    It seems like everyone is always against this young lady and almost never gives her the credit she deserves. But the thing is she is one of the greatest to ever do it and NO ONE can take that away from her!

      Not only that, she would NEVER cite mental struggle as her excuse for not competing. She would use that as motivation to win.

      @@brandonaldaymachuse6669I’m always genuinely curious about this sort of perspective! I’m very aware who you are taking a dig at. My question to you is this: do you believe her when she said that she was so off mentally she felt she would hurt herself going forward? Or, do you feel even if that was true, she still should’ve pushed forward?

    Lots of people ragged on Gabby and said she didn’t deserve Rio but here’s some food for thought:
    1. She came 3rd in All Around during Quals and was only axed from Final due to 2-per country rule. The same rule that cost Jordyn Wieber her 2012 spot in the AA final. There was outrage when it happened to Jordyn, not so much for Gabby.
    2. If Gabby did advance to final, her Qual score was higher than Raisman’s score in final. So Gabby could have won Silver in AA if she just reproduced what she did in Quals.
    3. Sure she balked during the UB final but she still made a single final, same as Aly. And the routine Gabby did on UB during TF would have been enough for bronze in the EF, so she had it in her to win a medal at that final. It just wasn’t her night.
    4. While she only did UB during TF, she was certainly a very very secure back up had some shit gone down with the 3 who went up on all other pieces. She literally could put up a bigger number than most of the Russian team on all pieces. That’s the type of team member you need at the Games.
    Overall I think US fans soured on Gabby cos she wasn’t willing to play the game y’all wanted. But she fucking deserved Rio.

    Proud of Gabby in 2016, she came back and made the team again unlike many others who tried and failed. Then she was great at the Olympics as well. Helped the team perfectly to win gold. Qualified 3rd overall in AA. USA could have gone 123 in AA final.

      Lita cook oh she is a special talent. Maybe I wasn’t clear enough:
      She did dominate. I meant to say her dominance would have gone beyond 2012... Biles was younger and more exciting, and overall better talent. Gabby just couldn’t keep up.

      I think 2012 Gabby could surprise Biles, especially if Biles messed up on floor or fell on her vault. That's what happened in 2012...but if Simone hits, if Komova landed that vault, I don't think Gabby would even be mentioned after 2012.

    Gabby's attitude changed. I've only seen one other gymnast's attitude change and that was Yelena Mukhina. She beginned to hate gymnastics over time.......and boy did it show! I find I can't enjoy a gymnast who's not enthused about what she's doing because it makes me wonder if they truly like what they are doing.
    I wonder if Gabby's decision to fire her old coach, who helped her get the gold medal, proved to be a fatal mistake on her part?

    • @Allhoney33
      @Allhoney33 Před 4 lety +3

      @AshTheOne AshTheOne Just remember, I said "attitude". I said nothing about smiling.
      Svetlana Boguinskaya never smiled but she was passionate about what she was doing and I could tell. Thus, I enjoyed her competitions, while everyone else thought she was a bytch because she didn't smile.
      I observe a person's demeanor. Someone's demeanor says a lot about how they're feeling. As with the case of Yelena Mukhina and Gabby Douglas.

    • @Allhoney33
      @Allhoney33 Před 4 lety +1

      @AshTheOne Well since it's my perception, as you pointed out, then why are you so bothered? Now that's the interesting part. You know it's my perception, yet you're triggered?
      I mean you came crawling to me, to cuss and cry about my perception. Not to mention your gross misinterpretation of my comment. I suppose your obvious attempt at projection or misplaced anger, is partly due to your poor cognitive processing skills. Hence, your attempt at dragging me, only to end up dragging yourself.
      Your behavior is elementary at best and I suggest you advance both cognitively and behaviorally because you're gonna have serious problems in life if you get this emotionally distraught over someone else's perception.

      I wonder if the abuse from Nassar had something to do with her change in attitude. Also after going through one Olympic cycle I’m sure she’s more than aware of how demanding and difficult the process is so maybe she’s tryna be more focused in order to impress the team selection committee. Especially with the amount of depth the US has. Simone was the only guaranteed spot for this team. Everyone else had something to prove.

    • @nicolecooper1569
      @nicolecooper1569 Před 4 lety +4

    • @Allhoney33
      @Allhoney33 Před 4 lety +4

      @@nicolecooper1569 I certainly wouldn't rule out the Nassar abuse. The travesty he committed is beyond horrid. He should have been given the death sentence!
      I'd read that Gabby was the breadwinner for her entire family. I remember thinking.....good grief, that's an insane and ridiculous responsibility for such a young woman. So I was wondering if she got burned out and didn't have any passion or heart for gymnastics anymore. Perhaps was being pressured to stay in and push, push, push by family so she could keep making coins. Whatever the cause, it really had a profound effect on her and changed her attitude.
      To everyone's surprise, Gabby finished 7th at the 2016 Olympic trials, which would have eliminated her from going to the Rio Olympics. However, Marta Karolyi choose her and Madison over the higher qualified gymnasts because she felt Gabby and Madison could help the team win the team gold since uneven bars is a weak spot for the Americans and those two were stronger on uneven bars. I actually wondered if Gabby underperformed at the trials on purpose. Like did she even want to go to the Olympics? People would be surprised at how a person can hate something they once loved.
      The one other gymnast who's demeanor changed the same way was Yelena Mukhina. She said she went from loving gymnastics to hating it because her coach, Mikhail Klimenko, treated her like a robot and kept pushing and pushing her to do harder and harder routines so she could keep winning gold. It ultimately led to tragedy in her case because during practice she snapped her neck, rendering her a quadriplegic. She said after she snapped her neck, her first thought was......well, at least I don't have to go to the Olympics........ that speaks volumes and breaks my heart.
