That thunk sound when they do a solid landing on the beam is so satisfying

If Chellsie Memmel and Sam Peszek weren't injured at the 2008 olympics, I think team USA could have definitely won the gold.

Fibo Nacci if alicia had competed nope , because she fell twice and the gap was too big , nastia and shawn we t out of bounds , balance checks were too many , and honestly china were amazing and their difficulty is crazy high , so i believe it wouldnt have gone any other way except if alicia didnt compete and chellsie and sam rocked , maybe the gap would clode up and even get higher than china that day maybe
@ryanw12824 жыл бұрын
I agree!!!!! If Alicia only performed on vault, and either Sam or Chellsie on beam (score at least a 15.5) and on floor without a fall it should be a win. I think a lot of pressure was added when Alicia fell. Overall the team had the top combined teams scores on beam and vault. They were 2nd on bars and 3rd on floor.

I know Alicia was consistent on floor leading up to the games but I feel like they should’ve put Bridget up instead for team finals. She had a better routine in Quals.

She is really under appreciated, her beam skills are equal to Shawn Johnson's yet she doesn't get the same amount of attention.
@auspicious937 жыл бұрын
Why does Elfi always say that beam isn't one of Sam's strongest events? She's one of the best balance beam workers I've ever seen!
@@auspicious93 The fact she lands low on her acro skills, doesn’t reach full split, bends her knee and flexes her food on full spin, doesn’t get full credit for sheep jump, and doesn’t achieve split in her backhand springs or layout step outs. A few things.

Way more than deserved to be on the Olympic team. Shame how countless phenomenal gymnasts couldn't compete in the Olympics because of injuries, such as Peszek and Ohashi, among many others. Nastia Liukin was incredibly lucky and extremely determined; I was really thankful for that.
@michaelhart72825 жыл бұрын
I still think that downplays Nastias abilities and what she brings do the team. Martha would have always used Nastia on bars and beam. If Sam or a Chellsie were healthy she would have been swapped for floor for team finals.

@KVHolland3 She didn't land with her chest up. She brought her chest up after she landed, but she didn't land with it up. She landed it exactly like Shawn does who also brings her chest up quickly afterwards, but doesn't land with it up either. Sam is great on beam though.
