I love how when on beam Tim is saying that "Aly has nerves, she's isnt sturdy", Shawn's like "Calm down, it's the first meet back. Everyone's nervy."

[@kaytg89]

Ugh its like Tim Dagget is trying to get Shawn to say something negative about her...but Shawn is actually professional unlike him and doesn't exaggerate and blow everything out of proportion.

[@A2daM2daZ]

I love how Tim is trying to get some spectacular commentary out of Shawn but all she can say is how hard competition is and how intimidating Aly is, regardless all the flaws he loves pointing out.

[@mssummergirl97]

tim you get on those uneven bars

[@auspicious93]

Veronica Visner lmao

[@SchuylerCorbin]

Shawn Johnson is such a sweetheart :)

[@destiny236231]

Shawn is one of the first people to openly disagree with those annoying judgemental commentators. Nastia needs to be replaced by Shawn, because Shawn seems so nice and honest.

[@nathaliexlr8]

+Ilise Angel I agree with you on the disagreeing part but Shawn really needs to up her speaking skills a whole lot before anyone's going to think about choosing her as a commentator. And no, I think it should be Tim Shawn replaces because he's the #1 commentator that should be replaced lol

[@trinitystar96]

Nastia is much kinder than the other commentators. Replace Al or Tim not Nastia

[@nathaliexlr8]

Rebekah Ellen Yep. Nastia's great. Al is ok but Tim is a douche.

[@nathaliexlr8]

And I don't see how Nastia isn't nice and honest. She's the best among her, Tim, Al, and Elfi. Elfi was good riddance. Time for Tim to be shown the door.

[@TheNonMakeupGuru]

I disagree, shawn doesnt sit well with being a commentator due to that meek hesitating voice.

[@unicorn-nm3st]

i love how when Aly messed up though, she didn’t drop off the bars and quit, she got right back into the routine and kept going.

[@veronikas.8831]

Aly will be my favourite gymnast until my death.. but litterally every gymnast gets up and keeps going

[@feltonswhore]

Shawn is such a sweetheart! The entire time she was talking I was smiling :)

[@melhudson1703]

wow he is so annoying, i'm so glad Shawn was letting him know what's up lol

[@emmz75]

I think they need to clear the commentator panel...bring in Shawn, Alicia, and Chellsie :)

[@jasmineleopard7593]

tim sits there and dogs on aly but then said "in a lot of ways, she has your qualities shawn" wtf man, i woulda smacked him right there

[@pretzelsfan]

she's grown SO much since 2011, wow!

[@msms68]

wow shes becoming a super star shes one of my favorite gymnasts right now and wow her bar routine really showed her strength and i hope she can perfect all these routines by nationals if she does shes gonna be a star

[@RubyPatino]

Can’t believe she’s been doing the same floor routine since she was 17, that’s some real dedication right there omg

[@kras118]

Shawn reminding everyone this is a qualifying/'warm up' meet..... It's ok if they are not at 100%. Heck, even Marta doesn't expect them to be at Worlds-level at Classics

[@Xenithrawxx]

Aly Raisman is my favorite U.S. gymnast!!!

[@horselovergirl92]

whats even funnier is that he is all great job on the vault when she had a huge step on the landing then he points out the tiny bobble on beam. i wish they had ppl who at least knew what they where talking about ooh they do he just doesnt let them talk

[@michelleeaton6602]

All the while being sexually assaulted regularly by team doctor Larry Nassar. Horrifying. Heartbreaking.

[@lindanavai9778]

I just get nervous when she lands that she might break a leg! It gives me chills them going so fast and the strength they have in their legs is unbelievable!!! Power to them!! Soooo amazing!!

[@fayeslover]

I love how Shawn basically told Tim to stfu

[@vbhunter001]

Its amazing that she won with all the mistakes she made... Imagine how much of a gap there would have been if she hadn't made all the mistakes

[@KatieLHall-fy1hw]

Was she somewhat overscored? Not denying her skills, just wondering, as that happens sometimes.

[@NightPuma]

Shawn is so cute

[@sugarnspicexoxo13]

her beam was gorgeous

[@juicylovexoxo3]

tim is so annoying lol

[@ronaldmajor6624]

Awesome and absolutely amazing lady!

[@torrentXofXdarkness]

That leotard looks like Aliya's blue leotard from Antwerp

[@gabriellesgirl]

Ali and Alicia definitely set the USA apart in vaulting. They can put the numbers up there for us in London.

[@edclench9573]

The commentary is so bad it's unreal

[@ItzKatieRoleplays]

Tim or Shawn??

[@MultiChantal22]

ItzKatie Well duh, it can't be Shawn's

[@liceous]

How did she win with that bar routine lnao

[@lillybruschuk]

liceous because she is sooo strong and dominant on the other events

[@bbhouk1]

because no one really brings their A game to the classic, it's just a practice run before nationals basically

[@kras118]

I agree-- I really like Nastia as a commentator

[@Vancleefylily]

Tim is like "WELL.. SHES SUPPOSED TO DO A BIG DISMOUNT HERE. NOT SO SURE.. SHE MIGHT NOT GET THAT." Damn tim she nailed that dismount and you pretty much hate ally, i can tell, but SHE GOT FIRST SO HA!!!!!!

[@hunterjd]

I lovee Aly!

[@rvgymnast13]

i love her leotard!

[@fabiandepta463]

At some ways Tims commentary is annoying but I don't know what I'd do without him at commentary lol😂😂

[@HLNawesomeness]

@LMA629 It's the one time he has said something nice about a gymnast that hasn't won a title on something. Not to mention that Aly tried the amanar last year and it wasn't too pretty, but it takes guts to try it again at a meet. One last thing did you like Aly's 2011 music more than her 2010 music? I like the 2010 one, but I think it is a good thing that Aly is expressing herself with the new music.

[@user-kh9ki3kq8m]

*takes 4 steps out of her amanar and bents her knees* Tim: Great Job!!!!!!!!1!1!1!1

[@dairekelly3188]

She fell on the1st night so she was happy to compete that skill for the first time

[@aarulf]

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised in the future if one of them does.

[@christopherbradford668]

back pike awesome

[@MsTickridge]

I hate how they always made it sound like she is bad on bars. "This is her worst event" they always had to say it at her Olympics

[@HLNawesomeness]

@LMA629 The style of her 2010 music was like nastia's 2005 music, alicia's 2008 music, sam peszeks 2008 music. But there was something about aly's 2010 music that made me like it. I like aly a lot, but my all time favorite was nastia because 2008 was the year I got into gymnastics. But my all time favorite for 2011 is Mckayla Maroney then aly, jordyn actually falls at the bottom of the list for me.

[@familyentertainmenttelevis8327]

Fun

[@TheCollectorEX]

nbc is getting a new announcer to replace tim dagget for the next olympics

[@davidbarnett9312]

Well, NBC did replace Elfie Schlegel with Nastia Liukin. Frankly I don't get the negatives toward Tim Daggett. He knows gymnastics, not only as an athlete himself, but a coach as well.

[@BitchWho-my8zm]

David Barnett i like his opinion too, but he should stop comparing everyone to simone. also, i wish nbc would show other gymnasts from lesser known countries more. they’re famous too!

[@3Dgymnast14]

i liked her floor and her vault was at a better diffeculty to get a higher score shawn looked great good luck at visa :)

[@aarulf]

And Nastia Liukin would be great in my opinion

[@lyskippy]

How did she get first place

[@13gymnasticslover]

@LCAmarkymark i think she gets credit

[@LCAmarkymark]

Will she get credit for the punch front after the double arabian on floor in combination or will it be separate

[@shanericoy4889]

go you can do that

[@fabiomazzla9945]

Sou trans e sou apaixonada pela Ale raismam muito Linda

[@jdcharlie]

Aly shines on the floor.

[@gummybearfilms6562]

Ya Aly

[@LCAmarkymark]

@13gymnasticslover maybe .2 Im guessing is she does but Im not sure

[@HLNawesomeness]

@yorkiet99 Well I hate him too I mean when Shawn fell on bars he said. " She's not bending her knees enough" Well duh she's favoring her knee that is going through an ACL MCL and meniscus injury. I'M SHOCKED THAT SHE CAN EVEN WALK! She's trying her best but he won't accept it. He should be replaced!

[@rockstarj741]

gah! she is too cute!

[@christopherbradford668]

2:13

[@matthewkretschmer7010]

I like Alexandra did on her routines thought there were some errors.

[@emmz75]

It would be totally awesome if all three of them did though :) I absolutely can't stand Al, Elfi, and Tim!

[@boonestarr88]

those commentators don't seem to like her very much.

[@Jason12233]

How did she win??? Don't get me wrong she's great but she was so off here... how...

[@spiderlover678]

This meet was an overall disaster. Nobody hit their routines the way they should've.

[@HJ-ju4ui]

And it was a diffrent CoP

[@yorkiet99]

that NBC comentator gets on my nerves he talks through everything and then he talks about her little bobbles but if Shawn or Nastia did it he would say perfect man that's amazing well done. then he sits here and says "she had a melt down" on bars if she had a meltdown she would be really upset and crying

[@ashleymeggan]

Shawn is like “stfu, you’re an ass.” I wish NBC would ditch him. Nobody needs the mansplaining.

[@shonnyblue4984]

Great job Aly....Tim dagger shut up damn.😰😰😰

[@Endang3red]

i hate how judgemental the announcers are. just shutup and tell me what they are doing i dont want to hear the critizism

[@LCAmarkymark]

@PhenixJoe lol unless NBC fires him I don't think he cares

[@otherworld11]

the sport misses Aly - she and the rest of the girls were abused during this time period. It took it's toll on these girls.

[@genmcclain]

me: *knows very little about gymnastics also me: her form isn't very good on vault

[@GymGirlLovesYou]

I'd like to see the announcers try and do what she can. Maybe that will teach 'em to be less critical over a tiny wobble.

[@delvinairish4920]

Boring crowd, sometimes one needs the crowd to elevate the moment.

[@ilovetraveling7]

what's up with this commentator? ....hate these kinds of commentators who just point out every little thing

[@jamie22880]

she is def a power house but i find her to not totally finish her moves she looks a lil sloppy...but HUGE potential

[@scoobydoobeydoo12]

ali really reminds me of myself. very strong on floor vault and beam but bars...ugh . i have a feeling she just hates the event.

[@Davylp]

@gabriellesgirl I Disagree about ALi, ALicia yes. ALi's vault is not pretty. It's hard, but if she did that at worlds she wouldnt get credit for it.

[@HyperKandie]

Shawn Johnson should be the last person to commentate. That first floor pass is pretty awesome!

[@PocketGymnast]

I dont understand how she won with some of those mistakes though, 12 pointer on bars.. shes a great athlete dont get me wrong but i didnt feel she should have gotten first with that

[@thefamilyshow8571]

Stop it

[@maureengill8879]

#

[@falpalemily]

Shawn is an awkward commentator lol

[@janellemariee]

does Tim ever shut up 🙄

[@kevinsam3078]

God i hate tim dagget, he is trying to create tention between the gymnast like he was trying to get shawn to say something about shawn , she is a better commentator than him

[@lovelygymnast4699]

Her bars look really bad

[@caitlinfrancis6]

Tim can just leave and find a new job

[@hannahrachelxo2281]

She's not graceful at all.. I miss old school gymnastics. She's a great gymnast don't get me wrong though...

[@thefamilyshow8571]

Aly is one of the best gymnasts of all time, don’t EVER say something like that

[@mh9577]

Everything you ever wanted Channel they can say what they want, especially if it’s the truth

[@catmeifyoucan4649]

Crap. How and why could she win with a performance like that??? I think in many ways she's overrated.. This proves that.

[@gymnast2410001]

I feel like Alexandra has no personality in her performance,she's just robotically doing the moves.

[@katieposhie9645]

Well she is a silver medallist in the 2016 olympics so she must be doing something right lol
