America, the Caribeans and the Pacific Islands countries. I don't have a list of all the "secondary meets" in my head, but I do know there are a half dozen or so qualifiers which can get gymnasts a wildcard entry to Worlds or Olympic events or am I wrong (I can and do admit when I am wrong)? Worlds are important for the traditional countries from North America, Europe, and Asia especially Japan, China and the more recent India. However, countries like Jamaica, Israel, South Africa and even Cuba have relied on lesser meets to qualify. Meanwhile countries like the US, Russia, China and Ukraine have so much talent they can afford to compete at most meets in the world while qualifying more gymnasts! Or am I wrong? I think World's are important, but they have also been somewhat biased against teams and gymnasts who don't belong to the powerhouses. Personally, I view "lesser" meets equally as important because they introduce new talent whereas unless gymnasts have an off day, the World's are rather predictable! Personally, I think there needs to be a redistribution/rescheduling/new assignment of qualifying meets so all countries have a more equal opportunity of qualifying. This should be done because hosting large events are very costly and can drain a country's resources! Finally, I always thought the goal of most meets was a chance to perform/qualify for the Olympics every four years! World's are important, but if a team or single gymnasts can get there using other means, good for them! Therefore, World's importance has lost a bit of prestige and the words "FIG" approved event or qualifier becomes more important!
@@fredrika27 There aren't any real qualifiers for Worlds. Anyone can go and compete. Believe it or not athletes like Danusia have qualified to Olympics at Worlds. Danusia's performance at last year's World Championships is what qualified her to Olympics not the smaller meets. Even Cuban and Israeli gymnasts have qualified to the Olympics from last year's World Championships. Athletes from countries like India and so on, they can qualify at their continental championships like the Asian Games and African Games but the quota for those is only 2 athletes and only 1 for Oceania. Most gymnasts qualify to Olympics through the World Championships and I think Worlds is more important than the World Cup series as its more inclusive. Also for the All Around World cups (like American Cup) gymnasts have to be invited based on their performance at the previous World Championships or Olympics. For the individual apparatus challenge anyone can go. What makes Worlds so predictable is the same reason that makes the Olympics so predictable, the top most talented athletes from wellfunded countries are there so of course they're going to win most of the medals. There is bias at times but its not exclusive to Worlds.
I get the criteria for the ranking but Seitz in front of Yao, He, Khorkina, and Kocian is laughable.
Beth could have been competing until now.. but because of that stupid accident, she had to quit.
Accident?
Shouldn’t Khorkina have 58 points? I love Tweddle winning, but 5 world titles and a silver!
It's from 2001 to 2019
GymnasticFan I didn’t see or read that bit, clearly!
I’ll never understand how Madison got first in 2015 🤢🤢
Because that’s how the scores worked out. Funny how the girls who everyone say should have placed ahead of her got nothing a year later at the Olympics… and she got SILVER.
No disrespect to Madison Kocian but I was never a huge fan of her gymnastics. There’s nothing that really stands out about it. But I guess that’s what’s interesting about gymnastics.. that’s it’s totally subjective. Everyone is going to see a gymnast differently.
I was absolutely not a fan of Khorkina, but couldn’t deny her accomplishments.
Since when has Simone Biles,the greatest all round gymnast of all time, been a bars specialist. Look at her scores going back over 8 years as a senior, bars are by fan the weakest of the 4 apparatus for her!
That should help you understand how incredibly good she is. Her weakest event and she still finished well enough to make this list.
Simone Biles bars specialist? In what universe ?
This one
Madison is 🤢🤢🤢
An Olympic silver medalist on bars and a member of the gold medal winning team. Have you come close to accomplishing this level of achievement? Doubtful.
I'm sorry but Simone's routine is so boring. All her difficulty based on strength, no actual real style or grace. Not a fan of Simone on bars at all. If I'm honest I'll be glad when she retires. It's boring because on all the other events we know who's going to win.
She has every right to win if she is the best
If you find it boring, don’t watch. Simone has every right to be in competition the same as any other dominant athlete does. It’s great to know your opinion matters Jack nothing to her.
