four years later, these fluffs make me cry like a blubbering fool. it's so crazy to think 5/6 of that 2008 team are still going for it and are all trying to earn redemption in their own ways. but...with such a deep pool of amazing athletes and a 5 person team, only 1 or 2 of them will realistically make it. i'm gunning for them all so much. bring on 2012.
this fluff STILL gives me chills....and the olympics already happened. makes me realize how intense this sport is- you get one shot every four years, and if you don't make it, its so hard to come back. i look up to these girls so much
i felt bad for shalya when she didn't make the team, but i was sooo happy for alicia and nastia and shawn, especially after alicia didn't make it in 2004
Seriously, there is nothing i want more in 2012 than a gold in team final. I want USA to show the world we are as good as we think, and we have a reason to be cocky :P
Watching this fluff makes me so sad after watching the Olympics. Just look at how well Chellsie and Alicia did, how happy and excited they were, and then their Olympics were full of injuries that made it so they either couldn't compete, or didn't do as well as they had hoped. They both were phenomenal, but it wasn't the Olympics they hoped for.
Brilliant fluff, though. Both of them were amazing.
if anyone has picture requests from trials, let me know... i took over 900 pictures from a pretty decent seat.
although we had passes to all the nights, we only went to the men's final - we definitely went to BOTH nights for the women though, there was no way we were missing that.
i can email the pics or send hard copies... they aren't professional & I don't expect you to pay me for them. i realize that the experience was one most gymnasts would want, and i'd like to share that.
all i ask for in return is patience - i'm going in & out of brain surgery for potentially fatal problems, and taking care of that & living life to the fullest before it's too late (i'm 22) is more important than pictures. but i spend most of my time in bed, so i can send pics from my laptop & print out pictures from home on my picture printer. :-)
I love the fluff! Too bad they really didn't do anything good in Beijing, they only did a couple, they usually do alot!. Hopefully NBC will do some goods ones for London 2012!
i felt kinda let down by the coverage this olympics... maybe it's just me... but i'm still proud of our girls & their results. just not so proud of the coverage!
I also didn't know what "fluff" means. In fact I figured out, but I was not sure. I searched on the Internet in many dictionaries and I haven't found this meaning. So, thanks USANieke for asking, and thanks gymshiv for answering. This fluff is really awesome.
Fluff? okie dokie 'USANieke' fluff means like a sort of almost a montage, can be from about 1 to even 20 mins long, it (usually) includes vido footage, training clips, competiton clips, interviews and normally some naration explaining it all. Theyre like a breifing, or a debreifing of upincoming or already past events that hypes people up, almost like an advert, but longer and more informational... well, that's my opinion anyway... type gymnastics fluff into the search box and see what comes up
@QuittersTry really they refer to it as fluff because its extra. They can use it when ever they need too usually. If they don't have time for it, it might never air. This is more of an opening for the second day.
she does not own the footage! She just posted it for everyone's enjoyment! So i can use it if i want! And if your telling me i stole it, then postlemonkey, and ashleyakaflipper and ect. did too!
no. almost everyone who has the coverage the olympic trials has this video. nbc olympics owns it. and they let anyone use it. except they dont let people use the olympics. but nobody stole it. everone has a right to use it.
i agree nastia is way better more graceful more power shes just amazingg and just better then shawn and it will always be like that as proved in the olympics
How does Nastia have more power than Shawn...or anyone really? And her beating Shawn is not always how it goes in the Olympics. Carly Patterson was power and she beat the ultimate graceful gymnast, Svetlana Khorkina. Andrea Radican was a power gymnast...not that graceful. Mary Lou Retton, Power gymnast. Tatiana Gutsu, power gymnast. If anything, Nastia DISproved what normally happens in the All Around.
Nastia is amazing! but i realized, comparing carly's win in 2004 to nastia's win in 2008, they showed martha going wild with all the other coaches, but for nastia, they didn't show martha once!1 even in event finals. i just thought it was weird. but anyways! nastia's box comes out in september!
