Bridget Sloan - Floor Exercise - 2009 Tyson American Cup

[seanthefriendlywhale]

what is the music called

[marushk161]

1:06 John Geddert starts to clap to the music to make the crowd clap too!

[KeflezighiFan]

Her full-in double pike really is one of the best ones I've ever seen!

[Nitropanda16]

There is no way that was a 14.75, choreography (or the lack of) did stink though

[GymJuice16]

why couldnt she have been this good at the olympics????

[chinghxd]

i think she was a little underscored here. a little more choreography and this would be amazing!

[blokflip13]

Bridget seems like one of the more graceful gymnasts the Usa has had in a long time, it's sad that with all the transplanted coaches from Russia and Ukraine, we still can't dance well.

[HuggiMa]

I wonder why gymnasts rarely dance in time to their own floor routine.

[flippingfabu]

her tumbling passes are beautiful

[EIZvideos]

shes really good at tumbling... but there wasn't much choreography, it was kind of bland. 

[kayla9101]

2nd floor pass was BEAUTIFUL.

i love her!

[freeBITCH0]

I don't think she scores low on this, her technique to me when she flips is awful, she has the skills, now she needs the perfection to match, when she does that, she'll be jaw dropping

[radicalbacon]

she seems... I dunno, kinda tired?

[jrg305]

how do gymnasts jump so high to have time to do that stuff off the floor?

[TheGymnasticsgirl95]

@jrg305 they have a lot of leg muscles.

[DebbyDemiSelenaFan]

@jrg305 the floor is like springy so it makes u jump and bounce higher which makes it easier to rebound harder and do things.

[Smartyppq]

@DebbyDemiSelenaFan and it kina saves your knees...lol

[AlmightyOwl]

She has such high, beautiful tumbling. same with her vault.

[JTGPCFL]

Huge double pike and amazing full-in!

[iloveyourstory]

I like how the girls today look older and less childlike, still very powerful. We're making good strides out there.

[missgymnasto079]

I love her but i kinda think her pose at the start was kinda unprofessional and her floor music isn good atall.

[ginnydork123]

she is my favorite gymnast along with rebecca bross

[missjpace]

I followed her so much in 09 that I'm hoping she'll have new music for this year haha.

[Gr33nkiwi]

She was so overshadowed by Nastia and Shawn.

Personally, I like her style more than either of them.

[mandilions]

Her choreography is so beautiful!

I noticed she does a lot of heal-toe stepping instead of toe-heeling though. It's kinda of distracting.

[svetlana1993]

what's the third pass? it's 1.5 or 2.5 cause it's looks like 2.5 but i think sloan is not able to do that!

[TwisterFlipp95]

@svetlana1993

its a 2.5. shes a great front tumbler and tumbler in general. shes still got power in her [:

[AmAzInGCTtUmBlErdude]

@svetlana1993 no it's a 2 1/2 front layout. i know its pretty sick. she doesnt get much air on it but can spin really fast to get it around. i almost didnt catch it the first time

[uwoeric]

That stuck piked full-in has got to be one of the most powerful and beautiful skills ever.

[x3lalalaa]

if i finished doing something like that,i would throw up,because i wouldn't be able to breath. that's so hard! i wish i could do that! lol. she's really good!

[cjsvanner33]

this music sounds really familar...am I just remembering olympic trials or has it ever been used before?

[bird0weird0]

Great tumblig, that full in pike is one of the best I've seen

[mlee96]

you kno... i do like this coreography but i like the 2008 coreo a little bit better because it is a little more expressive. but this coreo is a little mor mature for her

[jamesbug2002]

then maybe she is re-tooling her choreo..maybe she will surprise us all this year..?

[CLeighS459]

it was good, but isit me or does it look like shes making the choreo up as shes going along?

[sideshowdee]

welcome to choreography in 2009!

[xTorresGirlx]

Awesome! I'm soo glad she won Nationals!

[nely1000]

what is the name of this song?

[lucascampelovianna]

Araba

[nikirififo]

Araba Instrumental

[seanthefriendlywhale]

@nikirififo yes thats the artist but what about the actual song

[gymnastsal]

dude, she's gonna BEAST the visa championships.

[dagymnast13]

This is my music :)

But even I have to say my choreography is better than hers... She tumbles in completely the wrong times and her choreography is really boring...

[MisanthropistPro]

Her choreo was actually really good in olympic trials

[smartabarn]

that doubble piked at the end is faboules...!

[No1ZmeskalFan]

I actually love her music.....I think she could use better choreo to go with it. Her and Randy Stagebergs music were my favs from 2008

[MisanthropistPro]

why didn't nastia compete?

[nikirififo]

Because she was totally out of form

[Presshandstandgirl]

why?

[Olivia381622]

she's an amazing tumbler, she makes everything look so easy

[NonMatchingUnderwear]

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT

[ninasnyman]

horrible music, but she is lovely

[kayla1507]

ikr!

I think if she had better music she would have gotten a higher score.

[gymnasticsboy3]

do 16.000's exist anymore.these scores are low.i barely saw 15.000's.

[toomuchgoingon]

does she do a triple twist at the end of the first pass???

btw, TOTALLY LOVE HER!!!! her routine is awesome!!!

[TwisterFlipp95]

yup she does.

[GymnasticsAddict]

If she could add some choreography to this routine, I'd be thrilled if she medalled on floor at Worlds. She's definitely a contender with this tumbling, especially if she can get that Randi around.

And her switch ring has improved immensely!

[luv4cookie1]

@GymnasticsAddict Sorry you mean rudi, the 1 1/2 twist.

[gymnasticsrockzz]

Her tumbling is beautiful. She does an amazing job.

[VIZSLAxDogxLover]

I was there.

[liukin95]

i think the new code will only help the gymnast who are graceful and have good exucution take Ivana Hong or example or Nastia and Mattie Larson they have good shots at this new code because they are the ones who acturially have grace in their routeins they all hit their splits ect

[Stella1love]

Y the low score??

[jeyzi]

All of the scores will be lower this quad. Less elements will be counted towards the difficulty score, and the execution judges are stricter. Sloan got a pretty respectable score for a floor routine.

[Hehe762]

no, higher than mattie larson and ivana hong.

[Hehe762]

i <3 her and her fx music. she took out the the wierd thing she did with her leg that she used in the olympics. she's my fav gymnast, you know, next to Ivana Hong and Mattie Larson!

[TwisterFlipp95]

she really doesnt get enough credit for her floor routines.

i just think people started ignoring her floor routine after all the mistakes she made at trialss.

[luvs2flip209]

I love her second pass!! Can someone tell me what it is?

[Ankholympios]

It's a nearly perfect done Piked Full-in (Tsukahara Piked), that means a full Twist in the first layout somersault and then a back somersault piked. I think its a E in difficulty, so 0.50 Points!

[gymnasticsCOP]

Her double pikes and variations are always so high!

[FLACSC74]

Most beautiful Piked Full in , in history of this skill being performed

[NewMinako]

yeah very nice but look the one my Henrietta Onodi at the end of he routine during the Olympics 1992 :)

[TwisterFlipp95]

oh yes, that one is very nice :] especially her one at the end of her floor routine in the AA competition

tied with sloans

[priscilla280]

love her second pass - one of the best i've seen for form

[No1ZmeskalFan]

I think her floor score was a little low. She is one of the best gymnasts we have right now. I didnt know much of her before the 08 season but I am really becoming a fan!

[glenndelossantos15]

Same here. She's so solid now. I can't believe that this is the girl that we have been ignoring in the 2008 olympics. I'm becoming a fan of her now too!!!

[tumblinboy54]

same with me

[TheJordy456]

@No1ZmeskalFan yeah i agree she was scored low but i think the reason why it was so low was on her third pass she didnt quite make it round on the 2.5. but other than that is was really good

[sus611611]

she's going to be the next world floor champion

[tmc8802]

i really hope so. wouldn't mind if she were AA champion too.

[sus611611]

shes going to be the next world champion on floor

[uwoeric]

One of the highest double piked I've ever seen! She's also an incredibly proficient twister... I think she can easily crank around a 3.5 twist. She's training a front 3/1 twist as well.

[espinaca79]

That double pike is so high she could go for a double layout. WHat a shame the rules are since dancing is really lacking here and almost everywhere else. Bridget is a natural dancer and it would be great to see more of that.

[Pandora1997]

shes my favorite gymnast :) did she get ahead of wieber?

[QueenieQue]

No, Wieber took first, and she took second.

[liukin95]

yes

[ItsNastiaFan101]

no, she was 2nd

[glenndelossantos15]

What's the name of the music?

[lafo93]

her new choreography is soo much better now! :) just two/three years ago it was so much simpler with less dancing and lots of poses - this totally works for her :)

good jobb

[riddler5882000]

I love this song -- not this particular cut -- but the actual full song. But I don't think it's gymnastics-capable.

p.s. she has probably the best piked somersaults I've ever seen.

[Europeluva1]

What song is it?

[QueenieQue]

Her piked full-in is also just gorgeous, especially with that stuck landing!

[No1ZmeskalFan]

do you know what this song is called? It sounds familiar

[olympicfreak13]

two words for this floor exercise: amazing, beautiful!

[gymgirl84mex]

Loved her sky high double piked!!!

[leeny11]

she has no eyebrows?!

[whipback2]

She does, they're just thin and light.

[gymheads176]

wow,not many guys can even do a 2 1/2 twist forward

[dAnThEmAn178987]

i love her!!!!!!!!
