I love the bbc commentators. They are knowledgeable and so positive with their comments. Sometimes it’s a little funny when a gymnast makes a big error and they still manage to say something nice or at least phrase the criticism in a positive way. Such a nice change from Tim Daggett gasping at every error like its the end of the world.
I agree! Unlike the US commentators, who focus mostly on their athletes and athletes from the "Big Four," these commentators show everyone possible, no matter what country they're from.
Shang Chunsong comes from an extremely poor, rural background. She has supported her family with her national team stipend since the age of 10. Her brother was taken out of education in order for her to continue in gymnastics. The area and background she comes from means her diet would have been utterly lacking. She is quite obviously malnourished in youth, her head is out of proportion. Aside from the fact that Asians tend to look younger than they are, she also has early dietary deficiency working against her. That does NOT mean she is underage.
I sometimes feel sorry for her... I wonder whether she will be able to retire when she wants to, or if she will have to continue to support her family.
There’s also the fact that she looked essentially the same age her whole career. If she WAS underaged around 12-14 like they say she was don’t they supposed she should be changing pretty drastically considering she would have been 15-17 at the olympics? It’s ridiculous the lengths people go to.
Its amazing that after this all around gold, Simone would go on to win 13 more World medals over the course of 3 years. Simone is amazing and I can't wait for her to succeed in Rio De Janeiro 2016.
Well she's got 30 World championship medals plus 7 olympic medals, safe to say, unless someone miraculous comes along she'll forever be enshrined as the most dominant and greatest gymnast ever male or female period!
Victoria Moors should've been shown on floor ahead of others with the moors first being done successfully in comp (double twisting double layout) it wasn't even shown as a performance in between rotations. Instead we saw Tunney and Harrold. Not that we shouldn't have but Moors routine it was an historic moment. I don't get why not every programming didn't shoe her routine at least that double double straight. First time in competition.
Kudos to Simone Biles!! Not my kind of gymnast but I can appreciate her hard work. Edit: Can't believe what a difference 7 years makes! I couldn't be more of fan of Simone Biles!
It's a shame Mustafina fell on floor in qualifying - had she performed like she did here, she would have qualified to the finals and could have potentially gotten silver or bronze in EF. Oh well - good performance from her here either way! :)
Can we just pay respect to Shang's floor routine? What happened to her presentation over the years? This was a delightful routine and had nice tumbling passes. She looks so much happy here than she did in Rio.
Chinese federation isn't known to pace their gymnasts well and no wonder she wasn't paced well and overworked. Same reason why Yao Jinnah flopped in London after such a stellar 2011 season.
Anna Pavfan The comparison is power. Shawn and Simone both benefit from huge power. Simone has so many qualities we saw in Shawn. It’s not disrespectful to say that Simone, an absolutely great gymnast, brings echoes of Shawn, another absolutely great gymnast, to the floor. It’s just as how Gabby reminds me of Nastia. They’re all unique and individual, but Simone does conjure memories of Shawn, especially on beam.
If Kyla can up her difficulty (if sh does it will be precise and perfect like all her gymnastics) she will move out of silver and be a gold contender!!! She is amazing...ahe just hesitates a little too much and lacks the extreme difficulty. She went to London because of her consistency. BUT SHE DESERVES GOLD
I think that the reason why she hasn't upgraded her routines is so she won't burn out before Rio.. I'm sure she will upgrade them closer to the olympics in order for her to be a contender because I know for sure she can upgrade them and still be as consistent as she is now. That's what I think though :)
Jessica I agree! After watching the secret classic she's added a little but still holding back. Hopefully she will be healthy and ready for Rio. She's worked so hard since London. Now we are nearing the end of '14 most of the Fierce Five is back in the gym. I pray kula proves that hard work pays off!! I know many have made comebacks in both consecutive and skipped Olympics... But I so want to see kyla nail this and being home gold for herself.
I honestly think that if Simone stays consistent and doesn't get any major injuries, she can definitely make the Olympic team. Kyla's also VERY consistent as well. She does amazingly well under pressure.
Did anyone else notice the floor music at 15:32?? It sounds like a remixo pf nuvole bianche by ludovico einaudi! I love that song! If anyone could tell me what gymnast used the music i would really appreciate it!
@@chrissyjoy08 Mitch Fenner started to say it was Gaelle Mys but corrected himself because the graphic said otherwise. They both figured out the mistake soon enough. Gaelle is one of my favorite gymnasts so I'm glad they knew who she was!
I do think that Komova should have been in this competition, but I really enjoyed watching Mustafina and Ross. Their elegance and beauty is just amazing. I congradulate Biles for her difficulty scores and power, but I can't help but favor the runner-ups. At least U.S. brought it home for the win!
Hi guys, i have some questions hope a gymnast expert can solve me them :D When ending an uneven bar routine, before the dismount, the gymnasts almost always do 3 rounds before, do you get any bonus if you do less than those 3? I am pretty sure that amanars get deducted much less than DTYs, even with a lot of steps etc amanar always are in the 15s+ (1.3 deduction) and the DTYs even with sticks are always in the 14.8s-15.s (1.0 deduction) even if its clean, thats what i believe
31:35 Oh let's just talk about Ruby Harrold on beam... hmm let's have a little replay of Simone Biles and Larisa Iordache on vault... Anything happening elsewhere? Oh just Victoria Moors successfully debuting the double-twisting double layout in international competition, nothing interesting about that. The crowd has gone crazy? Nah we won't look at that. Hey, here's Gaelle Mys doing a FTY, woot! COME ON BBC WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
+violetsnvalium If I remember correctly, NBC never showed Moors either. They only show what they technical crew wants them to see. At least with BBC, you got to see a variety of gymnasts from a variety of countries. NBC pretty much only showed the top 6 and Ferrari.
+Bd H It's a shame! I really liked what the FIG did this year, putting up every single qualifications routine on CZcams. I guess they couldn't do it with the rest of the competition because of broadcasting rights, but it's good to be able to get a look at all the gymnasts.
ever since they got ridof the no standing in the corner rule most of the gymnasts have put in these really stagnant dance moves so they can have a rest
Actually, a Rudi has a similar sv with an Amanar but much higher than a DTY and it's less dangerous....so why there's not much ppl performing the Rudi in AA??
Sorry that this is a late comment btw, but the rudi is a much more difficult vault to compete than the DTY, because the yurchenko-entry exerts more force onto the board (and therefore incites more reactionary force up) than just jumping and relying on gravity alone, which gives the gymnast more air time to complete the twist. On top of that, the yurchenko vault is taught more often because it offers more "building blocks," if you will, for more difficult vaults. In other words, someone with a 1.5 of DTY has more room to improve by going up by increments of 1/2 twists, while upgrading a rudi means that you'll have to make up a new vault (side note: which Alicia Sacramone almost did!) TL;DR, more force on the board makes for higher vaults and more time to twist, and yurchenkos give the gymnast more of a chance to upgrade. Hope this helps!
true but no more blind than the American commentators who are very hawk eyed on other gymnasts whilst not been so keen eyed too their home gymnasts.......

They seem to be kind of disrespectful to the Chinese.
Also keeps calling Simone not elegant, don’t know what that was about but sounded very rude! Watching this in 2019!
@@lokiboy7029 because she's not elegant, that's why
@@undefinedd1147it was kind of disrespectful for Chinese coaches to insult everyone’s intelligence by claiming their athletes were 17.
God, I love watching Aliya Mustafina on the bars
Oh my Goodness. Isn't Shang Chunsong adorable???? She is the cutest thing ever! 😍

Oh I didn't know all this, thanks for sharing it!
I sometimes feel sorry for her... I wonder whether she will be able to retire when she wants to, or if she will have to continue to support her family.
I was always so afraid that her legs would break, she looked so frail.
There’s also the fact that she looked essentially the same age her whole career. If she WAS underaged around 12-14 like they say she was don’t they supposed she should be changing pretty drastically considering she would have been 15-17 at the olympics? It’s ridiculous the lengths people go to.
I don't think she's underage, just anorexic.
Chunsong was so teeny tiny, I had almost forgotten how little she was. Such a beautiful gymnast, I miss her.
Its amazing that after this all around gold, Simone would go on to win 13 more World medals over the course of 3 years. Simone is amazing and I can't wait for her to succeed in Rio De Janeiro 2016.
Kayla Jones And she did!!
And is now 5 time world AA champion and has officially become the most decorated female gymnast in the world!
@dawn Kennedy. She is the most decorated gymnastic ever. Both male and female.
This comment aged well
Well she's got 30 World championship medals plus 7 olympic medals, safe to say, unless someone miraculous comes along she'll forever be enshrined as the most dominant and greatest gymnast ever male or female period!
23:07 full twisting back mount onto the beam? wow!
This is one of my favorite competitions to watch. I come back to it year after year.

yawn.
thanks for uploading!
That was really good I liked it
Sasada is a badass. So is Teramoto with that triple (quad?) turn.
Simone Biles is my favorite in the whole hide world
Amber Simonds Me too!
Good lawd, Giulia Steingruber's double layout FLOATED down. She had time and then some for the rotation. Wow.
I love this video
Wonderful job for this girls!
I like Gaell Mae she is so confident well done to all the gymnasts
Do you have the event finals??

They don't do team finals the year after the Olympics. It's all individual competitions
41:49 for a second I thought she said "this is HerPes of apparatus" I laughed
Larisa Iordache is a strong gymnast, balance beam is her speciality but damn, when she fails, it's frustrating.
Venessa ferari looks goregeous
Hey guys, what's the intro-music to this? Sounds like some sort of Keane remix. Any info is much appreciated!
WOW chinese's bar is soooo good
Goat simone🤩😘🥰
the gimnastic is my sport.....yeaaa
does anyone know where i can get the men's aa final with the bbc commentary? thanks.
thx
They don't anymore. They used to hold team finals after the Olympics (as recent as 2001) but not currently.
thank you! :)
Qeen Larisa!

thank you, boy ;)
I do think that Komova should have been in this competition, but I really enjoyed watching Mustafina and Ross. Their elegance and beauty is just amazing. I congradulate Biles for her difficulty scores and power, but I can't help but favor the runner-ups. At least U.S. brought it home for the win!

26:30 that's not Elisabet Seitz !!!
It's Gaelle Mys from Belgium
And they said it was Gaelle Mys shortly after.. SMH
Which team won team finals
This competition needed a little more Viktoria Komova in it
atlete molto forti
Go Giulia! Go Vanessa! Go Kyla! Go vasiliki!
Mustafina has such a beautiful face even if she over contoured she still looked fine
good job Rebecca Tunney

@I has a brain Yes she did.
They never have a team competition following the Olympic Games. They will have them in 2014 & 2015 and 2016 are the Olympc Games
Random, but why are the vault judges standing when the actual vault is taking place? I've never seen that before.
I thought it was so they could see if a gymnast is offline
true but no more blind than the American commentators who are very hawk eyed on other gymnasts whilst not been so keen eyed too their home gymnasts.......
Chunsong looks about 13
Malnourished and overworked. Also, Chinese people are generally small by nature, do people just not understand that?
