[@Brenttyboy]

everything is great in the world when Shannon Miller is the commentator.

[@LatinFratGuy1]

i agree! im rewatching these again with nothing else to do at home :)

[@queenofnevers6990]

So true. She's extremely likeable and always kind and caring towards the athletes

Oooooooo

[@xinru8368]

Oooooooo

[@JennaLeigh]

At 44:53 you can see where at some point, one of the gymnasts drew a little happy face in chalk on the mat. That's such an endearing little reminder- these are strong, incredibly tough, seasoned athletes.....but they're still young girls. 🎀💖🖤

[@Olympics]

Great point! It's very important to remember that

[@saragrant9749]

I just noticed that! Definitely a cute little moment for someone.

[@celine2048_]

Maria Paseka was so cute when she had to touch the bars and salute :3

[@ericyu2270]

Had Komova done that vault in the AA, she would be olympic champion.

[@queenofnevers6990]

When Shannon's saying "look at that form 😍" about Vika's sheep jump in slow mo. I FEEL IT ❤️

[@magounify]

If you really are a "lover of gymnastics" you would know that Grishina had an excellent junior career and a rocky senior first year, but she's a fantastic gymnast who had a bad competition.

[@sophiejaycolt4374]

I feel like komova was a wonderful all-around contender! She just had a rough olympics

[@saragrant9749]

Grishina was amazing, just at times I felt unlucky. Her beam was one of my favorites- simply because she had some truly unique connections. I only hope she’s proud of that silver medal, as it was well earned.

[@chicdiet]

Russian team was so sweet here, I adore those girls so much and miss these olympics!! I love Grishina sm the most.

[@laurennicole5604]

Aliya and Viktorias relationship 😍🥰

[@vlove562]

The talent at these games was very, very special. Idk if any other olympics has been able to top it, honestly.

[@kaylajones4356]

In my opinion, Aliya's still the queen.

[@ellenmiller6632]

Kae Kae Jones Totally agree, and she is so beautiful!

[@lucianoestebanfloresmonsal7701]

♡♥♥♥♥♥♥× +×=÷ que me ha gustado mucho y de los equipos jdkr la verdad hrs que no hará falta de visión del mundo de la vida y la de la vida de la empresa y realizar una búsqueda con la que te quiero mucho eso no te preocupes si no me gusta la

[@tekkenfan01]

It was great seeing all the gymnasts happy, smiling, waving and jumping. Russia especially. Much different from team final though. Only USA was happy, smiling and waving. Poor Yao Jinnan. She had a bad day here and didn't get to compete in AA final.

[@saragrant9749]

Yao was unfortunately nursing a hamstring issue, which very definitely affected her. Very disappointing as she was a fantastic AA competitor.

[@kirstyevensen7557]

Love Shannon's commentary. ❤️ She is so positive and eloquent. xx

[@kaylajones4356]

Aliya's double arabian stag was explosive

[@chrismartino3519]

sui lu straight ninja on that beam

[@brandozy87]

I absolutely love the Russian style, so beautiful. I love that move Grishina does when she does a cool, elegant spin @ 14:33. It makes me smile :)

[@hOllyrObertson11]

I WAS THERE omg front row! it was the best day ever, such incredible gymnastics!

[@syrilwayne]

How much was the ticket, if there's any?

[@hantingchen5497]

the camera angle on he kexins UB routine blew my mind, the fluidity and accuracy. Wow.

[@kaylajones4356]

Watching this again for the feels. Rio is next week and so much has changed.

[@jimmylaw3715]

mummy in china flagship

[@Sarahhh818]

Komovas body and style reminds me so much of nastia

[@deadpool1996]

Well Nastia was born in Russia

[@honeybunny8118]

aliya mustafina made the double arabian look so easy

[@daylindavillapezn.y.2905]

Marla Hulac

[@kayper54]

And balanced. She doesn't feel the need to keep talkingtalkingtalkingtalking as though she had to fill every second with incessant chatter. She makes astute and brief comments as needed, just to let us know what happened here or there. It's like she just lets the audience sit back and enjoy the show. Very refreshing, really.

[@sashakuroso7629]

I just realized Komova's fx music contained an excerpt from the show must go on by queen. I'm like 6 yrs late though

[@faeryquene]

Actually, Oksana was 38! Her birthday is on June 19. She turned 38 last year before the start of the Women's Gymnastics Team Qualifications at the Olympics on July 29, 2012. And yes, she is a total WOW! She competed at the 1992 Olympics, the same as the lady commentator here, the U.S.A.'s Shannon Miller. :)

[@kaylajones4356]

AM I the only one who wants to do beam and bars like the Chinese?

[@fennywilts9516]

doubletwistingdoublelayout

[@chrissyjoy08]

Elisabeth Seitz does one of the best triple turns/spins on floor exercise that I've ever seen!! So controlled, so beautiful, completes it perfectly!

[@lpoco0006]

the first 30 seconds SUCH A HIGHLIGHT

[@NYCBlonde]

Poor Jao :( Such a great gymnast, you knew she was hiding an injury when she was messing up that much. GOF Musty is such a compleat gymnast! Her showmanship and dance ability just kill (in a good way) her floor routine! Love her. Seitz's full twisting gienger is insane. I wish she'd've medaled. Ideally: Musty, Tweddle, Sietz, in any order.

[@maheshunlimited]

I think it was musty telling her that she is the top qualifier, she looked very pleased with herself, that smile was sweet not cunning.

[@yellowbanana104]

Oksana's beam routine is classic! There are many skills and movements which gymnasts in this era won't do anymore.

[@amandamiller8899]

You guys should appreciate this video matter what these amazing athletes are trying to show the world what they can do and you should appreciate each one of them for their hard work and dedication

[@kaylajones4356]

Some of the people out there are biased.

[@joaquinibarra8074]

Actually this is my favorite video of Women Artistic Gymnastics in London 2012, I has 2 of the strongest teams of the competition: China and Russia. And I love the russian and german girls, specially Elizabeth Seitz, Aliya Mustafina and Viktoria Komova, because they are likeable besides talented. And I prefer the BBC commenters over the americans or any other.

[@andreibuendia2452]

Joaquín Ibarra the female commentator here is shannon miller

[@JayZeus]

Amanda Miller !l!ll!!ll

[@evelinalopez4140]

Amanda Miller .. u are right my friend..

[@Snowbunnybelle]

That sucks though that Aliya was forced to do that beam routine in the TF. She was really struggling all week. It made me sad when we were watching seeing her have that much trouble. Good on her for stepping up and doing it.

[@chrissyjoy08]

That's Elisabeth Seitz from Germany, and she did make it to the finals. She was the 7th place qualifier. (Actually placed 8th in quals, but the Chinese gymnast in the 7th place didn't go to finals because there were already 2 other Chinese gymnasts ahead of her.)

[@adamolition8702]

LOL Paseka. 52:25 "Did I do good?" coach goes "That was a perfect 10 scratch" XD

[@marklcz]

I like Sui Lu she trains very hard for this

[@suhailsiddiqui8189]

what amazing competion....BIG wow

[@rodrigoleonhernandez9699]

ALIYAAAAA!!!

[@nhlakskunene3939]

Wow. Perfect Song! We Love it!

[@JessicaRamirez-jx9id]

All the Chinese gymnasts seemed to be underscored.

[@kaylajones4356]

I agreeee,

[@PlasmicPenny]

Jessica Ramirez They're by far the prettiest team to watch and the first to suffer from the devaluation of artistry for big skills which look impressive, but that belong more in a sport such as tumbling instead of /artistic/ gymnastics. They are true purist and such nice lines!

[@kishmishkashmiri]

They just don't have difficulty on floor and vault but their execution is great

[@obviouslyme1293]

I really loved how Russian get their ranked back.

[@alyxanderson735]

Very inspiring as a gymnast

[@carlacarlacarla-]

thank you!

[@kaylajones4356]

The best of the best!

[@daisypitt7753]

They make it look so easy!

[@aidankarnal27]

1:12:03 is Mustafina telling Komova that Jordyn Wieber didn't make the all-around final.

[@obviouslyme1293]

Who s Jordyn Wieber???

[@vettegaddia6234]

Aidan Karnal Wow, that was very keen of you to notice that...

[@alexandradaugherty9600]

Alief Zahaan she was on the US 2012 Olympic team. I don't know how you don't know who she is.

[@boxoffice2137]

how did you figure that one out?! i should have you buy me a lottery ticket!

[@Arthur-ix4vd]

Komova looks happy !

[@sportletic]

Magnificent, Magnificent, Magnificent!

[@conchitavillaflor2015]

Wow good job, well done

[@teresitaquevedovazquez1154]

felicidades

[@dorkyymonster]

ugh, i love this

[@yellowbanana104]

Aliya was quite underscored on bars.

[@bonitafernandes3220]

The Chinese have little girls on the team but they are AMAZING!!!!!!! 😄😃😀😊☺️😉

[@mrsemily132]

she meant little by small😌

[@doungkamonc7762]

๐

[@katiefritzfritz3944]

So what if they have a little girl on the team

[@HaLLiEB85]

Probably because In 2008 they faked the age of several gymnasts

[@marklcz]

+Hallie Bowen They didn't fake the age

[@squrtlesswag5065]

Gabby Douglas is legit! 😘😜😍

[@LOVEUVM123]

yes,correct!

[@chrissyjoy08]

@ponyrider35 Because there were so many teams competing in qualifying, they had 5 subdivisions. Only one team (or mixed group) per apparatus competed in each subdivision. All the scores of every team in the qualifying rounds were compared, and then the top 8 teams go to the team finals. In the team finals, there are the top 8 teams competing, 2 teams on each apparatus. The mixed groups that you see in quals don't count for team score, only to get individual gymnasts into the event finals.

[@tamaraflecky6011]

Ich turne auch und der Schwebebalcken finde ich ist immer am schwersten. Saltos machen ist war für mich am Anfang auch schwer.

[@SoilaWonkaLollipop]

Canción épica de fondo *^* MUSE!!!!!!! lml

[@themoonlightgirl5515]

I.love gym

[@samsteinhofer3079]

i love the bar

[@hobbojoe097]

even with the v. low d.o.d china's floor routines are actually quite beautiful/artistic

[@scatteam92]

anyone know why some of the other gymnastics videos arent loading?

[@awesomemortercycle1]

what subdivision is romania in? I wanna see them compete!

[@lanpingpug]

I think that over the years, the sport of gymnastics has single-handedly kept the glitter hair/body spray industry in business. Especially Parkettes in the USA.

[@erinhornby370]

The fierce five are so amazing I look up to mkalary marrony and gabb Douglas they were the ones you made me want to do competitive gymnastics 😍😍😍

[@pitufina63]

you look up to their spelling or gymnastics?

[@jasmine_kye]

First of all, it's Mckayla Moroney and Gabby Douglas. Second of all, this is artistic gymnastics (I know some people call it as competitive)

[@erinhornby370]

Jasmine Kong all gymnastics is competitive

[@jasmine_kye]

+Acroerin she is of using about Gabby and McKayla so I guess she was talking about artistic instead of rhythmic

[@pitufina63]

Acroerin ever heard of rec classes? Not all Gymnastics is competitive.

[@nondescriptbeing5944]

Is that Komova in the thumbnail? God I hope she can make another comeback

[@lindanimated]

Well that certainly would explain her shocked face and then utter joy...honestly I saw that moment for the first time and said "I wonder what they're talking about!" Now I'm sure you're right :D

[@RoseAllDayyy]

grishina refused to do beam because she freaked out, plain and simple. had nothing to do with floor. it came out that her coaches pandered to her insecurities, which isn't her fault but the coaches's fault. when alexandrov spoke out about all this (in addition to other things), he was sacked as the russian national coach. she had A LOT of pressure and expectations put on her, despite not having much experience, in addition to personal pressures outside of gymnastics. she baulked under pressure.

[@emmyjo720]

Shannon Miller is fair, interested in gymnasts from all over the world, isn't biased to the US team and really down plays her own success. Not what NBC want.

[@serenenz]

do you have the division that Romania was in?

[@Stonymypony]

I think that she will try for Rio and probably make the team but she is going to have to work against her body. From 2011 to 2012 alone she grew a lot and with the time she is taking off now she could grow more. But if she wants an AA gold I think that she will have to upgrade. She not only did poorly on the vault in AA finals but also lost significant difficulty to Gabby. Those tenths really do add up.

[@sophiejaycolt4374]

Viktoria Komova is sooooo underrated

[@chrissyjoy08]

Where did you get that info from about Grishina? BTW: she couldn't have refused to do beam based on her floor performance, because beam was before floor. I don't know why they didn't use Komova on the floor in the team finals. I liked her routine in the AA. Grishina's was also good here in quals, though. And really, either way, a hit routine from Grishina or Komova wouldn't have gotten team Russia gold, with the other mistakes they already had. Oh, and I totally agree with you about Mustafina.

[@TheLadygagasm]

Viktoria Komova has done a great job

[@destiny236231]

At 52:55 my floor music plays 😂

[@josie300]

I used to have that floor music too!!

[@george39821]

I JUST LOVE SHANNON MILLER!!! :)

[@JennaLeigh]

Me too. My all time favorite.

[@faeryquene]

That's Elizabeth Seitz of Germany and she DID make bars finals. Her SV didn't fail her at all. She did well in Finals, she just couldn't get into the medals.

[@PR166lolly]

and i cant even do a cartwheel...........

[@nadjamarkov2029]

ikr 😊

[@MrRik458]

O.O Really? I didn't know about that! Where can I find more about it??

[@polycow1035]

Seitz did make the bars final and placed 6th.

[@chrissyjoy08]

It could be...but I don't really think so, since they'd probably already know that even before their subdivision started....think about how quickly that news went viral! Maybe Mustafina is telling Komova that she could be/is in first place qualifying for the all-around.

[@pakopaez]

Komova lines are ambicious

[@Snowbunnybelle]

Got it. I didn't know that she wasn't training for the Olympics. She's talented, but inexperienced. She was on the team for Euros, and she took silver on uneven bars behind Viktoria, but she had trouble on beam. I love Aliya she's a beautiful gymnasts, and honestly I don't know why people make her out to be such a devil. I mean she does have a forceful personality, but she is the leader of the team, and at any rate I admire her character. She's tough and that an admirable quality in a gymnast.

[@chidimoses3295]

[@delaneymatthews9564]
