You know it's a new era when they start posting old videos of themselves "back" in the 00's instead of in the 90s. So adorable! Congratulations to Lauriw for making into the new Rio 2016 team! 👏🏼👏🏼💪🏽💪🏽😄😄

[@hannahfindley3813]

it was posted in the year the video was filmed...

[@ashley3461]

What are you talking about? This meet was in 2011 (in 2011 Laurie was 10 or 11 and you can tell she's 10 or 11 in this video) and it was posted to KZbin in 2011. So it's not some "throwback" video from like 2006 or something like you're claiming it is.

[@jennacablair]

Natalie S technically this is from the '10s not the '00s. If it was from the '00s it would be from 2000-2009. This is from 2011 making it a different decade.

[@lvega5606]

Most little girl gymnasts think that somehow they are going to the Olympics someday. And since Laurie was already a good elite here at age 10, I can guarantee you she thought she'd make the Rio Olympics. Especially since when she was 9 she told her coach Maggie "I'm going to make the Olympics."

[@MANMARTRE]

This girls has "IT", if she sticks with the sport she may just take floor gold in Rio and a few world medals....now to jet get her that dynamic on bars...and she could win All-Around.

[@TheGymSavant]

Difficulty isn't everything, execution is very important. The all around medalists in 2012 were all clean but had difficulty too.

[@TheGymnastic101]

srry. the floor gold is Simones

[@MANMARTRE]

+TheGymnastic101 4 Years ago everyone said the London AA gold was between Bross, Iordache, Komova and Weber, NOBODY believed Gabby could take it, they didn't even give her a second thought...Tim Dagget didn't even know her name 6 months before at the American Cup, and she had been 5th in All-Around Qualifications in Tokyo....

[@TheGymSavant]

Kevin Jewell lol as long as simone is healthy she is floor gold champion. She's never made mistakes on floor internationally + she scores at least 0.5 higher than the rest of the field internationally. She has a huge jump now too with an additional 0.4 in difficulty.

[@MANMARTRE]

+Kevin Jewell Keep an eye on Ragan Smith, she has been on a upwards momentum adding difficulty, becoming consistent, and she has the cute factor, she terribly pretty the personality to make the whole world fall in love with her like they did Olga, Mary Lou and Moceanu...
