Full highlights from the Women's Uneven Bars Final from the North Greenwich Arena at the London 2012 Olympic Games. Russia's Aliya Mustafina won Gold with China's He Kexin in Silver and Great Britain's Elizabeth Tweddle with the Bronze medal.
Artistic gymnastics was introduced at the very first Olympic Games in 1896 in Athens, and has been present at every edition of the Games since then. At the beginning, it comprised disciplines that are difficult to qualify as "artistic", such as climbing and acrobatics.
The foundations of the Olympic gymnastics programme were laid at the 1924 Games in Paris, when the men's apparatus individual and team competitions appeared. In 1928, women were included in the Amsterdam Games. It was not until 1952 that the women's programme was developed, with seven events, and then stabilised at six events as from the 1960 Games in Rome. =========================================

DON'T DEGRADE YOURSELF, I CAN DO ALL OF THESE STUFF PLUS MORE IN MY SLEEP
I usually watch gymnastics on NBC, where the commentators are forever judging the Russians and Chinese, and being cocky about how amazing the Americans are. So lovely to watch a British version where the commentators are so encouraging and so amused with how good they ALL are. Great stuff.
yes gea
Victoria Lisek yes great
Victoria Lisek you realize one of the commentators is American right? So I wouldn't say every American commenter is "cocky"
One commentator is Australian !! I think his name is Greg someone..... the American commentator is Shannon Miller and I think she is very unbiased!
Victoria Lisek lol NBC IS American tv
Why am I binge watching Olympics during quarantine?
🥱

HOW IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT ELIZABETH SEITZ LIKE THAT ROUTINE WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!
Erin Bonner yes! She made the best of her routine!
She represents my country and she’s awesome 😍
Erin Bonner Ik omg she deserves a much higher score
@@jiminiesjams1454 she is awesome. And always smiling and chill. She's fun to watch.
What a coincidence. I was happening to watch her perform while I read this comment.
I like these commentators a lot. Usually they're really critical and annoying.
same
I know that one of them is Shannon Miller and the other is a commentator for Australia
Gia Zephyr from Australia or for Australia?
Yeesss
Carolyn W yeah the male commentator for figure skating is kinda annoying sometimes
Who are these commentators? They both sound very nice and warm, and the woman is especially soft spoken and sweet. Most importantly, they are mostly very positive, encouraging, and not critical, and seem fair regardless of the gymnast's country origin. Overall a soothing experience to follow their voices. I found them way better than the NBC crew of Tim Dagget et al. who are literally exacerbating.
The woman is Shannon Miller
meangirlbecca I really like them both as well. The man has a easy, welcoming English accent that is always welcome in sports commentary, and the woman obviously has a lot of experience around gymnastics. Plus her voice is ever so gentle, I love these two :)
Yes! The NBC commentators are just bleh. Their voices are the opposite of relaxing.
zain it’s an Australian accent lol
Shannon-Louise Miller Lmao no it isn't do you even know what and Australian accent sounds like?
I realized that in 2019 this was 7 years ago. 7 years y'all
It's 5 years ago not 7???
😂
8 now
I went and watched this round but it really doesn’t seem like 8 years ago

British commentators are the best for these types of competitions. They always acknowledge the qualities and efforts of all the gymnasts.
neither of these commentators were british lol
@@dettolduck i think this network is BBC so that’s probably what the commenter was referring to
@@howdy88 it’s not the BBC it’s the Olympic Channel coverage
the second girl looked so disappointed, she did amazing!
Ikr? Imagine training your whole life for this, then on the day you make a rookie mistake? Poor girl
Komova?
She hit the bar, with her toes, so that's a deduction
She hit the bar with her toes and stepped out on her landing. Those are deductions. Her routine was awesome. She did it beautifully. But they beat themselves up for little mistakes because the judges will nail you to the wall for them.
She was definitely more graceful then the first one
When the announcer said "as they enter the arena" I was like "may the odds ever be in your favor" 😂

Shout out to Gabby for clapping for everyone's name. Respect.

@@jada7183 like always, always giving respect, but never getting it, smh.
Well Gabby DOES have the clap! oops
It’s funny how they smile when there name gets called and straight after that they go back to being grumpy 😂😂😂
Lol its the Olympics, they're really nervous, representing their country, they probably are also replaying every mistake they've made previous to this performance.
It's called focus.
I love how the people shout at the same time: "Good luck" whenever somebody from China is up. (I speak Chinese)
@@jocelyntm Chinese is what I call it because some people don't know what mandarin is. You don't have to criticise every word I say.
Angedy rawr XD
I thought they said like STOP! or somthin
Vigga Holm-Petersen that’s what I heard
I speak Chinese too and I think it’s better translated as “do your best” rather than “good luck”. (There’s no direct translation to English but it’s the same meaning of 頑張って in Japanese)
I love the Chinese gymnasts!!! They're so cute and they look so friendly and close to each other.
@M W fxk off communist
@@cam0987 well, he is right... it’s just the truth, we don’t have to be communist to realize the TRUTH
Aliya's routine may have been "boring", but it was technically perfect. Very clean cut, and that's what the judges look for.
She moves from one skill to another without 'empty swings' in between. Turns and pirouettes are also skills, so that combined with the releasemoves makes a difficult routine. She has very good form, she ends all the turns in a handstandposition. And then of course the stuck landing. So she has a difficult routine and a great execution, which explains the gold medal.
Boring, no artistry in today’s gymnastics
Emily P When you connect turns and pirouettes to releases, if you’re off in a pirouette, then you can’t adjust before the release. Bigger risk = bigger potential for reward.
Chevy Girl how can you be artistic on the uneven bars? Also Aliya may not have an connected release moves but she connected them to pirouettes which also give her bonus points plus her execution.
Who said Aliya's routine is boring? I think she looks the most effortless, like she's flying from skill to skill while everyone else looks labored.
Tweedle by far had the coolest routine. If she would have stuck the landing I think she should have gotten 1st.
Elizabeth Seitz still killing it in 2019 with that same smile on her face all the time. She is not only talented but so chill and fun to watch.
God, sometimes I forget how young these girls are... it's amazing...
Ashley Collins 4(5(,??
That can be taken in many ways 😂😂
Tweddle was 26
how does one get a job as one of the sign holders? xD
They are likely volunteers from the host city/country.

I need the same type of job... or at least sth similar 😃🤣🤣🤣
As the anything at this point!!
* In the guy of SpongeBob voice * *3 years later*
I love how the Chinese gymnasts were smiling the whole time, even when she dropped into 3rd she continued to smile
I'll consider this is one of the best Olympic Ub finals, here's why: -all routines looks original, bringing their own style of release skills, transitions, pirouettes -he kexin's release combo, till now it's mind-blowing. -komova's pak, let's don't talk about her mistake. She floats on her transition -yao's dismount. totally a queen of dlos -Beth tweedles entire routine, look how dynamic is her movements. Just that dismount were close. -seitz geinger full is terrific to see, it's rare to see it this quad -mustafina's entire routine. totally well deserving gold medal routine.🥇
Tweddle is quite possibly one of the best last names ever

Shannon is such a good commentator. Very thoughtful considered observations & better, IMHO, than Nastia. Nastia is still pretty new at it, though. She'll probably get better. She needs to stand up to Tim Daggett more. I love Tim, but I get really annoyed when he sits there "correcting" her about beam technique or something similar. I mean, really.
I'm fine with Tim and Nastia, but I can't stand Al. He was never a gymnast in the first place and yet he turns the whole thing into a soap opera.
Musickt196 That's for sure.
+Musickt196 Completely agree.
He says the stupidest things. I'm not even sure why he's there!
deenibeeniable b
I really love these commentors. Enjoy watching again and again
This will forever be one of the most interesting uneven bars finals to me! Aliya was flawless, Tweddle and Kexin's routines were so fun to watch, Komova drama, and Seitz had that awesome twisting release move (I always joke that she's my cousin, lol). Here for it!
Its weird how Mustafina has never been World Champion on Bars, but somehow manages to defend her title in 2016 Rio. One of my fav gymnasts.
i think it’s bc she saves her best for the olympics
definition of clutch
well she might be one your fav gymnasts but her fav thing now is FOOD. Have ya seen her?
@@JB-sg1vy so? Her diet is not your business.
@@yuppi3495 I never said her "diet" is any my business? And obviously she is on NO diet lol. What does me saying she is now a HUGE COW which we all can see have anything to do with that her diet in nun my business? Like huh? I never said nothin bout her " DIET", although she seriously needs one before she needs to go on MY 600 LB LIFE. She should be concerned about her size for HEALTH reasons and heartattack but I guess YOU are of the peeps that say this is all fine like Lizzo and such. MY POINT Is SHE IS FAT AF now and nowhere near what she resembled before. She has totally let herself go. SNORT. FACTS over FEELINGS. THAT is ALL. BUT you going WAY off topic and can't comprehend. OOOPS. you also say " So?" SO it is just my observation and FACT that she is now a MOOSE FLOAT. !!! Never said was my business but i DO point out TRUTH. Okurrr. Now pass the PORK!@@!!!! SNORT!!! MOO
I can lie in my bed perfectly. I'm the best in Gymnastics.
now THAT should win the olympics 😎😎
Oh yeah well I can do a forward roll AND do a cartwheel IM GOOD AT GYMNASTICS HEHE
Yep! Then more people will participate as professional bed liers
Lol I actually do gymnastics but I'm also pretty good at lying in bed lol
unhøly I can do a cartwheel a split a front roll a front flip a handstand a split handstand
I really like seeing gymnasts from competing teams hugging each other.
I'm here watching this 7 years later in 2019 and still cry for Viki Komova.
oh hunty that sounds dreadful
I think Yao Jinnan was underscored. Just personally
ikr... she looked like she was just dancing, so effortless but wonderful.
Ikr! And her landing was amazing!
Thought the same...and Mustafina overscored
No, she messed up on a couple little things - just slight deductions, but enough to bring her down a bit. It was a beautiful routine, though.
@@brunos.teixeira2102 I also thought mustafina was overscored. But the reason behind her high score is a LOT of connection bonuses. Basically every skill in her routine is connected to something. The high-to-low bar transition is connected to previous skills and is connected to transition back to high bar where she does a Komova II, which is a hard skill. She starts off the routine from the low bar, where she connects 2 skills to transition to high bar. Her release from high bar is also connected to previous skills. Even her dismount is connected... Also her dismount is harder than it seems. It was like the second hardest dismount, behind Komova's and Beth's, and she sticks it. Overall her routine is living proof that smart work always wins, also everything was executed well and she had very beautiful lines. So yeah
This is irrelevant but I love the pink arena, it's too cute! ^-^
that make no sense but hey, your opinion :) xD
+AfterMyReawakening she is saying that she likes the colour of the arena
but I don't get, it why should you talk about the area from a sport event xD but hey thats just me
I just realized it is kinda cute tbh
+AfterMyReawakening because no one wants to compete in a horrible arena
Can I just say that Yao Jinnan's full spins are my absolute favorite? Because they're so graceful and fluid and I love the way her hand waits a little before coming over to the bar, it makes it looks so casual and easy and flows so so beautifully.
ya like yao deserved bronze here.
i love hearing the teammates cheering in all different languages :)
The German Girl did an awesome Job
olipoa pupo I agree!
yeah she did with the twist
The thing you gotta love about Beth Tweddle is that after Mustafina got her score, she smiles and claps for her; even though you can tell she’s nervous about not medaling.
he kexin is an absolute breath of fresh air
I was watching Olga Korbut and thinking nothing and no one has ever been as amazing as her. She was just a MONSTER on the bars.
i hate the people on the sidelines who are like COME ON COME ON YOU GOT IT... I'd be like PLEASE SHUT UP AND LET ME DO MY THING
Disgust101 Yeah of course, I know. I was a performer too. It would just get kind of annoying and distracting when people were shouting things from the sidelines.
For me if I were doing an Olympic final like the bars, I'd want that support. No matter how loud they are. I'd get anxiety if they weren't Cheering me on.
If you listen they are saying things to help her and it's just better when people cheer you on in routines
Harrison Green In your opinion, yes.
I know I'd get distracted, other sports its great but i feel like gymnastics where you're concentrating on EVERYTHING it would get on my nerves
Poor Komova. It seemed like these Olympics were filled with disappointment for her.
because she made it that way. She should learn a lot from Aliya.
I didn't understand what happend to her??
So she qualified first in the all-around at 2011 worlds, but Jordyn Wieber beat her for gold by .033 and she was pretty crushed She came back these 2012 olympics with high hopes for AA gold and qualified first again. But in finals she had a bad vault landing. She performed the floor routine of her life and thought she might have made up for it, but nope. She cried and it was broadcast to the entire world. She had a great shot at a UB medal here and performed a stellar routine, except her foot hit the low bar and she was knocked out of the medals. Once it was time for BB final it looked like she was just exhausted and had given up, I think she fell twice. She was clearly capable of a lot and could have been great, but just did not perform at the most important moments. But hey, she's coming back to competition next month.
Fun Facts she is back now and looks like she has a much improved attitude

The crowd when a gymnast is representing Great Britain 🤩 I absolutely love when gymnasts are competing in their home country.
Am I the only one who thought it was so cute when Jinnan hugged everyone after her perfect landing? She looked so happy!
Komova is the only one who can beat Aliya but doesn't have the right mind set and will power. Hope she gets her thoughts together and fight for that Gold in Tokyo.
Kim Williams This comment has not aged well
what happened lol?
@@jadek8437 She likely won't be going to Tokyo
I heard she couldn't continue because of her back problems. There's more to it than that, though, I'm sure. I think there was someone else against it in Russian gymnastics.
and she never got back to her 2012 form
I feel bad for Komova when all the coaches were congratulating Mustafina she literally sat on the bench looking down.
Her gymnastics are so beautiful. She just had an issue preforming under pressure. She is notrious for qualifying first but finishing out of medal contention. She would of really benefited from a sports therapist or something.
@@ericarichards8350 i gree, did she quit gymnastics?
@@liliana161922 no she competed for a while after but retired last year
Aliya QUEEN Mustafina 👏👏👏👑👑👑❤❤❤
and now she Kween of the dessert table.... MOO
Aliya's hair and makeup looks soo good, love the sparkles
She literally looks like everybody else, on that stage, but ok.
well she uh looks ALOT different today! She like 8 times the size and her chins sparkle now. All 3 of them! ooops
I think my favorite thing about Mustafina is that she has so many different versions of her routines for each event. She can elect to do a different version of her routine at any moment. She's super versatile!
well SHE might be versatile but YOU look like a total BOTTOM hahaha
Beth Tweddle is a legend and a great sportswoman. So happy to see her prevail here.
Не побеждает, а становится призёром. Так как олимпиада домашняя, то ей 3-е место подарили - на приземлении много нашагала!
Mustafina is so cute and such an elegant gymnast.
not anymore.... she is a total cow now
I feel so sorry for Komova it was her last chance and she had a really good chance of getting the gold - she would've scored 16.166 and come out on top.
Do you think she'll be at Rio? I'd love for her to come out, be incredible again and do herself proud!
RainbowCharms58 I'm hoping so and I'm pretty sure.
***** Actually, she's completely not solid on the beam.
Just wish she stay positive and have good attitude :-) support her own team and be happy for others
#(Bits inbetween #'s are the edited bits!)# I don't want to disappoint you RainbowCharms58 but there is a bad disease going on at Brazil and if athletes go there, they could catch it, go back to there home country and spread it there.# And as a result of this, there might not be Rió 2016 Olympics# (This is not proven correct, however, this is a possibility)
He kexin is a legend
The commentators are critical enough but also kind and positive. I like them.
I find it very interesting how the other gymnasts are able to be so supportive of the others even if they loose its shows that they aren’t sore losers!
they are prolly sore tho from them difficult routines!
Poor Komova, I feel like the Olympics were nothing but heartbreak for her.
2 silver Olympic medals is a lot of to be proud of
+mrsjojo xoxo yes 2 silvers are a lot to be proud of, but for someone like Komova who's a perfectionist, it's disappointing. I think most of the heartbreak the person above was taking about came from the event finals especially. Beam final:fell off and sat down her dismount bar final:hit her feet on the low bar which is super uncharacteristic for her, and she definitely would have medaled without it. And ya Russia did get the silver for the TF, but it's not like they all hit routines, but just didn't have enough difficulty, the whole team sadly just fell apart pretty much. I hope Komova makes it to Río and can have a more successful games!
+Marcela Plascencia She was so obsessed with the gold and first place that she got hell for herself. She had completely forgot about her real position there: a world-wide recognized gymnast, admired by millions. With youth often comes inmaturity.
+Marcela Plascencia To come in 2nd place not once but twice is definitely disappointing. No worse place than 2nd
+Frank “N” Stein Seems like hatred of second place is pretty common especially in Russian gymnasts. The Soviet coaches probably hammered that mindset into their gymnasts.
Komova is bursting with talent, but it seems that she can't handle pressure. He Kexin's routine looked better than Mustafina's, but Aliya has that super difficult dismount that put her start value up by Beth's. If Beth could have landed her dismount, she would have won easily.
+Rita Baumann Kexin had leg separations that whittled away at her score. She wasn't flawless and that's why it cost her the gold. Tweddle of course could have won gold too - but she had a bad landing on the dismount and was lucky to hang on for bronze.
Komova has a terrible attitude. It’s not the pressure. She makes one mistake and gives up.
Yeah, this is late but I'm especially glad He and Beth got medals. Beth being on her home turf and her last chance at an Olympic medal and He being the returning olympic champ (and such a good sport). I'm glad both of them got something.
Komova had all the makings of an Olympic AA champion but I think she was her own worst enemy sometimes. She didn't seem to be mentally or emotionally in the right place to be able to handle the pressure. I get it, I know I would be the same way.
@@nikkikennedy8728 I agree, when Beth did those turns on the bar, you can pick up many deductions.
He Kexin is the only Chinese female gymnast ever to medal on the same apparatuses at consecutive olympics! incredible and legendary UB gymnast
Elisabeth Seitz has always had ridiculously difficult routines that just haven't played to the code of points well. This was definitely the hardest and riskiest routine being done in the world despite the code disagreeing
Kexin's routine was so amazing!!! It's 2016 but I still like to watch Olympic gymnastics from London

Tricia Le the
Goodbye Goodbye goodbye
Tricia Le her 2008 routine is even more amazing
He Kexin is simply amazing!!!
You tube
Aliya Mustafina may have seemed to take this gold "accidentally" during this time, but she solidified her sky-high and out-of-the-world standard by defending her gold medal in 2016, becoming the only undisputed double Olympic UB champion! She'll forever be the definition of world class gymnastics!
and then she turned into the goodyear blimp shortly after... Moo
@@JB-sg1vy In your disrespectful opinion LMAO! What a joke! She has been winning in international competitions since she was 13 and competed for over 12 years, so sorry that she didn't ask for your permission before her retirement, you freak! She became a mother and chose to be one, so the only blimp and a disrespectful jealous person is you! What an insecure creep!
Elizabeth Seitz did an amazing performance. So energetic and exciting.
Elizabeth Tweddle's performance was the best in my opinion (although I don't know much about gymnastics form). I think its great she won her first medal in her home country!
Yeah, her routine was awesome. Her dismount cost her though. If she was consistent throughout she would have won.
Same..she should’ve won
I don’t care who won, but I’m just glad tweddle got something. After sticking with such difficult and unique skills for forever, she finally got some tangible reward for it. I highly admire gymnasts who go for entertaining routines (Kexin, Steiz, and Tweddle) over safe ones as a viewer (2016 bars was mundane, so, so mundane, esp. in comparison to 2012). Of course, score-wise, that doesn’t matter, but I don’t care about scores as a viewer lol.
Yea exactly, you don’t know much about gymnastics form. Aliya was superior, she had the same difficulty, she executed all her skills the best and has a lightness about her that Kexin and Tweddle don’t. She also managed to stick her dismount. She was spectacular that night.
Yao jinan had the cleanest routine and the best form.... Not sure why her execution score wasn't a bit higher
3748359 Lack of amplitude on her release skills is why.
Kexin, Mustafina and Jinnan were just in their own world for this final, really incredible
and what world is this that you speak of?
I admire these girls so much. Just imagine what they are feeling when they saw their ranks going down.
C'mon Komova. I feel so sorry for you because you would've gotten the gold otherwise and you were the one I've been wanting to win so that took a piece out of me but at least show some joy and support for your teammate who just won the gold and is rejoicing.
Ikr
Attitude :-(
well she was probably really mad at herself lol
I KNOW! HORRIBLE sports(wo)manship. she should be ashamed of herself.
***** I was talking about at that moment. She had every right to be disappointed after her routine, but c'mon, she was second to go but up until the end she was still sulking with her head down and did not once look her own teammate.

This was a true UB final U got Beth, He, Aliya, Komova and Douglas
Douglas was never a dominant bar worker and had little hope for a medal
@ Maia she qualified to the event final for a reason
Had Tweddle stuck to landing she would get the gold for sure.
They explained, even without the deduction, she still would have come short. 🤷♀️
AJ Tridento they said those were 1 tenth steps but I think we all know they were 3 tenth steps I think they were just trying to be hopeful
@@cyborg_sirenLol that dismount definitely incurred a 3 tenth deduction, if you add that onto her score, then she receives a score higher than the gold winner, Mustafina.
I agree other than that she was amazing
Really ? I don't think so. She es good...but there were more better than her. SURE !!

When they stick the landing: 😍
I just want to thank this channel for existing. I was working at summer camp in 2012 and therefore didn't get to see any of the olympics during it. Though my sister did dvr some of the events, I still obviously missed a lot, and I enjoy watching them. This coverage is so much better than NBC, particularly the team and all around gymnastics because there's MORE of it, and other gymnasts are highlighted.
Aliya Mustafina's routine was extremely difficult and technically perfect. Of course she deserved to win, so shut up all the haters out there. He Kexin's routine was only .1 more difficult, and had multiple visual errors. Yes she deserved to medal, but not gold.
Se31298 Time to become an Olympic judge instead of a youtube judge. I guess commentators nowadays think they do a better scoring than qualified judges nowadays.
Allen Clw I don't even understand what you're trying to get at. You're criticizing me for defending Mustafina in a comment section full of hate towards her?
+Se31298 Totally agree!!!!!!!!
+Se31298 ITA. Kexin and Tweddle had the big combo moves but both made mistakes - Tweddle with her dismount - she almost sat it down - and Kexin with her multiple leg separations. The best gymnast won and I'm glad the judges scored it correctly.
+Tree Hugger Hi all. I don't know how Aliya's D score was arrived. I don't know why it's also at 7.0, same with He Ke Xin and Beth Tweddle.
It's my first time watching this and I'm tearing up, the girls are amazing
As much I like Mustafina's routine, Tweedle's routine was phenomenal! I wish her landing was cleaner.. And Kexin's straddled yeager was impressive as always. Seitz was my second favourite. She is such a queen on bars. Love all these wonderful ladies!
2016 and i'm still watching this, i love Mustafina
Manila Arce 2019
I‘d be really upset if the 2020 missed here so here is the yearly comment: 2020
well Mustafina does not love you as much as she loves FOOD!!! She is HUGE now!!! Heffer
Loved the London Olympics atmosphere, they actually give a loud cheer for each DIFFERENT country ...not just the host
This is one of my favorite UB finals to rewatch. Everyone is invested and the routines were exciting even if they didn’t get into the medals. And the DEF! I love Seitz.
He Kexin, I loved her work in bars! ❤️
Beth tweddle is just phenomenal.
I much preferred Mustafina's style and routine to Beth Tweddle's. Beth just seems stiff. Mustafina deserved that win more than anything.
Muita bonita temos q respeita q concoda
She also deserves weight loss surgery now....
who’s here at 2021?
Meeeeeeeeeee
All of these routines are insanely well done!
Aliya Mustafina, the prettiest face in the arena!
I disagree
+Harlee Unicorn me too
+Harlee Unicorn there is not a prettier gymnast in gymnastics, deal with it!
+Jackie M Gabby is wayyyyy prettier but I respect your opinion
+Harlee Unicorn yeah, gabby douglas is prettier and look more stunning ..
I honestly think it's extremely sweet that these competitors are very nice with one another, like when Aliya finished her routine and Beth congratulated her. That kind of attitude makes me happy. Although I would get the sadness as well.
This is one of the most unpredictable and exciting bars finals. So much talent!
30:56 that’s the smoke of pride for one’s nation 💕 Russia ❣️ love from India
Can't wait to see aliya slay in Rio
I know I like her🙂
Mariam Assaf how did she do
Sil Vermeij She slayed. Won gold in UB again.
Haha! Yeah, they were saying Must-ta-fee-nah when it was Moo-sta-fin-ah (Sorry if it sounds funny, trying to write phonetically isn’t easy to understand for others)
Now Aliya slays at the buffet tables.... eating EVERYthang in sight!!!!!
Aliya Mustafina very beautiful!
Yep she is but they kept on pronouncing her name wrong
+josephine phillips how do you pronounce it correctly? Id Love to know!
The stress should be on TA, not FI. But, I mean... it's probably more comfortable for english speakers to stress second to last syllable, so it's fine.
Caked in makeup
If you
I love watching this over and over again!
The performance of the judges must be regretted, as Mustafina scored 15.700 points in bars qualifying and He kexin scored 15.966 points to claim the No. 1 position is Chinese woman He Kexin.
I live in America so I'm always rooting for the USA team but I kinda want Beth Tweddle to come to the olympics one year and smash everyone on uneven bars
She was awesome! Pretty sad she got 3rd instead of 1st I thought. Although she was the one who landed funny which put her lower. :/
True, but it was my favorite one to watch overall. :)
Im pretty sure shes retired now but shes pretty incredible anyway
I think she's just as happy with the bronze. Soon happy for her.
+Faye Nicole (Fayenicolex) Yeah she is incredible too bad she's retired, though.
also can Komova stop sulking? good lord. I know it's upsetting to work so hard and come up short, but if you compete long enough, you should learn how to handle disappointment more gracefully. especially when her team mate won, she didn't even look up to congratulate her.
I'm a fan from Komova, but you're right...
komova did congratulate aliya. you got a point, I give you that but try to search a little bit better.
I'm a huge Komova fan but u r so right
What really sucks is that had Komova won, Aliya still would've been super happy and excited for her.. :/
She was hugging Aliya from 22:09 to 22:14
Poor Komova. She always seems to be unhappy and disapointed with her own routines. And she's an incredibly talented gymnast.

I can only imagine the amount of strain this event puts on the shoulders of the athletes! The dedication is insane, much respect for all gymnasts.
They usually get their shoulders removed later in life
