[@germaniums2611]

Madelynn Wilson that’s not difficult but well done...

[@thefloweracademy1367]

ameliec_22 it is for some people!

[@lacismithvolleyball2643]

meanwhile I’m 12 and and are training only for level 8

[@sarahbarnes2904]

You would be a level 10 I think in the JO system

[@heartbreakistemporaryswagi5033]

I think so too

[@pengpengclee]

Ou!! that's great to know!!

[@stephaniehunter4893]

But this is her first national championship

[@addisonelyse4351]

Flower Cat lover for real national championships for jo, the first one u can go to u have to be level 9 or 10 or elite

[@paulinacastillo6510]

Sarah Barnes same

[@violetg6023]

When you watch college gymnasts and they only get a 9.600 your like: omg they did so bad. When you compete and you get a 9.600: Omg I ddI so good. Lol

[@mindikruse6938]

You poor thing, I cannot believe you even competed like that. Such a trooper! I do wonder whatever became of said grips...curious.

[@pengpengclee]

right! It's so crazy how I still have no idea what happened to them!

[@owhite7478]

The grip thief!!

[@smiski1]

Honestly I’m exactly like you I HATE telling my coach there’s something wrong I would of done the same thing :p

[@itzgabz8604]

Omg do one meet I forgot my grips at home and then I didn’t know so then when we got to bars looked for my grips and they were not truer so I started crying oh yeah and this is at states and so I had to use my teammates grips that were a size 3 and I’m a size 1 so I had to compete bars with someone else’s grip two sizes too big and I thought I had an ok routine and then I got a 9.600 and then I just started crying because I was in shock of how good of a score I got

[@eunxiioa1473]

Atleast you got to use grips when I forgot mine I wasnt able to use grips at all and someone on my team where the same size

[@chc94]

OK - no "worst bars routine" story, because I wasn't a gymnast. I do have my "most unnerving figure skating" story... skating in Switzerland, my teacher there talked me into doing the exhibition, it had some famous skating folks in it (the Protopopovs, Russian pair who invented the death spiral). This rink held probably about 1000 people, don't know for sure, never counted seats. So I'm announced, I skate out and take my spot. Music starts, off I went! As I was skating, not really thinking (thank you muscle memory), I hear "CLICK! POP!" Silence... the music shut off. No idea what happened, no one was near the cassette (yes, CASSETTE, this was the 1980s), but that music was OFF. So... I just kept skating, thinking "OK, let's just show off and have some fun with this" and about 30 seconds (LONGEST 30 seconds of my LIFE) the music came back on! And the best part? I didn't miss a beat! The music started right where it needed to be! I finished my program and the crowd went wild.

[@nikorucupcake2499]

Omg I’m a skater too and this is one of my nightmares 😬 u handled it good

[@poop4912]

THE TITLE THO I RELATE they wouldn’t let me change the bar setting bc mine was different from the rest of my team, HOW IS THAT FAIR???

[@Elong.]

You were so teeny tiny! I first saw you competing in Brazil and I wanted to fly out there and tell that crowd to leave you alone! 😂 Btw-Nastia was your age and fell on her bars release at her first nationals. You both turned out to be pretty great gymnasts.😉

[@narcissamalfoy2666]

I was so scared you would slip mid-giant in the first clip

[@sarahpannacciulli7258]

Well this is wayyy not as crazy but on beam I had a jump series split wolf jump, and my feet kept landing sideways so I did my split jump three times before making the connection. That was my first skill

[@alennaholden808]

Hi, I'm 10 and in level 5 I think you would be a level 10 in the JO system

[@liv2024]

Once I was in the middle of a bar routine and kicked my coach in the face

[@josieburton860]

i don’t have a crazy story on bars but i do on beam... i was really good at back wall red in level 5 but this was my first time competing one. i warmed up and they weren’t bad but weren’t my best. i was last up so i was a little cold but not bad. i got up and in forgot to arch in my back walkover because i was so nervous. i have a video and my mom in the back gives this huge gasp and it is hilarious. but i got back up and did the skill again perfectly. i love watching that video of me just falling flat to my back off the side of the beam. i was super young so it was a long drop

[@mayp.3453]

Little story time I was at a meet and My teammate forgot her grips so they made me give my grips to her. She was little and my grips were way to big but they still made her warm up and compete in them. I only got one turn in warm up and then it came my turn to compete and there was no water so I had to wait till they refilled the water and then as I was competing, I went to jump to the high bar and I got flat doweled (it’s what I call when you don’t get the dowel on the grip over the bar but instead you get on it) it prevented me from having a full swing (I stayed on the bar when that happened by the grace of god) so I was at a complete stop and so I tried to get another swing which I did but it was small and made the kip (it was a rough kip) and yeah I got a 7. Something I believe and if my score was higher I would have qualified for state ( I did the next meet. Also this was level 4 JO)

[@allison2287]

So story time! One meet, my team started warmup, and we were struggling. I hadn’t vaulted that badly in a very long time. Our coach was like, “What are you doing??” My friend told us, but not the coach, “When I hurdled, my foot hit the floor. We were using a mini tramp and only doing a handstand flatback from the horse onto a tall mat by the way. So one of my other coaches was like, “Something’s wrong” She made the people at the meet flip over the tramp so she could look. And if I remember correctly, like half the springs were completely missing. The people at the meet took them out because they were poking the gymnasts’ feet. My coach made them get a new board for us.

[@chrissyquinlan7177]

I am 11 and I am pretty sure you would be lvl. 9 or 10 in the JO system lysm!

[@emilykaemerer7391]

Your a level 10 because only 10’s have releases. Usually. I’ve never seen a level 9 with a release move

[@pengpengclee]

ah this is great to know!! thank you !❤️🐧

[@emilycosgrove1656]

I'm training level 9 and have lots of friends who have competed it and we do releases but they are transition releases most commonly high bar to low bar and vise versa.😁

[@emilykaemerer7391]

Emily Cosgrove yeah. But I meant things like releases staying on the same bar.

[@tianarohe1463]

During my level 7 state meet one of my grips ripped in HALF with 1.5 min left in timed warm ups and I had to compete with a teammates extra grips that were 2 sizes larger than mine and very flimsy (mine were hard bc I used a tonnn of water)

[@charlotteputman3625]

This happened to my friend at our provincials a few years ago. She forgot her grips completely and she had to borrow mine but my grips were two sizes smaller than hers.

[@pengpengclee]

oh no!! ahahha good thing she had your grips! ❤️🐧

[@alexandriaeisenberg1718]

I completely slipped off the bar while doing a clear hip and fell on my coach. I still feel bad. My worst bar story tho was when I missed my one foot on the bar while doing a squat on and I fell forward and your natural instinct is to put your arms out so I put my left arm out and it didn’t end well. I completely freaked out and started crying because like why wouldn’t you. I went to the ER the next day after I couldn’t move my arm and they said it was too swollen to see anything so then I had to wait for the swelling to go down. Turns out I had fractured my elbow. It wasn’t a fun day.

[@kayteleonard7980]

Once I had a terrible beam routine where I literraly fell on the easiest steps. I feel like we all have had those rotines

[@jennboulay6250]

I pinged off and did a fly away (non intentionally) to my back trying to jump to the high bar (my worst fear on bars). At another competition, while going to the washroom I got my grips stuck in my leo and because I was first on bars, my coach had to tell me to hurry up! 😂 I remember watching you compete at Elite Canada so long ago and my gym club came to your gym to watch you all train 🙂 when I was younger I wanted to be like you as a gymnast!

[@ameliarose5333]

Wow that was impressive bar routine for 11 years old!

[@ansleygreer990]

My grip ripped in half on the bar in the middle of my routine at state and since it was in the middle of the routine, I wasn’t allowed to change grips, and so I tried to keep going but flew off the bar and didn’t qualify for regionals😂😂

[@pengpengclee]

WHAT!!! ahah they wouldn't let you change your grips! hahah thats a great story! 😂🐧❤️

[@wendycohen3906]

That is so sad!

[@hannahhawley6288]

Someone definitely took your grips

[@gymnasticscat9681]

i feel so bad for you!!!!!! i would hate it if that happend to me

[@oreoo61]

You’d most likely be a level 10. Level 10 requirements are One flight skill that is a minimum of “C” value (excluding the dismount) (Geinger -D) A second different flight skill that is a mimimum of “B” value (excluding the dismount) (Toe Hecht - B) One skill with a longitudinal-axis turn that is a minimum of “C” value (excluding the mount and dismount) (Forwards giant 1/2 - C) A minimum of “C” valued salto dismount (Double layout - not certain) Aswell as 3 “A” rated skills, 3 “B” rated skills, and 2 “C” rated skills. With vault aswell... Tsuk tuck (9.4 SV) Yurchenko layout (9.7 SV) So you are most likely the equivalent of a level 10 gymnast on bars and vault. If I’m wrong on any information, please correct me and I will change it to avoid spreading misinformation.

[@pengpengclee]

wow thank you for explaining!!! this is awesome! ❤️🐧

[@oreoo61]

PENG PENG LEE After watching your floor and vault, I could probably give you a more accurate guess. Great video as always!

[@juliannaw7846]

I had a disastrous beam routine. I fell three timesand on floor I MISSED my back tuck in a tumble ;-;

[@mollygordon3752]

Juwi Duck I’ve done the same thing on floor at one meet I did a high backhand spring and I fell on my back tuck and then the next meet I was so scared I didn’t go for the back tuck

[@marniebc]

Luckily this was only in practice but I was Jumping from low bar to high bar and someone jumped on the bar so I slipped sat on the bar flung round backwards and hit my head on the floor btw I love you sososososo much xx

[@averygymnast5157]

Kristina Vakulik is a owner of my gym

[@gymnasticscat9681]

btw you crushed the second bar routine

[@jordynafua2068]

That one dislike is the one who stole your grips lol

[@pengpengclee]

ahah and we will never know what happened to my grips 😂🐧

[@brookebettner2589]

Hi peg peg Im a gymnast and at one meet the bars where so close together I barely caught the bar and you are such an inspiration! ❤️

[@nonudenails-kd8xi]

First off, she got a better score the first day with 3? falls than I did with 2, and second...I did a straddle back to ny face once AND managed to pull a kip out of it🤦 I'm pretty sure the judges were horrified😂

[@y_ani]

i swear she makes my day better just by smiling and being hilarious 💕

[@kalin7366]

My crazy story on bars is I was in level 4 and my second meet my first part of my routine was great until right at the end the last skill before the dismount I fell off the bar from the back and I put my arm down and I broke it. Then I did not get to complete level 4 the rest of the year:( Btw now I am better 😂

[@jadebusch9855]

i was on the zoom with you today !!

[@pengpengclee]

woooo!! ❤️🐧

[@patriciaboadu2120]

Someone stole my leotard before my nationals

[@WatchMeBeTay]

My craziest story not that crazy but once when I was warming up vault my toe somehow curled under my foot as I was running and I tripped and face planted into the spring board. My leg hurt soooo bad when I competed my 2 vaults, I was lucky it was my 4th rotation and was done after that. The meet was 2 hours from my town so we stopped at a gas station on the way home and got ice so I could ice my leg in the car 😂 I ended up scoring an 8.5 I think

[@pengpengclee]

oh no!!!! I've definitely tripped in my routine too😂!! thanks for sharing!! ❤️🐧

[@dej01]

i remember i broke my foot on beam during a meet but i still had to do floor and i somehow did that :(

[@Jasmine00054]

Her:I’m so Archie Me not even know how to do a handstand...😐😬P.S. their is no hate in this comment I love you’re Chanel

[@llunaserrats998]

*me being a level 4 at age 11

[@katieconforti3741]

I think that would be level 9 in jo but it is kind of in between

[@Alyssa-lz5hr]

I think you would’ve been a level 10 in the JO system! I don’t have a crazy story on any event (at least that I can remember) but in my first meet ever I forgot to salute after Every. Single. Routine. I’ve watched the videos before and just laugh at my younger self for that 😂

[@pengpengclee]

oh no hahaha I did the exact same thing! I completely forgot to salute too! ❤️🐧

[@wendycohen3906]

At my third meet ever I forgot my beam routine while competing so I made something up. I think that I did pretty good job improvising.

[@PGaziba]

So nice to have an inside scoop on competitions' bhs. Keep it up!

[@catherineleal9106]

my story wasn’t as bad... It was level 4 state and my grip folded really bad when i jumped to high bar and i didn’t cash at all and my score was a 9.1 THEN THEY CHANGED IT to a 8.8 and i was really upset

[@pengpengclee]

aw man!! that must have been a tease for the scores!! I've had it in my bar routine too where my grips folded! ❤️🐧

[@ermwhatthesigma098]

I fell on beam 3 times and still got a 7.7 (I’m level 7) and then before that I could have gotten like a 9.7 or something on floor and beam like srsly 😖

[@mattfukuda1223]

Little Peng...bounced back for Day 2...what a difference the grips make...quite the journey from those first national championships...to the perfect 10s at the NCAA championships...amazing story!

[@pengpengclee]

aha grips are everything for bars! thank you for watching!! ❤️🐧

[@pigfigjig]

Such a gorgeous guttsie little girl. Make a me cry. Winner winner winner.tha girl gets chicken dinner.

[@myadale1731]

But did you tell your coach afterwards about the grips situation??

[@islaflynn7165]

at my levle 5 state meet i got a 6.2 on bars

[@shannonwyant7659]

Isla Flynn yeah bars are my worst event

[@KaraokeMusicSports]

Your videos are so entertaining Peng Peng.

[@ogeugorji8483]

Def lvl 10/hopes but no I don’t have a crazy story!

[@sandlot90130]

Hi from Manitoba Canada

[@tidalvii8640]

I feel like you would be a level 10 and maybe even Hopes

[@erineliseharris]

i think in the JO system you would be level 9 but you might have been level 10

[@robertrincon3590]

i sure did,you did that 😎💯

[@jezsquare579]

My crazy meet story my state meet bronze season I did a perfect warm up on beam and was going first. I got on the beam and it dropped cause it wasn’t tight enough... very scary

[@katekramer7679]

Literally my nightmare

[@elliotzaep]

you would be level 9- 10 in the JO system

[@sydneygoldstein116]

I think you would have been level 10 😊

[@andrewiremonger3782]

Level 8+9

[@sydneyfreeland404]

You were like a level 10 at age 11🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@AV-ih7zk]

6th!

[@loreleikelley5307]

Love you Peng Peng

[@eunxiioa1473]

I think you would be a level 10

[@-sela]

Level 9 probably or 10

[@dancerlilah7214]

I think it would be a JO nine or 10

[@BarenakedCanadian]

I'm on an adult team, and we compete in Masters competitions. One of my teammates broke her grips right before her bar routine at the last meet, and she just went without grips! (this lady is in her 50s) She'd had the same grips for the past 15 years, haha.

[@pengpengclee]

oh no!!!!!! thats wild ahah! ❤️🐧

[@wildsis3405]

I mean for a 11year old you did great

[@lylahMoon13]

I fell on my squat on at state..

[@edkilpela226]

100 percent you were a level 10

[@jasonburkman2626]

i did bails when i was 8

[@miguelangelmf7853]

The one to follows her, get her. I miss training. greetings from Spain

[@ginayang6019]

Luv U Peng Peng

[@iris2cool]

Hiiiii

[@rollercoasterlou8070]

u would brob be a elite level 9 or 10

[@owhite7478]

I’m pretty sure you were a level 10 because you did two release skills and level 9 now you would only do one (by going to high bar) and a lot more other skills you did.

[@carisagraziano2138]

It could be level 9, for 9 USAG you need two releases or direction change

[@owhite7478]

I thought it could be 9 or 10 but I get what you mean you technically are correct

[@fishie5833]

You would be level 10

[@louismaltais2926]

The first one is Laurie-Eve Pepin-Gagné from Quebec!

[@madisonfisher9008]

Hi Peng Peng!! You are so inspirational and I love watching your videos! I am a level six gymnast

[@lmartinez3633]

You fell with style...nice second day

[@pengpengclee]

ahaha I thought so too 😂😅 thanks for watching ❤️🐧

[@Alice-sb7wp]

Peng can u talk about u in perfect landing I was watching it on CBBC and was shocked to see u as the presenter

[@pengpengclee]

aw I haven't even see it yet!! I'll have to record it!! ❤️🐧

[@edenrussell2924]

Omg one time I fell three times on bars lol! I fell twice and then I wanted everything else to be perfect so when doing a sole circle dismount I casted so hight that I fell over the top lololololol

[@gamingwithdr8878]

Hi

[@johnson4940]

👍

[@talkthroughtime4176]

What gym did you go to? I go too GLC and I am a level 4/5

[@davawatson4820]

For states I fell on my face and hit my shins on the bar

[@jadensweeten3005]

I broke my ankle on the dismount of my bar routine

[@tcmayes8012]

Poor peng your beautiful!!

[@christopheryoung6880]

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be competing in the JO stream. You'd either be Aspire or Novice :)

[@christopheryoung6880]

Marieke Dufresne very good point :p I’m not familiar with the USA high performance stream. I’m assuming there’s a parallel pathway to the J.O program. I’m not confident that it goes from level 10 to Junior; however, I could be very wrong haha

[@mariekedufresne53]

The JO program is Level 1-10 then comes elite. So if you follow the Junior Olympic program you start at level 1-10 then go on to Jr elite and Sr elite if you want to go on to compete for your country at World events and Olympics.

[@mariekedufresne53]

I think I deleted my earlier reply by accident! Anyway yes she’d be level 10

[@mariekedufresne53]

Christopher Young YES IT GOES FROM LEVEL 10 to JUNIOR ELITE! You are beyond frustrating! I know the USA program, and yes that is how it works!

[@carolyncristofalo8379]

i once did a fly away and hit my leg on the bar😵

[@brodypenn]

Please react to floor next!

[@hney_bxba1571]

Who else live in BC?

[@gigisimpson3915]

You were a level 10

[@Aliflips2025]

Level 8i think

[@iancastegnaro4935]

Hi Queen 👑

[@alinaalemany]

Why do I feel like every time she reacts to her younger self she says she's so small?

[@pengpengclee]

ahah omg I realized that too when I was editing 🙄😂

[@ginayang6019]

Plss give me a shoutout

[@loreleikelley5307]

pls can i have a shoutout
