WC Rotterdam 2010: Women's Team Final

[Deckey87]

What is the music??? Is the most beautiful sport *_* I love it!!!And I have done it! <3

[concreto20]

Russia finally took the place has always had since 1950

[Pedoblast]

who's the girl at 0:07?

[IWillRunAlways]

@Pedoblast Alicia Sacramone, U.S.

[IWillRunAlways]

what is the music? it is captivating and beautiful

[maurodiscipulo]

The USA gymnastics are the best!

[Kazak844]

Да, СССР приемник России, а эти 15 стран новые и не имеют спортивной истории. Финляндия и Польша имеют спортивную историю с 1917 года ,прибалтика с 1917 по 1939. Что тут мудрить. Не понятны иностранцы, они что ратуют за восстановление границ России? Но нам не нужны узбеки и грузины. 200 лет мы их готовили к самостоятельной жизни. Не истребили как индейцев. Грузинская резервация, польская резервация:( Достижения Англии в период когда у нее были колонии это достижения Англии, а не США или Индии

[alessioboscolo]

@Kazak844 yeah! i think the same thing! >_> -.-''

[Pedoblast]

@alessioboscolo ahahah

[djprojectus]

I congratulate the Russian team, they deserved to win by the fact that they made fewer errors. Unfortunately for you, foresthill107, what they said, vermont and sprinklefriend is true, you can not get the glory of great gymnastic women who belonged to other countries that have been mentioned and assign them to Russia. Artistic Gymnastics is one thing and politics is something else, do not confuse them. Enjoy the victory of Russia and not the Soviet Union.

[sprinklefriend]

does ANYONE else out there think that perhaps Italy has confused its team's washing machine with their cotton-candy maker?

[allaroundcoach]

@sprinklefriend i sure do! it looks like some weird 80s' blue bubblegum. and it not flattering on anyone!!

[Anthonyb2644]

I am so happy for the Russians!! They were so ecstatic they had one the team gold! Well deserved!

[europegymfan123]

i wonder y they blocked ekaterina out of the group hug. thats odd and kinda mean. u can see her fighting her way into the circle. so sad. and they shouldve used ekaterina on the bars for sure. she had a higher score in qualifying so ya. but im sooooooo glad russias back. yaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!­!!!!!!

[emmyjo720]

I think the Russians must of had some money invested in the sport, they were so cash strapped before. Now even their leotards are better quality, in 2004 they were terrible. Russians at the top of gymnasts is how it should be, Aliya Mustifina has all the classical balletic grace, Tatiana Nabieva has innovation and the Ksenia's a brilliant too. It was also great that it happened in Rotterdam, where the USSR were famously defeated by the Romanians in 87.

[mahrerst70]

Superbe émotions !!

[Shawngymnast100]

where can i find the vids of the team finals??

[KaeslinFan2]

im sooooo glad the russians won. but havnt they won a team title before? i might be wrong...

[Vermontist]

@KaeslinFan2 Nope.  The USSR, of course, won many World Championships. But the Russians had not.

[KaeslinFan2]

@Vermontist Ahhh, right!! haha i knew that... :)

[Vermontist]

@KaeslinFan2 It's all good. :)

BTW, I like your 'screen name.' I kind of like Kaeslin, too. It's nice to see Switzerland doing so well lately.

[KaeslinFan2]

@Vermontist i know!! i love her to! i wish she had won a medal on vault at worlds, but theres always next year!

[foresthill107]

@Vermontist nope,my dear ,you are wrong Russia is the heir of USSR therefore victories of USSR are victories of Russia.

[Vermontist]

@foresthill107 Okay, I hadn't looked at it that way. Could I say the same for the other former USSR states?

[foresthill107]

@Vermontist nope my dear, check who is in security council in UN.One of the major places was USSR then it was owned by Russia. IT IS A FACT THAT RUSSIA IS HEIR OF USSR. You can say all you want(the nations of gymnasts and etc) but EVERYTHING THAT BELONGED TO USSR now BELONGS TO RUSSIA. (NOT UKRAINE....)

[sprinklefriend]

@foresthill107 that's like saying the same thing for ukraine, yet i doubt you'd go that far. most of the great soviet gymnasts were NOT technically russian, they were from other members of the soviet union.

[sprinklefriend]

@foresthill107 for example:

valeri liukin: kazakhstan

boginskaya: belarus

chusovitina: uzbekistan

omelianchik: ukraine

olga korbut: belarus

tatiana gutsu: ukraine

the list goes on...

[Vermontist]

@sprinklefriend Nelli Kim, Liudmilla Tourischeva, Larissa Latynina (well, Russian-Ukranian,) Albert Azarian, ...

[gymnasticsfan14]

Vanessa Fareri has gained alot of weight! Just saying!

[gymnut83]

@gymnasticsfan14 I thought the same thing when I watched the team final! However, she's an actual woman now and no longer a little girl. IMO, she dosen't look bad at all. She just a little thicker.

[gymnasticsfan14]

@gymnut83 Yeah I kno, she dosn't look bad...she just looks thicker...like you said! I'm just saying, she use to be so skinny! I wonder what happened!

[gymnut83]

@gymnasticsfan14 I'd say her age has a lot to do with it. Even tho she made the floor finals she's watered down the D score a lot. When she won in 06 I remember she was doing a double double on floor. It could be injuries too. I'm actually surprised she's still going. Then again I'm sure part of her wants to get back to the form that won her the all around even tho she won with a fall on beam. Crazy LOL! Anyway, she may be a bit bigger/thicker but she can still sell it on floor! lol :-)

[MRdavenport2010]

im very happy for them.i could see the coaches soul say FINALLY!!!

[hanakyne]

i am so happy for the russia the contry off cymnastic since the beginning congratulations thez deserve that

[ArtemisDianaSelene]

Aliya Mustafina has just won AA. She is the new champ. Congratulations.

[Hathor9901]

Thanks :)

btw here is a look on the All around qualifiers , its on my blog which is on my channel :)

[Rhubarbyify]

@Coolgirly94 Mattie missed her front salto from 2.5 twist (so no forward tumble) and hands down on double pike to finish.

[MrZaack]

Congrats Russian girls... u deserved it!!!

[Luciaellana]

Russia's reaction after results is so beautiful to watch. Their happiness gives pleasure... :D.

Love this team even if I wanted China to win the gold medal.. :).

[luciendytioco]

Congratulations Russia! I've been waiting for this moment to finally come.

[xocase09]

@Coolgirly94 im pretty sure thats alicia.. she hurt it during her vault in the team finals.. she was holding it after she looked a little in pain..

[xocase09]

i love the fist pump from Macko and the team huddles they make me happy!!

[HollisterGirl412]

i'm happy for the russians :) although they had 3 fall, they had the diffuculty, and they haven't won since 1991,which is a long time, although, apparantly they did terrible in podium training so it's good they managed to pull it together.

i got goosebumps at the end of this when they start crying and stuff :P idk, why :L

[allaroundcoach]

@TheUsafangrant they got beaten by a better team that night. it happens, nothing to feel bad about, they gave it their best shot. if we play the "if" game, we could say that larson's FX mistakes cost them the gold, but that's a dangerous -and nasty!- game.

[allaroundcoach]

i was cheering for the usa and the brits, but i am so glad the russians won, by all accounts they sounded like they deserved to win. losing out to a better team is nothing to be ashamed of, although i have a feeling martha won't see it that way...

[georgert]

For lack of a better place to comment: 1. After listening to the British commentator, I swear I will never ever complain about Al Trautwig again. 2. Why did we see more of rumpled looking Chinese in the stands waving flags than athletes performing?

[Rhubarbyify]

@georgert blame the Dutch host broadcasters, wasn't the Beeb's fault. They don't get to choose the stream. I agree though, bloody annoying. And the swirling cameras are sick inducing too, especvially on bars

[Vermontist]

Watching Nabieva's facial expression change from dread to glory is one of the most beautiful images I've ever seen. :)

[fabogymnastics]

@Vermontist I couldn't agree more, so emotional, GO RUSSIA

[blokflip13]

@Vermontist I agree. Seeng the Russians joy when they found out they won made me almost want to cry.

[ChainChomp2]

The Rotterdam 2010 facebook page spoiled the ending for me because I just happened to scroll past it, the broadcast in USA wouldn't happen for 6 hours since the competition lol. Good luck in all-around and event finals!

[Salamancabanda]

Congratulation russian princesses for the gold !!

[13shifter]

The celibration at the end made me cry it was so beautiful

[comanecisalto1]

GO RUSSIA!!!! They were so gorgeous too, I've never seen a Russian gymnast who isnt beautiful!

[gabrielmcdonough]

wooowww my  lovely russia :'(

[KVHolland3]

@TheUsafangrant They got beat by a better team...and I love it!

[AgymnasticFAN]

Ksenia Afanasyeva looked really pretty tonight! Her routine was the best of the entire night (FX)! I shed tears, not afraid to admit it. Afanasyeva usally shows no emotions, but tonight her personality came out. FX EF will be exciting for me. Спасибо и поздравления России!

[StefanieEs009]

I'm so happy the russian team won! They really deserve it!

[22umbrellas]

Great montage! Does anyone know the music?

[mhm05]

Love the celebration at the end!!

[tchachinafan]

GOOOOO RUSSIA!!!!

[toribuss]

go russians! so happy for them! and happy the u.s. got silver too

[sochisochi]

Russia is back I am crying ..... so happyyyyyyyyy

[kakumei77]

Dammit this dumb trailer ruined the ending for me. was going to watch this in its entirety when it airs! Oh well! Why show anything at all on youtube if you can"t show the WHOLE thing stupid!

[lepetitpoulet]

@kakumei77 why come on youtube and watch videos if you don't want to know the outcome until you've watched it in it's entirety when it's aired. Genius. LOL

[KseniaSemenovaFan]

i´m so happy, Russia won!!!! The 1st Team gold in history for Russia!!! i´m just a little said for the poor showing of the chinese team!

Happy bday Ksenia Semenova!!! You got the best present!!!

[sqekcx]

@KseniaSemenovaFan

The Russian team had a poor showing too. It's just that it wasn't that poor in the judges eyes.

[KseniaSemenovaFan]

@sqekcx what´s your problem? I didn´t say they were perfect, they made major errors but others made more, their start values were just better. I don´t like this scoring system either!

I was just happy , that USA didn´t win! The chinese team just had more poor routines than Russia and USA and i like the chinese team, so i am sad!

Go Russia!!! ;P

[sqekcx]

@KseniaSemenovaFan

What's your problem? Why did you get all defensive? I don't understand this comment.

The Chinese didn't have worse routines.

[KseniaSemenovaFan]

@sqekcx usually chinese have great routines and i love them, but not that day. They have two falls on UB, one on BB, their vault is not as good as Russias or Us.

And I was just commenting on what you wrote, also to Fig! have a nice day!

[sqekcx]

@KseniaSemenovaFan

I'm sorry I've been rude in the previous posts. I still think the Russians' sloppiness should not bring them a gold medal, but anyway.

[sqekcx]

What's your problem FIG? The scoring was awesome in 2009 and all of a sudden execution doesn't matter anmore. WTF is going on? Incomplete twists, straddled legs in preflight, tucked legs in so-called laidout position, yeah just give them the full value and make sure they have e scores in the 9s. Heel down before the turn is complete, 1.5 Y turn and a little bit more? No problem give them the Ds. Tucked front full after 2.5 twist and a major wobble on landing? Silver medal. Yeah RUS FTW.
