Beam Final - Women's Artistic Gymnastics | London 2012 Replays

📲 Want to watch live sport and original documentaries for free? Check out our website: oly.ch/WatchLiveSport
Full replay of the Artistic Women's Beam Final from the North Greenwich Arena during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Artistic gymnastics was introduced at the very first Olympic Games in 1896 in Athens, and has been present at every edition of the Games since then. At the beginning, it comprised disciplines that are difficult to qualify as "artistic", such as climbing and acrobatics.
The foundations of the Olympic gymnastics programme were laid at the 1924 Games in Paris, when the men's apparatus individual and team competitions appeared. In 1928, women were included in the Amsterdam Games. It was not until 1952 that the women's programme was developed, with seven events, and then stabilised at six events as from the 1960 Games in Rome. =========================================

There’s unbelievable pressure to win and being so close to coming first and then watching someone else take the place is rough. She would’ve felt extraordinarily disappointed.

[@xygzhou4463]

Also, it's a cultural thing in China. Unlike most of the people feel like those medalists are having such an incredibly great achievement, the common conception in China is that only the gold medalist will be memorized.

I’m the same way haha

[@abilestial]

I would do too undoubtedly, especially if I was that close to that gold medal

[@ZZ-lk8gn]

Why are Sui Lu's tears necessarily interpreted as a sign of disappointment? You know, sometimes when you finally complete something very hard, you cry not just the moment you finish them. You just need some time to digest, and suddenly a sense of relief makes you cry. As a college student, I once cried before I went to bed, on the day when I finished my sixth final exam. It seems to me that Lu cried because all those years of trainings were so tough, and she finally finished her Olympics. Not "bad sportsmanship".

[@gccstan31]

Nope, she was definitely disappointed. But I wouldn't call that bad sportsmanship, considering the context. Sui Lu was arguably the best beam worker of that quad, her routines were really admired and rightfully so. You could tell she was really proud of the pure level of skill she achieved on that apparatus. Now Deng already won a gold medal at the prior Olympics and it was non other than Deng that got chosen over Sui for the Olympic team in 2008. She probably was giga frustrated (also I personally think that Deng was a tiny bit overscored)

[@minaisfab17]

Why would it be bad to be disappointed?

The best thing about Shannon is that, unlike Tim Daggett at NBC (U.S.), she isn't yelling or constantly talking over every blessed thing. Knowing when to be quiet and let the competition speak for itself is an underappreciated skill.

[@katbbun1]

I love how Linlin taps her arms to her sides during her layout :) Her minimal style suits her precision so well, the beauty is in the excellent routine construction and how well she performs the elements.

The feelings must be hard when you see your teammate get a higher score than yourself, you're really sad, but you must also feel happy for your country.

[@chloemakesvideos3889]

+Renn Li Sometimes it's not just about score. There are many Chinese gymnasts coming from very poor family and they want to get the prize. The first place's reward can get the gymnast buy a whole house for her family and let her family live well for at least 5 years. If I were Sui Lu, I would really want to kill myself as it's not that I didn't perform well enough, it's all because of the 0.1 difficulty and one more tumbling and the score can be higher than Deng Lin Lin's.

[@antoniothunderhunter8424]

This was one of the best finals ever. Not because of the splatfest, but because of the top 2, Sui Lu and Deng Linlin. I believe that these two women are some of the best beam workers EVER. So rarely do we see elegance and maturity displayed on a piece like Balance Beam, all combined with difficulty and pristine execution. I honestly could see how anyone could make an argument for how either should have won, but I will always remember them for the phenomenal work they presented here. To this day I haven't seen anyone, not Simone Biles, not Shang Chunsong, not Aliya Mustafina reach their level of work.

[@emilychang98]

Agree!! Deng Lin Lin and Sui lu are the best!!

[@wendywu9264]

totally agree

[@tpbnc3247]

While Deng Lin Lin and Sui Lu are undeniably one of the best beam workers who ever graced the Olympic stage, Nastia is simply the best - her elegance, power and her long lines will never be paralled in probably the next 10 olympic cycles.

Heart-breaking to see all of them feeling so sad. Imagine practicing a sport that is so demanding whereby only getting gold can justify the amount of time and effort that was put in.

I cried when the commentator said about komova "my hope is that she gets away from this competition hungry for the next olympics " knowing she won't be competing at Rio, so disappointing for such a talented gymnast to go out like that, no olympic gold medal... She's always had the potential, yet some injuries and misfortune always got in her way.. She'll forever be my favourite gymnast

well she didn't say she's retiring, just that she's not trying for Rio, so although it's very unlikely I'm still holding out hope that she'll make a comeback for 2020:D

This has been one of the best BB final in terms of the artistry and execution, specially Sui Lu, Komova, Catalina, Larisa and Deng. I prefer Sui Lu's gymnastics better then Deng's since she is so fluid with her movements but Deng really gave a great performance here. Can not stop watching this.

@@Rooneytunes01 Have you been to China? Because your argument is so stupid you sound like a brainwashed American. Regardless of Government differences between the two political ideals, that has nothing to do with the PEOPLE of China or the PEOPLE of America. You've been convinced into thinking they're all awful and that's incredibly sad to see that it was so easy to convince you. These coaches have trained their athletes well, and gave them the praise they deserved. As did the others. Stop being so insanely xenophobic. Get a grip.

I don't understand why their trainer or whoever it is who supports them doesn't hug them. It's seems like when they do bad no one wants anything to do with them. It just seems odd that the people who do well get hugs and the others don't. It just seems sad, like if I fell off the balance beam I'd want a hug or some support. Btw I think anyone who does anything on a balance beam is crazy talented. It's amazing how someone can even walk on one let alone do back flips and all this crazy stuff.
