2008 WAG Olympic Trials Day 1

[@CathRas95]

Love Sam .. Wish we could have seen all her gymnastics in the Olympics.

[@debaratibiswas7975]

Always love to watch these legends again and again 😍🙏

[@nathanielhalls1893]

Do you have day 2 and the 2016 Olympic trials day 1 and 2?

[@soph3349]

thank you so much for posting these!!

[@lobaznyuk5094]

Glad you like them!

[@tatilalima2874]

Chelsie e seu pai a dupla mais linda Chow e SHAWN um amor 😍

[@2134knees]

And Chelsie is now BACK at it training for 2021 Olypics or Worlds!!!!!

[@nathan10120]

Lol olympics OR worlds... hopefully olympics.

[@2134knees]

Agreed

[@NYLI11]

Do you know why she stopped? I was watching her train and complete then she seemed to stop out of no where. I never heard why.

[@2134knees]

@@NYLI11 I'm sure she stopped when the job with USAG came up (right after Tom Forester left). She's part of the new lead (I think it's technical something or other)? I forget what the title exactly is.

[@humblebeans5511]

The look in Nastia’s eyes at 1:02:10 says it all. She knows exactly who she is.

[@londonstewart2544]

Are you going to post day 2

[@somethingelse9176]

She probably would have been 2-per-countried, but I bet a healthy Samantha Peszek could have contended for a beam medal.

[@nicholasnickk5892]

What kept Shayla Worley off the olympic team? I assume back injury?

[@InevitableMonth29]

I remember seeing pictures of her coming out in a wheelchair at the Karolyi camp, which suggests she got injured at camp right after trials. So many injuries in that horrid place, to think what these athletes must have gone through there.

[@doodlemunch2774]

The way Alicia walks off the podium after her vault is queen behavior 😂

[@shelbypeacee]

These are the noisiest bars ever.

[@calebforal1301]

3:17 one of the best executed illusion turns. ur welcome

[@stephaner1234]

Watched the all-around women’s gymnastics today from 2024. They scored much much higher back in 2008. However, I thought Biles is completing routines that are much more difficult than back then. Did something change?

[@emeyy4648]

the code of points has downgraded a lot of the moves in the routines here meaning that if these routines were performed today theyd have a lesser start value compared to the routines simone is performing. but also execution scores were wild in 2008 and judging has become more strict so the e scores that the gymnasts got here wouldnt stand in 2024, like nastias bar routine for example

[@estherl3902]

where can we find day 2?

[@traciejimenez2589]

At 1:09:59 you can hear Tim say “DAMN” in regards to Sacramone’s vault on the replay 😂

[@gymcentric5727]

I think he said “bam” 😂

[@ferdyspears]

He always says "BAM" and that's what he said here. Or Kerpow!

[@michellebaker6302]

I was at this competition and the recording does NOT do justice to how high Alicia flew on vault! I was stunned seeing it in person and even now, a decade and a half later, I remember being in total awe.

[@jamierigglehtd4life_CursedCrew]

Why doesn't anyone have 2008 Day 2 trials?

[@Jaycee1200_]

I love Nastia but I hate when they say the front flip to one leg was Nastia's original move and she came up with it on her own. It was done by a Romanian gymnast in the 2007 worlds during the team and BB finals.

[@Jaycee1200_]

@@airtonpaiva5389 Look up Steliana Nistor 2007 world championships beam finals. Nastia won those beam finals if I remember correctly. And after watching Nistor in those beam finals, Nastia went home and perfected that move and debuted it at the 2008 American Cup and told everyone that she came up with it all on her own 😳🤦‍♀️

[@timothychiles6675]

Lozechko for the Russians did it in 2006 in the same world championship nastia was in as well.

[@coll4455]

Right and that’s why it’s not named after her

[@nmixx.changeupletsgo]

@@coll4455It actually was called the Liukin but they stopped recognising that skill as a D skill in later codes. Instead of being a D skill, it would count as a C+A skill

The bars are squeaking. It's annoying

[@francisnguyen6349]

Love this video, GYMFAN.

[@Gymnastics-me8hu]

OMG THANK YOUUU!!!!

[@teryncoffman]

Nastia seems to get over scored quite a bit. How did she get that execution score on beam with that dismount??

[@jbmusician2007]

Favoritism and politics

[@Anthony-lp1jn]

Every meet like the national competitions in America were overscored back then compare their scores to Beijing

[@colesmith7509]

No one's bars are as overscored as Nastia's. Her dismount was a 0.3 leg separation, 0.1 flexed feet, 0.5 squat (really a fall but whatever they counted it as her landing it), a 0.3 step, and honestly a body posture fault. Her dismount had a minimum of 1.2 in deductions alone. It's insane that she ever won medals with her dismount and especially that that routine got a 9.0 E score

[@Lana2k6]

They were very lenient even by 2008 standards. She would have been lucky to break an 8.0 E-score under the current Code.

[@johannas5622]

Isn't there a limit of deductions for a skill competed without a fall? I thought it was like 0.8. I could easily be wrong though.

[@colesmith7509]

@@johannas5622 The rule is the landing deduction specifically can't be more than 0.8 if they don't fall. Other deductions like flexed feet or separated legs can be added on

[@colesmith7509]

@@Lana2k6 I get that but they were especially with her. Shawn had bent arms but that was basically it and she had lower E scores consistently

[@trodairebeag]

You also have to remember the judges site on the SIDE. They prob'ly don't see the leg separation on her dismount

[@suedinkfeld2793]

Dear KZbin, the subtitles are very poor quality transcribed.

[@anovemberstar]

I wish someone would go thru all these old comps and delete all images, and every mention if the Karoyli's. I don't even live in the US and I want to erase them from my mind for all the damage they did to this sport

[@adam4019]

Disagree. Good or bad - they were a major influence on the outcomes during their years. Society learns little from erasing things - we need to acknowledge and grow. And we cannot acknowledge if we just delete it.

[@scottw6704]

That would make very, very short videos as they were the ones responsible for gymnastics' rising popularity in the US. - they hit the ground running here in 1982. Mary Lou Retton was quoted as saying they (they gymnasts) always knew the Karolyis were incredibly tough on their girls in Romania BUT...they always won. That being said, without the Nassar incident I would guess they'd still be running things in the US today.

[@davedavey-y8e]

It's bs blaming them... Where were the parents, coaches was no one taking care of those girls or they expected head of USA wag to not only train and develop elite gymnasts but also build their self worth, get them through puberty, make sure they aren't ignorant and not be clueless if they get fingered 😂

[@Greatgownsbeautifulgownss]
