I think Wevers's routine is really different from other girls' routines. Nowadays not many female gymnasts do those mount and dismount like she does. The elements she combined in her routine are also unique. The best part is that she did it beautifully. She really deserved that gold medal.

[@chung2F5]

It is different, not to mention difficult. I got scared when she did that triple turn, but she nailed it, and her eponymous turn is also beautiful, not to mention difficult as well. The gainer salto dismount might not be the hardest but it's still difficult plus so unique to watch in artistic gymnastics these days. I love the fact that she prioritised artistry over power.

[@2008avf]

I totally agree.

[@melissa5891]

+chung2F5 completely agree with you!

[@jupiter9978]

Not so fast there Missy. This Dutch girl commited one violation on her routine here. According to the Artistic Gymnastics Federation Code of Rules, "one cannot repeat the same stunt on the beam." Miss Dutch repeated her twirls and turns THREE times and got credit for them. Apparently even the judges overlooked this obvious violation and gave her the gold instead of Laurie. I see Complaints flying off the shelves very soon and as we speak especially from the fourth and fifth placers. Heck, Laurie can file one too.

[@liaxiara2921]

All of her spins were different, so there was no violation.

[@Ballettomane]

I can honestly say that Sanne Wevers' gold was one of the most touching moments in Rio 2016. What a performance, and what a reward!

[@sam1999sushi]

Whoever says that Sanne's routine isn't difficult should try doing a Double L or a triple turn on floor. It's already so difficult on the floor. Sanne does turns IN COMBINATION on a 4 inch beam. Her mount and first skill is already an worth 1 whole point in start value. She had more difficult routines than Biles and Hernandez. She won the gold fair and square!! Well done Sanne!! 😁😁

[@ikramtarkis4044]

Some people here need to see your comment.. Well said !!

[@cheristina]

Also, she would have done an even more difficult routine if Simone hadn't made a mistake. Very calculated if you ask me. I'm totally new to gymnastics. But I loved watching it. I'm Dutch myself and I had tears in my eyes from watching Sanne. Americans have won so much. People have to understand what this gold medal means for the average Dutch girl who is aspiring to be a olympic gymnast. They now know that this is achievable.

[@ikramtarkis4044]

+cheristina You're right ! Sanne did what no one had ever done !! She really deserverd it ! I'm just happy for her...

[@sam1999sushi]

+cheristina Yes. She would've done a 6.9 start value routine instead of 6.6 . That's very smart of her!! She is so inspiring. I don't really care who wins as long as they deserve it. Sanne DEFINITELY deserved it!

[@cheristina]

Sam's KZbinChannel I loved watching all these gymnasts. They are pure athletes. I think it's really sad when the fall or stumble, because they've practiced the routine soo often and then for it to go wrong in that final moment is just sad. But on the other hand, it's also part of the game. It also makes it exciting.

[@okok-br8hb]

Routines like sanne's is what we need more in artistic gymnastics. Unique, artistic but yet somehow difficult. Artistic gymnastics has become less about the artistic part of it through the years. I hope we can see more of this in the future.

[@2008avf]

Exactly.

[@Hoehihoh]

I have to say, I disagree. I'm not an expert on gymnastics at all, but from a viewer's perspective, I prefer a more athletic and less artistic approach to the sport. I also think what the men are doing in gymnastics is more interesting to me. None of the shiny clothes or the dancing, instead just a simple and comparable demonstration of body control. That's not to say I don't like artistic stuff, for example, I think ballet is very cool, too. I just think if you want art, you should do that instead of a sport. But that's just my personal taste, doesn't mean it should dictate how gymnastics are trained.

[@moiralynnetulloch650]

totally agree with you

[@chercher304]

so glad she won

[@pulguirock]

Well, there is a reason why it is called artistic gymnastics, if you just like athleticism go watch acro, tumbling or trampolining competitions, they do much more interesting things there and they don't dance. Just from another viewer who likes gymnastics and has been following it form decades. By the way, dancers are also athletes, just go watch any class or rehearsal and you will realize how muchos effort they do. From a dancer in training.

[@M.Elle-]

@bubblewrapped Not necessarily. Sanne already had an alternate routine with much more difficulty IF nothing happened in Simone’s performance ready to go. Matter of fact, she was trying to figure out if she even need to do the triple twist while performing on beam. Sanne calculated what she needed and which routine to go with after Simone’s fall.

[@raulvega4016]

Thank you Sanne Wevers for turning back the artistry and elegance to artistic gymnastics.

[@ardianworld4129]

Sanne's routine is a history in rare beam elements: e.g. Luconi mount (Khorkina used to do this mount as well), the Okino (triple turn) and the Kotchetkova (full twisting bhs). Include her famous Wevers turn, and you have quite an epic routine, which is worthy to be named together with some other great Olympic beam routines (Liu Xuan, Shannon Miller, Catalina Ponor etc)

[@MD-722]

Not to mention her unique acro-series (back-to-back side aerials) which even in 2017-2020 I haven't seen anyone do. This is both proper gymnastics and proper sport. Creativity, originality, artistry, athleticism and strategy. *VERY* few in that quad could say the same for their work.

[@sophier5508]

Probably the best EF from these games, I was soooo happy with the outcome. Wevers did an amazing job and Laurie Hernandez was just top notch. Glad to see Simone could still get a medal, she is human after all :)

[@cleogirl82]

[@sebagalindo9622]

Sophie R Simone should have not got a medal

[@SuAva]

Exactly this! Very happy to see Sanne win gold, both as a Dutchie (first Dutch female gymnast to win individual Olympic gold) and as a gymnastics lover (seeing more artistry and elegance still winning gold in this day and age). Aside from my own fellow countrymen, I like the USA girls the best. I've been following Laurie since the US Classic and have been in love with her personality ever since, what a great girl and a much deserved silver Olympic medal! And aside from that, Biles is such a legend in the sport I would've gladly granted her every single gold medal in every single event in every single competition. But it was nice to see that in this case Sanne won the gold and Biles still got a medal even with a fall

[@SheaNDamon1829]

I disagree about it being the best final only because the rest of the field was a bit of a mess. Simone really shouldn't have won a medal with that routine, but no one else hit cleanly enough to take it from her. I was hoping Flavia would break into the medals, but she had a very shaky routine. The top two routines were amazing, but I enjoyed floor and bar finals more.

[@garyj79]

Catherine - I can only take it your related to Simone or a groupie as you 'repeatedly' call anyone who congratulates Sanne on her victory as 'stupid' or slag her off on her other vids - NOT everyone loves Simone's style of gymnastics you do know...........and no, they aint stupid because unlike you, they don't love Simone ! its called an opinion

[@teddy9770]

I love that her routine is so different to all the others. It looks much more graceful and gentle. It reminds me of the old days in gymnastics.

[@FerKzrs]

Vera Caslavska would be proud of Sanne. She often criticised that gymnastics had become less artistic over the years. The best part of Sanne's routine is that technically it is just as difficult as Simone's but definitely looks much more beautiful and artistic. Well done!

Sanne was amazing. Her triple turn was nearly flawless and it's as close as I'll get to seeing Mai Murakami's quadruple pirouette at the Olympics. Lol. Her routine was BEAUTIFUL, and it had the "danceability" that many beam performances nowadays just shurg off. Back in the day beam was such a beautiful spectacle because it had risky skills AND artistic beauty. A lot of that has gone off the tracks.

I think the results of this final were very fair. From a judging perspective, I see a lot of issues with Hernandez positions on many of her jumps and to me Wevers was very artistic, had difficult skills, and executed them well with confidence. I like Laurie's attitude, but Wevers clearly had something very special that day on the apparatus. You don't see routines like that anymore, she dared to be different, and good for the Dutch legacy of gymnastics.

Korbut was extremely athletic and daringly innovative bringing extreme acrobatic tumbling to the sport! Sanne doesn't sommersault off the high bar or balance on top of it. She is nothing like Olga Korbut. She is closer to Ludmilla Tourisheva.

[@aashisharibam4946]

You can see Aliya Mustafina in the audience with that signature eye shadow not paying attention to Simone and Laurie's routine lol she seems busy talking with Oleg Vernaiev. And Lieke is like so anxious watching Sanne. Lastly the shocked face of Martha Karloye when Simone almost fell 😢

[@joelle4844]

sanne wevers' beam routine was so delightful to watch !!

[@pappysprite]

I wish the commentator would say "The Okino" when Wevers performed the triple turn. It is no easy feat and Betty Okino paved the way and deserved the recognition like any other named skill.

[@twy611]

so how about the other 5 routines? these athletes didnt get onto the podium but they all deserve respect.

[@crystaldoherty8791]

The whole competition was shown on the app

[@YouTheMine4ever]

well if Simone hadn't messed up, Sanne would've done a more difficult thing in the beginning which would make her D score a 6.7 which wouldn't necessarily mean that Simone won...

[@brendamg7296]

No one said they don’t deserve respect

[@Kimberly-wt1nu]

Wevers: double turn with leg elevated. Cameraman: Let me zoom on her face. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@lisastiles1408]

The Dutch gymnast, Wevers, was a delight to watch, both on the beam, and as she received her god medal. Well done!

[@taniamezaleiva2776]

Im here once again during the Olympics games Tokyo 2021 and stil dont get over Sanne's performance. She made it beautifully, although now it's different :( anyways i am a big fan of her

[@haljordan3028]

i was so gutted for her when she didn’t make the beam final, it hurt a lot

[@veroniquecoeman2830]

I love the routine from Sanne Wevers and so glad she got gold!

[@xintongbian]

I've already watched it a thousand times before realizing the olympic final's pressure, and the balance beam is such a precise game. How much composure and calmness those girls must have? I get nervous speaking in public😂. chapeau

[@911madza]

15:04 cute little Maroney's "not impressed" face from Biles on the podium xdd *just shows how adorable she is, puts a smile in my face

[@2008avf]

I never thought maroney's face back then was cute, I find it rather disrespectful (she lost the gold fair and square) but I like biles, I do think she is cure

[@alishax9202]

Maroney made the face for a split second and the cameras caught it, it's not like she was doing that face for the entire ceremony.

[@treebear8364]

+Ara Flores ugh...barf

[@NYCBlonde]

What? No, she didn't.

[@ThePerchance]

Sanne is breathtaking. Absolutely gorgeous unique and beautiful. Ballerina on the beam.

[@theincredibletwinkie]

I love the humility from NED! Sanne is so classy and elegant! All three are wonderful but Sanne deserved to make history for her country!

[@karinaquintero5324]

I never get tired of watching Wevers' routine. Sublime! looking forward this year worlds. Sanne and Simone again!

[@vanessakim6890]

im crying over here even though i've watched this video before, i just don't know how wevers kept it together when getting the medal... to work so hard and achieve over america for a small country must have been overwhelmign my goodness

[@andyde1809]

To watch again and again!!! Finally some real beautiful gymnastic here from Sanne!!! The power is not everythig, this is a lesson for Biles and Hernandez!!!

[@patriciawere1252]

Considering where they are now, I think they're good.

[@aliciamcdonald7105]

@@patriciawere1252 You bet. That 'power' has taken Simone to more world championship medals than any man or woman and has made her overall the most dominant female gymnast the sport has ever seen. As for Sanne, she has struggled to reach anywhere near those heights since. Loved her routine at this Olympic though and truly was happy that she won.

[@Janellabelle]

Oh wow that was the Netherlands first medal on beam and it's a gold too? Aw that's nice! Makes me smile. It was a very beautiful routine. Reminds me of something Shannon Miller would have done back when I first started watching gymnastics. Very classic yet modern as well is the only way I can describe it. Congrats to the Netherlands they deserved it! 👏👍

[@Karltonx]

finally a full video thank you so much for uploading.

[@cesarmirandaabreu6091]

sanne wevers, she"s what gymnastics and a gymnast should be all about. I also love eithora thorsdottir"s routines.

[@alcuardandclaudekickass6037]

Netherlands (Sanne) Routine was SO beautiful to watch!!!!

[@zahedah80]

Sanne has my favorite beam routine ever

[@e.i.3077]

They could've cut through the wait for the scores and included a couple more routines...

[@LadyMelena]

This was the event final, there were no other gymnasts performing.

[@LadyMelena]

One after the other you twit, not at the same time. They only have 1 group of judges for all 8 athletes so they perform one at the time. There are no other routines to show during the time the judges calculate the score.

[@LadyMelena]

Estefanía Izaguirre It's a KZbin video, so users are free to fast forward through any part of the video they do not find interesting. There's no need to condens video's when shown through a medium like this. Some gymnastic fans enjoy seeing the gymnasts interact with each other or their coach during those waits and don't want these parts cut. That's why there still there.

[@Tigerkem]

I think she means they could have uploaded all 8 routines instead of the 3 that won.

[@sabrinabelz7160]

@Sco2B In my opinion Sanne had the perfect mix of dance and acrobatic skills. Maybe it's because she's doing lesser known and lesser performed skills that so many people can't recognize or evaluate them. She had the most difficult mount (E) when all the others just hop onto the beam. She did 2 side arials, a front arial and a full twisting bhs for the acrobatics (all rated D or higher) and then 2 of the hardest spins in the world in the same routine!!! No one else does these turns because no one else can! So dont worry, it wont be like rhythmic gymnastics because besides Sanne no one else can do it. She is simply unique and not at all boring (to me at least) :D P.s: A true fan of rhythmic can of course tell you that Rita, Yana and Ganna placed 1, 2, 3 in rhythmic aa! But you need to be interested in the sport in the first place. For example, I have no idea who won the tennis event in the Olympics because I couldnt care less about that sport, no matter how entertaining these athletes may be. But rhythmic is the greatest to watch to me, while great acrobatics seems to be the best for you. It's all about personal preference ;)

[@A2daM2daZ]

i've never thought turns were so pretty. normally turns are where even the best gymnasts either lose points or straight up lose balance. i had no idea who she was until this event and then i was blown away

[@gy9402]

Excuse for being in wrong focus but I somewhat found it amazing to see that Aliya and Oleg were sitting together at 6:31 and the one next to them was Alexander Alexandrov LOLLLLL

[@astronomicale]

I noticed that too lmao

[@stpnb]

And Daria & Seda are exited for Sanne but they are so serious watching to American's girls

[@lavashu1916]

Sanne’s beam is amazing. So artistic and unique. American gymnasts don’t even think about artistic gymnastics it’s just them doing flips and nothing else. Hope we can see more gymnasts like sanne.

[@zachd6537]

Such an amazing gold medal performance

[@notnek202]

Congratulations Sanne your beam routine was beautiful, Stylish, unique!!! Kenton from the USA

[@av3r3st24]

the 2nd girl(NEA) was so elegant x3 she did amazing and deserved gold! xD I was honestly rooting for her

[@timluo5760]

I just can't stop watching Sanne's routine. It's mesmerizing

[@abilestial]

Wow!! Wevers definitely deserved that gold 😍😍😍

[@justnui]

Sanne deserves it. Love her turns.

[@CountryCowboy008]

I love Lieke at 1:20 how she looked devastated at Simone's "fall" even though she's her sister's biggest competition haha

[@jorgebonilla2234]

Wow, Hernandez's extension was just to die for. Haven't seen extension on beam that made me react like that since 08 Nastia.

[@imkelute]

So Proud of Sanne Wevers i love her soooo much💗

[@brendamg7296]

Seriously, how amazing is Sanne ! She deserved this medal !

[@atne3484]

Her triple spin is the most beautiful move on beam I’ve ever seen

[@RoseAllDayyy]

This was the perfect example of smartly working the Code of Points to personal strengths. Still so thrilled with this podium.
