Top 20 Amanar: Yurchenko-back layout 5/2 twist

[olgafre]

Maroney!!!

[Pagan1123]

The first 10 had terrible landings...

[flipflopgymnast12]

what are the desgrees signs for??

[MrJST94]

hmmm... I think that Rosu should have ended in the top 5, but that is my opinion.

Cheng Fei has the best for shure!

[lilypod3]

now you should put Mckayla Maroney's Amanar in form 2010 US Nationals

[LCAmarkymark]

Weiber's Amanar is better than these...she is great

[liukin95]

@LCAmarkymark I think McKayla Maroney had the best Amanar as she stuck it at nationals last year but I think Fei's vault in 2005 is still better than Wiebers.

[LCAmarkymark]

@liukin95 Is McKayla still competing? I thought she was out. Im glad to here she is still around. Fei's vault was great but for current gymnast Weiber's vault at the America's Cup was pretty great...the only event I liked from her lol

[liukin95]

@LCAmarkymark She is still competing, she defeated Wieber in the all-around at Jesolo this year.

[LCAmarkymark]

@liukin95 Thats amazing. Wow the Trails are going to be crazy with all this talent

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

Rosu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[Junon999]

Haha... the vault that no one has ever stuck in competition....

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@Junon999 Actually in August, McKayla Maroney of the US did at Nationals. She was only 15.

[Junon999]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 I'll be damned!

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@Junon999 Haha, it was pretty amazing. I wasn't there, but on youtube anyway.

[Junon999]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 The envelope for gymnastics just keeps getting pushed! It's great. I know I'm in the minority, but the new scoring system helps it.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@Junon999 Haha, yeah. I understand the new scoring system well but Nadia Comaneci once said something I found beautiful. "It's so hard to define sports like ours and we had something unique. The 10, it was ours first and now you give it away." This was what gymnastics was about. Perfection. And now it's not.

[jukodebu]

this is all the same shit- who cares?

[AlexCorralMexico]

People please, FOCUS! It is not just about sticking the landings, please pay atention to the form, for instance check how long Cheng Fei waits before start twisting, and her impecable form while she's in the air.

[all4uanew]

A bit dramatic on your verbiage, no?



[MrJST94]

nice, exept for the Rosu thing;) only i think that one other american girl should be in this also. because she actually STUCK an Amanar ;)

[happystuff12345]

I love Cheng Fei's vaults :)

Is it just me or does her name come up a lot on this list ;)

[slavaro1992]

Aliya Mustafina (Russia) did Amanat at Worlds 2010. And she did it very well.

[JohnPhilipSousa519]

@slavaro1992 Well? Please. Sure she's a fabulous gymnast, but her execution on any power event is terrible. Her legs look helicopters because her feet are crossed more than Kristen Maloney's and her knees are bent. And that's nothing to say of her pre-flight form! Jordyn's is technically flawless, but Makayla Moroney takes 1st in my opinion. She makes it look so easy! And she can stick it.

[bobbipins92]

McKayla Maroney Visa Championships 2010 Day 2....takes new first place. She STUCK it.

[LoveGym96]

Did Simona perform the Amanar for the first time in the olympic ef?

[TheJordy456]

JORDYN WIEBER IS NEXT HAHAHA

[alfred929]

None of them could stick their landing, and some even looked under-rotated.

[Richifaye]

It seems like all about Cheng Fei. She is a legendary lady

[lylaha]

Rosu should be way higher, around 3.

Maroney stuck her amanar at Visas!

[AndeeDeeKate]

Rosu's perfect!

[courtneysk8s]

Sad that those are the best examples of that vault and still most of them have really ugly landings.

[sprinklefriend]

i find it amusing that none of them were amanar herself!

[hinginator]

Wow, look at the height Monica Rosu gave that vault!!

[TwisterFlipp95]

I think 1&2 should be switched; its a hard choice but I feel like her Beijing EF one ahd much better form and just looked better in general.

And I just wanted to point out that on #15 I think it's ridiculous how cheng was only credited for doing a double on that vault!

[teteuomaislegal]

Janaina Silva from Brazil

brazil have big gymnasts

[liukin95]

I've read an artical saying that Bridget Sloan has been throwing amanars in training :P

[KaeslinFan]

next Gymanst to do an amanar is:

Tatyiana Nabyeva of Russia

she performed it at the Japan Cup.

It was horrific.

[missmouse35]

@KaeslinFan she was trying to do a triple twisting yurchenko if u can believe it! pretty much she and her coach are just trying to get the move completed so they can make history, i dont think they really care if its clean. it was really ugly :(

[diego068]

Tessy123 → Jamie K - Broken Keys

[Tessy123]

What is the name of the song?

[DJT113]

number 1 should be..... Simona Amanar cus she created it =)

[javajunkie6]

have you SEEN her's? It's hideous! She falls off the mat.

[Fussims]

You know... there's a video of Simona Amanar performing an Amanar at the 2000 Europeans Podium Training, and she landed it pretty well, but she didn't compete it.

You can see it if you type ''Named Skills Montage''

[javajunkie6]

Never saw that one :). Here I as thinking Zamolodchikova did the best Amanar on the old horse. Well, she did compete the best Amanar on the old horse.

[mo0rrisz]

i've heard that a russian junior gymnast did an amanar at the japan cup

[danielcnsilva]

Yes... Her name's Tatiana Nabieva!

[tumblinboy54]

jordan wieber will be the next one she already performong it

[joaopumper]

how dare you place Johnson AHEAD of Rosu?

[pikedjaeger]

Agreed. Rosu should be number two after Cheng Fei's during the 05 worlds.

[all4uanew]

@joaopumper a bit dramatic on your verbage, no?

[agussosa3]

anna pavlova is the next ;D;D

[doublepike]

Jordyn wiber of usa is throwing them

[morenodelaorilla]

Rosu and Fei take the lead.

[NewMinako]

I would put rosu second

[agathayy]

i love Cheng Fei of course..!

she rocks

she is just excellent in every aspect

[sinhutabes]

and where is simona jaja

[damyolympic]

i agree with you too!!!

[amygym]

I agree with your #1 pick but I think Jade (#4) should have been #2 - it was sooooo good! Rosu's was really great too, I think those would be my top 3! :)

[lizzle7654]

Definitely agree with #1, in fact the top 3 were really really good. But I think Rosu could have been bumped up just a coupe from where she was, I loved watching it it was like this slow evolution of a vault gradually improving each time you see it. Well done

[BCONTRAT]

I agree with your #1 pick, though Rosu' EF should be #2, and several of the vaults you included by Cheng and Johnson are not completed Amanars.

[danielcnsilva]

oh guy! you love cheng fei!!!

[anniemontgomery]

personally i thought monica rosu's amanar should be a little higher in the ranking.

[gabrielmcdonough]

i think that too

[YTsockzAX]

Cheng Fei... simply fabulous!

[dannieLukoos]

cheng fei the best ever

[guitikepo]

Jade Barbosa AA Beijing 2008 ???
