2018 Worlds WAG TF

[@mariorosonsamson5624]

Thanks for posting this ! I haven’t been able to find a full broadcast so this is great !

[@funkym0nks519]

The camera work here was..... a choice..

[@elinat2414]

You know camera work is bad when you notice the camera work 😂😂😂

[@a_2502]

That very first one with Grace's vault, I literally gasped... what the heck was that lol

[@virginiathomas362]

I saw this comment before watching and thought "oh, it can't be that bad." I was wrong. I was so very wrong

[@tennislover5900]

I physically felt nauseous watching Grace’s vault in slow-mo, no joke

[@nathan10120]

Agreed 1 million percent.

[@tatilalima2874]

Aliya mustafina mesmo depois de tantos anos e duas olimpíadas nas costas, entregou tudo. Rainha mesmo. Muito consistente e profissional, dedicada ❤❤❤❤

[@saragrant9749]

And after having a BABY to boot! Legend indeed.

[@flippnjoshyt1935]

I would love it for the Japanese team to win a medal they are so clean with their lines

[@carliecole2563]

And they're so polished and so SWEET and cute to watch!!! I think I have a lady crush on Asuka T. (Spelling??) I think she's just gorgeous!!!!

[@chrissyjoy08]

it's hard because they just don't have the difficulty. I wish they would medal, though, that would be amazing.

[@dawnbaswell1853]

The current team is not though

[@gentle.unicorn]

camera work reminiscent of an early 2000s skate shop 😂

[@lizmiller7681]

These ~swinging~ camera angles are just the pits.

[@fishtail1129]

Watching this now, does anyone else notice how often they go to shots of Maggie Haney? They show her so much and not just when Riley is performing. Weird. They also showed her in the crowd a lot during the AA final, which makes zero sense as Riley was not competing.

[@mayarose3217]

My guess is bc she was a gym celeb after she was all over tv with Laurie in rio

[@penguinboba9773]

it is quite odd in my opinion, it also is disgusting to see her shown so much after everything came out about her abuse

[@mjamitche5245]

I think they liked her fake lips and eyelashes. They thought she looked glamorous even though it's obviously all fake and there's very little there if you strip off the make-up. The other female coaches have been less glamorous.

[@yokiyoka9823]

Yay!! Have been looking for the 2018 WAG TF for ages!! Thank you 😊😊

[@mrosehall13]

Thanks for posting! I’ve been looking for this for so long! Could you please re-post the 2019 WAG US championships??

[@carson0201]

I noticed at the beginning that they were showing clips of the US girls competing during what was probably qualifying, but the commentators didn't mention that. They just said the words "competition" and "day one", so for people who were confused or wondering, it was most likely clips from qualification.

[@otherworld11]

I do like the interaction between the teams now - so interesting that the Russian and American girls were being chummy with each other.

[@mjamitche5245]

Tim implied it was because Marta was no longer the head coach.

[@saragrant9749]

Marta never permitted that kind of camaraderie between the USA girls and other teams was why. Now that the wicked witch is gone they can actually be human beings again.

[@marshajulessa2995]

It's disconcerting to see so many falls on the BB from the Chinese Team.

[@saragrant9749]

Inconsistency has unfortunately become their hallmark in team competition now.

[@Happy_ellen]

Thank youuuu! I was looking for this for so long

[@kharris2393]

Ellie Black gets SO MUCH air on the UB dismount. Feels like she could do a harder one? It's very cool-looking, though.

[@michaelsnook1684]

these moving camera angles are horrible

[@lizmiller7681]

Literally made me dizzy

[@kfed2580]

Is the camera man drunk? Because these angles and zoom ins are making me feel like I am.

[@Gymnastics-me8hu]

YES THANK YOUUU!!!!!

[@lobaznyuk5094]

Ofc🥰

[@TRUNGNGUYEN-bz9th]

Oh yeah 😅☺️😃.

[@francisnguyen6349]

Your welcome, Caden A. And Happy New Year.

[@mariahazcueta3621]

Maggie Haney looks like Maleficent

[@mjamitche5245]

She always did, to be honest.

[@anovemberstar]

i love morgan hurd. i really really hope she makes the Olympic team and does super well at the Olympics. i have 3 wishes for the Olympics, in order: 1) they are held next year and athletes are safe from covid; 2) simone competes there, 3) morgan competes and does well

[@SchocoMacGirl]

Morgan is actually the only US gymnast that I don't like at the moment. I can't warm with her demeanor and she is so aggressive all the time and her performances have something of a child.

[@mariahazcueta3621]

She’ll probably be an alternate

[@lizmiller7681]

@@SchocoMacGirl - I agree, she acts very immaturely, silly.

[@enricos.4993]

man this didn't age well

[@saragrant9749]

@@lizmiller7681she was a happy girl- that bothers you then I’d say it’s a poor reflection on you as a person and not her.

[@chrissyjoy08]

Wow! At the very end, before Simone went on floor USA already had a score of 156.863 so far, and Russia was already finished with a score of 162.863. All the USA needed from Simone to beat Russia was a mere 6.001. That's how far ahead the US was!!! Of course, Simone earned much higher than that - a 14.766, and when all was said and done, the USA beat Russia by 8.766 points!!

[@maia9056]

It’s crazy how quickly that changed with Russia winning Olympic gold at the Olympics.

[@Bxyxox]

@@maia9056not that quickly, the states also beat them every year since 2014 and the following 2019 champs too.

[@darkmatter5940]

I feel sorry for Brazil, that bronze medal was theirs

FIG's new scoring system SUCKS

Can you please upload the 2012 wag qualifications nbc please and the team final

[@laurenbrown7403]

They never showed Riley's bar routine!

[@EmilyS1234]

Brazil could’ve won the bronze, if they just played their A game on bars.

[@feliciacarter1962]

Great job ladies on the win for USA.

[@stereotypea123]

I wish they would take a full point off whenever someone falls out of their turns.

[@TwistedApple]

maybe -0.5 or even the old -0.8, but a whole point falling out of a C spin is just dumb

[@--julian_]

wtf was the cameraman drunk?

[@chrissyjoy08]

I know that at 1:04:50 that is Zhang Jin of China on the floor... but which other gymnast(s) have used that floor music before?? It sounds so familiar but I can't recall who used it and when!!

[@lot2e]

Katelyn Ohashi circa 2013!

[@kateskate6960]

I don't know if it's because I haven't slept in 2 days due to watching the election results, but Melanie De Jesus Dos Santo's hands look ginormous! I never noticed that before. Is it sleep deprivation, or are they really, really long?

[@marthagump776]

I've noticed, to me all or most of the gymnists have long hands and feet👐🤸‍♀️👣👀

[@isabelledavis2981]

I can’t wait to see Simone biles and other USA women team and other USA 🇺🇸 men team at gymnastics 🤸‍♀️ events in Paris France 🇫🇷 2024 and 2028

[@beambreaker]

I MISS TIM AND NASTIA SO MUCH!!!!!!

[@carliecole2563]

Ok I honestly DONT know a lot about this sport so maybe someone can answer this for me & help me out.... Looking at the list of past winners (~1:21:30) I see they don't hold world championships during Olympic years& I get that- cuz the OLYMPICS themselves ARE essentially the world championships (&then some!!!) But- How come they don't hold World Championship the year FOLLOWING the Olympic year, either??? (Exp. Nothing in 2005 following Athens in 2004, 2009 following Beijing in 2008, 2013 after London 2012, aaaannd then nada in 2017 after Rio 2016....) ??? I don't understand??? Am I missing something?! Help puhhh-lease & thank you!!!

[@magenstempin3456]

There's no team final at the Worlds in the year after the Olympics, it's just an individual competition

[@ethanvaneck2971]

Theres only individual finals not team

[@trodairebeag]

That's cuz there's no world chpionships in the year of the Olympics. It's just the Olympics

[@Chels-fz5uq]

There were world championships….just not a team competition.

[@Katigirl23]

They only do individual all around and event finals for Worlds the year after the Olympics.

[@e2theeyepie]

Is it just me, or do China's coaches have an affinity for blocking their gymnasts from a clear camera shot on UB?

[@Rawrmuffin0]

One thing I appreciate about Tim is he will always call out FIG for their rules changes and how strict they are. So many athletes this year deducted so harsh it’s insane

[@TwistedApple]

lmfao because the older gymnasts (nastia) aren’t able to get away with scores of 17+ and E scores of 9.8 anymore? FIG being strict with deductions is a good direction for the sport

[@Jamiepyt7]

Ummm, did Regan Smith do anything at all during this championship? I see her dressed out but I haven't seen her do anything on any event...

[@Bxyxox]

She was the travelling alternate

[@Elitegymnasticsfan26]

Sad they didn’t show Riley once

[@allie3760]

NBC commentary is unbearable, I have to mute it.

[@lexiw20]

all they do is compare everyone to simone. it's annoying af

[@liliana161922]

Me too

[@isabelledavis2981]

I can’t wait to see team USA 🇺🇸 and other teams at the synchronized swimming and swimming and gymnastics events at the 2024 summer Olympics Games in Paris France 🇫🇷

[@taylorburtis]

FIG can’t even spell Aliya’s name right. God that pisses me off

[@brodypenn]

They didn’t technically spell it wrong. There’s a problem spelling names in English when the language, Russian for example, doesn’t use English characters, they have their own characters. So when trying to spell Aliya in English from Russian could be pronounced as Aliia. And NBC doesn’t spell that stuff. All the channels do it. For example at 2015 worlds they spelled Kesenia as Keseniia and Victoria as Victoriia. I think I put the double i in the wrong spot though.

[@silverleopardcat]

​@@brodypenn the double i is correct - Victoria becomes Viktoriia when transliterated directly. It's because of the letter я, which sounds like "ya," but the transliteration into English........varies. Россия is obviously Russia, but translated directly it becomes Russiya/Russiia. Victoria should be Viktoria, but often comes out as Viktoriia or Viktoriya, and all of them are technically correct. The problem is that Aliya (a Tatar/Turkish/Arabic name) can become Aliia, which is unquestionably wrong because Turkish uses the Latin alphabet and writes the name as Aliye. (Ignore the e; Turkish takes a lot of Arabic and Hebrew names and replaces the a's with e's.) That was long. Languages are interesting.

[@6ghbybuhjbj]

Olympic channel should make a legends live of simone biles

Oh no.

[@brianpatterson1827]

Yes Biles is superhuman lol but Grace McCallum is just superhuman as well. Only 16 here and at such a high level after a very serious injury not long ago. I used to be hard on her not to be mean I just thought that Riley McCusker could just take her spot being a bit better. But I'm blown away by her. Even more so after learning in depth about McCallums major injury. I'm surprised she's still even competing at all. And then at this level. Just wow.

[@ezehrichard4200]

Pls u should stop this rubbish of talking about Simone and American there are other beautiful country and amazing gymnast, American are just claws

[@carliecole2563]

...Jade barbosa from Brazil is just super humanly GORGEOUS. if this whole gymnastics thing doesn't quite work out for her... Modeling maybe? And my girlfriend?!?!

[@nathanielhalls1893]

brad Simms - the correct pronunciation is “cutter” Don’t you ever watch the news?

[@mayarose3217]

I always got the vibe Tim does not like Nastia. He is always contradicting her, plus during her gymnastics days it seemed like his commentary was always skewed towards Shawn.

[@mjamitche5245]

But, he absolutely loves the fact that her dad was her coach!

[@CC-rm9uq]

Shawn is sooo good tho

[@HB-ey2dk]

Ya I caught the subtle shade calling Aliya the best in the world on bars when Nastia was one of the best in the world too lol.

[@josephqualtier961]

@@HB-ey2dk it wasn’t shade it’s just true, I think nastia would probably agree

[@bryanfuerst3277]

Ehhh I don’t know if he was skewed towards Shawn, but he definitely complimented her more than Elfi. Elfi was Nastia’s biggest champion and publicly said Nastia’s routines should score higher than Shawn’s lol. Tim to me defended Shawn but always had nothing but praise for Nastia! But I agree, I feel like those two are very very different

[@hollihebert2577]

Kim bui’s choreography for floor is a joke. It’s absolutely hilarious 💀💀

on 10/20/2023 Kara Eaker was forced to retire because of abuse at the hands of Tom Farden head coach of Utah Gymnastics. The abuse have left her broken to the point of suicide and self harm ideation. She is just one of many victims but the only Kara Eaker, world champion and olympic alternate but destroyed by a NCAA college program. Please share and repost.

Tim really makes a big deal about Aliya being a mom and still doing gymnastics. Being a parent is not every womans end goal in life lol.

[@carys7417]

I think he’s pointing out that it’s rare in elite gymnastics. Your body changes during pregnancy so it’s not normally possible to go back to competing on the world stage

[@lizmiller7681]

He’s not putting her down for it. If anything, he’s being supportive of her for coming back.

[@trodairebeag]

It's extremely taste I'm we women's elite gymnastics. The only other one I can think of is Oksana Chusovitina

[@HB-ey2dk]

Tbh it's probably because our bodies change so much after giving birth. Some women's abdominal muscles literally split in half, so her coming back so strong is really a big deal.

[@carliecole2563]

I wonder if gymnastics was like... Like horse racing, for example, I wonder what the richest billionaires of the other countries around the world would offer to buy her... Racehorses without HALF the dominance as Simone have sold for $50million bucks (granted this is because they are stallions too who even if they retire from racing at 4 or 5yrs old can continue reproducing at stud fees of a million bucks a pop well into their 20s so they will likely make even MORE BANK reproducing- but if we forget THAT little element & just focus on performances, lol) what would they offer to buy themselves a Simone?! $100,000,000?! $500,000,000?! A $$$ billion!? (I'm leaning towards a billion... Especially if they thought they could breed her, like a racehorse, lmfao)
