Chellsie Memmel - Balance Beam - 2008 Olympic Trials - Day 1

[sweetaty91]

omg that was awesome!

[pandaxseal3]

whats that move at 0:42

[happyari13]

great mount, never seen anything like it!!!

[ICONiacLOVE12]

Awesome performance and dismount (:

[brycehelmer]

I wish she was allowed to perform this in the team final and not alicia. Chellsie was great. Barely any wobbles, great landings, until the dismount, but she should've gotten maybe a .1 deduction or if the judges were really picky, then maybe a .3

[BiebzGirliee]

Great dismount (: 

[gymbert13]

People are scremaing like their on oblivion. (Alton towers, England, ride at a theme park, look it up!)

[maddimayhem15]

THAT WAS SO GOOD! Her landings were great every time!

[shmabsx3]

all beam routines should be choreographed this way

[TikiBoy382]

such an amazing routine, I don't think there was a single bobble, untill the landing, and that was so small!!

[Shainnab1]

She is one gymnasts who does not get all the attention she deserves

[DrawAndLoveHorses]

HOLY BENT LEG at 0:09 :P other then that, A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

[eiffel65isawesome]

@DrawAndLoveHorses It is supposed to be bent.

[xGymCouture]

@DrawAndLoveHorses she's supposed to bend her leg :L

[co123445666]

love the layout half <33 and Arabian her routine on a whole is amazing!

[mulliganbrian]

I MISS HER! :)

[showjumperluvr4]

that was amazing i just wish she would point her toes lols :) what was that move at :19? i love her leaps! :)

[pkim45]

@showjumperluvr4 It was a piked barani (front with a half twist).

[ShesGoingRaawr]

I love the Illusion - turn :)

[tootortor]

hey sry can someone tell me, at 0:46 - 0:49, wat move is that?

[dannyradar]

@tootortor its called an illusion turn. she makes it look so cool, doesnt she? :)

[moopoo66]

that was so amazing!

[pokemasterclay]

Or sam would have competed if she wasnt injured on bb

[lilyia1]

I really love Chellsie.She's deserve other Olympic!

[Stonymypony]

Does any one know this? Okay so in the 2008 olympics team final on beam it was Shawn, Nastia and Alicia. Chellsie seems more consistant and more stable on beam that Alica. Why wasn't she on beam during the olympics?

[tmwalkerm]

@Stonymypony She was injured, broke a bone in her foot.

[gymboy1011]

is her half an F or an E

[BstGymnastevr95]

i loved how the crowd cheered for every skill she did no matter how simple it was

[ajzustra]

@BstGymnastevr95 lol simple. none of that is simple. I'd like to see a grown adult just stand at that level of height and just "walk" across the beam. Majority of them can't even do that without practice.

[complainer101]

good routine, yeah, but she looks so... rushed. unorganized.

[itstheapocalypse]

Best I've seen her on beam.

[RagingBearVideos]

Watch her on day 2... She's even better.

[smartabarn]

wow, she is really good at bb!

[darkeyes2404]

wow, that beam routine was amazing when she stuck it at the end it was just like the exclamation point it was awesome:)

[lollypopgirl555]

0:47 ~ 0:50

yay!

i cn do that too!

[MisanthropistPro]

I tried to do an illusion turn in my living room floor. lol. It didn't work. How do you do it? =(

[Europeluva1]

I wish she could have competed beam at the Olympics. We really could have used her.

[mydogwearsacape]

i absolutely agree. with memmel healthy, alicia probably wouldn't have done beam...as much as i like them both, i think we know who was more likely to have hit their routine in that situation...poor chellsie and her injuries. she was incredible last summer.

[dragonmaster97531]

@mydogwearsacape actually alicia was hurt also, but not as bad as chellsie and sam, she hurt her ankle, so i dont think we can really blame her that much :/

[Europeluva1]

Gah! I wish she could have competed beam at the olympics! We really could have used this routine.
