Chellsie's Adult Gymnastics Journey: Week 14

[@adamolition8702]

Andy lowkey at the end saying "Do a Nabieva", next week we see her doing drills for that, complaining how everyone is conspiring against her, yet she has the biggest smile. love this!

[@HJ-ju4ui]

i love that your dad is just slowly morphing back in to full coach mode 😂

[@heatherwicker9990]

I think sometimes we forget just how much mental prep is needed to do such dangerous stuff. She’s doing a great job even when she is scared. Very brave woman to try things she hasn’t done in 8 years. Hats off to you! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@soapygirl83]

That is so very true. Being able to overcome fear and doubt is one of the things that separates the good from the great. One of the reasons I have always been a gigantic Chellsie Memmel fan is watching her incredible mental toughness

[@redsfavs829]

"Don't forget, she's a World Champion. If she can whine, so can you!" As a masters athlete, I feel that! I'll do it, but I need the emotional space to say "I'm scared" while I'm preparing to do it.

[@karyon1007]

I laughed so hard and actually felt a little inspired in that moment!😆

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

I always feel its better to be honest with being scared and laying it out there!

[@byersfamily138]

I could watch these for hours! They always seem to end so fast

[@nathanielhalls1893]

Ik it’s a shame because they’re so so good!!!

[@matthewlavezzoli5958]

End of summer is when she will announce a comeback. I can sense it

[@katk5462]

I think we will find out when we see her at an elite qualifier 😂😂😂

[@Lea-cp8gi]

The muscles in her lower arms when she puts her wrist bands on...hellll I want a comeback announcement so bad!!

[@kelslovesdragqueens1249]

Getting through 2020... one Chellsie video at a time 🎉

[@gemarijke]

Chellsie and Andy's conversations are too funny 😂 So priceless!

[@sfhayesvalley]

"There's less whinage, but still no enthusiasm." That's fantastic! Applies in so many contexts. Enthusiasm usually shows up when it's needed. Keep going! Loving this journey.

[@rachelestrada8901]

I love you sticking up for yourself - "It's okay to be afraid! It's been 8 years!" True and true, and acknowledging that makes it so much cooler that you proceed to do the scary thing.

[@maruxfmm1407]

Papa Memmel will still be an “observer” in Tokyo 😂

[@jessicanuveenleflar7061]

agree!!!!

[@bluebacon4233]

That would be so amazing! I am proud of Chelsea no matter how far she goes. It would be fun even to see her in a meet again!

[@kristiknobloch3760]

If these videos were an hour long, I would still watch every week and wish there was more. I'm so interested and invested in this "comeback." It's one of the main things I look forward to on Sundays.

The video production quality is just getting better every week! I look forward to this more and more. And I'm so glad to see you finally doing giants! And vault now? What you do is so impressive and I can't want to see more.

[@99ilana]

I thought the "if you can do a cartwheel you can do a Yurchenko" joke at the beginning was pretty funny, but apparently Chellsie if *you* can do a cartwheel, you can do a Yurchenko! It looked utterly effortless and brilliantly executed, as did the giants. A reminder of why you're a world champion. PS loved the tension building music

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@charleyanne]

I have to say, I had a boyfriend in my late teens for several years, I had been just messing around outside & he said "how can you be a gymnast & not even be able to do a cartwheel??", He was dead serious too, we were already together for at least a year & known each other for at least 2 by this time. I had to prove to him I could do a cartwheel. Not to mention all of the front & back handsprings, Ariel's, flips, you name it that brought this up to begin with. I just never did them at that point...still laugh about that one. So I can sort of relate to where we all thought the cartwheel was going in the video!! Lol 😁😂🙃

[@davidhartig87]

The best part of every Sunday!! Hooray for Vault and Giants!!

[@LizardSnapper]

Love that Rahdea’s been in these videos a good bit recently! You’ve got such a fun dynamic with each other haha!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

It's been awesome to have her in the gym, I will be sad when she goes back to college!

[@confusedclarinetgirl]

I still like you. You don't have a choice. 😂 The pure joy and gentle teasing is life!

[@christiantamayo4367]

Im craving for Tim Dagget's commentary if Chelsie make a comeback, Im ready for that !!!

[@morgangreenlee2091]

Haha same!! Tim is going to go wild! 😅

“She’s not ready on this event. She knows it, her coaches know it. I’d be shocked if they’d take any kind of a risk here”... 12 years later training newer / harder skills 🍵 🐸 IM SO READY FOR NEW NBC COMMENTATORS! NASTIA & TIM GOTTA GO 👋

This has become the one thing I look forward to watching every week now. This is so exciting! I’ve been in my own fitness journey. Currently on day 40 of working out and conditioning everyday. Chelsea is my motivation! 💜🌈

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

That is awesome, good for you! You got this!

[@alliep7653]

This is....SO exciting! And inspiring. Chellsie, you are following your heart and it's breathing life into myself and thousands of others who are watching you during this trying time. Almost brings me to tears. Patiently awaiting the Memmel on beam next year. Train smart & with love. ❤️💪🏼🤸🏻‍♀️

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you so much!!

Wait...I didn't notice that!!!🤯

[@sarahelizavoldy]

@@karyon1007 Right!? Sneaky.

[@andrewkallem92]

just wanted to comment, thanks for the inspiration. I totally understand the fear factor. I recently started taking an adult gymnastics class to stay in shape, because gymnastics is way more fun than lifting weights. There are 3 other adults and we had all done gymnastics as youths (i quit in 1984...i'm old) and its kind of interesting to see how scary the tricks/skills are now that we could do casually when we were 12, but it's also cool to see how much the body "remembers" those tricks/skills once we get our minds to get out of the way.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

I agree it is so much more fun!

[@alyssatony3701]

this is the video i look forward to every week!!! i'm so excited for you you don't even understand!! you're absolutely amazing

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you so much!!

[@GullibleTarget]

There was a time I was obsessed with gymnastics and watching every competition on youtube. Including world's at Anaheim when Memmel was called in as the alternate to the alternate . She outscored everybody in team competition. That was 2003. 17 years later....time sure flies

[@12h08]

There's something special brewing on bars. You looked powerful and effortless at the same time. I'm biased. It's my favorite event. hahahah

[@peettteerrr]

New releases and possibly a pak + van leeuwen combo 🔮✨👀

[@mathfincoding]

OMG I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS EARLY. WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS IS ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF MY WEEK!!!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Yay! Thank you!

[@aanwelke]

Wait we get a part 2 this week! Chellsie you are doing great things and I will look forward for what is coming next.

[@sethescope]

I'm watching this almost a week after Chellsie competed at the GK Classic 🥰 it only took her 10 months to go from "no, my dad isn't coaching me" to "I'm competing for a spot on the US Olympic team" what a queen

[@butterbeer4582]

I’m amazed! You’re inspiring me to sign up for beginner gymnastics at uni next year. I’ve been watching videos and realized how much I miss it, after quitting when I was a kid. I’m so embarrassed and scared to start again with my clunky 18 year old body, but hey, why not! I just want to find that fun feeling I used to get from swinging on the bars, vs all the stress and drama from competing that pushed me to stop.

[@elizabethbryanna]

GIANTS 🙌🏻These just keep getting better and better! I am so excited to see how this continues!

[@pretzelsfan]

these keep getting better. was NOT expecting a vault timer of all things!!

[@sheilaholter4489]

I cant wait to see that BHS piked Arabian combination on high beam. No matter where this journey goes, I could watch Chellsie train forever. Such an inspiration!

Chellsie, I had tears in my 👀 when I saw you on the bars at 1:06, then again with "coach/father". The vault talk! You do you at your pace but we're all here for it & to cheer you on! We ❤️ you & wishing you the best! Make sure that hammy is healthy!! 😘

[@charleyanne]

Coach/Dad: are you going to fkip Chellsie: are we going from 0-100 Instigator: why not Chellsie: this is ridiculous Coach/Dad:. Did you die Chellsie: I did not die Coach/Dad: ok, then you're fine I love the relationship you have with him & his laid back attitude (he knows you know how to work when needed)!!! Good luck on this adventure! We're all rooting for you!

I love this so much! Every week I get excited for the new video to drop! I'm not a gymnast (not even an athlete, what is coordination?) but I love watching gymnastics and something about Chellsie doing this is so inspiring and amazing and I hope people see this and realize that age doesn't define you unless you want it to.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!!

[@TheTimo5494]

Proud of ya lady. Andy knows just how to push you . and she needs to be training next to you everytime you train. She pushes you as well. Fear is good but dont let fear keep you from your potential . Cause everyone watching and most importantly those around you all know. This is only the beginning for your new journey. Im selfishly am sad the video wasn't longer lol . keep up the amazing work. What your doing is nothing but amazing. And great for the women of the sport at any age .

[@tiffmarghella9047]

I look forward to these videos every single week. I’m LIVING for this. No matter how far you take this, you are an inspiration for your fans, family, kids & friends!! Even if you only compete in one elite competition & then stop. I will be HERE FOR IT. (I selfishly hope there is more than one though 😉)

only thing left is to casually start doing floor passes. Can't wait to see the Memmel element from the originator again

[@katk5462]

She had been doing them, including a double double, but I think when her hamstring got sore she stopped. She might be doing them still just not putting them in the video.

[@karyon1007]

🤣

[@adamolition8702]

Yeah a dty is huge for her, even at elite shed be doing a full or a 1.5. Im skeptic about a 1.5, cause scoring doesnt reward going higher by much.

Adam Binyamin she had a DTY in 2005
