Gymnastics Olympic AA final 2000 part 01

[@ajimenez1719ify]

Lobaznyuk is my favorite gymnast of all time....she really was ahead of her other team mates....underrated totally

[@KP-gx1rm]

Hahahaha the fluff at the beginning is AMAZING. Like, Elise Ray just casually chillin in a field with daisies. Gold. It's nice that they did it for other countries too.

[@JoaoZamae]

omg i wanna hugh Ekaterina Lobazniuk and tell her she will always be the best and cutetest gymnast of all time, no matter how many medals she has.

[@37tonya]

You have gotta love Ekata presentation on floor. Great tumbling and awesome presentation and dance. She is also very cute.

[@Beccka]

Poor Ekaterina Lobaznyuk. One of my favorite gymnasts, but her career was so short. She just needed a little more experience!

[@tchachinafan]

Katia´s floor is heavenly, so wonderful

[@Cmc995]

Ekaterina held it down for her team when It was needed. Strong gymnast

[@liukin95]

ekaterina lobaznyuk is a great dancer :P

[@vitorhugosantana7053]

A balance check literally used to take you out of the medals, now you can make big mistakes and still fight for gold. Komova, Mustafina and Raisman all had BIG mistakes in London.

[@maddilew15]

Katya's music was Hava Nagila, same as Aly Raisman's (though different versions).

[@jeffy5482]

to be fair, if Amy performed to her potential, she could have challenged for the bronze. Unlikely, yes, but certainly possible.

[@shussein94]

Lobaznyuk was the second highest qualifying Russian and the fluff completely ignores her

[@jupeter24]

I know, she was so underrated, amiright?

[@dippy135]

Cheers to the member who recently posted the BBC version of this final. I've been dying to see it for ages.

[@prncesskarleigh]

Seeing the stories of the Romanian and Russian kids is truly inspiring. They overcome so much more to achieve what they do than American kids...

[@finfelagund]

Thank you much for this, it was very missing because we only had particular clips which cannot illustrate the atmosphere of this most dramatic AA. One should see it continuously, from the beginning to the tragic end.

[@smittysviola]

You mean the commentators? The commentator during the fluff is Al Trautwig. The other 2 commentators are Elfi Scheigel (greatest Canadian gymnast ever) and Tim Dagget (Olympic Champion in LA '84).

[@Kcones88]

I just want to scream "RAISE THE VAULT!" at my computer screen! What a disaster :(

[@angeliastone-tolcher2386]

Prodonova and Zamolamjakova fathers would be very proud. They are both all time greats.

[@alexzjay]

And she still ended at 5th. Not too shabby.

[@rfillangi]

I love how they make a big deal about Amy Chow's mistake on beam but they never show her again. Yet they show all 4 of Elise Ray's routine's eventhough she fell on vault and beam.

[@Lovememore231]

poor Amy, she was often overlooked.

[@tomsk14]

Imagine having to continue as ekaterina.....you know from the first pass the dream of your life is over..and youve gotta continue all day....

[@reclamantul]

I love Lobaznyuk. She was such a sweet person.

[@aaamf18]

love nbc fuff..talk about teary

[@comanecisalto1]

elena prudonova is so badass

[@michaelsy4865]

Back in the days when literally 10 girls has a shot at the olympic all around gold and a fall can kick you out off the medals. This is more competive and much more exciting!

[@Kiiroihana-e5s]

0:17 I'm Japanese and I only understand Japanese, so I made an English sentence with Google Translate. What is the name of this building on the right? Earlier, strangely enough, I had a dream that looked exactly like this building. It's an old video, but I pray to God that someone can give me the answer. By the way, I love Robaznyuk ❤️

[@jamesbug2002]

lobaznyuk's music is very interesting...i wonder what that is ...

[@rotciv2008]

yo no hablo ingles pero garacias por subir estos videos gracias muchachaaa90

[@lillucylu45]

thank you thank you thank you

[@NevaKeuroglianSullivan]

Lobaznyuk reminds me of macaulay culkin. What a cute little gymnast :)

[@bigbennie96]

Produnova was so tough makes you wonder if she really had an injury or if it was the old school Soviet way sad disposing of them as quickly as they produce them.... again sad

[@dippy135]

By any chance does anyone have the BBC version of this final, please? Cheers. I did this last night, but somehow, it has been removed.

[@Beccka]

Halva Nagila, a traditional Jewish song sung at celebrations.

[@kras118]

But the vault wasn't low in the team competition.

[@Davylp]

Anyone know where I can watch the full team final NBC version?

[@reclamantul]

She still is. I meant the foor exercices...

[@roch202020]

Seeing so many nasty routines makes me realize how truly amazing it was for me to see Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin competing in Beijing, it was majic! To me, Shawn Johnson is the best! Go Shawn, I can hardly wait to see her compete in London 2012! Go USA!

[@HepburnLove2526]

go watch the 1988 all around final. you'll see a real competition there.

[@skiergirl131994]

They just didn't show her.

[@MrEdgar6360]

quienes eran las chicas del equipo estadounidense

[@NYCBlonde]

It's true. The USA certainly didn't embarrass themselves that year--they got lambasted in the media, but watching the team finals, they did quite well on bars and decently on vault. They made some mistakes, but so did Russia. It came down to--they just weren't as good that year and 4th was about where they should've been. They didn't have the depth & they had some injuries and it all added up to 4th place. You're not always going to have a Mag 7 team.

[@jupeter24]

well, the got upgraded to bronze now that China was DQ that year for lying about their athelete's ages.

[@claud281188]

what do you mean by that?? "romania has nothing else to offer "

[@czucksk84life]

oh, why did Al have to jynx Zamo after bars!!?!?

[@ajimenez1719ify]

Back then, the step out of bounds wasnt really catastrophic but in today's code of points it is. Now they count a deduction for the step as well as the technical error that caused the gymnast to take the step.

[@ajimenez1719ify]

rene ruiz i guess it could go either way. I have also noticed that the commentators didnt really make a big deal about deductions like this back then, but now, its always like "ok thats it! She is out of it!! That was catastrophic!"

[@eb7446]

I don't know, they've probably just gotten more dramatic. It's true you lose more points now - but in the open score system how much you lose is relative to what your overall scoring potential is. Like when Biles could take a 5 tenth deduction for a huge bound forward and out of bounds on floor and easily still win.

[@alinutza24]

they are so rude that they are taking the medals off like that,so full of yourself,it makes me sick.

[@HepburnLove2526]

uhmmm russia had like 4 MAJOR falls in the team finals how the HELL did they get that silver medal? i mean i watched the event but i can't seem to remember how they got it. it seems impossible to win an Olympic medal with that many falls

[@shushunovafan4301]

Did you read or understand the code?

[@sktzn6829]

That's the thing. A normal team would be out with 1 or 2 falls. The Russian team was so good that even with 4 falls, they managed to place 2nd. If they had fallen 1 or 2 times less, they probably would've been gold, which is why Khorkina was so angry.

[@jupeter24]

They drop the lowest score for each event, so for each of those falls - only one fall counted. They fell twice on balance beam, so they had to count the highest of those.

[@mmoran3]

so like who cares about the commentater? its all about the gymnasts but this is not a usa happy performance but if you like international gymnasts this is your shit

[@moontje1979]

The silver was an insult cause at the 2000 AA something was wrong with the horse fault . It was to low and the reason why alot girls fall while they normally would score high like Svetlana . When you lose cause of mistakes ,it can feel as an insult . Do note that those russians fight harder and more to make their nation proud of them . So to the nation the silver dosn't count . in other words those girls let down their country .

[@jupeter24]

I just found out, they get pension in Russia if they win the gold. So, it would have also been good for them financially. that's too bad, but 4 girls fell in the competition.

[@angeliastone-tolcher2386]

Svetlana would have won if it wasn’t for vault

[@dariachamanskaia6350]

Zamolodchikova Elena pazor gimnastiki!😢

[@prncesskarleigh]

@NYCBlonde Hey "blonde"....your screenname says it all. How is that the same logic? How many Americans have faced persistent persecution or insecurity?

[@ClevelandTigersVB5]

yea and what else -_- im not romanian and i even found that offensive

[@violaroadkill]

they were disgusted by their performance.

[@jamesbug2002]

i bet the jewish viewers are happy that their music is used in gymnastics a lot..i know i would be..!

[@monicaming3272]

水霍摘掉银牌的动作真是婊气深重

[@NYCBlonde]

@prncesskarleigh How do you know? Lame comment. By this same logic all the Soviets sucked because their state system paid for everything during their training. Just appreciate the gymnastics and don't get worked up over what you imagine to be their context.

[@mikebarnes9471]

That's an ignorant statement.

[@eugvh18]

Elena she a good gymnast but not a great one
