Daiane dos Santos (BRA) : 2008 Beijing Olympics : EF FX

[@12markito]

She just did a G rated skill and these commentators aren't going to comment on that? WTF. lol

[@xrictinagymnastics]

It's strange how she absolutely is in control after the two G elements she performs and she has the mistakes in the two others. Sometimes I feel that she's too powerful to control an easy skill, but her tumbling ability is out of this world

[@Matt-su5fy]

I always felt like that too. I think she just put the same amount of energy in every tumble regardless. She had been trained a half turn to the double straight (yep he biles) ... had she done it, she would have a third salto to her credit in the COP and would've had smoother landings...

[@JuniorRibeiro166]

A Dai era de um nível tão elevado que ainda saindo duas vezes do tablado, recebeu quase 15.000. Até hoje quando vejo os vídeos dela fico inconformado por ela nunca ter ganho uma medalha olímpica. Ela merecia demais.

[@flavioeudes8221]

Penso da mesma forma

[@cleitonpereiraalves8579]

Em pequim provavelmente ela ganharia o Bronze, o que não deixa de ser impressionante. Em athenas sim ela era favorita, com sobras. Nossa Daiane fez história, também não me conformo dela não ter ganhado essa medalha.

[@Rodriigoreis]

Infelizmente a nota de dificuldade naquela época não pesava tanto na nota final igual atualmente.

[@autoneto]

If Daiane used the landing tricks (splits and lips) like most gymnasts using now, she would control the landings and have her deserved gold medals for 2004- 2008 olympics! Such a shame!

[@lauragifford807]

It blows my mind that she didn't start gymnastics until she was 12 years old. She was absolutely incredible. The trailblazer for today's Brazilian legends.

[@healthandwealthdiva]

Kathy Johnson also started at 12. Amazing what both gymnasts were able to accomplish after 6-8 years!

[@alexzjay]

How annoying that they stay SILENT until she makes a small mistake.

[@wongyokeshim3033]

Daine dos Santos is a powerful great gymnast..I love her routine alot

[@99smv]

these commentators are awful. she has two very unusual skills that they dont bother to name and they only point out the obvious : out of bounce! i cant believe they are actually paying them

[@Rodriigoreis]

Totally agree.

[@p3drolessa]

Eles tavam torcendo contra. Rebeca se vingou já...rlx

[@saragrant9749]

The reason for that was those out of bounds were important to her score- they cost her a medal!! You can have all the unusual skills in the book, they don’t mean a thing if you can’t control them!

[@tfelling3230]

It was great to see.that as soon as she got off the floor, although her coach wasn't right there, both Shawn and Yuyuan were there w smiles and hugs for her. Great comradery and sportsmanship.

[@tatilalima2874]

MT boa essa série. 25 anos nas costas e trabalhando ainda MT bem ❣️❣️ sempre rainha.

[@josealmir7973]

Simplesmente espetacular o mesmo poder que a Simone tinha com 15 a Daiane tinha com seus 20 e poucos anos não tenho nem uma medo de falar que cocerteza foi a ginasta que mais inprecionou o mundo por que a ginástica estava saindo de flexibilidade para poder na época dela enfins ela é foda

[@jujugomes22]

nossa garota fantástica e Absoluta!! nossa menina de Ouro!! saudades...

[@CarlosHenrique-rc1qk]

As acrobacias mais difíceis ela acertou, as mais fáceis ela saiu do tablado, mas ainda sim ela é incrível. 😻😻

[@kevenmarciano4920]

Pq ela era potente demais . Sobrava força quando acrobacia era menos difícil . Isso que fez um duplo esticado de 3ª passada, algo difissilimo ( hj muitas não fazem DE nem de primeira )

[@moncsa80]

the commentators are so pathetic... only pointing out the "mistakes" but can not belive they do not appreciate the difficult skills . Those tumblings were simply amazing. Though i expected more choreography, dancing with this music the whole exercise looked like a bouncy fittness thingy not really artristic. But again those passes were pure WOW!

[@saragrant9749]

They did appreciate them, frequently remarking over the years how powerful a tumbler she was. The reality here was those out of bounds errors were significant- and ultimately cost her any shot at a medal.

[@Joubert1963]

Daiane ainda brilha!!

[@ericyu2270]

Yep the Beijing crowd sucked compared to London. They only cheered when the Chinese were up. Not that there's anything wrong with cheering for your home athletes, it wouldn't kill you to scream a little during a Brazilian's routine to show some sportsmanship and appreciation for international talent.

[@eduardopansera675]

Rio crowd was way worst

[@fortheloveofcats2462]

Everything was better compared to Tokyo.

[@saragrant9749]

You people are so hilarious- in a pathetic way. The crowd doesn’t cheer as much as you think they should- for every gymnast- you whine about it. They cheer really loudly for everyone- you whine about it. Hypocrisy much?

[@emilliieee]

her d.d is unbelivabley amaing. she deserved a medal so much

[@jhenisrhingly]

She was the best of that era

[@rubensanchezmendez4943]

i love how joyful and happy her music is

[@Davidhard]

queen!

[@saragrant9749]

She was such a high energy athlete it was almost impossible to contain. She certainly led the way for athletes like Rebecca and Flavia!

[@sportscommentaryplus4445]

Daiane Dos Santos walked so Simone Biles could run.

[@gustavocoelho9700]

Shaw e Daiane ❤

[@rawendhamid3665]

احسن لاعبة بهذا النهائي

[@romain77200]

Poor Daiane she deserves a medal

[@8SUELENPOLICARPO]

Está assistindo 2020

[@jucasincero6725]

AS DUAS ACROBACIAS MAIS DIFICEIS DE REALIZAR ELA FAZ COM PERFEIÇÃO AS DUAS ULTIMAS MAIS SIMPLES ELA SAI..... DAYNE NÃO SABIA CONTROLAR A PONTENCIA QUE TINHA, É TANTO QUE EM OUTRAS APRESENTAÇÕES ELA FEZ ESSES ELEMENTOS COM MENOS FORÇA E GANHOU MEDALHA, A PRESSÃO DE OYMPIADAS ELA NÃO CONSEGUIU SEGURAR A PRESSÃO QUE ERA DEMAIS ALI !!!1

[@ferchodekker4769]

With that score she would win the worlds 2022

[@natirasohumana]

I don't care about the mistakes, she is GOD. OH MY GOD. Her tumbling is magic.

[@kauanvital3808]

um ícone... se tivesse feito a série certinha ela teria tirado a prata da shawn johnson com certeza

[@solenlorenzy]

A Daiane poderia acrescentar um mortal para frente para fazer ligação com o Duplo Mortal Esticado, assim ela gastaria todo o impulso que resta do Duplo Mortal Esticado e não ultrapassaria a área de salto, além de ganhar uma bonificação ao fazer ligação entre DME + MF! É uma sugestão =) Acho que daria certo, um exemplo de ginasta que fazia esta passada no solo é a Mohini Bhardwaj dos USA!

[@servulofabio]

Sempre me perguntei por que ela não ligava um mortal ou um salto ginástico para evitar a saída da área.

[@batatinhafrita5947]

@@servulofabio a gente tem que lembrar que um mortal grupado faz ela perder força e velocidade, ela poderia cravar e não sair do tablado, porém, podia acontecer dela não conseguir executar o mortal esticado por ter perdido velocidade e força com o mortal grupado, seria um grande risco. Ela era muito explosiva e ia muito alto, faltou controle nas duas últimas passadas.

[@rockymcduffie8603]

14.975 with two errors... wish she would have learned how to control her landings.

[@ETphonehome89]

R. McDuffie what do you think her score should’ve been without the errors?

[@AmericanGirlGymnasts]

15.5 possibly (I added .6 to her score, both times she went out it was .3 [i believe])

[@BrianZhandGames]

She didn't control it well because she had pain in her knee and she was also having a deviation in her torso.

[@misoginainternalizadaopres7131]

She could have easily done a chusovitina instead of her double layout, and a better final pass and still have energy to do dance elements Her coaches trained her well tho, her skill is hardest than the moors in my opinion (she was the only one capable of doing it)

[@jfeathe1211]

Had Daiane's coaches put in the proper dance skills, she could have won this event with better landings. Double turns and double cat leaps were downgraded to Bs in this code, and her other leaps were too simple for her explosive power.

[@vivelagym]

@rodrigot17 "Alguns "Buuuu" para os resultados, nao bastante fortes que o pessoal acha."[falando da outra ginasta] "Agora, Daiane dos Santos do Brasil. " " É uma reação normal, nao acham?" "sim" [falando da outra ginasta] "Wo! Quase potente demais!" "Sim esse foi! Fora das líneas, décimo de ponto" "E mais uma vez.. os dos pés fora das líneas essa vez, é 3 décimos de ponto" "achei que era potente demais, sentava que ela tava no elemento seguinte antes de acabar o elemento antes"

[@intldawn]

This is true. She is an amazing athlete and there were so many great tricks in that routine they should have acknowledged. Shame, though, that she bounced out of bounds twice. She really suffers from poor landing technique, not bending her knees enough to settle into the floor. She has so much power that if she doesn't land in the exact position she will bounce all over the place. I'm surprised she still has that problem.

[@zazezul]

She had a cronic hips problem. Her femour bone had more 15 degrees of disalignmet towards her hips. Any little mistake at the landigs could just throw her out. She did a cirurgy after Beijing that took 2 years to recover... Then she tried again to go to London 2012.

[@rafasow]

pra quem teve 2 saidas ela conseguiu uma nota alta na minha opnião.

[@thesovgc]

Whoops. I inadvertently watched her AA routine twice thinking it was her EF one and wondering how she didn't get on the podium 🤦‍♂️. Silly me. I do feel that leo suited the routine so much more. It sounds silly, but a more colorful leotard for the Final may have helped her performance. This was tragic. Bless. And Elfi definitely is mirroring my thoughts at the end: "the bounciness. moving from one move to the other without really finishing the prior one." It just comes across as unpolished, not rehearsed, and lacking purpose for me. She also gives the energy of an aerobics instructor.

[@neos.herakles]

@mrpatriot83 That killed me. Same with Shatilov's last pass.

[@msms68]

do you think if she didnt step out she could of medaled

[@mrkastro5932]

Daiane tinha potencial de ter sido medalhista mas parece que em determinado momento da apresentação ela se perde até mesmo a coreografia fica sem nexo.

[@johnluuee]

One thing is that Elfie is here for it and Tim is not here for this routine. Elfie sounds like she likes it and Tim just wanna be the person who drags everyone down, maybe Santana like?

[@MrJST94]

the comentator sais..... that she goes out of bounds by her third pass and later a thenth of a point duduction............silence.......and again bothe feet out thats three tends of a point the woman sais.....she starts the next move before she ends her pass... she is huge in gymnastics.....giant tumbling passes but alot of errors... i hoped i helped you!

[@rodrigot17]

I'm Brazilian, I can not speak or understand English properly! I wish somebody would write down what the commentator said! Can reply in English that I play in the google translator! Thank you all

[@pappysprite]

Uau! Quase muito elástico! Sim, aquele era. E de novo. Os dois pés estão naquele e ele está a três dezenas de pontos. Eu vou te dizer, você era muito saltitante. Era quase como se ela tivesse dado o próximo movimento antes de terminar o movimento anterior. Grande ginástica. Um monte de cambalhotas difíceis acontecem ali, mas muitos erros.

[@raisouza6138]

Tem a prova da dani?

[@franckjones2715]

Powerfull woman!!!!!....

[@cocoroni1031]

She's born in a wrong era. Big tumblings were capped at G, the same as CE passes that are so much easier.

[@vivelagym]

@rodrigot17 (parte 2) "ginástica fantastica, acrobacias enormes, mas com certeza muitos erros."

[@backflipboy27]

@alexzjay people are always complaining that the commentators never shut up during FX's, now you're complaining that they aren't talking enough? I'd rather they didn't talk at all

[@ChristineTheHippie]

@abercrombierox3 Canadian commentary (CBC) is also good, but Americans are so biased I can't watch

[@admilsonalfenas3541]

Se melhorasse bastante ficaria ruim!!!

[@jlenardwang977]

Tim and the rest American commentor are the worst I cannot watch this since they are commenting ....

[@sallydaniel1023]

She's had that same routine forever

[@kaybay5210]

she had switched it up after 2004 games but decided to reuse the brasileirinho music in 2008

[@mike_myers]

As chegadas dela são péssimas, mas isso deve ser por causa da cirurgia.🤔

[@nycolassampaio9719]

Sim! Ela essa época já estava com o joelho totalmente desgastado ela msm disse que não conseguia cravar por conta do problema

[@Rodriigoreis]

I hate this commentators. They only talk about problems of the routine.

[@beardown3232]

shes bad

[@kaybay5210]

yet she was world champ at one point ....
