Chellsie Memmel 2007 Pre-Olympic Test Event EF FX

[AngelicPhantom]

I really enjoyed that. I thought she performed incredibly.

[PhenixJoe]

Aw I miss whip-backs. They make a pass look way more artistic/interesting.

[LCAmarkymark]

@PhenixJoe Ponor..did a double whip to a full twisting double back this year.

[PhenixJoe]

@LCAmarkymark Wow that's awesome. I was referring more to whips just thrown in the middle of a tumbling pass (IE handspring-whip-handspring, etc), but that's still amazing. Memmel and Maloney used to do whip to double layouts.

[LCAmarkymark]

@PhenixJoe I remember those days lol...they were good times....so you must have loved 1989-1993 gymnastics with all those great passes as well.

[PhenixJoe]

@LCAmarkymark Yes! Those were my faves.

[LCAmarkymark]

@PhenixJoe or Milo's three whips middle pass..now that is difficulty but now you only get credit for one whip..I believe if you do two in a row you should get some connection bonus of some sort.

[PhenixJoe]

@LCAmarkymark Yea I agree. Tumbling passes have lost a lot of their grace with the new code of points. 90% of them are just round off-back hand spring-huge skill. I miss the variety in tumbling passes that change direction, have whips, etc. The early 90s were prime for that.

[alexis313ns]

her first pass = unblieveable

[CassidyMcComb2010]

Whats her music

[garyj79]

gr8 tumbling, appalling choreo......where is it? or do Chellsie & her father think hand and arms movements and the shit is 'dance' ??? this is just tumbling like the mens........

[markedexclusive]

@garyj79 Tell that to Jiang Tong.

[garyj79]

@markedexclusive - meaning Jiang Tong is also 'arm waving' mad or ACTUALLY artistic then ?????

[TheJordy456]

this isnt her music??

[boytoyville]

This routine is so "Kim Zemeskel" to me. She would have got amazing reactions at US nationals and trials if she would have had amazing reactions.

[boytoyville]

I think this routine is awesome.

[XxTheeHeadXx]

People didn't like it?? Memmel is a bad ass gymnast one of the best I've ever seen any routine that girl does is awesome. A damn shame she got reinjured in Beijing, if she would have been at least 85% she would have came back with a medal without a doubt.

[TwisterFlipp95]

why is this called an olympic test event if it doesnt use the same equipment? well the floor atleast

[willsbob123]

Because it's it the same arena. And you never use the same equipment, because the Olympics are bigger.

[iLoveMyiPod2008]

well, i liked it. i think its really upbeat and interesting, its not like all the other gymnast's. especially the music!!!

she just needed to upgrade her 4th pass...to a double or a double+front tuck if she could pull it off.

[scattywah]

Why did everyone hate this routine so much? Everyone on youtube seems to be ok with it.

[danielcnsilva]

i love her floor routine, she looks like an american daiane dos santos.

[coolboardz53]

How could you call somebody that is strong enough to do that incredible stuff fat?

[swizzletwizzle]

Amen!

[nikkigymnast94]

i love her floor music:)

[glamazon346]

she should use this routine more often

[mlee96]

why did she even learn this routine she doesn't use it

[scattywah]

People hated her new routine, so she switched it.

[ThePenguin888]

MARTA hated it. People don't matter. Marta matters. And Marta didn't like it so it got changed.

[boytoyville]

How do you know that? I believe you, just interested. I love the routine!

[gymnasticsforever95]

omg i love this music!!! but i liked her 2003 and 2004 music better

[NonMatchingUnderwear]

I hope she takes out the double pike (too easy for her) but awesome routine!

[gymnastralohartley]

shes not fat at all. u do relize shes older than nastia and shawn. Shes a woman

[NastiaFan101]

Nastia is just as much a woman as Chellsie, being that she's 18 now

it has nothing to do with age, Chellsie's just built differently

[gymnastralohartley]

i agree

[crazy4gymnastics4224]

she's a big girl....not fat....just bigger.

[324beabilly]

i didnt really like her dance.. its to plain but she has great tumbling passes

[324beabilly]

rjur

[gymtastickt]

Much better effort than her AA routine! There was a vauge feelignof liking this routine, flet like there was a bit more expression in there!!

KT xxx

[BCONTRAT]

I get the same idea. After nailing her first pass, you see her wave her arms with passion lol
