Deng Linlin - 2008 Beijing Olympics - TF BB

[@ItsSeanzie]

It makes me so happy that she’s a 2-time Olympic gold medalist

[@Smielyb2000]

0:25 is the most beautiful layout in gymnastics history.

[@kamilaford5752]

Honestly, whether or not the Chinese girls were underage age is unimportant to me; they all performed fabulously in Beijing and deserve their gold medals. As for the age thing though, maybe someday they'll find prove of one of the gymnasts being underaged. The FIG didn't find out that Dong Fangxiao was 14 in the 2000 olympics until 2010 so they could still be investigating their ages. Nevertheless, great womens gymnastics in Beijing

[@saragrant9749]

If they were underage it SHOULD matter as it is CHEATING. Beautiful or not, rules are supposed to be followed!!

[@neophyteruss]

That layout was GORGEOUS

[@guillermojarne2803]

Ragan Smith doesn’t look like she is 17 either... she actually looks like she is 11 or 12 even though she wears tons of makeup. However, no one questions her age. So many people are racist without them realizing it...

[@pedrojorge1912]

100% agreed. Same of Saraiva or Simakova.

[@flfm6736]

Koolaid Man if you want to accuse Deng in cheating you must have ANY proof of her age falsification. Oh, you don't have it?

[@koolaidman6251]

@@flfm6736 China has multiple documented, proven cheating instances where Olympic and world medals have been stripped because they are CHEATERS.

[@jgsh8062]

@@koolaidman6251 There is NO proof for 2008, which is what we're talking about.

[@luceafarul579]

It’s not about “looks” in terms of the face but the body shape. Ragan Smith most definitely has the body shape of feminine maturation, Deng Lin Lin doesn’t here. Not only so, but the Chinese gymnasts who came after 2008 Olympics all just happened to have the body shape of 16+ years old, and the team also couldn’t perform nearly as well. This suggests that there was also motive for the underage scandal. Females’ skills at gymnastics and alike sports peak at around 13-15 of age. Which is why often junior events they compete better than senior. Btw I want to congratulate them for winning gold on BB today. Now take a look at the gold medalist Guan Chen Chen’s body shape and compare that to Deng Lin Lin’s. You’ll see a pretty enormous difference. Guan is 16.

[@zhaoyangwen2741]

She's not missing a tooth- if you look carefully you'll see that tooth is just not properly aligned with other teeth and is hidden behind other teeth. Her teeth looked the same in 2012 and she got braces after her retirement in 2013.

[@nathan10120]

Good point. Maybe she just never wore braces.

[@SBs-es3tj]

The most beautiful layout i’ve ever seen ..

[@meowitschloeee]

I love your display photo!

[@KarpfenKarpfen]

"Just that little wobble there" American commentators would have said "What a huge, bad mistake!" but if it had happend to an American gymnast they would have said what this commentator said...

[@saragrant9749]

And yet much of the scoring here was biased in favor of the Chinese. Cheng Fei won a bronze on beam- with an abismal routine that should have ranked her ahead of only those who fell. In the team finals several of their scores were substantially too high. So your comments don’t hold much cogency.

[@Mhochul]

@@saragrant9749 absolutely not. Nastia deserved execution scores in the 7s on bars and Shawn's amanar should never have been credited by judges with eyes. America was given numerous gifts cry about it

[@kras118]

even though her age was under scrutiny, she was actually not one of the 3 gymnasts who had their ages listed differently in previous registries (the three were Jiang Yuyuang, Yang Yilin, and He Kexin)

[@kras118]

not without errors, but she stayed calm and finished strongly !

You might not be able to hear it, but the crowd was completely silent. All eyes were on her. No wonder she was nervous!

[@busho]

That layout is amazing!! Great job Linlin =)

[@TheJordy456]

i think that was probably the highest tuck back i have ever seen form a person on beam wow!

[@ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@rsageeth Her front pike was tucked. On the sheep jump, Deng's feet didn't seem to touch her head which is the requirement. They look like they do on the slow-mo but the normal angle is better.

[@XLampsyyBabyyX]

they actually were16! n thats why this olympics was Linlin, Kexin n the 2 new girls Huang Qiushuang and Sui Lu's last one! so gt ur info right before commenting

[@proudpotterfan]

wow she absolutely floats her layout!

[@animalgrlz257]

at i tink 1 02? the music just started and it flowed so well with her routine!

[@czucksk84life]

that woulda been so cool if cheng fei didn't hit in quals and she qualified to finals and medaled

[@sqekcx]

incredible speed in her skills

[@youpingchen2761]

That's excellent! I wish I could do that but I can only do a tiny bit.

[@pinkmochaxx]

Yes, Deng Linlin is certainly capable of scoring in the 16s, IMO.

[@kaiyasuma1]

deng linlin is so adorable and to believe she looks 8 when she is not, she's so short, kanojo wa totemo kirei na

[@natalienat518]

i love how she dismounts

[@ilovemushrooms13]

so everytime china win something its because blah blah blah..no matter what it is they just don't deserve the gold medal..how about worrying about your own countries and let other countries be. I swear by putting others down is not going to make urself better, geez

[@saragrant9749]

Other countries don’t lie and bring athletes in that are underage and cheat other deserving athletes of their shot at standing on the podium. China- and Korea have done so and thus deserve the constant distrust.

[@saragrant9749]

China would not face the scrutiny it does- and continues to receive- had they not WILLINGLY cheated by falsifying ages of their athletes! You reap what you sow.

[@msms68]

@yueshili awww they make cute friends im happy they got to go to the olympics together and the last 2 worlds i would love to see them at the next olympics together i think they can do it they are both still great

[@KarpfenKarpfen]

I she was the second gymnast for China on BB, did Cheng Fei go first? then she must have seen her fall and must have had even more pressure on her to be good! And she was!^^ Although I prefer Li Shanshan on beam, who went last on BB for the team =)

[@jepsst]

she is so fucking amazing !!!

[@eastrun]

wow..she flew in the layout

[@xazngiirlx]

@@sgeetha7350 nope. Take a look at Chinese athletes after 2008 Olympics. Literally NONE of them has the body shape like Deng Linlin here. For example take a look at the 2020 gold medalist Guan Chen Chen. She was 16. Take a look at her body shape and compare that to Deng Linlin’s, you’ll see a significant difference. Yes Asians are smaller and slimmer, but a mature woman’s body shape can still be seen.
