Alexandra Raisman - Floor Exercise - 2010 American Cup

[paiges38]

Does she do any front tumbling in this routine?

[hobulei]

@paiges38 I think the double arabian counts as her front tumbling for this routine.

[smilezzy1]

Alright, Ali... hoping for a new floor routine next month!! And possibly some lip gloss? Personality? Love her gymnastics though!

[MrPokemonmaster0009]

how can you do a double back and a double pike in the same routine

[boggydance]

wow really not very nice shape and form in all the dancing elements and the dancing all together. unlike Liukin all the gymnasts coming from that gym are excellent tumblers but the dancing part really sucks.

[KsiezniczkaTatusia]

@boggydance but Nastia and Alexandra are not from the same gym...

[boggydance]

@KsiezniczkaTatusia i thought they are cause the all wear that awful pink leo.

[KsiezniczkaTatusia]

@boggydance for some reason many Americans wear them... I agree, this colour is awful :)

[Natashaalejandra]

one word amaizing

[LCAmarkymark]

that first pass is great

[XxSportyMusicGirlxX]

ok what's up with ppl being like former olympic gymnasts. i dont mean to like compare or anything but rebecca bross is like nastia liukin and alexandra raisman is like alicia sacramone so.... oh yeah and theyre in the same gym i think and have the same coaches so...

[ffalcons102]

@XxSportyMusicGirlxX i personally dont think rebecca and nastia are anything alike. rebecca's a power gymnast, nastia's a more artistic like gymnast. but i see what you're saying. i just feel like ali's trying TOO hard to be like alicia. its like, dude you're not her, be your own person and stop copying her. like first she takes over her music and i noticed they both do the weird little hop thing before the run for their vault. i know they train at the same gym but still. its incredibly annoying

[XxSportyMusicGirlxX]

@ffalcons102 actually yeah i agree with u. i think i only said rebecca and nastia r like each other bcuz theyre both from WOGA but now that i think of it, shes more like carly patterson... but alexandra does that hand thing that alicia also does like when she puts her arms down sometimes.

[tyeeeeela]

have any of these girls ever head of smiling??? her tumbling is obviously great, but she's a drag to watch. where is the personality??

[ElizabethC1988]

@tyeeeeela The reason the girls don't smile is because they want to focus on winning that is probably why they don't smile their focusing on their goal.

[dancedance2346]

she goes to my school :)

[LMA629]

holy crap!!! that first pass! 1.5 into double arabian. that was a pretty unique combination!

[gymboy1011]

can someone please tell me when you are doing a triple full should you still set wait to see the ground and then twist?

[gymboy1011]

does she do any front tumbling? does that double arabian actuallly count?

[wheresyourheadatt]

when did alicia ever use this routine? tim and elfie have been saying it all season, but i don't recall alicia ever using it. 

[kewelgirl]

@wheresyourheadatt i think they mean the song. it was alicias song sometime during 2005 and 2006.

[FlippinTitan2010]

@kewelgirl Alicia didn't use this music in 05 and 06. I don't think she ever did. Aly's 09 music is the same as Alicia's 03(?) music. but not this that I know of. Do you know where Alicia competed to this music?

[JTGPCFL]

I can see her doing a 3 1/2 full, easily (;

[ambervdptje]

does somebody know the name of this music? please answer!

[ambervdptje]

does somebody know the name of this music??

[idonttan]

She did great but why give her another gymnasts routine? It takes away from her authenticity.

[gymboy1011]

doesnt she need front tumbling??

[gymboy1011]

does she haved any front tumbling, does that double arabian count?

[magg2341]

Haha someone went weeeeeeeeeee!!!

[gymgirl112]

@Pleasurehorse17 it's a round-off 1 and 1/2 twist to a round-off backhandspring double arabian.

[Pleasurehorse17]

Can someone tell me what makes up her first tumbling pass? Excuse my ignorance, I'm a gymnastics fan but by no means a gymnast.

[GymMonkeyAz]

we were listening to floor music on the floormusicexpress disc and I heard this and I wanted it soooooooo bad but my coach didnt really care for it. =( I was so sad. It doesnt really matter though because I cant get a routine until I get all of my skills. =......(

[gabriellesgirl]

So like Alicia Sacramone. I love this girl. Style, elegance. She's got it.

[gymnasticluver13]

was that nastia in the bground?? and does anyone kno why ppl were booing..ik not for her but??

[CobbChallengerGirls]

her looks remind me of jade barbosa. their styles are different but they look alike :)

[bedinvenus]

it looks like shes more comfortable with more somersaults then twisting tumbles great tumbling tho

[BravesGurl1983]

I love this kid!!!

[afgymnast96]

it's so weird because I was actually thinking of switching to Brestyan's but I'll probably wait another year

[BravesGurl1983]

I love that these new kids have awesome people to look up to! Who else would you want as your gymnastics role models other than Carly Patterson, Nastia Liukin, and Alicia Sacramone?

[yellowbanana104]

alexandra has a talent for front tumblings and blind landings. i think this is what the americans are sooo good at.

[GYMNAStGiRL892]

where do you get this footage?

[bedinvenus]

what music is this called?

[KVHolland3]

Whoa she does what Beth Tweddle does...

[baseballrox03]

Marta and rebecca r watchin behind

[7146haley]

i go to brestyans gymnastics and i met her

[amzluvsgym]

my new favourite :) i love the music too. :D

[13shifter]

Can some one find me the video of alicia when she used this music. id like to see it

[jeffdunhamfan22]

I can see Alexandra winning a 2012 all-around medal. If the FIG would make the limit 3 gymnasts per country I believe Alexandra, Rebecca, and Jordyn could all be in the medal hunt. Possibly a US all-around sweep?!?!?!?!

[heyyyitshurls]

i agree!! and i love them all !

[possefever]

Jordyn has got to stop getting injured!

[ronigal92]

I don't see Jordyn at this competition even if she hadn't been injured. Supposidly, she isn't anymore.

[USAgymnast52]

@ronigal92 jordyn easily could have competed at this competition! your right that shes not injured anymore. and she was in the running for competing. shes been at the camps- Jordyn Wieber is currently at National Team Training Camp and has verified Vault (yurchenko 2.5) and Bars scoring a 15.85 and 14.65 respectively. thats what was posted and so she easily could have placed if she competed. im guessing they were just letting others go to the meet since she already won it.

[ronigal92]

@USAgymnast52 Nastia had won it before but she was in it for 4 years, so I don't think that's the reason. They might have wanted her to get back into the swing of things (Jordyn) since she was coming off an injury.

[gymboy1011]

@USAgymnast52 posted where?

[USAgymnast52]

@gymboy1011 it was on gymnastike a while ago

[TwisterFlipp95]

@USAgymnast52

Well, if Alexandra was the replacement for Jordyn, I'm glad she was put instead. I love Jordyn but I'm glad Ally came to this meet instead or else I never would've gotten to notice her talent!

[MRdavenport2010]

@possefever how can she stop getting injured when marta is making her break her neck

[markoparko]

I'm not too worried about the future of American gymnastics.

[jeffdunhamfan22]

She reminds me so much of Alicia

[markedexclusive]

With the potential to become a strong all around gymnast, perhaps?

[iLITTER]

<3 the hand-me-down FX music from ASac

[xobabyboo96]

OMG now I know where this song came from, this has bugged me for a while. It's the song Shawn Johnson danced to in week 10 of DWTS I think it was the argentine tango. thats so weird

[surfer5111]

I think Sam Pezsek used it at one point, someone used it, sounds so familiar

[DuhustBus000]

Alicia never used this music. Tim/elfi said it was because they were expecting her 2009 floor not this new one

[arabiandouble]

no, Alicia never usd this floor exercise, even though Aly has been doing one of Alicia's old routines.

[gluecksbaerchiex3]

Didnt Shawn dance to that music on dancing with the stars=P?Paso doble or argentin tango? might fit;) ..thats where i know it from

[angel2116]

@gluecksbaerchiex3 yea, she did, I knew this music sounded familiar..lol

[surfer5111]

Awesome, but i think she need to clean up her triple, and add a full twist to her third pass, to really shine internationally.

[ronigal92]

@surfer5111 I think in order to clean up the triple, she should add another half twist or possibly even make it a quad. She opens up really early and has too much air time before she lands.

[surfer5111]

She actually lands it perfectly about half the time, she just needs to be more consistant with it, thats all, she can also try it from a whip back maybe, either way, she has a lot of potential.

[Gymnastics4Life98]

@ronigal92 actually i think you might be wrong because if you pause the video at 0:37 the twist is actually underrotated just a little bit so i would say she should clean up the triple by stalling the rotation to help her control her twist better and that will help her to stick it instead of doing an iffy 3.5 twist. if she cleans it up, however, i do agree, she can think about learning that 3.5 because she definetly has a lot of airtime.

[GawkyBallerina]

@ronigal92 She competed a 3.5 at her home meet last year :)

[LMA629]

@ronigal92 a 3.5 or quad would be incredible!!! ive never seen a girl do a quad on floor but ive heard nastia liukin did it once

[tmwalkerm]

@ronigal92 oh yeah, she easily add another half and still have lots of time to spot the landing. Her air sense is amazing for someone with such long lines. I think she's amazing :)

[tmwalkerm]

@ronigal92 has anyone landed a quad? I don't think I've ever seen anyone do it and actually complete it?

[TamarjanFan95]

@tmwalkerm Nastia Liukin did

[tmwalkerm]

@TamarjanFan95 thanks :)

[PhenixJoe]

@ronigal92 I think she's actually one of the cleanest twisters in the sport today. She sticks that triple today with no step back or crossed legs more than any other gymnast I've seen. This routine is obviously not a good example of that though.

[blokflip13]

@surfer5111 She did upgrade to a piked arabian double instead of the double tuck back

[uwoeric]

I don't remember Sacramone doing this music, it sounds similar to something she has done, but not the same. I know Raisman's 2009 music was exactly what Sac used in 2003 though.

[ronigal92]

I don't remember it either. I think it might just be the routine, not the music.

[jeffdunhamfan22]

@ronigal92 Tim and Elfie thought she was going to do her 2009 floor.

[caramelcreamsauce]

a 1,5 to double arabian. STUCK.

is she freaking kidding!

thank you for uploading this!

she's mini-asac!

[meganblunck]

She totally is! I love her. She's amazing! Stay tuned for an Aly montage :)

[caramelcreamsauce]

Yay! I can't wait!

I love her too!

[ronigal92]

Hahahaha that was me on my other account. Forgot what account i was on :)

[caramelcreamsauce]

hahaha I guessed it was you! ;p either way I cant waiittt!
