Xiao Qin outswings his opponents to defend title

[hmrhuang]

I've never seen a male gymnast swing so fast on that apparatus. Wow.

[ivorychau]

鞍 馬 之 皇 ！

[bumsendenstore]

the commentaters sounds like a mix of gay and nerds

[gymnastbg1]

if i could swing like that....

[brunoidelfonso]

Sinistro!

[TheHuntress144]

yeah this is some creepy commentary

[JimmyDeLocke]

He makes it look easy -- how is that possible?

[mcpeter90]

fortunatelly for him, marius urzica wasn't in a very good shape at this competition.

[pokaymahn]

1 person got the silver medal

[maddiecass]

China was seriously awsome. They all have just this air about them, I guess. Pretty damn awsome

[spammmy]

I give myself 2 years to get to this level

[shenkeey]

@spammmy 100% Sure you're gonna get to that level, especially that fast. Fire's cold btw.

[flipkid2233]

whose the one person to dislike!

[brian1321]

@flipkid2233

Tomita

[aznplayertake]

Bet you he break dances on his spare time, lol.

[footbottlesiumai]

@aznplayertake yeh ithink that too!

every time i watch people break dancing i just think to myself, any Chinese gymnast can beat them any day! just their warm up!

[aznplayertake]

@footbottlesiumai Lmaoo, yeahhh

[drzvertigo]

All who scoff: try swinging 3 circles....if you know what that means.

This guy is the best.

[animeanime654]

@drzvertigo psh. Try doing one (people who havn't even touched a pommel horse)

[rainshadow000]

stupid guy just had orgasm soo gay...

[yuuji0424]

すげえよ。ダメだったところが知りてぇよ。

[Lagauder]

hammergeil. ich will das auch können!

[phishfearme2]

50 years from now this will still score big

[TimL9593]

thats weird hahah i didnt even see 3 tenths of deductions there...

[j0shharison]

wow xiao qin had a sugar rush pefore stepping up for his routine obviously ...

[selenity08]

I've never seen any of the men do that on pommel. He makes it look fluid and easy.

[laicai2008]

Absolut Hammer!!! Ich liebe ihn!

[dikaroxmysox]

LMAO it looks like he's breakdancin it up xD

that was INSANELY AMAZING

[aznprc4lyfe]

"just hand him the gold and everybody else can go back to the warm up gym."

wow this guy is as good as lining!

[dancejinz]

What in the world??? Is that even possible?? The extension from his shoulder to his toes is friggin amazing.

[SilenceHCO]

Masterful!

[blindbraille]

Been watching a bunch of these vids, this guy was amazing, but maybe a little less semen gushing out of the announcers ears would have made it a little more watchable.

[bbhouk1]

@blindbraille your comment made me spit up my water, i was laughing so hard.

You're hilarious and i completely agree!

[beeingshortsucks]

commentators are rly gay

[rthanthegymnast]

too dam good!!

[flipkid2233]

announcers are having an orgasm?

[hellsangel87]

THAT WAS GREAT!!!!

[KalaXionE]

just perfect... does he lost some points? don't see where he could have lost just 0.1..

[joeyw1993]

wtf, whats with the commentators?

[mjufpn]

@joeyw1993 pot

[n1no1337]

he is just amazing!

[footbottlesiumai]

he makes it look so easy!!

[abismellsfunky]

WOW HE IS LIKE JKUHGU

[chaihun]

oh I saw Thai flag! woho!^^

[vonkaunaz]

Xiao Qin is one of the few impressive guys in pommel horse.

Watch Valentin Mogilny of the USSR and Marius Urzica from Romania. Those 2 guys are some of the greatest. Mogilny my favorite if you ask me.

[Filip3anut]

those commentators are fags!

[YugoLunax]

I guess I better say this explicitly now since I didn't say it explicitly in my original post (though it was my main point): Magyar simply cannot be the greatest pommel horse worker ever if the execution of his routines are considered bad under today's code.

[benbluesing]

can you help me to sort the elements which has this guy done because i am studiing it and for me it is very hard to recognise them...thanks

just for my exam...

[YugoLunax]

Sorry I didn't see your comment until today. I hope this isn't too late. I'm just gonna list the counted elements. 1) cross support spindle (Magyar): D 2) Magyar travel: D 3) E flops: direct stockli B, direct stockli B, Russian 360 on 1 pommel 4) Wu Guonian (Russian full travel with 720 turn): E 5) Russian 1080 on end of horse: D 6) E flops: stockli, stockli, 2 cross support circles on 1 pommel 7) side support flair spindle 1/1: D 8) double scissor forward: B 9) Sivado travel: D

[YugoLunax]

10) D dismount: stockli to handstand with full travel

Add up all the elements and 2.5 points for fulfilling requirements, and you got a 6.6 difficulty value.

Hope this helps.

[shijun11230]

rofl "just hand him the gold and everybody else can go back to the warm up gym

[NasDa]

Xiao Qin is getting married very soon (or has already married and that is the reason why he didn't attend 09 worlds event). It is very sad that he is retiring :(

[marvincoleman12]

Thats yang wei!

[NasDa]

Dude, yang wei is already married and is retired. Xiao Qin is GETTING married so he missed 2009 worlds that was held 2 weeks ago.

[marvincoleman12]

Well sorry , my bad , chill out

[AmbrosiaLorien]

he's retiring?? i thought he was just taking a break to get married! nooooo...... everyone's retiring!

[NasDa]

Well I am not very certain of it since nothing has been confirmed, I read it on a chinese news website. We certainly hope that he is not retiring but he has competed in 2 olypmics and he is getting married so I won't be surprised if he is really going to.

[Vermontist]

He's the Greatest ever.

[dayspook]

Have you ever seen Magyar in the 1976 Olympics? That's the greatest ever.

[Vermontist]

I certainly have watched the great Zoltan, many times. And you're right, he is the greatest ever. His swing was so relaxed in its perfection, whereas Xiao Qin has tightly perfect form and execution. I just love pommel horse. :)

[YugoLunax]

Magyar's form is considered quite bad by today's standards. He was considerably piked in every one of his circles and generally had bad extension.

[dayspook]

The main difference here is that we are debating - arguing if you will- about Magyar's 1976 accomplishments. Something tells me nobody will remember Xiao Qin's name in 33 years

[YugoLunax]

No, I'm not arguing about Magyar's accomplishments (medals earned, etc). I am saying Magyar's pommel horse gymnastics is bad by today's standards, which it was.

And how many casual gymnastics fans remember Magyar anyway? Note that I am not saying most casual fans will remember Xiao Qin in a couple decades. But I will say this: Xiao Qin's pommel horse skills will most likely still be considered excellent in 30+ years.

[fullbizzy43]

the announcers might as well suck his dick

[pinderpoo]

LOL i knoww!!

[lilsaintapple]

i cracked up the entire time...

they begin the program with... I just love watching this guy swing.

LOL!!

but yeah xiao qin is amazing

[dun4ukwitmebiach]

The commentators are funny as hell!

[AupaPeps]

China rules.

[omxpablo19]

0:41 sounds like the commentator jizzed.

[Sh4dowGin]

guy, they were jizzing the whole time xD

[GnomaticReverie]

Qiao Qin on pommel is in a league of his own.

[harukalover]

haha just like they called Chen Yibing Lord of the rings they should called Xiao Qin Lord of the Horse too!~~LOL

[NoMotif]

holy crap!! He has such good circles! they're so smooth, so gracefull so high too! And his flares are so big! I can't even do more than 5 circles *sniff*

[CcCharlesW]

lol: just hand him the gold and everyone can go back to the warmup gym

[getmauled09]

artemev has the same skill but he isn't nearly as consistant

[Sharjusteric]

@getmauled09 I agree Artemev is amazing as well!!

[safehaven11]

The Chinese is very clean. Xiao is very clean like all the chinese.

[TheSara90]

he looks like Ando from "heroes" xD apart from that he is GREAT, every move is so clean:)

[coolgymnast]

OH GOOD GOD

[KintambosVideoBlog]

It sounds like the commentators are having an orgasm!

[AznMed]

@KintambosVideoBlog lol. pretty funny

[ULibby]

@KintambosVideoBlog LOL I was thinking that when I scrolled down and saw your comment. 

[xppoker]

That was pretty freaken cool!!! The commentators sounds like they're in love with the guy/Qin.

[INgLeSBe]

Perfect gymnastics!

[denisefan]

China rules!!!

[ballethoney]

Commentators? Yep, definitely orgasmic. lol

Amazing routine. I never get tired of watching it!

[natcomber13]

mesmerizing.

[crimsonstate]

Holy fuck...that's spectacular. One of the most difficult apparatus in gymnasticsand and he makes it look effortless and easy.

[tastesawesome]

he has such a fast and extended swing...great stuff

[gymnastdude1000]

holy hell amazing.!!!!!

[gymkid1023]

sasha scores no where near him are u kidding me qin scored a 16.3 atremev scores about a point lower than that

[PringlesLover123]

The commentators are loving this, lol. "It's beautiful.." "It is beautiful"

Xiao Qin is amazing at pommel horse!

[dbxgymnastx]

sasha cannot swing nearly as perfect sn xiao can anything sasha can do ...xiao can do better and short routine means no endurance and lack of skills :D

[kawaiii88]

perfect

[RYBALKOx10]

GOD

[dbxgymnastx]

sashas got nothing on this guy

no one will ever be better

[YDGpowerthree]

i agree with you, but its amazing how sasha can have such a short routine and score nearly the same as xiao.

[TheCollegeboi18]

Sasha is STILL the beast tho!!!!

[juliusoh]

dude bboy the end has some crazy routines too.

please serach bboy mob too

their both crazy.

[Gu3st1602]

Great video, but I wish the announcers didn't sound like they were fucking creamin their pants the whole time.

[jclutter2006]

LOL, I was actually thinking that too.

[LiangJackShan]

Just phenomenal!

[omnigymboy]

That was just stupid, it was that good.

[TinorialPeredhil]

Phenomenal!

[kawaiii88]

he is the best of the world

[denisefan]

2008 Olympics - Men's Team All-Around Gold, individual all-around gold (yang wei),

pommel horse gold (xiao qin),

floor exercise gold (zhou kai),

high bar gold (zhou kai),

parallel bar gold (li xiao peng),

still rings gold (chen yi bing)

7 out of 8 possible golds, the most dominant gymnastics team in Olympic history!!! Period.

[AznMed]

yeah. and it looks like their bodies are built for their events.

[macassar88]

If only Li Xiaopeng had decided to do vault

[denisefan]

yeah I know... then they would probably win all the individual events as well.

[mwyee91]

Xiao Qin is the man! He owns at the pommel horse, rarely do I see gymnasts attack it like he does. Btw does anyone think the commentators sound...orgasmic over his routine? I think it's amazing but lol they take their appreciation to another level.

[skyflame000]

This guy...can seriously work the pommel horse...

[s0meonecall911]

LOL AMERICANS THINK THEY CAN DO BETER LOL MY ASS .........Plus china has more gold medels rightnow so Pwned but usa does have more medel in totalt but its by 6 or 5 but watch were going to catch up CHINA FTW

[lflr4lnco]

wow. The chinese crowd went insane for Sasha Artemev's 15.350. Xiao Qin actually scored like 16.100 in the team finals yet NBC didnt show it.

Xiao Qin on pommel horse, Chen Yibing on rings, Yang Wei on vault and Li Xiaopeng on pbars are things that any self respectin gymnastics fan can not miss.

[violetran]

You are so right.But LI Xiaopeng is better than YANG Wei on vaut. ^-^

[macassar88]

@lflr4lnco Li Xiaopeng on Vault is amazing as well.

[ste1cher]

Ted was the best.He was doing the flair to scissors in Illinois HS in 1972 before anyone.I understand he is a physician in the east now. Do you know of any footage of him.

[YoeriYoeri]

lol first time i've seen a gymnast approach bboy flares!

[dude99966]

How he doesn't bend his legs, and he is strong enough to keep from bending in the back as well. He has amazing extension with great technique. I have yet to see any bboy perform flares with bending their legs and making themselves look heavy. Unlike Xiao Qin makes it look easy and has that feather like appearance. Also I have yet to see a bboy able to stay in one place or able to perform them on the pommel horse.

[YoeriYoeri]

go look up bboy the end (kys

[dude99966]

Good but still unable to keep his legs straight in the back or stay in one spot.

[happyhan1979]

wow, how straight you want? he is no doubt the best on this

[dude99966]

well if hes going to compare gymnastics to breakdancers, He better know what he is comparing to.

[some1x]

Just saw the bboy the end trailer. It is not really the same. BBoy is a mix of dance+music+entertainment+gynm­astics.

>>lol first time i've seen a gymnast approach bboy flares!

However, it is disrespectful to Olympic level gymnasts to say that their flares do not approach BBoys'. At least this video shows Xiao Qin's flares are far superior. Nothing to be ashamed of, as Xiao Qin is an Olympic gold medalist on the pommel horse.

[BboyDeusEx]

Its stupid comparing the two. Gymnastics is all about form and eastethic quality and all that. Breaking is a less restricted freestlye type of movement, so things like bent legs and moving around don't really matter. One of the greatetst bboys (Physicx) usualy does a lot of moves with slightly bent legs, which still looks cool. I still love gymnastics

[hcn9]

just wana say congratulations to Xiao Qin and the men team for finally winning that olympic gold they deserved!!

[cammigurlgonewild]

my god, everybody is complete shite compared to him!!!!

[wuhui]

his guy owns

[hcn9]

i rememba watchin dis guy. hes too good

[jclutter2006]

I hope Sasha Artemev will one day get up to this caliber.

[ipod7000]

My hero

[johnnykalalua]

Now this is a true athlete

[Star8day8]

wow

[shoorablader]

HI IS THE BEST

[alexeldyablo]

sss...creo que los chinos van a ganar muchas medallas de oro en los juegos olimpico, son demasiados buenos en gimnasia

[kevino999]

american comentators-the most gay in the world

[wikct2]
