2020 TOKYO OLYMPICS: *people gather from each country* Coronavirus: ...hehe

[@alisonsingewald3529]

the final one is posted on olympic channel but despite claiming to have subtitles, it doesn't. Therefore we all wait and watch on youtube. Can you please fix this on the Olympic channel?

[@isabellaworster7714]

Can we just take a minute to appreciate how Morgan Hurd’s glasses don’t fall off

[@irenebirgita]

She uses strap glasses

[@flannelsandsweatpants]

THIS IS ALL I EVER THINK ABOUT

[@Kimberly-wt1nu]

🤓

[@carliecole2563]

@D Leo I mean.... I'm totally a fan. But I've definitely had this thought too!! Hahaha

[@chocanewt37]

But even though she has straps, is dangerous to wear glasses! I’ve wear them for almost 20 years, and if you fall on your face, the could go into your eyes!!

[@GymnasticsWorldWide]

I am so jealous of Whoever is honored to have this job. Imagine traveling the world documenting fantastic gymnastics all while experiencing all the great gymnastics at the same time. Sharing their stories to people who do not know much about them to not only gymnastics fans but the whole community. I would love to do this one day

[@sorenpx]

As an aspiring filmmaker, I was just thinking about this. I would've been ecstatic to have been able to create this and show it to the world. It's very well made.

[@1chienandalou]

Great points! But keep in mind, that person is imaginary. It literally takes a village to do something like this, or any complicated things humans do... documentary filmmaking, science, music, or gymnastics .. :))

[@Capulet89]

Morgan's "it's such a hate-hate-hate-love-relationship" is sooo relatable!

[@winnifredfredrickson6418]

I. Wynn Wynn I’m pretty sure that was an exaggeration haha. If she didn’t absolutely love it there’s no way she’d put herself through all that to reach her goal.

[@chimiw3311]

6:46 caught my attention, because I know that meeting your family after a long time and seeing your little sister being shy in front of you hurts. She's really brave for choosing her way and working for it despite the sacrifices she had to make

[@Phizzo4real]

“Fefe” I cried so hard... Chinese, Russian, American, French it doesn’t matter emotions are universal. The stereotype about the Chinese program is surreal. Lots of glass shattering in my head. Never thought I’d be one of those.

[@williamt594]

anyone else think it's weird seeing the gymnasts drive? I mean I know they're 17- 19 but it's just strange?

[@fatimacruzhernandez3087]

I drive since I'm sixteen and got my temporal permission, not strange at all

[@williamt594]

@@fatimacruzhernandez3087 no I know it's legal obviously! It just seems weird to watch the athlete's compete so long it's almost strange seeing them do everyday things like drive a car.

In most states in the US, kids can get their learner’s permit at 15 and earn their full license by 16 if they progress fast enough.

[@kumrumir8072]

It was sad when Yile's baby sister looked at her as if she was a stranger at first. And at the end of the vid she doesn't want her older sister go then Yile says "k come to gymnastics with me then" and she runs away screaming... Lol i laughed but it was still kinda sad:'( Best of luck to all ladies but especially to Chen Yile who sacrificed so much for gymnastics

[@kavirparthab5211]

I felt the same...

[@emilymanta960]

I simply can't wait to see more of this serie- it is so inspiring and powerful! I wish there was more than just 1 episode per month! It would be very cool if you did it for some other sports as well, like RG, swimming, track and field... And the girls, it's like we have 3 contiments represented; America, Asia and Europe! The only bad thing is that the episodes last only 15'!

[@Olympics]

Hi Emily, we will have some "bonus videos" to add to the episodes. Plus, stay tuned on our other channels (@olympicchannel on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter where there will be more content too!)

[@sorenpx]

Agreed that the series is very good, and also agreed on other sports. Karate will be debuting in the Olympics in Tokyo. Why not do a similar series on karate? It would be great.

[@tommasofedel9215]

[@lpoco0006]

and she hurt her ankle :(

[@emilymanta960]

Agree... It was heartbreaking that her little sister was seeing her like a foreigner at the beginning...

[@llow1170]

That's the reality for a lot of Chinese, athletes or not. Most have to leave their families in the countryside behind to pursue a better life in the cities.

[@mohamedhazem9072]

@ciara beth I didn't say I am sure of that I just said DREAM podium .. However , my dream podium is so much better than having simone and one other boring american gymnast for gold and silver and having a bronze medal gymnast which is 10 points less than simone's points.Simone is dominant but very boring and robotic.I personally prefer the russians over her.They are more artistic.

[@fiona8117]

Dude in china it’s actually pretty common for those girls to leave their families to do gymnastics, but literally no one talks abt it like its a big deal. They understand that they gotta sacrifice to achieve their goals and whatever.

[@elizac.2271]

These were the European Games. Sort of like the Olympics but just for European countries. This was the second edition (it is organized every four years, in the pre-olympic season, so 2015 was the first time). Melnikova did very well here, and won the all-around. Also, it says 'european games 2019' on the banner in the video, so I am sure that's it. EDIT: it also explicitly says so in the video when Melnikova's bars are shown
