Karrissa WIMBERLEY (USA) - 4th place World Championship Twirling 2012

[@dueyventure2935]

Twirling has changed alot since my days of fun!

[@megancleary5985]

She is my inspiration to keep twirling (:

[@king_of_dreams7655]

Did you keep twirling?

[@TheAbbyTwirls]

Karrissa!!! Amazing as always! Such unique material and so fun to watch twirl! She is a twirler that make this sport what it is! Thank you for sharing!

[@angrybirds123raa]

1:23 trick is amazing!!

[@TheTruthIsGonnaHurt]

That was the moment, that I realized size is a illusion. We have been taught if you are that large you are slow, weak, and graceless. Clearly, that is a lie.

[@luvmesomedmbg]

TheTruthIsGonnaHurt I was always heavy set....and I was awesome....it’s all about PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!!

[@floho7808]

For a women her age, she is a legend at baton twirling.... she is soooo amazing!!! The music also matches her style😍

[@aquafina2u]

Awesome! Twirling sure has changed from when I twirled. It used to be about 4-finger twirls with right and then left hand, fishtails, and other maneuvers I can't even remember their names. It was more about the twirling than the gymnastics. Back then, we didn't have to learn splits and cartwheels. We left those to the cheerleaders. It has turned into a sport.

[@hollywilmore9689]

I watched this a day after Australias Baton Twirling Nationals, I won most of my eventz buf when I compair my winning routine in Aus to a 4th placing routine in the world comp its kinda crazy

[@cooldogs26]

She is so amazing and such an inspiration. So happy to have been taught by her at a clinic :)

[@s01joner]

Woah this is beyond amazing! Especially this twirl: 0:41 This whole time I was thinking that this looks like the Sailor Moon transformations and shit... Kinda hard to believe that the human mind/body can actually do this.

[@chynavm2803]

How did she only come in fourth though? She was amazing.

[@huckfin4750]

Just Chyna because the 3rd,2nd and 1st were better and more amazing than her.

[@Starry_Night_Sky7455]

I'm going to look for my baton now. :-) That was amazing.

[@enolavanscherpenzeel7959]

Bonnie Hundley i did the same😂❤🌹👧💃

[@kathykeithley207]

Just saw this video. Amazing! Skills & elements have come along way since the 70s & 80s! Found you on FB. Congrats on soon to becoming a mom!

[@lexinetterville4428]

I am a beginner twirler, and I am obsessed with the sport! I would just like to say about this video that her double arm rolls were AWESOME! I am not as flexible as other twirlers and can't do an illusion at all but I am just mesmerized at her flexibility and her solo above all! I LOVED IT!

[@hihezz]

Wow!! I just bought my daughters batons and I was trying to find a video to help them understand how to use them. This is the first video we found. BANANAS! We are EPICALLY impressed!

[@looloobear9709]

I wanna be just like this girl

[@PaisleyParkGirl]

I did lots of baton twirling when I was little and won many shows but this is just EPIC! WOW! Such talent and skill!

[@spiritoutcast9087]

As a person who as always loved watching baton performances(there's no batons in my highschool so I do colorguard), I always think they are so cool and amazing and I've always wanted to do it. I'm considering buying one.

[@TheAbbyTwirls]

Wow! Such creativity! So inspiring!!!!

[@makaylakennedy3008]

Awesome.............. Just Awesome!!!

[@kyrakrystal5887]

SHE DID A FOOT DAB!!!!!! Ultimate

[@kyrakrystal5887]

Wow.. I’m so amazed! I just had my first competition and this is just beyond my ability 🙀

[@tickledtealthestacheaj7284]

Karrissa plz vedio your hunger games routine!!!

[@kiera2867]

Dang, that's talent.

[@RonWylie-gk5lc]

If she was 4th how high is the bar???< fantastic to watch

[@michelleputs2196]

Wow she's so good! What's the music?

[@megan5616]

Michelle Puts I don’t know the exact cover but I know that it’s a cover of Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes

[@rebeccaflint6678]

I love this routine the use of posture and enjoyment of the routine is astonishing she is my inspiration

[@Melissa0774]

She should go on America's got Talent.

[@snorgisborg2]

Wow this was 4th? I wanna see 1st place.

[@brennamiller7354]

I only wish I was that good!!!

[@Thecoolcalikid]

What’s the version of this song??!!!!

[@flamingkarismaminho1319]

[@viperette73]

That was AWESOME!!!!!!!

[@leasoulard8029]

elle est douée elle merite son titre !!!!

[@paige5417]

I do majorettes and I have been doing it for 6 years and it’s quit easy once you know what you have to do

[@ericacreelman5382]

Omg Amazing!!

[@hunnybunny6801]

I would have attempted one twirl and blacked my eye! Wonderful skills!

[@mckinzieclark2689]

And shes my techer also

[@luvmesomedmbg]

I miss this sooooo much!!! I wonder how old she is here...I was told after 25 you couldn’t compete which is probably why I let it go at the age of 17.

[@venancefortunat]

His tuck is amazing.

[@amandasvendstad6581]

venancefortunat It is a women.

[@kimconley3782]

venancefortunat I was just thinking the same thing!!!

[@marielesieur748]

Trop forte

[@sylviecatellani4952]

Extraordinaire!

[@spootboy123]

White Stripes - Seven Nation Army (pretty sure)

[@mwbright]

You turn off the sound and put some Rockabilly over it, and it turns into something altogether different. Try "Mama Guitar" by Andy Griffith. It is wild.

[@morganemilanesio]

bello!!

[@smiles4gracie]

AND THIS IS A FOURTH PLACE. WOW

[@itz_britanny4506]

When she did those illusions I was like-

[@delphinetwirling6992]

trop forte j ai jamais vu ca

[@calistnway]

I was watching A Face in the Crowd and wanted to see the advances contemporary twirling had made. Answer: lots!

[@rae.rachel]

Keep Twirlin Girl!!!!

[@zaidavaladez1829]

What song is this

[@Distr069]

+Zaida Valadez seven nation army-vyienne long

[@zaidavaladez1829]

Thx

[@erin4167]

I just saw her last week and her baby’s so cute???

[@TheTruthIsGonnaHurt]

She is scary ! I am shocked a women of her size can move that fast. She is very powerful and graceful. While more slender women need to generate speed to complete more difficult moves, it seems like Karissa can just power through many of the more complex moves because of her muscle mass. Women with size you should take note, its all about the right state of mind. You are weak and slow because you believe you are. Karissa doesn't suffer that problem.

[@catinabox3048]

She's not big enough for size to be of any hindrance to her movement. She might be bigger than the typical elite gymnast or ballerina, but let's be honest, elite gymnasts and dancers are very thin. If you see this lady outside of a leotard, she won't look big at all. I mean, it's not like she's actually fat. Her body is very proportional and her stomach doesn't protrude, so that speaks very normal-sized to me.

[@leonorerbl2872]

T trop fort

[@leonorerbl2872]

Forte

[@thehardrockhippie7118]

Holy crap!

[@kiyaliterally]

okaayyy white stipes

[@malinchoneska8554]

She could use those move with a double bladed light saber and become a Jedi Knight, or sith.

[@HumanStateOfEmergency]

I can barely catch my broom when it's falling

[@leadewannieux]

elle merite mieu que sa *-*

[@whatho85]

IMO skills = 10 athleticism = 10 butt = 10

[@kendallbetts3672]

For anyone that thinks baton is lame...watch this

[@Staeve.]

It's still hella lame lmfao if anything it made me think it's even lamer

[@imjustacamel4190]

@@Staeve. In what way is it lame?

[@KiwikDesignDIY]

Elle arrive a avoir que la 4 eme place avec tout se si !

[@emmaholveck3479]

[@samaramccauley736]

[@sarahjane3206]

Samara Mccauley I'm a twirler and when you have songs like this you can't smile that much😭

[@kennethlucas7473]

[@yaphace]

Ho-ly shiiit. This bitch is GOOD!

[@AztecWarrior69_69]

Whoever did that White Stripes cover murdered it.. It fucking sucked.

[@plurallove]

damn they have championships for baton twirling now? ahhaha

[@jennalynn3850]

Plural Love whats so funny about that lol

[@isalyne1717]

4eme? C'est une blague quand meme parce que la numéro 1 avait illusion souplesse mains retourne illusion. C'est nul compare a 2tour triple!

[@bigguy44able]

Ce n'est pas jugé que sur un seul lancer... Et la japonaise dont tu parles a terminé 2ème. Regarde bien la vidéo de Tomoe Nishigaki qui a fini 1ère en 2012 et tu verras que c'est mieux que Karissa Wimberley!

[@Ashnkksmom]

I think the little girl who was on the Ellen show could blow this girl away. Sorry not impressed

[@victoriamcfad1431]

the little girl on the ellen show was a joke, there are other girl her age that are 120% better than her... you obviously have no idea what your looking at

[@mashka2299]

Why is she so big?

[@revolutionstwirl]

Because she's an athlete with lots of muscle!

[@mashka2299]

Revolutions Twirl​ Athlete? She's a dancer. Or maybe it's a man. And they say that russian girls take dope 

[@social_awks1583]

Мария Шинкарева Baton Twirling is a sport, that you need to be an athlete for to do big tosses and heavy movement. The fact that she is 'big' is perfect

[@LauraBidingCitizen]

Мария Шинкарева What do you think a twirler is? That’s the equivalent of saying a ballet dancer isn’t an athlete. What a crock of crap. A twirler has to be a dancer, a gymnast, an athlete & a ballet dancer all combined, not to mention the coordination skills, perseverance & patience of a saint to practice for days / weeks / months just to perfect 1 move. Don’t comment or judge on a sport unless you’ve ever experienced it. And certainly don’t comment on a woman’s body behind an anonymous little KZbin account. Speaks more about your own insecurities than anything else kid.
