American team is very skilled indeed, high complexity…but they seem unbalanced and heavy…Chinese Team is so elegant and gracious different performances
They are all good, Suni then Simmone have just as much difficulty, but Suni has better of both.. grace and difficulty.. though I think they all did great, Suni my fav.!
Siomone is explosive, Suni is always dependable, but the Chinese have such beautiful artistry combined with the technical difficulties, if they can hit they are for sure to win a few gold medals on individuals.
The major difference between Chinese female gymnasts and the US female gymnasts: the Chinise female gymnasts are slender and fit while the US gymnasts have taken so many banned substances, so they look watery. Just take a look at Soni Lee and Simone Biles.
It's because they're graceful, something that used to be valued in gymnastics. I really thought I was having a moment giving the benefit of doubt to a degree even though I knew, that with how HD everything is you just notice things more but no this truly proved how ungraceful some are, and that the gymnasts of old really had a lot of grace too.
@@snapplegu6100 the US girls aren’t having any trouble though. And Simone just scored higher than Qiu on beam in the AA I believe. My heart hurts for the Chinese girls.
Amazing performance by the Chinese! The ultimate gymnast would be a power house like Biles but exhibit the finesse and fluidity shown by these two Chinese girls. When will this gymnast come along? It’s an ever changing sport and hopefully the world will see one!
Not happening. There is a reason why the Chinese are so fluid and supple while someone like Simone is very powerful and that is due to how they are PHYSICALLY BUILT.
@@maylhani NOT HAPPENING. You will either have one or the other, not both. For me it quite plain to see why someone who is very proficient on bars could be just as good on beam and the gymnast who is excellent on vault is the same on floor. THEY ARE BUILT differently.
The Chinese excel at balance beam. If they can perform clean routines with no major deductions, gold is a lock. Simone excels at vault and floor so I doubt she wants to risk any major falls on beam trying to compete for beam gold.
I also think the only way Simone would win Gold on Beam is if Zhou and Quiu had a major mistake (and I Hope this don't happen)... Just like no one can Win the floor unless Simone had a fall... On Beam, both chineses athletes are in advantage... And they deserve It! Not only they have the dificulty, they are more flexible and have a "light flow" that Just favor them in the Beam (Just like Simone's strenght favor her on vault and floor)
@@OmokhefuaMomodu Adjacent neighbors, the Hmong and the Hans. But they are not both "Chinese." Before the various kingdoms of the various Chinese groups started to compete & then to coalesce --- with the Han group decisively taking over ---- the Hans were believed to occupy lands from around ancient Xi'an, along the banks of the Yellow River up north to the Beijing and Southeast to the coastal areas of Shanghai & adjacent lands, whereas the Hmong, among other smaller tribes, were reported to have clash with the Hans, from areas south and southwest of ancient Xi'an down to the Yantze River (what's today central China). After a few thousand years of struggle & especially when the first Chinese Emperor consolidate power, Hmong and other minorities were slowly driven southward, toward the more periphery, more rugged areas, for those not willing to convert to be what the Hans wanted or those who disobeyed the conquering Hans' rules. It's nothing special; this is just how human tribes and groups interact: ---- the smaller and less powerful are either exterminated, subjugated/converted, or driven out of their traditional homelands (lands by which we mean ANCESTORS who gave birth to them having settled on for endless generations in their memories and record of activities)... Presently, around 95% of the Hmong (5th or 6th largest ethnic group in China) and other smaller groups were pushed to largely the southern bank of the Yantze River --- lands surrounded by modern Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and Yunnan, the four southernmost provinces ---- the more rugged areas of southern China. +++++ For those interested in HISTORY, of Suni Lee's recent background, as it pertains to HUMAN GROUP CATEGORIES, in the US.... nothing to do with Gymnastics ++++++ For those into modern history, Suni Lee's parents were from northern Laos, from the very small 500,000 or so Hmong who had crossed over from Yunnan to northern Laos, only about 150 to 200 years or so ago. Presently, there's up to 1M Hmong on northern Vietnam. Those were WITH the Chinese & North Vietnamese Communists. There are around 500,000 Hmong in northern Laos. Again, it's from those original 500,000 Hmong in northern Laos --- but from the FACTION, roughly 50%, who aligned with the French & then with the Americans, from the 1940s through the 1970s --- that Suni Lee's grandparents and parents came. So, if you tally up all the Hmong OUTSIDE of China, like those from northern Thailand, northern Laos, northern Vietnam and the few thousands in northeastern Burma, you have more or less 5% of the total global Hmong population. And THAT, interestingly enough, is one of the problem of CATEGORIZING Hmong in the US, in the US Census: At least 95% of the various related Hmong groups/tribes STILL live in China, around 12M - 13M; but close to 100% of those having "made it" to the West, came from the tiny group that crossed into northern Laos, around 150+ years ago; and Laos is considered SOUTHEAST ASIA. So, American census officials have a hard time SQUARING THAT CIRCLE: Are Hmong "East Asians," as an ethnic/racial CATEGORY, because ~95% of the Hmong people still live in central to southern China... or are they "Southeast Asians," due to the fact that all Western Hmong are those who or whose parents & grandparents came from northern Laos?

Side Somi used to be one of the ugliest skill (aside from wolf turns) on beam. Yet Zhou linking it to a Tuck Jump 1/1 and a Reverse Stretch Jump 1/1 made it way more spectacular than usual. A very innovative composition 👍
17-19 skills with 6-9 slow connections vs 13-14 skills with 2-3 slow connections. Everyone's D score will instantly drop with a small wobble in the first skill of the connection. So it's a contest in probability distribution.
And you were right😂, Zhou and Qiu d score have been dropped multiple times and rightfully so because they’re so hesitant on their connections. And now Qiu is not even in the final and Zhou got a low 12, and even Rebecca scored higher and beam is her weakest event. It’s beneficial to up the difficulty but also risky and detrimental. We are seeing the risky and detrimental with Zhou and Qiu increasing their difficulty. All I know is since Zhou isn’t in the all around final, she needs to be trying to get her beam together before the event finals, she just has to only worry about her beam now since she’s not in any other competition besides the beam final.
After trials Suni was asked what her personal goals were for Paris, she said: Team gold, make the AA final, podium on bars, gold on beam. Tall order but not impossible.
It's balance beam anything can happen... if they have mistakes they won't but I think that's all Simone is missing is a medal on beam that's gold... let's hope for the best
I've been following Chinese WAG this whole quad and honestly Zhou and Qiu are the most consistent athletes China has had in a while. We are always saying "if they hit" with Chinese WAG but I think they actually have a pretty good hit rate. I want to see those 7.0+ D scores given at Paris❤
Yeah unfortunately they are not consistent right now. Qiu didn’t even make the finals and Zhou fell. Both of their d scores has been downgraded and rightfully so because they are both so hesitant on their connections. Zhou got a low 12 and Rebeca got a higher score than her while beam is her weakest event. Zhou better try to get her beam together for event finals because she isn’t in any other event besides the beam final, so she should only have to work on her beam from now on until finals.
This is one gold (nor considering bars AT ALL) that is not in Simone's hands (on her feet?). The only way I can see her winning this is if the Chinese miss a number of their connections (very possible) and or fall which ironically is everybody else's position with Simone when it comes to AA, Vault and Floor.
@@arboreea1312 Of course Simone can 'miss too' in which case it can open the door for any number of the finalists. Because this will be the most stacked event and because beam is the one apparatus that every winner is the most difficult to call off the bat ( everything is based on a IF), every contestant would need to be on their game from beginning to end.
Anyone doing a wolf spin on beam should get a 0.5 point deduction for execution. So many elements of beam get a deduction for form and execution, but horrific wolf spins get a pass.
I'm rooting for my girl Suni, but this is prob China's win to take. Gorgeous and elegant. Also, Suni's leo at that meet is one of the prettiest leos I've seen.
@@whatchahowsya8688 nope! Simone is reigning world champion on Beam beating the two Chinese girls 9 months ago! Rebecca Andrade got the bronze on beam!
Suni Lee and Ohashi are the living proof that a gymnast can be explosive, flexible and graceful *simultaneously* . That' s what WAG is all about. It' s called being 360°. Doing unhumanly possible jumps without pointed feet is just extream tumbling, not WAG.
China seems to excel at domestic meets but wobbles internationally. Simone gets the mistakes out of the way usually on domestic meets but usually pretty consistent internationally. I guess we will see come Paris.
lol you are so blind! the Chinese are so beautiful on all their apparatus. Elegance mixed with technical difficulties. I am not dissing Suni, but the Chinese are way more graceful.
US women’s gymnastics has a lot of great performance time spent via NCAA. Because of this, they are more prepared to withstand PRESSURE. A plus for our women that the other systems lack.
I think Suni has..a special on her..not just her talent their is something on Suni..if u can look at all her routine ..its very clean even he..sometimes..done a mistake..their is something on her..can i say...glow..a magic..a beauty
Suni's was the most beautiful to watch. Both the Chinese, and especially the second one, seem to have clunky flow and slow connections. It depends on how strict the judges are, but it's a deduction to have a slow connection, and Chinese domestic scoring has been really inflated lately. It's weird to say, but if all four hit, it's quite possible that Simone is the lowest scoring one unless she has some upgrades we don't know about.
@@ITOLDUDA she is the reigning World champion on the beam beating the two Chinese girls Qiu had a major mistake and placed 6th out of 8 Rebeca won Bronze on Beam!
Simone ‘s execution is masculine like hero fighting on the bean but China gymnasts’ execution like ladies dancing on the bean. 😅what is your choice and preference?
This balance beam final was the gymnastic finals with the most falls that I've watched so far and some of them we're quite unexpected for me. Especially after I've seen this huge score from Zhou from that massive 7.2 difficulty routine and how she performed it so well at the Chinese nationals, Biles with her series of flips which she usually performs so well and how Sunisa Lee performed at the USA team selection and the fact that she even past the score of Biles once. Falls included Simone Biles and Sunisa Lee. Zhou Yaqin putted her hands on the beam to keep balance. (They we're the top 3 contenders since Qiu Qiyuan wasn't on that apparatus final) Other gymnasts also fell. Zhou said that the beam was a little more rounded apparently then what she usually trains on and that she wasn't used to it she explained from an interview done with her after the team finals where she fell off the apparatus twice maybe that and the pressure of the audience with that silence when the athletes went on the apparatus let to the falls by her and the other athletes. Congratulations to all the medalists and all the gymnasts who performed!
In all fairness, beam has always been China's best event and not Simone's best. I'm always impressed watching how China makes it look so easy. Just beautiful. Love you Simone, best of luck to all of Team USA! ❤🤍💙
As chinesas em finais são sempre umas incógnitas. Podem acertar tudo...Ou simplesmente errarem e caírem da trave. Caso houvesse uma casa de apostas, eu preferia NÃO apostar nas chinesas. Dificuldades na trave elas têm de sobras, porém, costumam falhar em momentos decisivos. Torço para que as oito finalistas acertem as suas séries. Pois dessa forma, o público e a ginástica artística só têm a ganhar.
Yes, that's usually the experience of the Chinese women, both as a group and as individuals: one Olympics after another, both Chinese men and women have world class skills. But during big moments, while the Chinese men --- both individuals and as a team have won big over the years ---- Chinese women, in 10 Olympic appearances over 40 years, have never won the most coveted AA Individual Gold, even though they have won the TEAM Gold (2008, OLY) and individual apparatus OLY gold's before....
@@enzoleonardo4822 Eu sei disso. E quis dizer no contexto geral. A China é assim não só na ginástica com em outros esportes também, a exemplo do voleibol. Já vi a China com o placar favorável de 14 a 9 no último set no vôlei feminino contra o Brasil e levar a virada. As chinesas têm fama de amarelonas. Na ginástica já caíram das barras assimétricas em momentos decisivos.
@@shellyjackson5780 If the chinese hit their routines, they are guaranteed gold and silver, not even simone can beat them, even suni has a better chance of taking the bronze than simone
@@KevaFloresit is false she intended to do a 6.8 and only get credited a 6.5 so not perfect routine, she would’ve score a 15 if she really was flawless
Beam yea.. But team USA’s approach for this olympics is kinda different and might be the legendary one to come! Looking forward to Sunisa and Asher. Go team USA!🇺🇸
They are all very talented and it always come down to IF they have no major falls or all connections are made. The Chinese girls are very good, but there was a number of hesitation or obvious wobbles in their routines that I do not think that were deducted. International scoring on beam is brutal, usually has the lowest execution scores than any other event. I think the Chinese judges are just a little more lenient with the scores to their gymnast. I wish all competitors the best of luck and it will be a really good competition.
Es una verdadera tristeza que las gimnastas RUSAS no esten presentes en estos Juegos Olímpicos son excelentes gimnastas y las chinas son también bastante buenas.mis favoritas siempre han sido las rusas pero ni modo que gane la mejor.
Chinese are so small in frame and build and they look like feather weight... its easy for them. As with some of the Russians. Not sure what the hype is about Simone.. I prefer Suni Lee
@@worldculturepulse A very stupid debate. For all the gracefulness and elegance of the Chinese, they cannot make a decent score on vault nor on floor to even QUALIFY for one of those finals let alone challenge for a medal. Whereas Simone with her 'power' usually qualifies for EVERY APPARATUS final and well I do not have to tell you what her record is. Personally I agree with the commentator at the Rio Games after Simone's floor exercise in the Team final, " *Simone Biles (is) re-defining the meaning of power and elegance, taking it to a whole new level* " . Yep that is Simone, her POWER is something BEAUTIFUL to behold as well as the supple elegance of the Chinese. Two different types of elegance.
Las gimnastas chinas me parecen más completas porque reúnen la gimnasia y lo artístico, en cambio las estadounidenses solo son acróbatas carecen de arte en sus movimientos.
Chinese gymnasts were like robots - super fluid. Felt like the terminators are coming to wipe us out 🤣 Did these two girls participate in Paris? If they pulled anything closed to these performances - should have got medals 💯
czcams.com/users/shorts_8fOyrhD324?si=XRr934gk1NuBTXP1 Yes, Zhou earned silver and went viral for her medal-biting on the podium! You can see it in the link above. She is #7.
It all has to do with preference. Unlike most fans, I have an appreciation for both styles. I can see the beauty in the different deliveries and routines. Last year's gold duel between Simone and Zhou was an example of how different each style can be but still beautiful to see. I hope everyone is able to perform at their best and may the best of the best win.
Is there a reason why Simone Biles never points her toes? Does she lack proper mobility and flexibility in her ankles? Gabi Douglas is the same. There I said it. Now lets see the hate comments, bring it on. Im dying to see what ppl will say in rebuttle.
She actually does point her toes however she doesn’t have much of an arch in her feet. It makes her feet still look flat. Simone would need take full on ballet toe point classes to work on it.
It’s hard to have the Chinese go 1-2 as thought by a lot of people if only one Chinese gymnast made the event final. I still say Simone will win gold. And yes I realize she qualified 2nd.
Idc that everyone is upset at mckayla skinner, this years us team is weak, like the only person getting those 15 pts is simone. Had the other three not injured themselves, they wouldve been top four and suni in 5th
@@Eeluon Skinner wasn't wrong. Since 2017 they have no discipline. It's all about drinking Starbucks, twerking after dismounts, and acting ghetto like Chiles
Suni has a better chance against the Chinese, who can come off as a bit mechanical. Suni's style is more fluid. I also think she has the best split jumps. I love Simone, but there isn't as much originality. I heard she might do the double-double dismount though...
I think they will award them according to that performance..that they...anything can happen.anytime in this sport....they are all incredible...chinese...its just happen this is not their time...chinese they are all young..they will award also medal

Presently, around 95% of the Hmong (5th or 6th largest ethnic group in China) and other smaller groups were pushed to largely the southern bank of the Yantze River --- lands surrounded by modern Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangxi, and Yunnan, the four southernmost provinces ---- the more rugged areas of southern China.
+++++ For those interested in HISTORY, of Suni Lee's recent background, as it pertains to HUMAN GROUP CATEGORIES, in the US.... nothing to do with Gymnastics ++++++
For those into modern history, Suni Lee's parents were from northern Laos, from the very small 500,000 or so Hmong who had crossed over from Yunnan to northern Laos, only about 150 to 200 years or so ago.
Presently, there's up to 1M Hmong on northern Vietnam. Those were WITH the Chinese & North Vietnamese Communists. There are around 500,000 Hmong in northern Laos. Again, it's from those original 500,000 Hmong in northern Laos --- but from the FACTION, roughly 50%, who aligned with the French & then with the Americans, from the 1940s through the 1970s --- that Suni Lee's grandparents and parents came.
So, if you tally up all the Hmong OUTSIDE of China, like those from northern Thailand, northern Laos, northern Vietnam and the few thousands in northeastern Burma, you have more or less 5% of the total global Hmong population.
And THAT, interestingly enough, is one of the problem of CATEGORIZING Hmong in the US, in the US Census: At least 95% of the various related Hmong groups/tribes STILL live in China, around 12M - 13M; but close to 100% of those having "made it" to the West, came from the tiny group that crossed into northern Laos, around 150+ years ago; and Laos is considered SOUTHEAST ASIA.
So, American census officials have a hard time SQUARING THAT CIRCLE:
Are Hmong "East Asians," as an ethnic/racial CATEGORY, because ~95% of the Hmong people still live in central to southern China... or are they "Southeast Asians," due to the fact that all Western Hmong are those who or whose parents & grandparents came from northern Laos?
The Chinese technique, fluidity, and elegance are top-notch. I'm just in awe!!

They are so light and graceful!
BRAVO Sunisa lee BRAVO merci
If the chinese hit their routines, they are easily gold and silver, and I think suni can take the bronze and beat simone
Agreed, if the Chinese hit then they will automatically win gold and siver based on their difficulty scores alone
Hesley might be in the mix too
Interesting.
BIG if
This is going to be the event I’m most excited to watch!
There are quite a few gymnasts who can perform well!
I'm most excited for bars!! But this will be so great too
Suni has the total package...beauty, grace, creativity and difficulty of routine!
She is so fun to watch!
Anyone doing a wolf spin on beam should get a 0.5 point deduction for execution. So many elements of beam get a deduction for form and execution, but horrific wolf spins get a pass.
The despised wolf turn… 😂
I'm rooting for my girl Suni, but this is prob China's win to take. Gorgeous and elegant. Also, Suni's leo at that meet is one of the prettiest leos I've seen.
@@whatchahowsya8688 nope! Simone is reigning world champion on Beam beating the two Chinese girls 9 months ago! Rebecca Andrade got the bronze on beam!
I mean it's Simone. She's taking everything lol @@KevaFlores
Zhou’s medal biting photos are epic cute.
Suni Lee and Ohashi are the living proof that a gymnast can be explosive, flexible and graceful *simultaneously* . That' s what WAG is all about. It' s called being 360°. Doing unhumanly possible jumps without pointed feet is just extream tumbling, not WAG.
China seems to excel at domestic meets but wobbles internationally. Simone gets the mistakes out of the way usually on domestic meets but usually pretty consistent internationally. I guess we will see come Paris.
Thanks for your insight!
Whatever the score or difficulty, Suni is just so much more graceful than the rest.
what
😂
lol you are so blind! the Chinese are so beautiful on all their apparatus. Elegance mixed with technical difficulties. I am not dissing Suni, but the Chinese are way more graceful.
@@lillybloom5330 nope!
US women’s gymnastics has a lot of great performance time spent via NCAA. Because of this, they are more prepared to withstand PRESSURE. A plus for our women that the other systems lack.
Great point!
@@juliesmith5620 💯💯💯💯
I will say USA all the way! The first girl that did a somersault midair was pretty amazing she landed right on the beam.
Thank you!
Give credit where credit is due. Simone Biles is the GOAT, what ever they have bring it on and let the judges decide.
I think Suni has..a special on her..not just her talent their is something on Suni..if u can look at all her routine ..its very clean even he..sometimes..done a mistake..their is something on her..can i say...glow..a magic..a beauty
She is very elegant.
We can't forget the Brazilian gymnasts. without a doubt it will be the biggest rivals. they are excellent
Suni's was the most beautiful to watch. Both the Chinese, and especially the second one, seem to have clunky flow and slow connections. It depends on how strict the judges are, but it's a deduction to have a slow connection, and Chinese domestic scoring has been really inflated lately. It's weird to say, but if all four hit, it's quite possible that Simone is the lowest scoring one unless she has some upgrades we don't know about.
@@ITOLDUDA she is the reigning World champion on the beam beating the two Chinese girls Qiu had a major mistake and placed 6th out of 8 Rebeca won Bronze on Beam!
@@KevaFlores That girl is called Zhang Qingying, Qiu did not even compete at beams final last year😅🤣.
You must be blind
@@leestann5716 my mistake.
There are rumors going around about Simone’s dismount possibly being upgraded. We will see!
Simone ‘s execution is masculine like hero fighting on the bean but China gymnasts’ execution like ladies dancing on the bean. 😅what is your choice and preference?
This balance beam final was the gymnastic finals with the most falls that I've watched so far and some of them we're quite unexpected for me. Especially after I've seen this huge score from Zhou from that massive 7.2 difficulty routine and how she performed it so well at the Chinese nationals, Biles with her series of flips which she usually performs so well and how Sunisa Lee performed at the USA team selection and the fact that she even past the score of Biles once. Falls included Simone Biles and Sunisa Lee. Zhou Yaqin putted her hands on the beam to keep balance. (They we're the top 3 contenders since Qiu Qiyuan wasn't on that apparatus final) Other gymnasts also fell. Zhou said that the beam was a little more rounded apparently then what she usually trains on and that she wasn't used to it she explained from an interview done with her after the team finals where she fell off the apparatus twice maybe that and the pressure of the audience with that silence when the athletes went on the apparatus let to the falls by her and the other athletes. Congratulations to all the medalists and all the gymnasts who performed!
Great observations!
Here have gathered the best from around the world. Beautiful. Blessings to all.
Clear,Smooth and precision Yes!! but difficulty is for Simone Biles🎉
It will be exciting!
They are like dancing on the balance beam. LOL
Very elegant.
They are all incredible!
It’s going to be so fun to watch!
@@worldculturepulse I know i'm so excited!
@@worldculturepulsei wish shilese was going , i mean im still excited about bars final but still… she was a contender
@@dayvaughnmonroe9540 my dream podium was Kaylia, Nina and Shilese in any order (but really, Kaylia in 1st)...maybe next Worlds.
@@dayvaughnmonroe9540Never was a contender.
I luv watching Suni. She moves with grace and style.
I'm sorry but Zhou is superior to her in every aspect.
sun lee est tres élégante, bonne chance a toutes les JO de paris 2024
Simone is the goat and always will be. There is no one like her period. And im not American.
In all fairness, beam has always been China's best event and not Simone's best. I'm always impressed watching how China makes it look so easy. Just beautiful. Love you Simone, best of luck to all of Team USA! ❤🤍💙
China dominated great to see extraordinary talent
As chinesas em finais são sempre umas incógnitas. Podem acertar tudo...Ou simplesmente errarem e caírem da trave. Caso houvesse uma casa de apostas, eu preferia NÃO apostar nas chinesas. Dificuldades na trave elas têm de sobras, porém, costumam falhar em momentos decisivos. Torço para que as oito finalistas acertem as suas séries. Pois dessa forma, o público e a ginástica artística só têm a ganhar.
Yes, that's usually the experience of the Chinese women, both as a group and as individuals: one Olympics after another, both Chinese men and women have world class skills.
But during big moments, while the Chinese men --- both individuals and as a team have won big over the years ---- Chinese women, in 10 Olympic appearances over 40 years, have never won the most coveted AA Individual Gold, even though they have won the TEAM Gold (2008, OLY) and individual apparatus OLY gold's before....
A Zhou yaqin geralmente costuma acerta em momentos decisivos
@@gabridb_ Torço para que ela acerte. Dessa forma ganha ela e os amantes da ginástica artística.
Isso não se encaixa na prova de trave. Elas são atuais campeãs olímpicas além de que ganharam em 2012 também.
@@enzoleonardo4822 Eu sei disso. E quis dizer no contexto geral. A China é assim não só na ginástica com em outros esportes também, a exemplo do voleibol. Já vi a China com o placar favorável de 14 a 9 no último set no vôlei feminino contra o Brasil e levar a virada. As chinesas têm fama de amarelonas. Na ginástica já caíram das barras assimétricas em momentos decisivos.
There is no value without the Russian team!!!
They have always added so much to the competition.
There is also a great italian girl for beam finals… beam will be the most exciting unforseen final of all EFs
I think it will be exciting. You never know what will happen on beam! Several Americans unexpectedly fell at trials.
Suni Lee got my vote.👍
She is amazing!
Kaylia Nemour could be in the final if she hits. It will be really exciting to see who the 8 end up being.
There are SO many talented gymnasts.
I believe Simone can win gold. She did at Worlds, so it’s possible. She didn’t need a 7.1 difficulty to do it either.
@@shellyjackson5780 If the chinese hit their routines, they are guaranteed gold and silver, not even simone can beat them, even suni has a better chance of taking the bronze than simone
@@user-jh1my key word “if”
She is a TOUGH competitor, for sure.
@@user-jh1mywrong answer Zagnin did hit her routine perfectly at Worlds and Simone beat her!
@@KevaFloresit is false she intended to do a 6.8 and only get credited a 6.5 so not perfect routine, she would’ve score a 15 if she really was flawless
If China 🇨🇳 hits, they go 1, 2 🥇🥈 Their style is unmatched
The Chinese gymnast is for more superior to Biles routine.
So beautiful, US and China both have very different style which are all amazing❤❤❤
I love that you can appreciate all of the girls’ athleticism!
USA number one🥇
Can’t wait to watch!
Beam yea.. But team USA’s approach for this olympics is kinda different and might be the legendary one to come! Looking forward to Sunisa and Asher. Go team USA!🇺🇸
So touching AND it is making me crying !
The Chinese team here is light as a feather with graceful executions. The us team is... heavy and not pleasant to watch.
Ой,мамочки...золотые девочки,какая легкость и элегантность!Какой труд за этим стоит!
They all work so hard!
Essa prova da Zhou Yaqin é insana!
They are all very talented and it always come down to IF they have no major falls or all connections are made. The Chinese girls are very good, but there was a number of hesitation or obvious wobbles in their routines that I do not think that were deducted. International scoring on beam is brutal, usually has the lowest execution scores than any other event. I think the Chinese judges are just a little more lenient with the scores to their gymnast. I wish all competitors the best of luck and it will be a really good competition.
Es una verdadera tristeza que las gimnastas RUSAS no esten presentes en estos Juegos Olímpicos son excelentes gimnastas y las chinas son también bastante buenas.mis favoritas siempre han sido las rusas pero ni modo que gane la mejor.
Chinese are so small in frame and build and they look like feather weight... its easy for them. As with some of the Russians. Not sure what the hype is about Simone.. I prefer Suni Lee
Suni is very graceful.
I think team usa was more impressive but team China is good too
I wish they would have had better luck in the Olympics so far! Fingers crossed for apparatus finals.
I don't know why people rate Simon Biles highly..... she doesn't look graceful or elegant at all. Or am I missing something here?
Power vs. elegance is a huge debate in the gymnastics world.
@@worldculturepulse A very stupid debate. For all the gracefulness and elegance of the Chinese, they cannot make a decent score on vault nor on floor to even QUALIFY for one of those finals let alone challenge for a medal. Whereas Simone with her 'power' usually qualifies for EVERY APPARATUS final and well I do not have to tell you what her record is. Personally I agree with the commentator at the Rio Games after Simone's floor exercise in the Team final, " *Simone Biles (is) re-defining the meaning of power and elegance, taking it to a whole new level* " . Yep that is Simone, her POWER is something BEAUTIFUL to behold as well as the supple elegance of the Chinese. Two different types of elegance.
Chinese BEAM oo smooth and clean
Hard to beat if she sticks her routine!
Chinese will take beam and UB. I really don't understand why so much attention and glorified Simone...she is not hitting them big numbers at all.
Las gimnastas chinas me parecen más completas porque reúnen la gimnasia y lo artístico, en cambio las estadounidenses solo son acróbatas carecen de arte en sus movimientos.
Two different styles, for sure!
Wish Guan Chenchen was still competing
Chinese gymnasts were like robots - super fluid. Felt like the terminators are coming to wipe us out 🤣 Did these two girls participate in Paris? If they pulled anything closed to these performances - should have got medals 💯
They did but only one went to the final, she touched the beam but she ended up with silver because there were 5 falls including Simone and Suni
czcams.com/users/shorts_8fOyrhD324?si=XRr934gk1NuBTXP1
Yes, Zhou earned silver and went viral for her medal-biting on the podium! You can see it in the link above. She is #7.
It will be really awesome to watch ❤
China is boring to watch for me. America always has a little more spice to their routine.
Biles shows more confidence and hits it quick.
Thanks for sharing your opinion!
It all has to do with preference. Unlike most fans, I have an appreciation for both styles. I can see the beauty in the different deliveries and routines. Last year's gold duel between Simone and Zhou was an example of how different each style can be but still beautiful to see. I hope everyone is able to perform at their best and may the best of the best win.
Simone’s 2016 beam routine, they wouldn’t have stood a chance but her coach Cecile chose to downgrade her routine so 🤷🏾♀️
Is there a reason why Simone Biles never points her toes? Does she lack proper mobility and flexibility in her ankles? Gabi Douglas is the same. There I said it. Now lets see the hate comments, bring it on. Im dying to see what ppl will say in rebuttle.
She actually does point her toes however she doesn’t have much of an arch in her feet. It makes her feet still look flat. Simone would need take full on ballet toe point classes to work on it.
@@jevonkwell she should. Her routines will look alot cleaner and neater.
این بانویژیمناستیک کارعالی بود❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
rooting for suni to get a medal on the balance beam!
It’s hard to have the Chinese go 1-2 as thought by a lot of people if only one Chinese gymnast made the event final. I still say Simone will win gold. And yes I realize she qualified 2nd.
Idc that everyone is upset at mckayla skinner, this years us team is weak, like the only person getting those 15 pts is simone. Had the other three not injured themselves, they wouldve been top four and suni in 5th
@@Eeluon Skinner wasn't wrong. Since 2017 they have no discipline. It's all about drinking Starbucks, twerking after dismounts, and acting ghetto like Chiles
Suni has a better chance against the Chinese, who can come off as a bit mechanical. Suni's style is more fluid. I also think she has the best split jumps. I love Simone, but there isn't as much originality. I heard she might do the double-double dismount though...
If she does do the double double, it will make for an even more exciting and possibly closer competition!
@@cunyc1 just read she upped her mount too adding 4/10ths!
Simone!
Suni we will pray 🙏🙏 for you will win and safe we love you ❤❤
❤️
I think they will award them according to that performance..that they...anything can happen.anytime in this sport....they are all incredible...chinese...its just happen this is not their time...chinese they are all young..they will award also medal
They ARE very young. Excellent point.
Keep being safe and healthy. God bless USA go go go🙏🙏🙏
China for the win graceful and the difficulty the best
Well that is what they want give all the gold to Simone 😔
