UCLA Gymnastics: The New Era - Episode 6

[@MagicTimeTravel]

norah saying 'you too' to 'you're the most beautiful bar worker ever' is so funny

[@DizzyedUpGirl]

We all relate to that. We've all done that eden a server tells us to enjoy our meal.

[@sunlovinggirl]

I read this comment before I saw that bit and thought aww, that's sweet. Didn't realise she said it to Chris and now the mental image is making me laugh so hard. 😅

[@SuAva]

Well but Chris WAS actually one of the most beautiful (high) bar workers UCLA has ever seen :o He was in the 1992 Olympics.

[@sunlovinggirl]

@@SuAva I did not know that! I just suddenly imagined him in a leo and that comment was just very unexpectedly different from what I had assumed it would be 😅

[@genmcclain]

I am LOVING Chris as the head coach. He's doing so great

[@DizzyedUpGirl]

Well, yeah, he learned from the best.

[@lnisme0295]

@sboudreaux27 they lost a lot of seniors this year sadly so their team this season will be very young and i dont know if they will be able to pull of an NCAA win but heres to hoping

[@nicolebrown5987]

Val retired? Is Chris/a former olympian?

[@haydendyer4137]

@@nicolebrown5987 Val retired but while Mrs.Val was a head coach, Chris was tan assistant coach!

[@HaleyFunk1]

Omg me too he's amazing!

[@paolatellez7880]

I am very sad that Anna was so close to compete again and then the season was finished, but she made a huge impact at UCLA athletics. Mental health is not a game. 💛 Also I love Pulla: that’s my favorite event because I don’t do it!!! I LOVE HEEEER! Can’t believe she’s a senior now 🥺🥺🥺🥺🤧🤧🤧 Deanna, I said this before and say it now: This videos are amazinnnng! 😍

[@SuAva]

So true! Though it's awesome that Anna left her legacy in UCLA Athletics with her Bruin Brave initiative! That's something that carries on to next generations.

[@paulhetherington3854]

Men -- many a man? Don't they - remember this? Hmm - calm down - breathe slowly.

[@chrissyquinlan7177]

I think that even if it wasn’t called the new era they should do it each year it helps so much to get to know the girls personal struggles. I love this team so much and are such an inspiration.

[@drew-ih7bx]

When they say "I love you" to their coaches, it warms my heart. Elite gymnastics needs to learn from collegiate gymnastics! This is what a coach - athlete relationship should be!

[@speedstackinggurl]

I love Chris "they're not crying because I'm their inspiration". Hats off to Kalyany taking it like a champ when Chris pulls her from the lineup so maddie could be in. The end where Nia talks about the senior meet being potentially cancelled and classes moving online for the rest of the semester seems like such a lifetime ago. So proud of the girls and all they did this season, thank you for yet another wonderful video Deanna/team!

[@hermionepink96]

I cried when they cancelled the season. My heart hurts SO badly for these seniors. My hope is next season, UCLA will do a "senior" meet honoring the Class of 2020 where they can perform their routines ❤️

[@annalovesariana2029]

Oh my goodness I feel like crying by just watching the thumbnail and knowing all the stuff what's going on because of covid!

[@elisabethdixie]

Ikr same girl! But it’s ok! We got this! Everything will be ok 💛

[@clarkkhyra]

gymnastics is such a demanding sport! it’s so inspirational to see these girls do so amazing even amongst the worst

[@swmrgirl9979]

What a contrast to elite gymnastics.... developed bodies, positive teammates and coaches, and a focus on mental health. Love it

[@justme-xx3km]

So exciting, can’t wait! THANK YOU SO MUCH DEANNA, for providing us all with these videos!

[@xaea-xii6111]

Her willingness and will power is top notch

[@xaea-xii6111]

This Era was fantastic

[@hillaryc7109]

Nice to see a video labelled new era given the current discussion on the previous long reigning era

[@hadleyhagemann2423]

this feels like it was ages ago, and yet seeing it after all this time gave me the glimmer of new college gym footage I've so badly needed all this time.

[@hermionepink96]

Also I love this team SO much. When my gymnastics coaches told me I would never amount to anything and I got seriously injured, I didn't go back even though I loved gymnastics so much. UCLA has helped me find that love again and I'm training gymnastics again doing what I love. When no one else believed in me, Miss. Val took the time to email me (someone who has nothing to offer her) and encourage me to do what I love without focusing on the final result. As long as you do what makes your heart skip a beat, you are doing the right thing ❤️ My dream is to go to UCLA because it is the first campus where I felt being who I was was okay.

[@atanber1]

Amazing work Deanna! The way you highlight each individual in such a honest and personal way makes us feel like we’re right there with you. So engaging, so inspiring and (sometimes) so heartbreaking! Love this series❤️❤️❤️

[@savannah0045]

When I grow up, UCLA is where I really want to go, watching these just inspire me more

[@EPadre]

These keep getting better every episode. Whomever the folks behind them REALLLLLYYYY deserves a a huge shout out and massive (socially distanced) pat on the back. Every time I get the notification one is up I get super excited!

[@k10122]

E Padre Deanna Hong - she’s amazing :)

[@EPadre]

@@k10122 There is amazing, then there are these! Next level!!! Thanks for the info :)

[@xbored00mmx]

23 career 9.975s for Kyla? That's insane. How many of those should have been a 10? Most?

[@heatherwicker9990]

Probably most of them should have been. Oh what could have been right?

[@tynao2029]

how many should have been 9.0s? and how many other girls in programs that are smaller deserved 10s but got 9.0s?

[@hadleyhagemann2423]

@@tynao2029 cute.

[@spdcrzy]

And 22 career perfect tens. She has just as many perfect scores as near perfect scores. I think she has a total of something over a HUNDRED 9.95+ scores. Which is insane, considering that this season was cut short.

[@raquelgarciaconesa]

this is so emotional to watch, yet so inspiring. this series is something i really love

[@chloematrundola5187]

these girls are so so strong, especially all the seniors. so upsetting that they didn't get a final meet together. (also the first five minutes had me in tears! anna is so strong!)

[@HaleyFunk1]

This team is absolutely beautiful and amazing. Each girl is so supportive of all of them, the coaches are incredible human beings. I love everything about college gymnastics and UCLA is my favourite team by far! The only one I watch! I literally get goosebumps when I see the support and encouragement from the coaches and team members. I also nearly cry they are all so amazing. Also, the fact that she and all them put this together for mental health is absolutely incredible. Mental health is crucial, just as physical health is. I'm a mental health advocate and use Instagram and KZbin to reach people who are struggling and to see this team help others and help end the stigma, my gosh I don't even know what to say. They are incredible souls

[@jessicaperrone4754]

Please do this next year!!

[@spdcrzy]

Most student athletes want to join a program for the coaches and for what their record can do for their professional careers. For aspiring college gymnasts to want to join UCLA's program SPECIFICALLY because of the athletes themselves will hopefully change how college recruiting works for the better.

[@lnisme0295]

but a big thing with NCAA gymnastics is that its the end of most of the girls careers, as gymnastics is such a physically demanding sport that when you graduate and youre what 22-24 years its difficult to go back to elite which is much more demanding and much harder. Its not like football where you go for four years and then you go on and have a career after that, most gymnasts retire after college

[@elistark-haws2598]

Chris is my Hero!!! 💙💛

[@carolineblueskies]

Could Anna apply for an extra year since she didn't complete this season/does she want to?

[@lnisme0295]

she doesnt want to due to all her injuries she thinks its going to be too much and that her body wont be able to handle it, same goes for Grace

[@danceballetacro]

Anna I'm sorry for all you have gone through. Have you looked into cranial sacral therapy?! It is amazing for gymnasts and dancers! It gave me my life back after several injuries!

[@authortoempire]

when yall edit you should play the vaults in slow mo

[@celinad115]

Yay!

[@julie7035]

I have a question. Do all athletes train for all four events? Or do some specialize? I realized that I've never seen Gracie Kramer on bars for example.

[@m0_0nturtle]

they specialize for sure, Gracie was specifically recruited for vault if I recall correctly. which is why it's so amazing to see her shine on other events especially floor!!

[@bexxx6532]

..... and then I world got flipped upside down
