2014 World Gymnastics Championships - Men's Team, Men's & Women's AA (NBC)

[@CodySDivineCreators]

I would love to see NBC have covered the event finals. I *NEED* to hear Tim and Nastia's reaction to Mustafina winning bronze on floor and Hong Un Jong winning gold on vault.

[@Lana2k6]

Cody S. Or how she managed to win a bronze on beam despite losing 0.5 for not completing an acro series (she was supposed to do two aerial walkovers, but turned the second one into a front walkover, which is only an A skill and does not fulfill the requirement).

[@kameroncoleman9293]

Cody S. But did you hear Al say "Nah-ning" LOL! ITS NANNING AL!

[@CodySDivineCreators]

The Chinese actually pronounce it "nah-ning" so he wan't wrong technically. Lol

[@kameroncoleman9293]

Cody S. lol

[@KseniaSemenovaFan]

Lana2k6 well on beam Mustafina was very lucky, that all the others had much bigger mistakes. The beam final wasn´t great, only Biles and Yawen were good that day. (and I think maybe if Yawen would not have been the 1st to go she might have beaten Biles) Maybe at this day they should not award a bronze, because non of the rest was medal worthy XD

[@beccameri8152]

my favorite three commentators all together :)

[@Aizhaqueeni]

I'm okay with the guys, they crack me up. I mean Tim, he's been with us forever and I love him. It's Nastia who could climb into a toilet and flush herself for all I givva. I prefer either Elfie or Shannon Miller for the female commentator. Watching Shannon and the team take first ever team gold in 1996 was absolutely AMAZING! :oD

[@ethankrupp1775]

+AJ McCane we need Nastia to adapt tho

[@thelilredhead7005]

Watch 1:41:17 during the award ceremony. You won't "bee" disappointed.

[@zacefronsboo2]

I love how the US won the Bronze and are still grateful for it...we got a medal..thats what mattered..for Japan they look super pissed. I think when you come in second you can be a bit pissed because you were almost at first be thats better than nothing..couldve been the UK

[@jeanneevans9299]

Ashanti Edwards I was totally thinking the same thing. I liked how the American's were happy with the bronze. :) I have heard there is a huge rival thing going between Japan and China, so I guess that was why Japan seemed mad. I think it would be far worse to be 4th though, because you barely miss getting a metal.

[@MsPiepanda]

+Ashanti Edwards Like the last person said it's because they have lost behind China so many times. People believe that this year. It was difficult for them to accept it because they were so close. But hey they won in Glasgow and their faces were priceless

[@kittiedawson34]

+Jeanne Evans he rivalry between japan and china goes waaaaaay back before gymnastics they hate each other. research the Rape of Nanking and that will tell you the history these two countries have with eachother

[@Aizhaqueeni]

I'm so looking that up now bc I was wondering about that comment made too -- thanks! :o)

[@giozayas2781]

i think they were mad because they were robbed of the gold medal.

[@TRUNGNGUYEN-bz9th]

Way to go, Team USA Men takes their bronze and Women takes their gold. 🥉🇺🇸🥇🇺🇸

[@jessicarobinson3061]

really hope Larissa medals in the AA in Rio

[@Andrew-mj2oi]

Sadly she won't be there

[@chuuu4610]

The little gymnast comment they made about Shang Chunsong bothered me. She's actually even even smaller than her teammates because she suffered from malnutrition.

[@katertot4643]

I have to agree, it'd be so nice to see the Chinese team put on some weight so they could really compete on vault and floor. Yao was looking physically well but the whole team needs some muscle.

[@trinitystar96]

I don't know about all of them but Shang's family are very poor so she grew up malnourished and now cannot easily put on weight

[@Aizhaqueeni]

Her family can't afford to feed her? Really?? If she's competing for her country, I'm sure they can swing more than a bowl of rice for her every now and again, I mean really.

[@trinitystar96]

AJ McCane no, when she was younger. if you are malnourished when you are very young- it can affect your body shape and health as you grow older. look up any story about her and you can see that it is true.

[@extra_ice_girl]

I wish China would supply leotards to their gymnasts that actually fit so they wouldn't look so malnourished.

[@arathgomez615]

iamkarenh But they are malnourished? What good would it do to hide the fact that they don't get enough food.

[@CourtneyK87]

Please upload the NBC replay of the Rio Olympics.

[@jennhayes4693]

They can't. They don't have the rights to the footage.

[@sarahbeard6344]

Does Tim Dagget really feel the need to say 'Gymnastics 101' every single time someone sticks a landing? Like, really?

[@lkfredd]

do u prefer exclamation point? lol

[@Andrew-mj2oi]

+lkfredd i prefer another commentator..😂

[@thecatspajamas8918]

Because maybe you didn’t hear it the first 10,000 times.

[@AllieAllieOxenFree21]

Man if I have to hear about the Bhavsar, named after American gymnast Raj Bhavsar, one more time...

[@thecatspajamas8918]

I have to believe that the commentators are told to talk as if everyone watching is new to the sport. New to the rules, new to hearing their banter. That’s the only way I can tolerate listening to Tim and Al repeat the same lame comments over and over again.

[@russiangymfan]

Tim Dagett is so biased! Chenglong's high bar score is well deserved with no any major form breaks and he has the highest start value! Tim loves to use magnify glass to point out every tiny imperfection in Chinese routines, typical double standard comment.

[@kaylajones4356]

You're just figuring that out now? Tim has been a biased freak since he started commetating.

[@harrietaliceburke]

Kae Kae Jones I get that you dont like nbc commentary... they cant be everybody's cup of tea. .. but its a true sign of immaturity and not to mention annoying to scroll through the cooments on the vast majority of their videos and see a feed largely monopolized by rude and pointless comments and accusations of the commentators from you.... there is bbc commentary and if your bilingual chinnese :)

[@SonOfAGun1814]

what's with the different video feed for jake dalton's floor? nbc?

[@YahushaDollie]

Tim is so obsessed with MaKayla its annoying.

[@CodySDivineCreators]

Did NBC cover the women's event finals?

[@kaylajones4356]

I dont think so, thank goodness.

[@tekkenfan01]

Kae Kae Jones are you still whining about NBC?

[@harrietaliceburke]

Kae Kae Jones why do you even bother with their coverage if you despise it so much? There is british and Chinese coverage as an alternative

[@CourtneyK87]

Isn't it crazy how amazing and dominant the US women are, but the US men are not very good at all?

[@kyleighpatrick9969]

Courtney Kolenda that's not true the men's team is good

[@littlebachmonster]

I love the commentators, but the stuff they said about Shang Chunsong, intentional or not, was racist. Pointing out that she's small and saying she's unimpressive; that is the most ridiculous. RO + 1.5 (C) + 3.0 (E) + Punch (A) + 0.4 C.V. is worth just as much as Aly's first pass, which they obsessed over, rightfully so. To put it more in perspective, the hardest pass Kyla Ross does is a Double Arabian (E) + Stag Leap, which can't compare. It seems they are not giving credit where credit is due out of racism

[@jeanneevans9299]

I thought the commentators were extremely lame too. Not only what you mentioned, but in the men's as well they kept commenting on how the Japenese are so much better on the high bars then the Chinese. And they were acting all upset when the Chinese got the gold, because Japan is SO much better then the Chinese. (or so they thought) Both are good and China did good enough to get gold. And I've noticed in others where these same commentators will totally go off on how the Chinese aren't very great at the floor routine. And then they'll obsess over some of the others, yeah it's lame is all I have to say.

[@rindaann6850]

Joshua Paik How is it racism? They did not say anything derogatory. They simply expressed their opinion, which if you don't know, in the US it is allowed. I do not find that it was racism. They were simply talking gymnastics. They did not think of the actual scores when they said that, so bringing up her score and bringing up Aly Raisman was unjustified. They were not racist in any way, and for you to say that is semi-rude.

[@monicaovalle172]

I agree with the commentators

[@catriona5268]

+Joshua Paik Well, she is small...she's tiny! She's only 1.4m and 35kg! And it's noticeable, especially on vault, that the smaller size really does reduce power. Some of the Chinese girls were really struggling to get their passes on floor around as well. Lovely form, but not so much power. The Chinese are generally more petite than Westerners, and gymnastics makes you small and compact, too, so their gymnasts can be particularly little. That's not racist, it's a fact.

[@isabellaposkrobko]

Thats not being racist😂😂

[@Lululemonlover98]

When will the october camp videos be up?

[@liwang6696]

For the record, it's southwestern China.

[@rvank8037]

I feel like NBC did a poor job of explaining why Max Whitlock was in the AA. Al kept saying over and over how Max "failed to qualify into the top 24", when he actually qualified 14th. Obviously, Keatings and Wilson qualified ahead, so he wasn't originally supposed to be in the AA, but that wasn't explained very well.

[@thelilredhead7005]

Poor Aliya, ever since that injury in (2010 or 11?) she has not been able to do gymnastics as well. ugh so sad.

[@NathalyM25]

Wow como hacen eso los hombres pienso que está más difícil el de ellos que el de nosotras!!!!!!!!!!!

[@cameronmclaughlin3478]

Listen, I highly prefer Japan over China but Tim needs to get over it

[@011cra]

I don't get what's NBC's fluff is with Kayla Ross. She had no place in this all around, she just got EXTREMELY lucky! Comparing her to Shang Chunsong like If Kayla was unquestionably better on BB and FX. Uhh Newsflassh Chungsong is better than Kayla on both Floor and Beam (scored higher than her on both events) so idk what this MORON is comparing between them too. This international field is just said! there is something wrong with all of their couches is they fail to produce consistent gymnast. The only reason USA has been so dominant is because Everyone else ALWAYS misses. This AA was the perfect example.

[@CBBtheLakota]

Everyone else always misses because USA forces everybody to up their difficulty.

[@011cra]

CBBtheLakota True but they're not biting more than they can chew. For example, Mustafina fell on the double arabian. That's NOT a difficult skill for mustafina who has been competing this skill since before she emerged to elite gymnastics; she gets great height on it a clear indication that she can preform it. BUT she is inconsistence which is where the Americans get everyone.

[@kaylajones4356]

Its Kyla.

[@gymbot461]

011cra Ross obviously had a place in this AA. A fall is a fall and can't be blamed alone on luck. In fact, luck has little to do with it - there is risk in every skill, but that risk is reduced by preparation and conditioning, which Ross has in abundance. It helped her hit 13 for 13 events while in Nanning. Mustafina had severe ankle problems all last year which affected her preparation before worlds. On the commentary, you are missing the point. NBC is an American broadcasting company - all broadcasters praise their own gymnasts more than others. Al points out that Shang Chunsong is tiny and they discuss her size in comparison to Ross - not their intrinsic gymnastic abilities. Dagget actually says that while Shang is very good, her size is a disadvantage for her in some respects - most evident on vault.

[@jeanneevans9299]

What a lame comment. Everyone has a fall at some point or a bad routine. Simone whose suppose to be the best doesn't do the uneven bars perfect or the beam. Must mean she shouldn't be in either, yeah Kyla is a great one too. You talk like your jealous or something that your not good like her or something. Fact of the matter is it's not luck, these girls are great because they train to be good.

[@kylard4335]

Why don't we see the start value or difficulty value anymore??????? BECAUSE ITS IN CHINA???? And as we all learned in the 2008 games they cheat? This is my guess at least.

[@SarahSchneider2]

Gymnastics

[@trevorwolf6264]

Is it just me or does Aliya look very tired and not her best at all at these worlds.

[@larashainalee6447]

Why is the girl wearing socks?

[@enemigaaa_]

Lara Shaina Lee it helps with their pirouettes, or the spinning, they do on the floor routines.

[@george39821]

I only watch this.. because i want to listen to the HORRIBLE commentary of tim daggett. he is so biased towards the japanese because his couch was from japan, i think NBC should have fired his ass a long time ago!! My ideal commentators would be Shannon Miller, Bart conner, and maybe nastia too (she has come a long way since 2013)

[@deenibeeni3938]

+george39821 I love Tim Daggett.

[@tekkenfan01]

+george39821 shutup already

[@chuayeeleng3890]

USA Gymnastics is the best

[@funfun9996]

THANK GOD for youtube, im able to watch OTHER coverage, NBC coverage is always the WORST! HATE THE COMMENTARY AND COVERAGE.

[@Aizhaqueeni]

Is it just me, or do Chinese gymnasts and teams "always perform so well" in their own country?? But when the competition is elsewhere, they end up elsewhere too. lol There were some obvious mistakes on both sides that were both overlooked, men and women's. And again, you couldn't pay me to believe their female gymnasts are of age. They're closer to like 10 -- MAYbe.

[@Aizhaqueeni]

Good God Nastia Liukin's milked the f*ck out of her medals and participation in competitions hasn't she!? For the record, Shannon Miller was FIRST w/ that record and I don't remember her milking the sh*t out of it. It's always foreigners who do that to this country/people, isn't it??

[@SonOfAGun1814]

BRING BACK ELFIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@extra_ice_girl]

No way!

[@kaylajones4356]

I will sue NBC if they bring back that horrid commentator.

[@SonOfAGun1814]

Kae Kae Jones based on what sweety?

[@jeanneevans9299]

snofagun1814 These were bad enough, don't bring anymore who are bad or in fact worse.

[@rindaann6850]

snofagun1814 Why???
