It’s amazing how she still has it at the age of 32. She’s is phenomenal

[@TxHoneyBee]

AND after TWO kids! I mean DAMN. Nobody has an excuse anymore. We all must get up and move.

[@goldiloks08]

Okay but why did it make me CRY when Andy picked her up in that hug after this routine... 🤩😭😍

[@KaitCervi]

same! the emotions started when she did her little celebration when she landed the dismount then the tears welled up when Andy hugged her.

[@reneec638]

I was right there with you!

[@Sdority905]

SAME!

[@Kixcomments]

Every gymnast should have as much fun with the sport as Chellsie. And Andy in the background is just ♥️.

[@sydneyc3259]

Yes!!! Most of them don’t seem to even enjoy it but she seems to be having the time of her life! Love it

[@sethescope]

let's be honest, we love Chellsie, but we're all really here for Andy lol

[@Kixcomments]

@@sethescope haha! Most definitely here for Andy. He's also OUR dad now!

[@erikgarcia2314]

Whomever disliked this video has knows nothing about the sport, she’s 32 mother of 2 and came back after 10 years with this level she deserves all the respect she’s unreal.

[@Eowyn126]

Andy’s fist pump after her Arabian made my day. What a stellar gymnast!!! I’m with chellsie all the way

[@indakgalak]

I don’t understand how they managed to get a 7.9 E Score!😓 Way to go Chellsie! You’re an absolute queen!👸🏻

[@JosedeJezeus]

she neds to add more flair, like the small leg kick and point she does before she dismounts the beam

[@tatakavlash5640]

They probably took 0.1 on her side split after her mount, 0.1 on flexed feet for each LOSO, bent knees and flexed feet on her arials twice (0.4), 0.5 on squat, 0.1 on her illusion, 0.5 on her arabian squat and 0.1 on balance and 0.1 on her dismount

[@casalazar10]

It's actually a fantastic score! It's just the way they judge beam 😩

[@KC-fi2or]

an entire point off for her feet. they aren't pointed in almost all her skills.

[@josephqualtier961]

13.7 is a massive score. To put it in perspective that would’ve won a world medal at the 2018 world champs as simone got 3rd with a 13.6

[@MusicMoviesTheaterHockeyOhMy]

Watched it a couple times to see Chellsie. Then watched it again to see her dad Andy's reactions

[@andrycrisiana]

Honestly, the best moment in this competition. This routine speaks volumes for a change in the culture of the sport towards more diversity and inclusion. When she stuck the Arabian, I think many people got emotional. Go Chellsie!

[@a9029k]

Not a stick but yes it was a great routine

[@micheleleimbacher5867]

I have not been this emotionally invested in an athlete before, but Chellsie's journey is so inspiring and the support of her family is so amazing - I was hanging on her every move and was so stoked for her !!! This is just the beginning Chellsie - you are on fire. You have made so much progress in the last 6 months it's just wild! - Go Chell go!!!

[@jrocreates8346]

Chellsie, as a 39-year old Stage 3 Cancer survivor with 2 daughters, I find you heroic. Your focus and determination is so evident. I loved that smile when you landed that flip. Beautiful routine.

[@myassisdraggan4732]

You are heroic as well! You fought a hard battle and won. I hope you are doing well!!!!❤

[@FrancesBaconandEggs]

Chellsie!!!!! You can just tell how her age and maturity are giving her an advantage here. She takes her mistakes (and even falls) in stride and celebrates her wins. And dammit, I love her gymnastics.

[@JoshuaFazeli]

If she had more time, she could be on this Olympic team. Let’s see what a difference two weeks will make. I have never seen a gymnast besides Shannon Miller with more grit and determination. She knows how to win a Team Final.

[@annapavfan4680]

Absolutely.

[@elipulci5761]

It's just 3 years before Paris 2024 :)

[@nathanielhalls1893]

If she’s looking this good now just think what she’ll be like in a few months by the time worlds comes around

[@lalareal180]

Nope. Not happenin Stan. let it go. Be happy she is doing this well here. Thats the goal.

[@Starfish1031]

Never say never. Who really knows who the selection committee will choose 🤔

[@mariannel.1792]

This made me cry. She is amazing.

[@katiecommon3614]

Seeing how proud Andy was made me tear up ❤

[@Appaddict01]

Kara and Chellsie had the same score. PS - I can’t tell you how happy I was to see a competition illusion turn from Chellsie.😭

[@Sierra-dj8rj]

I cried and got chills watching this routine. It was over so quickly. Her skills were solid and more importantly-- done with NO RESERVATIONS! She went for it and KILLED IT!!! Chell yeah!

[@uncchristine99]

She's freaking amazing!!! Been watching her comeback on Twitter over the past year and some. Way to go Chellsie!!

[@banibee9837]

Chellsea Memmel for Tokyo... Great Routine

[@ashleynoelle1632]

Im so emotionally invested in chellsie! I teared up when she landed her vault and was so happy and then again at the end of this dismount with her mom dad and sister down there just jumping for joy. Literal tears in my eyes. Shes so amazing!

[@kbota97]

Chell yea! That was amazing! I’ve been watching her practice all of pandemic, and she is a true inspiration.

[@dennisxo]

Excellent performance on this apparatus from Chellsie!!!

[@lexiw20]

I'm so happy for her, she's awesome. Still think the E score is a bit low though

[@daro2404]

The e score is accurate unfortunately 😕 But no denying that she's awesome 👏

[@wintermelonplays9005]

When I watched her performance, I cried😭 She's a legend and a wonder woman🔥❤️

[@sophier5508]

This is the best moment of this 1st day of US champs, really, it makes my day, I love it !

[@FreedomforLamontDFord]

This Wonderful Woman Brought Tears to my eyes🥲🤸‍♀️she landed every single last one ☝🏽 like a G!!! Get it Chelsie ! At 37 and after 3beautiful kids my body changed but my health has taken a turn for the very worse. But watching Chelsie overcome the Stigma of the media, and society because of her age and the sport proves the Mental Strength and Endurance of a True Athlete. ♥️I was so Encouraged by Chelsie that I can honestly say I am more Inspired Now then I Have been in a very long time… She Deserves a Life Time Achievement Award 🥇Truly a Remarkable Woman ♥️💕

[@spamgarbage6999]

Love how much the crowd loves her

[@annapavfan4680]

She is truly of the greats in my book. Period.

[@gymnast61791]

I love how loud everyone cheered when she saved the Arabian

[@thatsovanessa]

I'm cryinggggg, she did it!!!!!!

[@ExProforlife]

As Bruno Tonioli once said on Dancing With the Stars... "And it keeps getting better!" Best thing that's happened to gymnastics in the past year!

[@anettkruus]

How that low e score??? The routine looked pretty good to me

[@Redh3adElizabeth]

Her e score should not be lower than simone’s, who almost fell off the beam and had other major wobbles. The judging this year has been atrocious

[@You-dh1du]

There were some errors--not completely pointed toes, slightly bent legs on some of her skills, low landing on front tuck, low landing on arabian but she still has improved so much since Classics.

[@lizzielou742]

Only things I saw were that her straddle jump half and scale weren’t to 180 degrees. Chellsie for Tokyo!!

[@josephqualtier961]

@@Redh3adElizabeth there were some glaring errors but overall 13.7 is a massive score

[@alamgudiel7663]

One of the best in my opinion in the bb today

[@brigitmcmahon2585]

What an absolute legend

[@maheshunlimited]

wow to come out of retirement and pick up where you left, incredible!

[@mistymane105]

Yaaaaaayyyyy Chellsie!!! So proud of you!! 🙌🏼💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@theolovestosing]

GO CHELLSIE!!!!! This was fabulous 😍

[@sarahelizavoldy]

I didn't expect to cry! I was going to comment to ask if anyone else watched for Chellsie and watched again for Andy, but clearly everyone was!

[@jkell2888]

CHELL YEAH OMG SHE DID SO GOOD

[@edenseely6593]

I’m so freaking proud of her!!

[@shivs254]

TEARS! Just turned 26 and I feel so bloody inspired

[@ArcusLibri]

It's so cute seeing her parents and sister there as her coaching staff🥰

[@mariam__x]

What a Queen.

[@bboyagua]

I shed a tear, yesss

[@sammywilson4298]

She’s a legend!

[@ingridgeagea]

I’m so proud of her

[@allisonswoboda8540]

Could it be Biles, Chiles, Lee and Memmel for Tokyo? Wouldn’t that be something. Never count her out!

[@mckenzieraynor8436]

That's what I'm hoping!!!

[@angelagotz729]

so happy to see that her mount went so well this time!:) and I LOVE that the crowd went so wild for her!!

[@AmyCH102]

Love this so much!

[@lbibeaches99]

IM BEYOND THRILLED FOR HER! she is not going down without a fight. I really hope she hits tomorrow and really makes some heads turn

[@Inyourlap]

Ah the floor music started just at the right time: it looked as if Chelsie had music for beam 😃

[@robertonakazato8446]

Chellsie is doing more for gymnastics than FIG and USAG together. I don't care about anything but her!

[@anikokoren3417]

Oooo my god!!! Go Chellsie!!!

[@pedroh8915]

she has potentially .4 more difficulty, and a little more cleanup, so she can even be in the 14s which is actually competitive LOL

[@carterhebert7701]
