Chellsie's Adult Gymnastics Journey: Week 15 Part 2

[@nathanielhalls1893]

Ok, but the world is not ready. Especially Tim Daggett. So overjoyed Chellsie!!

[@FrancesBaconandEggs]

Remember that time she OWNED him with her excellent Yurchenko 1.5? What a legend.

[@aquastro]

😂😂 Tim Daggett gonna have to eat his shorts when she proves him wrong again.

[@maruxfmm1407]

He is such a turd...

[@sayerbrown9268]

ExCuSe Me Mr.DagGet

[@bygeorgina456]

Hello-I just subscribed! I’m a fan of gymnastics and adore Chellsie! Not familiar with the current jargon and exactly who was supposed to go (besides Simone, natch) in 2020. What did a Tim Daggart say/do? Also...is she going for Tokyo? That would be...well....EVERYTHING!

[@BenThompson]

Imagine Chellsie medaling in the all around at ‘22 worlds 19 years after she became a world champion🥺

[@nathanielhalls1893]

Chellsie: I’m not gonna commit to anything yet. 2021 worlds: 👀🥇🥈🥉

[@casalazar10]

I have literally been thinking that! It would be insane!

[@nathanielhalls1893]

Ben Thompson I cant stop thinking about the success she could potentially have at worlds

[@sabrinamarie4380]

2021 olympics simone n chelsea ❤❤💪💪

[@maurened5969]

I can absolutely see it. Her progress is so fast and she is so strong and fit.

[@melaniesistrunk6022]

I m sorry, this is no longer a journey....this is a comeback!

[@lynsieparry5777]

👍🏼

[@jojox9791]

Absolutely!!

[@coleyderp]

Facts

[@NicoleFerrierFitness]

I feel like she’s gotten stronger even her confidence in who she is has improved a ton!!

[@trendymaths2467]

Yes! Of course. This is what makes her a champion. Not necessarily her difficult skills but the fact that she can have such a mindset like this.

[@uuuupppssie]

also her body is looking sooo competition ready.

[@Sarah_Parks]

Anyone who can throw a DTY after not competing it for a decade, and was not exactly known for vaulting? Yeah. There are elites that finally have a DTY that looks decently solid after training it for a few years. Based on just the few we have seen from Chellsie, and she surely realizes how much stronger she is with this event, and that is evident again, based on the fact she had a pretty solid DTY after a few attempts. I think once she gets used to her new power with her run and block on vault, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they determine she could actually train an Amanar after perfecting the DTY. Andy might have made comments on training it in a joking manner, but I think a part of him is serious about her potentially training it. She is starting from such a higher level of fitness! The only thing that might hinder her with vault is the numbers, but I think as her body gets back into this, her recovery will be okay, and she absolutely has a handle on her body this time around, and the extra strength will surely make a difference as she progresses.

[@FrancesBaconandEggs]

sarah parks the fact that she’s viewing vault in a different way even after having been elite for so long is amazing. Having a DTY would put her on the same level as a lot of the current national team. But an Amanar...how amazing would that be ?!

[@Sarah_Parks]

@@FrancesBaconandEggs Absolutely! Even in the latest video posted yesterday, Andy even commented that they might not even need the Amanar. That just goes to show you how much Chellsie is already on pace to challenge the young ones who have been training long since she left the sport. If she can match/beat current elites on beam and bars, then the Amanar is moot, but having it might even give her the edge too! There is absolutely going to be strategy in determining what is needed.

[@NiceDrivewayy]

It was so beautiful to see Chellsie and Andy cheering on Rahdea. What a brutally difficult sport, but so inspiring to see someone working toward a goal with the support of their friends/coaches. I love that they are so positive with her-they know she’s her own worst critic, and even when she falls they have positive feedback.

[@jojox9791]

Right. Her dad knows her too well and knew how to get her here. She is literally changing the way elite gymnasts will view their food intake, training, body changes and everything else. This is amazing

[@TheJcaban]

Rahdea balking on beam brought me back to my gymnastics days 25 years ago and what it feels like to be scared but push through in the end. Thanks for taking me back, Rahdea. Btw, I always hated beam too!

[@skovacs83]

Why am I crying?!? Oh man it’s impossible to not get all the feels just hearing her say it’s a comeback.

[@brendanlawson5113]

I've said it once and I'll say it again. CHELLSIE MEMMEL IS SINGLE HANDEILY CHANGING THE PACE OF 2020!! This is literally a dream come true and there must be onions in the salad I'm eating because my eyes are watering something fierce. ......So we all agree that after the Olympics, Chellsie for President 2024? Great.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

too kind! Thank you

[@erinmccargar7607]

If I did my homework as fast as I click on these videos I would have a PHD by now

[@angfirefighter]

Erin I found that so funny!

[@sarabondi447]

Never met you, didn't even follow gymnastics yet when you were on top and only found out about you during your first come back ... Yet, I'm in tears! I've seen everything you did thanks to KZbin and now I'm seeing you shining a bright light on the sport of gymnastics that so needs it, thank you Chellsie. Now MEMMEL UP!

[@nicolemccoy4798]

Chellsie saying “it’s a comeback” seriously brought tears to my eyes 😆 she has no idea how much joy she is bringing to so many people! #chellsiememmeltokyo2021

[@CACompton99]

When she said its and official comeback i got goosebumps. Chellsie has always been one of my favorite gymnast. I cant wait for her to show the world that she still gots it.

[@gracieaziabor6696]

"what did you do on vault?" "i did a yurchenko double full" me: *EXCUSE ME MR. DAGGET*

[@melissabrown2837]

Gracie Aziabor 😆😆😆

[@nathanielhalls1893]

Chelsie : Does an amanar and second vault at 2021 classic. ‘ excuse me mr daggett’

[@aanwelke]

Yes Chellsie is coming back!!! Best news of today

[@aimelab]

Chell : I believe in you, Dea. Andy: I don’t. Andy is pure comic relief and the Dad we all need in the dumpster fire that is 2020.

[@annaj6545]

Favorite comment 😂

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

hahahaha

[@numberbender]

Whoa! It's a comeback! I am so happy to be part of the Chellsie Memmel journey.

[@erinm9445]

Also on a personal note: I'm part of a group of women (many of us former gymnasts) who got into aerial acrobatics in our late 30s and are now going strong as we circle 40. Being in the best shape of our adult lives and seeing what our 40-year old bodies can do has been the time of our lives. You are an icon Chellsie, love your strength, determination, kindness, humor, and sheer raw awesomeness as a gymnast, showing what adult women can do when we have the motivation and the drive ❤️

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

That is so awesome!

[@dimaandperfumes]

Gosh, I’ve cried when she said it 🙈🙈🙈

[@mlalgeo81]

Me too! And I’m at work right now! 😭😭

[@IbuWife]

Megan Algeo Me too!!!

[@casalazar10]

Same!!!

[@katiemm12]

Chellsie- I was literally thinking last week “ugh I would love more content!!” and here we are!! Love the videos- they’re so well done and very professional looking! I can’t get enough, great work 😀😀

[@TinaReutin]

A comeback, yay! A fuzzy retro leotard! Father is the coach. Memmel up, yes! Rahdea onward on your soon-to-be fave event.

[@Fernahnda]

She wore the 2003/4 flame leotard!

[@mojochrys]

Chellsie, regardless of where this comeback takes you, YOU ARE AMAZING!

[@hannahstuder8542]

I crieeed when you said it is a comeback

[@agent606]

I think we all knew once she started training four events. But to hear it, I actually teared up. She’s going to set a precedent that gymnasts can take time off for themselves, to have a life, and can come back as long as they keep their body moving. (Yes chuso but she never stopped). Girls don’t have to train their bodies into the ground by 16 and then find something else to do for the rest of their lives. I love this, it’s a new interesting page in gymnastics.

[@milanopiano]

The positivity, having fun, the hugs and cheering each other on, what a wonderful message to the world of gymnastics that this is the way you're making your comeback, Chellsie. You, Rahdea, your father, the crew and all the other wonderful people involved in this wonderful experience, you people deserve all the best in the world. You are all truly incredible.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!!!

[@treyartemov8974]

My 2020 has gotten a whole lot better 😭

[@ramhith381]

OH MY GOD THE COMEBACK!!!

[@madeline2282]

Seeing what a supportive environment you guys create while Rahdea was working on her series warms my heart. We all knew it was a comeback, no need to admit anything ;)

[@trendymaths2467]

I feel so spoiled by Chellsie’s awesome videos. I love 💕 these videos and look forward to them every week. I feel like this content would usually only be available on platforms like Netflix and this would definitely cost money to watch. But thanks to Chellsie being so generous, anyone can follow along with her amazing journey.

[@Sarah_Parks]

Who else wants to see Chell Yeah, Memmel Up and other merchandise?! Maybe some with more funny Andy Memmel quips? I think there are thousands of fans here that want to support Chellsie and her comeback! I realize that it isn't exactly Chellsie's style to want to financially gain anything through her gymnastics, but speaking from my own experiences, I don't typically buy merch from stereotypical influencers who just make merch as part of their brand, but enjoy being able to proudly use/wear something from a specific cause I really support and believe in. I like to workout, and wearing a Memmel Up tank top would probably be really motivating for me. I am also 32, and although I am decently fit, I find myself not pushing myself harder when I know I could. Some Chellsie gear for the gym would be a great reminder for me!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you so much!! My sister just set up some shirts and tanks....I would love to get a full on store at some point. Love the idea of some of my dads one liners haha! www.customink.com/fundraising/chellyeah? www.customink.com/fundraising/chell-yeah-tanks?

[@andrearennels3028]

Crying on my lunch break...but couldn’t be happier😢🤩💪🏻

[@friendonfilm8778]

IT'S A COMEBACK BABYYYY

[@KarlWarden]

Yessssss it’s a COMEBACK!!!

[@amrehu88]

Yassss!!! Congrats on your comeback Chellsie! You have so many people rooting for you every step of the way!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you

[@savannah7219]

you have no idea how happy I was when I heard the words "ITS A COMEBACK" you got this chellsie!!

[@ranHagag555]

No matter what where this goes, you’ll always be an All-Around World Champion and an Olympian and medalist. With that said, I hope you make it to the 2021 Olympics.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you

[@Gi33100]

IT’S A COMEBACK

[@kylehardy5256]

Chellsie Memmel making a comeback is the best thing that's happened in 2020. You can tell how truly passionate she is about the sport. 32 years old and a mother of two - I'm excited to see the next generation of talent inspired by her. I'm so happy for you, Chellsie and I'm rooting for you with my whole heart!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!!

[@zoeybuck7950]

As a former level 10, I can confidently say that Chellsie’s dad should coach other coaches on how to coach. He is so supportive and mild tempered. When I balked, I was shamed and talked down to. We need more supportive coaches like you in this sport.

[@pattoo2945]

This journey (now comeback!) is what we (I) all need during these times! So fun to watch this series and cannot wait to root for you in the year to come Chellsie!

[@melshaekelwelt]

It's a comeback!!! I'm not crying, you are!

[@camspearman8590]

This comeback is really inspiring. Just goes to show with the work ethic, knowing your body, and training correctly anything is possible. Can’t wait to see her first meet back.

[@NotCarolynFFS]

The world is burning down around us and Chellsie's videos are the one bright spot

[@peach4973]

i got chills when you said "this is a comeback, it's official" you're literally the plot twist that is shaking the entire world that NOBODY was ready for! congrats and here for your journey!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you

[@kaylee5438]

I’m in huge support of this, not only because I love chellsie Memel, but because I have been in long-time support of the aging up of elite women’s gymnastics. I would love to have to Olympic teams be closer to an average of 22-24 or even older. The old concepts of youth and lightness to be good in gymnastics does not hold water. You can clearly see that health and strength make a better gymnast.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!!

[@forrestlloyd1424]

To this day, Chellsie has the BEST double pike beam dismount out there.

[@nathanielhalls1893]

It’s so high and lands with her chest so upright, she’s basically standing up

[@jodavitow]

For real. And her double on vault isn't too far away from being up there with the best ones in America tbh

[@bunnybeaner]

Yes!!! There are so many double pike dismounts out there, but Chell smokes them all.

[@shaylauren166]

EXCUSE ME, MR. DAGGETT! I'll fully admit I cried at the end of this video when she said she's coming back officially. YOU'RE DOING AMAZING CHELLSIE

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@lynnyager8900]

Omggggg!!!!!!! Chellsie this is just amazing! I waTched u all those years ago and just remember thinking that u were so much better than ur injuries led us to think u were, and now u r that much wiser and stronger so watch out ladies....... Chellsie is back so that means there’s only 2 open spots on the Olympic team as far as I am concerned. 🤯🤸🏻‍♂️🥇

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you

[@heatherwicker9990]

Yeah for you and Dea doing her series! You two are very inspiring!

[@redsfavs829]

Wow, I wasn't expecting to feel so many emotions to hear Chellsie say it's a comeback! Tears of joy and fear: you enjoy gymnastics so much and I want you to be able to do it as long as you want to do it! (Don't forget about NAIGC Nationals when you're finished with elite!)

[@XtinaP123]

When she said it was officially a comeback I felt like crying! This time it’s on her terms, without the scrutiny and abuse of Marta. I know her fans have full confidence in her. Congratulations Chellsie! You have many people cheering you on every flip of the way! 🤸🏻‍♀️

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you

[@nadjapohle7849]

So glad you’re coming back Chelle! Everybody memmel up their game and watch their backs- Chellsie is coming for those stuck landings and connections you bet!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you

[@ejohnson3131]

"She's not ready for it. She knows it. The coaches know it... Excuse me Mr. Daggett?"

[@rachelloo2455]

Also, amazing job, Rahdea! You're so amazing!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Yes! She was awesome

[@Thebraids]

IT'S A COMEBACK!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@cerseicatlannister1899]

i’m sooo excited. i’ve been watching you since i was 7 years old

[@byersfamily138]

Omg! It’s not even Sunday! I’ve been blessed

[@aquastro]

Man I got CHILLS when she made it official. I am rooting for you, Chellsie!! You're such an inspiration.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

thank you

[@valerieannolivas4150]

Go Chellsie !!!! I watched you when we were teens, and now I watch you when we’re adults! I’m cheering for you all the way!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

thank you!

[@aebbantayan9849]

At long last😭 I love the kind of gymnast Chellsie is today.. It feels like she knows herself more and just enjoying what she loves. We are rooting for you Chells💪

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@isalmeida2006]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! If this is the end of season 1, I can only imagine how fiery it will be season 2. Getting my popcorn ready, and cheering for Chellsie all the way, no matter the end result. She's a champion like no other.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you

[@brite1978]

Oh god why am I emotional! Hearing the words "it's a comeback" just really got me lol

[@heidieiwen3735]

I’ve been hugely impressed by you, Chellsie! And it’s awesome that you took the leap to declare it a comeback! And as a former D3 athlete and coach, it’s been wonderful watching you train alongside Rahdea! You’re both looking great!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@kimberlyann7835]

Ok, upon hearing the words “it’s a comeback” I started tearing up - happy tears obviously but teared up for sure. What a wild ride this will be! So excited for you, Chellsie!! 😀

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

thank you

[@MeganW_88]

Who's rewatching this after she competed at Classics? #ChellYeah

[@gillyuk1013]

Literally nearly cried when she said it’s a comeback 🤩🤩

[@savannah7219]

omg same

[@patricia2034]

You and Rahdea are both great! I love gymnastics...did it in my younger days lol.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@KatyDoesTravel]

Literally just danced in my kitchen when she said it’s a comeback! This is the best thing to come from 2020!!!

[@sajero2]

Go, Chellsie!! Cheering you on from Minnesota!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you

[@abubarrie88]

Always excited for this vid to come out every week. Go Chellsie!!!

[@rebeccaschrier7568]

I have tears in my eyes. That was incredible! Way to go! Age is just a number! Show the world how strong mom’s really are!

[@lorrainefrazier238]

Wow!! I have enjoyed watching your journey so far. Happy to see you are making a comeback. Prayers for a safe and injury free road to Tokyo! I’ll be cheering you on. You are such an inspiration. Love your attitude.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you

[@scottanderson5990]

This is awesome! Way to go Chellsie! I’m rooting for you. Also, as someone originally from Minnesota, I must say I miss the accent. Haha

[@rachelloo2455]

Wow. Chellsie, you are so damn inspiring. Such a beast!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you

[@1poiuy]

IT’S A COMEBAAAAAACK! Chellsie, you’re a rockstar and I’m rooting for you. I’m so excited for this upcoming gymnastics season, so much talent!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@WhitneyBurchfield]

Get it girl! Oksana Chusovitina has always been one of my idols and you’re right up there with her now as proof that there is a place for WOMEN in women’s gymnastics! Coming back after eight years and two babies just because it’s what you love to do is AMAZING. You are such a role model and I think the gymnastics world and the world in general need someone like you so much right now!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@golden_leader9227]

I'm so excited you would have guessed that i'm her, not a stranger on the internet. GO CHELLSIE!!! We're waiting for you!

[@kimjenkins5456]

Yeah!!!! You got this!!! Congratulations on all you’ve accomplished thus far, excited for the future for you!!!!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you

[@sophiarubens54]

i just wanted to say how much i appreciate these videos. i'm a casual gymnastics fan and recreational gymnast myself, and i only joined the community recently, after the period of reckoning began for usag and the abusive cultures that have gone unchecked for so long throughout the sport. these videos do so much to spread the idea that a powerful gymnast doesn't need to be an abused, anorexic, overworked teenager. plus they are professionally made and offer a window into an amazing comeback that allows so many of us to cheer chellsie on from the sidelines :))

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@pinokiboi]

I got chills and my hands started sweating at the end. It’s official! I cannot wait to see the journey keep evolving...

[@leopoldo4561]

OMFG!!!! 😱Was not expecting the official statement about the comeback on this episode!! 😍 also love seeing the comradeship between you and Rahdea💜💛 #MEMMELUP y’all!

[@tinakover385]

AHHHHHHHHH, Chellsie!!! CHILLS when you officially called it a comeback! So much love to you, lady!

[@Appylover33]

Yay!!! Can we get more Rahdea footage too?

[@alyjo8645]

Proving the strength, determination and heart is what it takes to achieve your goals. The fact that this started out as a fun thing but reminded you how much you love this sport and awakened the true elite athlete in you allowing you to make this a comeback! I’m so excited to get to follow your journey as the greatest comeback ever.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thanks!

[@yumyumoryuck8675]

"It feels different because I'm doing it for the love and the joy of it." I think this is what gymnastics should have always been about for all of the athletes.

[@sygirl101]

Oh! So exciting! Congrats on making that big step!

[@wkim22]

She's training a DTY and doing elite skills. This is definitely a sure comeback! This is awesome to see more adult gymnasts coming back. The competition would be much more exciting to watch moving forward.

[@deannastoppler1091]

Well that was a tear jerker at the end. I am so glad your dad is your coach, that he is supportive and can help you kick ass without killing your spirit. It’s a comeback!

[@danielkaohimaunu4025]

I LOVE watching this journey. Funny, inspiring and entertaining. The whole cast makes me smile and miss my gym days. I appreciate the relationship between father/coach and daughter/gymnast. Much respect. Train hard.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@valentinamazzoni9531]

Hi Chelsie, I feel so proud of you and your strenght, courgage and decision. You were right, that's an official coming back, for you and me (even if in another sense). I've started my new job after many defeated battles and a big burn out. We are distant, at the same time for some reason we are very close to each other. Some mornings I want to cry because of how hard it is but I do it. I say to myself that I have to "Memmel Up!" It's hard and scary but it works. As always, best wishes a lot of very very huge hugs from Italy!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you and I hope this new job goes well for you!

[@jojox9791]

🦸🏻‍♀️🤸‍♀️🦸🏻‍♀️🤸‍♀️ I'm in AWE! I love that you officially announced a comeback! I know you'll surpass your goals!! But in addition, I believe you're giving these younger USAG girls, who are pretty lost right now, a glimpse into what *you don't have to deprive yourself, count every calorie and push your body beyond its limits to achieve their dreams* looks like !! This sport, historically, has such a short shelf life....YOU'RE CHANGING IT ONE VIDEO AT A TIME. YOU FREAKING ROCK !! 🙌💪🤸‍♀️🦸🏻‍♀️

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@kavirparthab5211]

Never smiled so hard! Behind you all the way! 💚

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you

[@danielaurazan5988]

No matter where this ends, this journey is going to be amazing! Rooting for you Chellsie!!! Also, seeing Rahdea do the series was really inspiring

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you

[@mikegarcia597]

This is so inspiring! I’m 29 now and honestly 30’s are gonna be so cool!

[@kolibri7712]

i actually teared up when you finally called it a comeback

[@scapin2207]

I AM SO EXCITED! And I can‘t wait to hear Jessica‘s squeals on the next GymCastic Podcast about this

[@DanDan-ut5me]

I just started watching wag in 2017 and i have learnt a lot since then, and for the past 3 years, you have been one of my favs to watch, and my fav usa gymnast ever. I once wished that I knew something about gymnastics back then in the 2000's so I can root for u when u were competing (i really couldnt because i was too young too) and now that you're officially coming back, i really, truly can 😭 IM SO PROUD OF YOU CHELLSIE! YOU HAVE MY PRAYERS!!!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@LatinFratGuy1]

1. im living for this series. 2. no matter what happens next year you should know the whole gymnastics community is rooting for you 3. i hope next week you alter the name of your series from Journey to Comeback. That's all :)

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you and thanks for the idea!

[@MCMNasty2]

Hell yes! No matter what, thanks for allowing us to follow along with your journey. So proud of you!!

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!

[@breannethompson2899]

Literally crying in the back room on my break at work right now. It is SO INCREDIBLY INSPIRING to watch someone so confident in themselves (especially in allowing moments of uncertainty) and strive for more and better always... I'm so excited to see this amazing journey unfold. Memmel 2021.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

Thank you!!!

[@lissy0625]

YES! MEMMEL UP! And way to go Rahdea!

[@crystalmanteuffel8858]

I'm going to be sad when Rhadea goes back to school. She's so much fun and the camaraderie between you too is nice to see. You both are great motivators for each other. Oh and best line from Coach Andy in the last video, "Memmel Up!"

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

I will be so sad!!
