2018 U.S. Gymnastics Championships - Men - Day 1 - NBCSN Broadcast

[@judit82]

I wish more Men's gymnastics were shown on TV. Happy to be able to watch it here!

[@tanyadixon7980]

Agreed!

[@legalfictionnaturalfact3969]

it's just not something people are interested in watching, and men just need to accept that. (that's what they tell women about wnba, anyway!!)

[@chaiboix]

@@legalfictionnaturalfact3969 shut up.

[@Lidia_Es]

I agree

[@TheExgymnast]

I used to enjoy watching men's gymnastics. Look at the crowd. The LACK OF CROWD. I don't want to watch this sport die anymore.

[@adude8739]

BellyWasher There is still a long crowd training for this sport I have a feeling this sport is going to come back

[@legalfictionnaturalfact3969]

women are so much better at gymnastics. men get plenty of glory in sports, but this one's ours. as are acrobatics and dance. :) :)

[@lukebarnhart3702]

Legal Fiction Natural Fact Men’s and women’s gymnastics can not be compared because they don’t do nearly the same things as each other. Woman can not do an iron cross on the rings, but men cannot do beam. So they cannot be compared.

[@siri519]

I definitely wont die. The lesser the participants, lesser is the competition. And more chance to win.

[@trinibwoy27]

The most frustrating thing about the US Men's team the last few years is that they are soo great in Qualifications but then fall apart during team finals. They need to work on their consistency like the US Women

[@MrCamjay10187]

This isn't an excuse and consistency does need to improve in mens gymnastics generally world wide BUT, women do four apparatus with a maximum of 8 counting skills, which = 8+8+8+1 (vault) = 25, whereas men do 6 apparatus with 10 counting skills = 10+10+10+1 (vault)+10+10 = 51. Therefore they are much more likely to fall in a competition then their female counterparts. Just some food for thought...

[@mjamitche5245]

MrCamjay10187 You're point would make sense if you didn't factor in that there are men's teams from other countries who win and win consistently without falls.

[@mjamitche5245]

trinibwoy27 I agree with you. I can never understand the men's selection of their worlds and olympic teams. Their teams never make sense given the competitions where they are selected and the ones leading up to them. I can never figure out their strategy. I'm out of the loop on what's going on with MAG at USAG, but after the last olympic trials, I remember thinking they needed to fire their selection committee.

[@MrCamjay10187]

however it does make sense because all i said was that it is much more likely for a male gymnast to fall in a competition as they are doing twice the amount of skills... also i'd just like to say that the large majority of these athletes are pouring their heart and soul into this sport with dreams of being as successful as the US womens program, but unfortunately just 'trying' to be more consistent isn't as simple as gym fans like yourself might believe it to be

[@tekkenfan01]

USA will get a Olympic team medal again, it's the laws of chance and probability, even more so than consistency, they can't keep losing after qualifying so well every time, we know USA men ranked high with the rest of the world, this squad is looking pretty good, we'll know more later this year at worlds

[@cheerleaduhhlove6697]

Thank you for posting so fast. I hope the women's will be up as fast. So excited for the 2018 season. Go USA

[@brianpatterson1827]

Unbelievable 2.5 twist to a double front. Just amazing Mikulak. I give him so much credit more than any gymnasts very. Especially after a devastating Achilles tear in the Winter Cup 2017 and already he's tumbling like that. Just friggin amazing.

I don't care how many damn deduction donathan bailey had on PH that was one of the most amazing things..that he could even stay on cuz he was using so much strength to not fall off

[@brianpatterson1827]

Alec Yoder definitely has astonished me since he was really young and I thought he was so great on pommel 1st off. But all around. Just a clean international look to his gymnastics. And now with world cup experience with event finals in Doha this year on pommel horse and high bar.ook at that 15.150 awesome. World class score.

[@CharadeTV]

I understand why Blaine hates Tim so much. He is so freaking negative during commentary. I get that you have to inform the viewers. But damn, He doesn't even give them much credit for pulling through a routine when a lesser athlete would have fallen.

[@wrightanabelle]

I hope Akash Modi, Alex Naddour, Sam Mikulak, and William Ernard make it to the Tokyo 2020 Olympics :)

[@undefinedfreedom8580]

Sam is such a handsome guy.

[@haileeoconnor1605]

He is

[@mcwyman7928]

Geez, if this is the best the U.S. men have got, I don't see a lot of international success in their future. Hopefully they can turn it around in day 2 because this was pretty underwhelming.

[@SandyKH]

Thanks for posting. Great to see the new up-and-commers... and welcome back, Sam!

[@alex3114]

I see these guys every week at CTC because I train there.

[@mamazeeable]

I watched the European championships last week and I don't know what time commentators are talking about, most of these routines aren't on the same level. They're are not competing at the same level at all. They need to step it up.

[@brianpatterson1827]

ItsM Alex Yoders pommel horse routine was as Tim said world class. No doubt. Yoder could definitely fight the European men on pommel horse for a medal. Maybe he would struggle to get into the medals. But could without a doubt get into pommel horse finals in the world championships. He's pretty solid on high bar as well. Hes just clean. And Yul Muldauer. Sam Mikulak. Donnell Whittenburg, Allan Bower, Kanji Oyama...I can't believe Alex Naddour is being investigated for sexual misconduct. He's just so calm and collected and just seems in love with the sport. I also don't get how USA gymnastics can even be a member of the investigation into this alleged misconduct when they themselves in the past allowed a monster to work on all the little girls. They should have no right. If Naddour is cleared. Then they have another world class I mean really world class pommel horse worker in their team and that's the event USA has struggled in for many years when it comes to generated great scores. Maybe USA wouldn't beat the likes of Russia. But that's about it in Europe as a team. Although the junior gymnasts I'm all countries I saw at the Europeans are gonna be an OUTSTANDING GROUP OF SENIORS!! ALL SHOULD B E SCARED. But remember China and Japan were not at the Europeans either and THOSE 2 countries could crush everyone.

[@brianpatterson1827]

Also the Oklahoma team, Iowa State, Ohio State, Illinois and Michigan University College gymnasts are Quite impressive. And one or 2 of them could fit the bill to be on the World Team including Yoder and Muldauer. There are others I could name that are also great on events. So I don't think USA is not in the mix. They just need some time and figuring out the new IT crew for worlds and Olympic teams

[@donaldaldred1249]

The thing about US mens gymnastics is the always have ONE star. The US is not super competitive without that star. The womens program is still competitive without Biles, she just makes them stronger. They will never have another moment like 1984 if they continue to focus on one guy

[@brianpatterson1827]

I'd love Trevor Howard to become part of the top members of the U.S. team heading into Tokyo

[@fountainofdesire625]

Andrea: "Allan, what is it about the national championships that brings out the best in you." The same could be asked about Sam. They're the only reason he even makes it to the Olympics. The fact that he peaks at local meets is his true Achilles heel. Take those away, and he has nothing. Even with a bad back, Yul is more impressive to watch than him.

Sharon Blackwood ikr? So rude to say “the others” like they don’t matter

Trevor Howard is also starting to get better as he gets older. More intense training on execution and controlling his power. He could def be in the world team with Yoder, Muldauer, Mikulak and or Modi.

[@randomvintagefilm273]

Woman of culture has arrived...

[@vanillamarshmallow]

sorry if this is a dumb question, but I cant figure out for the life of me. Why do a lot of men represent colleges, but you never see any college women at these elite meets? Is it because of age (I notice the elite women are usually in their teens with a few exceptions, and these men seem to be in their early 20s), or are NCAA women not allowed to compete elite as well?

[@joyfuljaj]

your age answer is correct. most women peak younger. There are girls who compete elite in college but the training is not the same (I wonder how they do it) as college skills are not the same as elite.

[@MD-722]

It's not so much age of peak, but more so age-eligibility for senior competition. Senior competition for women is 16+ (or 15 given that you are in your 16th year of age) whereas for men it is 18+ (or 17, as before), so where most women would have had at least two-three years of senior elite competition in high-school, a man wouldn't be elgible until his final year.

[@victormc6451]

Nastia no habló casi nada 😥

[@balletstars17]

Why do male gymnast represent universities/colleges while women don't?

[@biddysews7548]

they do just most women don't do elite and ncaa at the same time (although many still do) whereas most of the men do ncaa and elite at the same time, also a lot of the women go into elite at like 15/16 while they're still in high school whereas most male athletes start to compete later (at like university/college age), as a result a lot of women wait until they retire from elite to do ncaa

[@trinibwoy27]

Marz Frazier is representing UCLA this year

[@trinibwoy27]

Also Most women competing are younger like 16, 17, 18 whereas a lot of the men are older in their early 20s

[@MD-722]

It's not so much because of peaking ages, it's because men aren't elligible for senior competition until they are 18 as oppose to women, who are at 16.

[@LoyaFrostwind]

As MD-722, mentioned, the women peak earlier. This is due to biological reasons (females hit puberty earlier than men). However the min age is 16 (labor law limits?). The women would compete even younger if they could (like Nadia Comaneci, before they changed the rules), and China was penalized for having underage gymnasts on the team. The men hit their puberty and peak later, and also have a longer competitive shelf-life. Some men like Jordan Jovtchev (Bulgaria) compete well into their 30s. The only woman still competing at the elite level is Oksana Chusovitina(43 years old), but she's a wonder! :)

[@Bronze349]

Am I the only one who notices they all have that same squeally voice?

[@eldev4432]

Ok, so i am not expert but old enough to have seen many gymnastics competition. Why is it that most US gymnasts athletes wear hand grips compared to other nations particularly their Eastern European counterparts?

[@brianpatterson1827]

Sam has to stop worrying about what he hasn't won and what he has done and just live in the moment

[@fountainofdesire625]

He hasn't done well internationally, though. If he's gonna challenge competitors like King Kohei, he's gonna have to rise to the occasion. He can't keep relying on mistakes by others to come away with a title.

[@grass3919]

lol what undefined freedom said

[@brianpatterson1827]

I think Akash Modi after his Pommel Horse routine when he was talking to someone either off camera or the guy sitting Down. I swear he pointed down with his hands to his crotch area....probably cuz he saw the slow motion of his PH routine....which was super up close and personal. I mean hard not to be as gymnastics is about looking at gymnasts bodies but they literally like may as well have zoomed in even more on his dick area lmao. Like you could see it moving a little as he circles in that slowmo lmao. I think he was saying like did they have to focus from that direction and like so close to my crotch area lmao..
