[@CocogoatMain0501]

I think because she knew she wasn't going to win the gold she performed this with no pressure at all. And that's why i believe this is one of best performances of all time, i mean she was just flowing! It was perfection.

[@dododimitrov9657]

true and the bandages were also gone from her feets just like the pressure from within.

[@betiona1507]

Totally true

[@lqmdiar]

Thats not true is not one of the Best performances. it is the Best so far.

[@Olga___864]

@@lqmdiar it is true, Yana told it by herself in one of her interview. Ribbon isn't her favourite routine, but without pressure she herself considers it to be the best

[@rhythmicmusicswap4173]

@@iannecrawford Wai lt just to be clear, Kanaeva, with Yana and tchachina is one of my favorite ever gymanst. I just personally think that in terms of execution Yana is the cleanest gymnasts we've ever seen, and while kanaeva was sure clean, in execution I think, even thanks to a different CoP, cleaner. Kanaeva on the other hand had a, way wider range of BD

[@guillerminahernandez7095]

Her smile at the end is priceless. She's just amazing and her grace and elegance are just in another level.

[@yourslovingly77]

I keep coming back here to watch this marvelous performance of a routine because its just so beautiful. Yana will always be no. 1 in my heart

[@naailtariq5930]

7 years later, and I'm still coming back to this routine. The choreography of this routine is superb. Every step matches the music, and is seamlessly integrated into the changes in tempo, key and rhythm. When I rewind to certain parts of the routine, I have to start it over, because I see just how cleverly integrated it is into the entire piece. Simply brilliant. And clearly, it took them all year to get to this point. If you watch previous iterations of this routine, it didn't work for me like it did here. Absolutely incredible.

[@yuleiluo8005]

She did not let previous events affect her performance in the last category, and that is very admirable. It also proves that she has a very strong psychological will, as most successful gymnasts do.

[@betiona1507]

She laughs and cries at the same time because she knows that she was great, that she was the best, but her mistake has condemned her, so she must assume that reality, that will never win the Olympic gold but has left a demonstration for the story. She will never be forgotten.

[@danielapaizano4573]

Yes, she was better that all, only a mistake was at diferent

[@meeryy94]

She will be always remembered as the most elegant gymnast! I miss her so much 😭♥️

[@ironwingsxz]

The last routine of her life truly amazing ❤

[@luciea1978]

This is perfection. She knew she couldn’t win so there was less pressure and she was relaxed. She’s smiling all along and just enjoying herself. This routine is something else because of that. At the same time, Margarita deserves the gold because she made no mistake no discussion

[@MSquare20055]

Her routine was so flawless and she was literally flying like a swan. She did this routine with the whole heart and soul❤️🤍

[@mariyangeorgiev7675]

Kudos to the Olympic channel for featuring all 4 routines of Queen Yana in Music Mondays - so amazing little pieces of art...

[@jcorreiadesa]

Averina sisters and ROC as well should take a look into Kudryavtseva and Mamun and see what changed between 2016 and 2021. Yana and Margarita were further away much more elegant and dynamic and this obviously reflects on the scores.

[@m00nrac00n]

Its hard to believe that Yana was about 3 years younger than the Averinas at their Olympics. The maturity, expression, artistry she brought. With Yana you always watched an experienced artist telling a complex story through motion...the same goes for Mamum and even Ganna to be honest. The 2016 generation were just a golden batch of gymnasts. I love RG, but 2021 was not to my liking - the sport got considerably messier and uglier. Lets hope for the future.

[@Jajadore]

@@m00nrac00n I totally agree

[@pablovallejo199]

No ha habido después de Kudryavtseva, ninguna gimnasta comparable en elegancia, precisión e interpretación. Esta rutina sublime, en el contexto en que fue realizada, quedará en la retina no solo de los aficionados a este deporte, sino de todo quien se conmueve con el arte en cualquiera de sus expresiones

[@ria-zul-zannah7100]

Yana's ribbon and Margarita's ball routines are so smooth and aesthetic!! This ribbon routine of Yana will always be my favourite!

[@cutiex7357]

This is one of the most beautiful exercise I've ever seen. Love you Yana!

[@scepvour1525]

Most routines looks plain and it's just like they are moving the apparatus (I know that's what they are supposed to do) but yanas work is hypnotic it's ethereal and frankly I haven't found anyone who can replace her yet..

[@miriamponlatetera4611]

Yes, Yana 👑

She’s so professional.

[@JayRapiz]

She will always be my queen! Her craft was beyond anyone's understanding.

[@saraoverkamping8143]

I personally like silver jewelry more than gold. Might be different with medals, but I honestly think she looked like a champion while performing and while standing on the podium. She was the spotlight and she so deserved it. 👑🥈

[@angiekh8346]

Our Queen. The performance of her life❤️

[@rebeccanadialevi2594]

She is such a phenomenal athlete! A fantastic performance here, it feels like a miracle. And now please compare this silver medal with 2021 Tokyo Olympic Gold medalist!

[@Itzel_SIGURE]

There is no comparison. Yana is elegant and ethereal, and Linoy is rough, she has no softness in her movements.

To think that she messed up big time, and Rita just won over some tenths of points, says a lot about Yana's performance. Yes, she didn't get the Gold, but she's still a winner.

[@ballet2558]

Winner = gold medal

[@battlehymnoftheempath3610]

I dont know much about Rhythmic gymnastics, but she seems more musical than Memun, and has less brakes and her movements are more fluid. Its not that Mamun isnt amazing, its just that shes even more amazing.

[@lem-06]

@@battlehymnoftheempath3610 Well, Yana was the best gymnast in that code and she outclasses everyone else in RG in fluidity and apparatus handling. Your observation is spot on.

[@Wiserwords25]

This was just an absolutely gorgeous routine. While I liked Yana more in 2013-2014, I think that she wouldn't have made it on my favorite gymnasts list if it weren't for that drop in her clubs. In the years 2015-2016, I started liking Rita more than Yana. I felt like Yana didn't show much emotion in those years, but in the Olympics, she totally proved me wrong. I always admired the way she dealt with her clubs routine. She didn't make excuses for herself, admitted that she should've practiced that difficulty more, and went out on the carpet to preform one of the greatest performances of her life. Yana didn't let that drop hinder her more. And she knew that she was proud to go home with a silver medal. That's the spirit of an athlete, right there.

[@НадеждаМ-э9п]

Яна Кудрявцева - великолепная, любимая спортсменка! Нелепая случайность не позволила занять 1 место. Маргарита и Яна обе необыкновенеые! Я считаю, что надо разыгрывать медали в каждом виде, ведь в спортивной гимнастике отдельно соревнуются на бревне, прыжке, вольных упражнениях. Почему в таком красивом и сложном спорте, как художественная гимнастика только многоборье? И зачем нужна квалификация? Спортсменки все самые лучшие, сильные и участвуют в отборочных соревноааниях. Ведь Яна на квалификации выступила отлично. Удачи и здоровья всем спортсменам! Будем вспоминать и любоваться выступлениями наших любимых гимнасток!

[@ОльгаМарьяндышева-ф2ч]

Думаю, квалификация нужна лишь для того, чтобы не затягивать финальное соревнование. Что же до отдельных видов, то тут МОК не принял окончательного решения.
