Jordyn Wieber - Floor Exercise - 2009 Tyson American Cup

[inlove101100]

One thing I found out about her the other day is that she is autistic.

[Elififa]

Aaah! my eyes. Get a tan for god's sake. Excellent work however.

[jkmycko1]

@Elififa I have a feeling she's pretty busy with training...and she's only 13.

[lovelove395]

i was there :)

[0o0shawty0o0]

omggg a gymnast that smiles!!! woww first time i see that.

[kundun5]

Hate this style of gymnast. Can't believe that this is our hope for gold in London.

[LAURAROX555]

When they said she was 13...

i was like "WAIT....WHAT?!"

[supercheertay]

BUT.... can she do a cart wheel ;)

[TheAlexamary]

The American team is in desperate need of a choreographer

[pizzawithmushrooms94]

is she going to the 2012 olympics?

[Huskyowner2007]

She looks so cute! ^ ^

[MissEmily4ever]

Did he just say shes THIRTEEN?!?!? She looked young but thirteen? AMAZING!!!!!!!

[Presshandstandgirl]

And now she's a World Champion!!

[AJosie123]

holy crap 13!!

[smudge2811]

Jordyn here really reminds me of Carly Patterson in 2003!

[MaryEllenCobb]

shes great!!

[lizziepink15]

jeez she is just spot on on those landings...great gymnast

[falpalemily]

Her floor music is so cheesy lolz

[sashakovaks]

@mybundythebear

But what about acro?! SSSOOO. GOOOD.

[cwaykid2]

It's so fun to watch her grow!!

[OriganallyToowie]

Worst music ever. Lol

[hulufan8]

If she's thirteen I have a problem.... I can do all that but I'm 15

[heirofskil]

@hulufan8 aw sure you can sweety.

[cheerleadingrocks111]

I'm only 10 and I'm on level 3 :/ not close at all ugh!!! Lol but she's only 13 dangg amazing

[turtlepond101]

she's amazing! I'm so jealous cuz I'm 13 and only a level 7

[TheZwinkyStuff]

her skin glows!

[sweetycakes1012]

Holy!!!! She's only 13!!!! We are like china now!

[liljayyo1]

I'm so proud of her she's come a long way in just a few years shes incredible!!

[emilydowner]

I'm glad she ditched this floor routine, it seems too easy for her

[whateverdude383]

ohohoho! :P

[XxjceeT6xX]

After the 2 1/2 twist combo, you just hear someone say, "YES!"

[ImposssibleIsNothing]

@XxjceeT6xX That would be John Geddert lol. he gets really into it

[XxjceeT6xX]

@ImposssibleIsNothing Very enthusiastic! Haha

[bernardmvella]

@AnimalsTwilight Who on earth can dismount with a double layout? Not gonna happen.

[kaykaya769]

shes 13? omg. i only have my layouts......

[TreMcfarland]

@Californialiving10 If you have been a gymnast before or has been following it for a very long time like others you'd complain too, there is a way to be graceful, have good choreography, show your personality, be clean, AND have difficult tumbles. Its called ARTISTIC Gymnastics for a reason :D.

[soberanis100]

@TreMcfarland PREACH!!! :D

[Californialiving10]

I hate when people who complain that there's not enough dance in gymnastics. if you want to see flow go watch ballet.

[c140075]

@Californialiving10 Go watch Oksana Omelianchik's floor routine from 1985. Now that's a fantastic routine. It's got the perfect mix of tumbling, dance, charm and style! If you updated the tumbling, that could still be a competitive routine today!

[mybundythebear]

@Californialiving10 OH MY GOSH YES! And there's too much acrobatics in dance these days. I am a dancer, but I have enormous respect for gymnasts and I adore watching it. People expect to see elements of both in both. Not true dance or true gymnastics. Little elements here and there are good, but these days t here's too much cross over for my taste. I have to admit, even just watching I get annoyed at the people wanting more dance.

[dolphinchick3]

@Californialiving10 ikr itz not called gymDANCEstics

[Midvalley711]

Seems like all gymnasts do now-a-days is stop...do a spin/jump....stop....do a tumbling pass...stop....ect. Where's the flow? Boring!

[maddimayhem15]

I love her coach when she lands the piked double back! He's like, "Yea! Fist pump time!"

[XxlilbabexX11]

Is her first tumble a full in? 

[marushk161]

@XxlilbabexX11 Yes.

[renent81]

She reminds me of Shawn Johnson a lot...You can see her smile cuz shes enjoying every single minute there..just like Shawn :)

[IsMaithLiomEmma]

Choreography is sooooo reminiscent of all of the karolyi choreography!

[turtletortuise]

Her tumbling is great! Everything else..a little awkward lol. So talented though.

[chinghxd]

this was very cute i admit =).

although i really miss shawn johnson at these events....

[aLeXrOcKs12599]

@chinghxd i miss shawn too. im so happy shes making a comeback for 2012!

[salali6]

@livelaughsmile100

nah it's really not, I've had them for several meets and by the end of the meet I completely forgot it was there.

[jogalevel3]

i love watching her coaches reactions lol there great i love her

[Jenivera]

She def grew in the last 2 years. And it def effected her while she was training if u watch her later performances.

[rubinco]

Anyone who says her tumbling isn't amazing is stupid, but I must say her jumps leave something to be desired for me. They're FINE, they just don't go above and beyond-- though I just watched Nastia's floor routine so I guess I'm biased.

[gymnastagirl141009]

shes wearin nastias aa gold leo!

[Hasoginy]

They should change her floor music. A nice floor music will make her routine stands out more and more beautiful. She is a beautiful gymnast, just need to have better choreo and music.

[VocalMusicology]

Why is the dancing aspect of artistic gymnastics choreography so neglected? I've been a gymnastics fan since 1992 when I was eight years old (and when I realized that I loved tumble runs but could never actually do one). I've never understood though why the dancing seems to receive so little attention. I have been dancing for 20 years and it just strikes me as odd that the the beautiful tumble runs are the only focus, the gymnasts often look as if they couldn't care less about the dancing.

[xknight25]

way to go!!!

[catholic3m]

<3 the music! But, the truth is it just isn't the right one to use for a floor routine. I <3 her music now though!:D

[rayjackson2006german]

wow .. nice american sports woman ! GREETS FROM GERMANY

[pimpernell01]

I like her....... slower more elegant choriography would make her........ extraordinary

at the moment she's VERY VERY good !

[Trampoliningx]

shes incredible at 13! i keep thinking shes 16! :L she gets so much height on everything, yet still manages to land everything clean! especially her spilt leaps! :OO

[FlippinTitan2010]

YAY! She's competing this year too! Ahh <3 It's gonna be a showdown with Mustafina!

[bandersnatch6546]

She reminds me of Dom Moceanu!!

[ppitsplace]

she doesnt remind me of shawn johnson like most people say.. she reminds me of carly patterson. (:

[LCAmarkymark]

I think she is doing great things a little stiff but great for 13.

[musicisinmeforever]

I've heard that she's been compared to Shawn Johnson...nothing like her.

[TormanSteven]

Music is horrible, and she lacks any intensity

[kristinaalannah]

@TormanSteven you have to remember that she is only 13 here. she isnt as mature, so i think the music is fine, for her at the age. Now though, she should have better music

[AlpizarFernandaG]

very good i can do that

[yecatsb]

I love Jordyn's gymnastics but she has got to get better choreography! She has always struggled in the overall performance. She's potentially one of the USA's best hopes for gold in London (AA). Martha.......help her! Tammy Biggs.......help her! Nastia.....help her! good luck Jordyn!

[volleyballgurly15]

@yecatsb she dose have new choreography and trust me its way better!

[aylakellfan]

not a big fan of the music

[chocolatefan1711]

@sugarNspice1357 But you can see her coach in the backround!! ;)

[selenasuperfan100]

i love how her coach reacted after she stuck the double pike lol

[goodyougetastar]

Her round-off back handspring preparing for the double pike was in beat. Fun routine. :)

[karma212]

wait... during Olympics top scores were in the 15's and 16's so what does that say about all the gymnasts at the American Cup? (or is it diff. scoring?)

[afgymnast96]

@karma212 in the 2005-2008 code, the top 10 skills were counted, resulting in higher D scores. in the 2009 code, the top 8 skills are counted, so the D scores are lower.

[peaceluvcheer97]

Yay shes from michigan!!!

[peaceluvcheer97]

I like the music and i like her but just not put together the music should be for different coreography but the routine was still amazing!

[sodapop77777]

AMAZING routine... bad floor music....

[lindseylee77]

THIS IS THE WORST MUSIC I'VE EVER HEARD!

[bunnygirlsusie]

She will go far :)

[gymnasticsfan14]

My schools versing her school tommarow for homecoming! :)

[SUMMERxISxMYxTHANG1]

shee really reminds me of me.. haha i have same hair and age and everything just not in the olympics yet!

[stargonz]

omg!!! she is amazing and her dancing is so smooth and her connections are great.

[MyXLastXTango]

wow she's only 13

[garyj79]

is it just me or does she have similar poses,facial expressions and hand movements as Carly Patterson???? I noticed it on beam aswell tbh.........

[ilovelibertyTYC]

she is so cute!!! How old is she here? Is she going to the olympics?

[dbhmr]

I understand she's 13, but this is really dismal choreography and music selection. Is this what women's floor has come to?

[markedexclusive]

@dbhmr Check out her new routine from Pacific Rims!

[gymnast4life04]

how old is she



[gymbert13]

I Jordyn is amazing ... and she is only 13!

But I'm sick of the commentators talking about Jordyn when other gymnasts are compeating,its so rude, I mean she is a great gymnast but i wish the commentators weren't always talking about her.

[TheGymnasticsgirl95]

The stick on the last pass was amazing.

[ffalcons102]

honestly, i didnt really like this routine. her tumbles were great, no doubt. but her choreography was just soo...blah and bland. the music wasnt all that great either.

[funky17620]

@ffalcons102 her new routine is a thousand times better....its one of my current favorites!

[MOBROOKS]

lmao at the commentators at the end "she looks like she's been around for years.. well she has she's 13." lol

if she was a gymnast for china she would have already competed in the 08 olympics!! hahahahaha!!

(they cheat is what I'm sayin) lol

[stavrinou1998]

she is undermarket .Why14.650 ? I would give her a seventeen for EXCELLENT floor exercise...

[dannyradar]

@stavrinou1998 well 14.650 is actually a good score on floor. since they can no longer do 5 passes, scores will be lower than we saw at last olympics. also, at 1:29 she fell out of her triple turn and that was a couple tenths, also her dance needs to improve a little bit and be more polished. however, i have no doubt in my mind that she will be all there for 2012.

[evethesensei11]

@stavrinou1998 although I'm not saying she's very good first she has doesn't have a HUGE start value and second she has quite a few form breaks during almost all her passes She's a good gymnast for 13 and is definitely one to watch out for in 2012.

[iwinyoulose101]

oh god this music makes my ears bleed.

[chuckdog1231]

omg i cant beleive that she is only 13 yeaars old im 12 and i just learned s roundoff double backhandspring

[ASPaez1965]

not that good

[afnanp]

SHE DOESNT DESERVE A 14.640 ON THE FLOOR SHES SO MUCH BETTER

[TwisterFlipp95]

@afnanp

Thats just the way scoring is on floor now; they cant step out of their tumbling and she had landing deductions on the first 3 passes.

Scores on floor are low now; the only 15 I've seen scored on floor since the start of this COP is Bridget Sloan at the 2009 VISAS.

[gymnast937]

@afnanp She still won with that score...i bet she didn't complain.

[gymnastlevel9]

she is only 13?! wow thats amazingg and she looks like a 16 or 17 year old ha. she is a great gymnast

[fluffyhuny]

@gymnastlevel9 that's EXACTLY what i was just going to comment!

that she looks much older than 13 and she's a fantastic gymnast!!!

and so pretty too! she could have a career as a model or actress later on!

[cheer4gym]

her chprepgraphy this year is much better! i just saw her at pacific rim and it was actually extremely enjoyable, great music and choreography and she really put her personality into it.

[porfavorism]

she...bounces. in a good way

beautiful passes, too. She totally nailed that last one

[StickITGymnast9]

Shes 13!!!!!!! Of course shes gona pick some funa and exotic music and not be lame and robotic! nothin wrong with nastias music or anythin i love nasts cuzz it fits her! but apparently shes not that lame type of slomo girl GO JORDYN!(:

[zephyr7wild]

she tumbles really well but her routine is so boring. its not her fault she has terrible music and coreography but still..

[mycajona]

She is so strong for a 13 year old gymnast.

[jumpinggymnast5]

i love her coach's reaction to her stuck double pike!

[MiiAmoure]

@jumpinggymnast5

Haha, yes!

[206025]

that was a really good double pike like seriously flawless and she sticks it perfectly. shes really good

[HailieNichole1995]

Is it just me or does she look like Carly Patterson in the face?

[iTumbleToo]

@HailieNichole1995 I think she looks more like Mary Lou, personally.

[julmastra]

I think

[GLCgymnast111407]

omg she is sooooo amazing... and she is only 1 year older than me!!! who i am embarassed!!!!

[Mikkilov]

she kind of reminds me of carly patterson

[gymnastx0931]

13 omg!!!

wow shes really good

she gonna be in teh olympics maybe when shes 16 ha imagine what she will beable to do then lol

[MacNCheeses]

wow im a 13 year old gymnast im not nearly as good as that :()

[ThePingShowJL]

I can't believe she's only a year older than me. 13! Wow... She is the first gymnast since i saw Nadia Comaneci's performances that has shown the spunkiness that I adore.

[tatulover2120]

jordan weiber...and justin beiber...haha simular names

[JordanWieber]

@tatulover2120 wieber haha

[LCAmarkymark]

@tatulover2120 they should date lol

[javajunkie6]

I understand what some people are saying about her just being a junior, but the Russian juniors have much better choreography (well, some are senior now). I don't know if Jordyn has what it takes to be someone that I really like. I'd much rater match a routine with great choreography and so-so tumbling than a routine with so-so choreography and... well, most of her tumbling isn't that great either.

[RagingBearVideos]

Aggghhh! She's soo talented, I just wish she had some decent music and choreography! She could be amazing! Oh well, she's just a junior, so maybe it'll improve as she gets older.

[RhythmicGymnast909]

She can't be 13!! she's just too amazing!!

[pinkxo44]

hhahah wats with the noise after she does the 2.5 twist???? at 1:10 lol

[heyyyitshurls]

haha its like uhhh..weird lol

[tallrob11]

@pinkxo44 that was so funny thank you!!!! omg... tears in my eyes...

[volleyballfan21]

Omg that is hilarious! That was realllllly funny! How did you notice that lol

[boarder729]

she reminds me of carly patterson, but a little depressing that shes younger than me and like 20x better :/

[wowohwow77]

@boarder729 haha, but she's like 1,000,000x better than me! :)

[jumpinggymnast5]

i swear, every year the US just gets more and more talented gymnasts!

[kittycatsrule86]

she has clean tumbling

[RagingBearVideos]

She's wonderful! I know her music and choreography are terrible, but that's true of most juniors. I mean, at least she smiles and actually performs it. Obviously, she can also handle the nerves. And even though she has tons of power, she's got flexibility!

[shawnjackson97]

great but shawn and nastia are way much better than her!!!

[comanecisalto1]

@shawnjackson97 not anymore. nastia can make a comeback because she continued competing after the olympics but shawn decided to go all hollywood. theres no WAY she can keep up with today's gymnasts. she can go back to her tanning booth.

[MisanthropistPro]

I agree with you, in a way. Shawn did decide to go all Hollywood. But I do think that if Shawn really wanted to make a comeback, she could do so, and quite well.

[shegirl13]

She is only 13????Shes amazing!!!!!!!!!

[zhongru]

can't wait to see her at world 2011

[humphrey861]

ahhhhhhhh! Her music is terrible but she's soooooooo amazing!

[trinitydancer0614]

London 2012 Jordan Wieber Ivana Hong Becca Bross

wouldnt it be amazing

[JohnYiMusic]

and Bridget Sloan!!!

[mattiehenFTW]

DOUBLE PIKE. STUCK. Awesome.

[soccerjewls12]

ha i go to school with Jordyn, she's so amazing!

[ginnydork123]

i still cant believe that she is only 13!

[guitarbabe21]

Can you guys imagine jordyn wieber, shawn johnson, nastia liukin, Chelsea Memmel, Sam Pezek, and bridget sloan on the team for 2012? They would be such a powerhouse team. But it doesn't look like shawn will be competing in 2012she has missed so much training and the olympics is something you have train constantly for if you want to do well.

[kiolkool]

your missing IVANA HONG:) who is improving so much. shes gonna be awesome

[NastiaCarlyFan]

since when was nastia a power house!

[RaRaRandomShow]

i agree with benrobinson77, the routine needs better choreography and music!

[mydogwearsacape]

her tumbling (i.e. twisting form, power, and stuck passes) make me want to faint in a good way. her music and choreo make me want to faint in a bad way.

[ch0c0nic0le]

She great, but I hope she can change her music and dancing . That will much better !

[rebecca4717]

I agree! great gymnast, but needs to change that dance and music (awful)

[sus611611]

why she didn't compited at visa championships? is she injured?

[dancelife450]

yes

[RaRaRandomShow]

this routine was amazing! she is very solid! i love doing full ins! they are sooooo much fun!

[apluskel]

I hate it when horrible floor music ruins an excellent gymnast's performance

[benrobinson77]

agreed, the routine needs better music and choreography

[hollyRGfan]

Is this a Geza Pozsar choreography special? =/ If not, whoever did put this together has to be a Poszar fan. Or something.

[idefyustars]

@apluskel I think it might even be a nice tune, but NOT for gymnastics.

[iwinyoulose101]

@apluskel

the second i heard it, the first phrase that came into my head was "a hideously snazzy abomination that reminds me off the theme song to Taxi"

[LMA629]

@apluskel eh ive heard worse. her music isnt actually that bad

[LaVoix555]

@apluskel that music really was HORRIBLE!

[mpca66]

Her dancing was really cute, but I wish that triple turns (or did she do 4?) weren't a requirement (at 1.26). It's really hard to turn like a comtemporary dancer on a carpeted floor.

I think those turns always look sloppy.

Nice routine though .. such a good tumbler!

[youcleverguy]

but i think it's nothing to do with the floor. chinese gymnasts cheng fei and yang yilin do good spins on any floor. i think it's the sense of balance and speed that matter.

[cheer4me18]

shes very good and solid! i really dont know much about her but so far i think i really like her :)

[kittycatsrule86]

She has such a clean routine

I mean look at the full and her back handsprings I looooove her backhandsprings so clean I LOVE it

[DisneyxGirlxSM]

this is amazing in HD lolz. go jordyn~
