Aly Raisman TF Floor Exercise + Fierce Five Reaction to Gold - London 2012 Olympics

He’s the type of coach, along with Chow that the sport needs more of- encouraging, tough and inspiring for their athletes.

[@volodymyrdolia6544]

​@@saragrant9749that was Bella Karoly, not a personal coach of any of them and pretty much founder of the abusive environment along with his wife that brought US gymnastics to decades of abuse. He's yelling and ruining routines at every Olympics before 2012, as always, needy and desperate for attention. NO ONE needs more coaches like him.

[@saragrant9749]

@@volodymyrdolia6544 that coach was NOT Bela Karoli, but Aly’s personal coach! He IS the type we need- encouraging, persistent and dedicated. Get your facts straight before speaking, I’m well aware of what those two frauds the Karoly’s did to the sport.

[@lunabelletheinsane]

@@volodymyrdolia6544 Bela isn't even on the floor at all so you wouldn't have been able to hear him if he did yell because he is in the stands, and he hasn't been on the performance floor since the 2000 or 2004 Olympics - he was at the camp and was part of the coaching team leading up to the Olympics, but officially, at the Olympics, he isn't part of the coaching team. Even Marta isn't on the floor. The yell was from Aly's personal coach who is at the edge of the floor exercise platform, probably near the camera that captured the angle when he said it. As for what they brought abuse wise - well - that's a conversation on it's own. But the yell was Aly's couch, who we do need more of.

[@foresthart5599]

So fun to go back and see kyla and Jordan win the gold after watching them with coach Val at UCLA. Love what they do and who they are. All 5 of them are phenomenal. And now kyla at UCLA getting the grand slam in college gymnastics. She is a super hero.

[@davidbarnett9312]

Yup. Kyla grew to 5'7" and I think she has the most 10's of any UCLA gymnast.

[@kiksocks12]

Minors should never be alone in a room with a doctor. The adults in charge of USA gymnastics are completely incompetent to have overlooked that.

[@ABCScandalFanatic]

Kira Vega The crazy thing is the parents were IN the room for many of the assaults.

[@Janellabelle]

The parents were in the room. They didn't realize what he was doing was fucked up I guess.

[@darkhorseash4337]

That's flatly untrue as well. A ton of abused minors or minors who have health issues they dont want to talk about with parents present (IE being sexually active) have been helped because they were able to be in a room without their parents over their shoulders especially as teens.

[@crazy4orlando2]

@@Janellabelle he would block the parents view. The child would then have to think "does my parent know what he's doing. They must know they're sitting right there. They know right? This must be okay he is the team USA doctor." The parents feel horrible about it now of course but it was actually worse that the parents were in the room making the child think it was okay and like they didn't need to say anything. Another thing that was said is as gymnasts the girls are used to being touched by adults. Massages, stretching, treating their injuries, spotting them, adjusting their positions. So they are prime targets for abuse. Girls that did complain about him were gas lit and threatened. Other adults knew and did nothing. Team USA knew and let it go on. They were winning metals so who cares they were getting sponsorships so who cares? Whatever he's doing was working. He would give the okay for them to train and compete on broken limbs in some cases were a legitimate doctor would have told them not to.

[@bg9217]

Amazing women in the Olympics & in the courtroom. That MONSTER can never take away their courage, bravery, or GOLD!!!🙌🇺🇸💕

[@StewNWT]

it's really awful as well to think that they continue to cut and reduce the # of gymnasts on each world and olympic team. 1996 Magnificent 7 and now they are cutting the team size down from 5 to 4? Why? Why do that? Why not allow more gymnasts to compete at the highest level? the sport is cuthroat enough already

[@livolson148]

I wish there was still 7, I know who my choices would be for 2020 if there were

[@jodavitow]

It's to give a chance to countries that don't have that big of a program. Assuring success to other countries that have not been traditionally at the top means more gymnastics in the long run because the better they do the more they fund their programs and the more new girls will take an interest in the sport. The problem with having teams of 7 people is that the countries with weaker programs can't produce 7 athletes of enough level to be competitive. While there is countries like the USA that could probably send 2 teams of 7 girls and win gold and silver easy. Also having such big teams lets the bigger programs abuse specialists like China did back in 2008. 08 is actually a great example of this. If you watch that back you can see that because the teams were so big only the USA and China had the depth to build extremely efficient teams, the race was between those two countries and no one came even close. So with a team of four they are trying to force the team members into being all arounders while also having that specialist thing that let the best ones in an apparatus qualify to the Olympics on their own without a team (which also was a problem sometimes because some specialists were the best in the world but didn't get to go to the olympics because the team didn't pick them). And also is letting smaller programs have a chance at being competitive by not making them have to produce a lot of extremely good girls. It may not be the fairest solution all the time but it's sort of doing what they want it to do. It is important that they do this because if only 2 or 3 countries dominate the sport then it will die.

[@yuibot5998]

@@jodavitow They better stop at 4 though, tough titties for the countries that can't hack it.

[@brenden6218]

Its crazy how this was the first team to win gold since 96

[@ABCScandalFanatic]

jodavitow Not fair is the biggest understatement. It eliminates spots at the top to make room for more mediocre gymnasts at the bottom. Let’s allow more countries to tie for last place so they can say they participated than reward elite talented gymnasts with a chance to compete who actually stand a chance of winning.

It amazes me that fortwo Olympic cycles from 2008 to 2012 and from 2012 to 2016 each of those has had at least one member who already has a gold medal - - wow! I cannot imagine what goes through someone’s head when they have won the Olympics more than once. Here’s to all the little girls who grew up knowing just how good we are and who’s expectation is now winning the competition instead of just competing in it. I come from a generation where we were chasing about two countries only, Russia and Romania. In 1996 we finally caught up and headed the top of the mountain. In 2008 we had her either all around him then in 2012 and in 2016 our team was back on top . Congratulations ladies one and all from every Olympic cycle from Atlanta to Rio de Janeiro and beyond for where we were where we are and where we hope to continue to be. And thank you for finally breaking the Russian and Romanian stranglehold on Olympic and world gymnastics.
