No one should ever boo at a gymnast. It doesn't matter who your rooting for, all the woman try very hard. All these girls were AMAZING!

[@sarahelizavoldy]

@Sally Vee Which is essentially booing Raisman.

[@crazy4orlando2]

I always hope everyone has their best performance and are scored fairly. It doesn't matter what country they come from.

[@CountryCowboy008]

@@sarahelizavoldy no, your logic is flawed. They're booing not because Raisman's score is 15.6, but because they feel like Ponor's performance was underscored.

[@sarahelizavoldy]

@@CountryCowboy008 I wasn't saying that, so don't go there. I'm saying Ponor's fans booing simply because they thought Ponor should have won is essentially booing Raisman. And it is because the mindset is about wanting your favorite person to win, not execution. Ponor did not deserve gold, even though she has amazing lines and is a great gymnast.

[@CountryCowboy008]

@@sarahelizavoldy again, it's flawed. Wanting someone to win doesn't always mean that you don't want the winner to win. Of course they will root for Ponor, she's a legend and what she has achieved is a feat more than getting a gold and, during that time, she's the most recent gymnast to have won 3 gold medals in a single game (only bested by Biles in 2016 with 4). So yes, they're not "essentially booing" Raisman. Because if you believe so, then you should also say that Raisman is celebrating that she kicked Ponor out of the podium during their tiebreaker in Beam Finals. Would you say that?

[@bbhouk1]

I have so much respect for Jordyn after rewatching this Olympics. As the reigning world all around champ, she had a reasonable expectation for this Olympics to be her moment. Even when she failed to qualify for the all around, she pulled together a great performance for her team in the team final, and was incredibly supportive of her teammates in the all around and event finals. Even in this final, she still stands here cheering for Aly because she knows Aly can win, with no hard feelings about Gabby and Aly keeping her out of the all around. Jordyn did her best, and the two per country rule screwed her. But she was a great competitor with some truly fantastic sportsmanship. Compare her attitude to Komova's (during team, all around, and event finals), and there is truly no comparing their sportmanship. Aliya was the Russian's sportsman, and she outshone Komova because of that. Medals aren't everything, and the behavior of several athletes at these games really showed that. Kudos to Aliya and Jordyn for their well deserved golds and sportsmanship under pressure, and congratulations to Aly for this floor gold.

tbh it's just nice to see a comp that isn't all about Simone. I love her but it's nice to see so many other gymnasts get recognition and compete for the gold instead of Simone basically being handed the gold medal before she competes. When Simone competes there is literally a 95% chance she will win unless something crazy happens like in Rio when she got bronze on the beam. She is an incredible gymnast that deserves the recognition she gets however I feel like all gymnasts competing in huge competitions deserve recognition because what they are doing is still astonishing even if it isn't at the level that Simone is

[@Sergio_Gomes474]

lauren boughey well said, 2016 was definitely one of my least favorite olympics because everything was all about simone. she’s an amazing gymnast don’t get me wrong but she has difficulty like no other coming in and can basically win by doing a cartwheel and saluting. the 2020 olympics should be interesting because there are so many new gymnasts coming in and winning world titles. i’m curious to see if that one will be somewhat close to 2012 :)

No offence, but Americans have ruined gymnastics. Their routines are such an eyesore, IDGAF about difficulty.

[@valeriaconcepcion4482]

I always loved the perfomance of Jordyn and Alexandra. Aliya is amazing too. I love them

[@quirkygirlboss]

Aly's amazing performance is at 10:58, I just love coming back to it, everyone else was so talented as well

[@nothingiseverperfect]

Came because I wanted to see Raisman but wow 14:49 Catalina was absolutely fabulous to watch. She is amazing

[@kuraudiu]

the russians and the romanians are so beautiful to watch on floor

[@sarahjeanw]

kuraudiu because they actually train in classic ballet

[@royalscam5877]

kuraudiu I agree. And the Karolyis are right - Most American gymnasts are fat, short (legs & body), stocky. They look heavy & muscular: Raisman, Wieber, Sacramone, Johnson, Peszek, Bross, Sloan. Ross, Maroney & Liukin are on the slender side. Liukin is Russian by ethnicity hence her slim built.

[@karmicobsession1636]

RoyalScam none of the people you listed are fat. But not everyone can be Russian not everyone can be born with that kind of body. They are all simply working with what they’ve got instead of pretending to be what they aren’t and it’s actually working for them.

[@mallorymallory1518]

RoyalScam stfu. How dare you call those beautiful women fat. This is why so many women are insecure. BecAuse of bullshit people like you calling them fat when they are not

[@miss.vickies]

yeah for sure! Those two European countries kill it on floor!!

[@susandilaudo9534]

6+ yrs later and Mihai's fist pump during the replay gets me every time. Aly's leaps, her form, and those killer landings here were the best she looked (IMO). Dont get me wrong, what she did in '16 was unbelievable, but this routine is my fave from her. Stellar. Also, this routine was masterfully choreographed for her style of gymnastics. Perfection.

[@withlove312]

Some of these comments make me wonder if there is some vendetta against Raisman. She was the best, no question. Insane difficulty + Great execution = Clear winner. If anyone was overscored it was Mustafina (9.0, wtf), and I say that as a Musty fan.

Lol she's American. That's the vendetta

[@juliamcgowan.recruitment]

Lol that is the only reason they need to hate on her

[@tiffanylyons4474]

Julia McGowan unfortunate. You cannot be mad at the athletes in a program who are taught and coached and conditioned to do the hardest routines, the most reps, the most sets, and being at peak physical and mental readiness. The rest of the world needs to step up. We will see in 2020.

[@RubyRo]

I really enjoy Kseniia's style. Too bad she didn't do all she's capable of. It would have been nice to see her medal.

[@ibeeblessed2161]

After watching the trial, I have a new respect for Ally and our women! What concentration they have!

[@Summonearth]

Aly had a higher start value than Catalina, Aly did her floor exercise pretty well and Catalina's performance wasn't exactly perfect either and that is why Aly had a higher chance of winning the gold medal. Why don't people get it? Just because Catalina's performance had more artistry doesn't automatically make her the winner. People claimed that gymnastics isn't all about the acrobatics but gymnastics is not all about the artistry either. I wish people would understand that.

[@jfm14]

This! Artistry matters and I agree there's not enough of it these days, BUT it's only one aspect of gymnastics. This debate is so played out.

[@Avatargeek23]

Aly's routine amazing that opening pass was steller!

[@quirkygirlboss]

Raisman was incredible but Catalina Ponor's performance was mesmerizing 🤩

[@shae8951]

I love how at the beginning (when they're being introduced) the two Americans wave like "Hey mom, I'm in the Olympics!" and the other athletes are all business.

[@federicapiottoli6922]

That's even funnier after learning about Aly's mum remark about parents of Olympic athletes 😂

[@donaldholderdoc2910]

Perhaps the greatest lineup of 8 athletes to ever compete for a floor exercise Olympics championship ever! All 8 names of these ladies are synonymous with female artistic gymnastics greatness today. If I had to put together a 'dream team' they would all be on it.

[@mpspenguin]

And then there's me, who does a forward roll and feels like a pro.

[@22zooley]

La elegancia de Ponor y Mustafina está muy por encima de las piruetas y acrobacias del resto, es lo que hace a la gimnasia artística: ARTÍSTICA

[@22zooley]

@EliasCoronado-lm8qr lo dice Elias de 36 años del Estado de Morelos que en su vida ha hecho ejercicio.

[@ilirvelja56]

E vertete

[@ilirvelja56]

​@EliasCoronado-lm8qr Ponor nuk ka kthesa te tmerrshme por salto shume te bukura.Por Raisman ne pamundesi per te realizuar saltot e veshtira perdor nje truk qe nuk penalizohet duke u kthyer menjehere pas saltos.

[@nipaipo36100]

the american was impressive. but my heart went to ponor. i found her perfect. can t understand 9.00 for execution...and what a longevity for an athlete! imagine she was olympic champion at floor and beam in 2004 and silver at floor in 2012 and still european champion at beam in 2017!!! she is incredible

Alexandra Raisman from the U.S.A was amazing. So was Catalinas Ponor and Lauren Mitchell.

[@rachiejw]

I feel so bad for Sandra Izbasa. It was such a clean gorgeous routine up until that last pass, she could have easily taken silver or bronze but she got last just for that one mistake.

[@allyboo4687]

Guys! The difficulty matters to! Stop hating just because your country didn't win

[@jfm14]

Exactly. The nationalism in the comment section of literally every gymnastics video is unbearable.

[@danrabkin3401]

If this were a men's competition no one would complain about Ally winning despite a lack of artistry. They are athletes, not pretty little dancers.

[@Inyourlap]

But they are girls and rules are not the same so that comparison is quite stupid.

[@shushunovafan4301]

A woman is not a man, they are quite different I assure you.

[@LauraEvers-hv2ou]

Dan Rabkin it's still called 'artistic' gymnastiscs, sweetie

[@vanessal1734]

Yes we all know it's called Artistic gymnastics but it's changed over the years and is such a physically demanding athletic sport. Don't hate on me but honestly, I don't care about the dancing or artistry. People now understand how hard this sport is because of the focus on the amazing skills they do.

[@zain4019]

shushunovafan So what is a man? Robotic? Ugly? Bland? Unexciting? Clumsy? Stiff? Seriously? I’m a guy and this whole female/male thing where men are hunking balls of meat that aren’t capable of artistry or grace and women are nothing but little ballerinas with less of a drive for acquiring advanced skill has to stop. Let people be who THEY want to be. A graceful man? Why not? A women who excels most in sheer technique? Sure. A mix of any of them? Yes. Let them do what they like, male or female.

[@rufuspipemos]

That first pass is stunning, even now, 12 years later!

[@gracepickering7281]

Aly certainly deserved the win with the code and her d score, but Ponor. Wow. No one can deny that her form, artistic quality, and attention to detail was the best of any competitor

[@l0velyquiet194]

all the people In the comments kinda ripping Aly apart bc they think Ponor's routine was better and she should have won. Don't understand the difficulty aspect of it. Ponor didn't do nearly the kind of tumbling Raisman did. She had a gorgeous routine (despite the crossed legs in the double full she did) her dance skills were great. They even said it no one had the difficulty that raisman did. Period.

[@samanthaxhope]

I could watch Aly's routine over and over :') She so deserved it! No competition.

[@jojox9791]

You are 100% accurate!

[@jojox9791]

maxencebeaulieu sorry but YOU are wrong. No one had a start value close to Aly. They all knew it. Don't insult people when you are clearly wrong and uninformed

[@jojox9791]

maxencebeaulieu and her triple twist was ATROCIOUS

[@theonly1likeme]

Aly was so smart. She watched what happened to the other gymnasts when they landed in those corners and how overly springy the floor was, and she stayed far away from the corners so that she didn't go out of bounds. Not only did she win off of talent, her wisdom played a big part. Update: In fact it looks like others followed suit. I feel bad for the first two performers. The others probably had their coaches warning them that they needed to adjust.

[@Triple_Y_turn]

They all competed on this floor in qualifications and most of them kn team/all around finals. They all knew. However they can't always stay away from the corners, depending on the length of the tumbling pass

[@daddyshark3415]

Didn’t have the difficulty, crossed ankles in triple, leg separation in double pike and too long of pause for connection with back tuck. Aly ate her up on difficulty and execution. Ponor’s routine was great but not gold.

Both of their routines were clean on all four passes but both gymnasts had form issues. The difference between gold and silver came down to the D-score.
