[tabbytea9]

august rush song! :D

[SuperSoup99]

No one beats Shawn Johnson!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[happyey]

I just watched Dancing With the Stars!

[desglacons]

This is the kind of tumbling I want to see in an Oly Champ. Doesn't matter if it is Cheng from China, Johnson/Weiber from US or anyone from Romania. I want to see out of this world tumbling.

[gymnastagirl141009]

Which way does Shawn twist backwrds? I'm having trouble with my twisting. I twist left and was just wondering If she does too.

[CopGymnast861]

@gymnastagirl141009 she twists right. i twist left too!! :D

[chinghxd]

i swear there were some shifty judging going on at beijing 2008....

[lisapizza16]

@chinghxd I totally agree...

[10nim]

quando eu vi a prova da Shawn eu fiquei deslumbraddo jurava que ela ia ser a campeã ai veio a sandra e desmoronou meu sonho de ver a shawn no lugar mais auto do podio

[bluehaze1029]

She has great landings, but am I the only one who thinks that she needs to express herself more..........

[Missnewyork28]

Nothing can compare Anna's switch ring on beam.

[djcolette1027]

im so proud of her skill and work ethnic.. she has come so far and i cant wait for the next olympics....thumbs up if u agree!!!! :)

[cairsahr64]

A great routine. It really is hard to compare these great gymnasts, is it ?

[Yuri92001]

She won before she stepped onto the mat! And I don't mean that as a compliment.

[bbtalk27]

she should've used this leo for the AA

[pinkgymnast2000]

[Natalie9911]

I love her leotards

[beingcool4dummies]

i have a boner

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

it bothers me that this did not get gold.

[MegaLovergirl95]

@gymnasticsloverxoxo it bothers me too. i want to punch the judges in the face. i was so pissed..

[mjdub05]

it bothers me that someone thinks this deserves gold. Did you see that girl from Romania? Wow! Grace, power, and perfection! This deserved either silver or bronze. Can't decide between this routine and Nastias, but I was happy with the placement. =)

[gymLYYFE]

@mjdub05 one thing that didnt bug me about this olympics was the floor final placment. Im sorr but even shawns team mates have said that sandras routine was absolutly amazing and it was. it deserved gold.

[mjdub05]

@gymlyyfe- But I AM agreeing with the gold going to Izbasa.

I'm simply stating that I'm unsure if this routine (SJs) was silver medal worthy. Nastia's rocked just as much as this one. But I'm generally happy with the placement.

[Gr33nkiwi]

@mjdub05 What the fuck, are you serious? Nastia's floor is horrendous to watch. She shows no emotion, her form is disaterous, and it's one of the most boring routines of the Olympic games.

If everyone hit that night Nastia wouldn't have stood a chance of getting in the medals. Actually, Shawn is lucky to even get silver, seeing as if Cheng Fei hit Shawn would have only gotten bronze.

[mjdub05]

@Gr33nkiwi - Whatever. Nastia rocks. =)

[Gr33nkiwi]

@mjdub05 Doesn't mean she's good.

[mjdub05]

@Gr33nkiwi - Nastia is more than "good." She has five Olympic medals. I'm not claiming that she's perfect, but she's a freaking gymnastics ninja. lol

[Gr33nkiwi]

@mjdub05 No, she's definetly just 'good' (in comparison to elite gymnasts)

The 2004-2008 cycle was VERY weak. There were very few all around competitors. The amount of medals you have doesn't make you good/bad

Nastia is boring, messy, and never shows personality. And, her winning the Olympics was not a very good thing for the sport at all.

[mjdub05]

@Gr33nkiwi - Naaah. Nast rocks. =)

[Gr33nkiwi]

@mjdub05 That's an opinion, but the fact that she crosses her legs during her twists, she cowboys her double fronts, she bends her legs on the bottom of her bar swing, she has form breaks in almost every kip are facts...

[mjdub05]

@Gr33nkiwi - Ok. I have some facts for you. Perfect ring leaps that take your breathe away and perfect handstands. Not to mention very high start values with the exception of vault. No one ever said she was perfect...just really, really good. =)

p.s. Nast rocks. =)

[Gr33nkiwi]

@mjdub05 No, Nastia's ring leap is good, but Pavs is MUCH better. Yang Yilin has better handstands. Also, getting up to Handstand Nastia always separates her knees which is a deduction.

High start values mean nothing. Actually, usually having higher start values means you're messier and your routines are very boring. Look, same with Nastia's!

Anna Pavlova sacrificed SV for artistry and she is MUCH better than Nastytard can every dream of being at ARTISTIC gymnastics.

[mjdub05]

@Gr33nkiwi - You're an absolute idiot for even implying that it is physically possible to have a "MUCH better" ring leap than Nastia. Have you seen it on beam?! Seriously! Wow. Pavlova is great too, but wow. You're blind.

I'm going to laugh a little for the rest of the day because of your response.

Don't expect me to respond again. I'm so over this thread. =)

p.s. And Nast STILL rocks.

[Gr33nkiwi]

@mjdub05 Nastia's execution of the ring leap is good, but her landing of it is usually jerky, in comparison to Pavs who flows down, Nastia's 'drops' down. There have been quite a few gymnasts with better ringleaps than Nastia over the last decade.

[NurdyRhythm]

@mjdub05 Really, there's no need to call names, even if you disagree. Seriously, we're all gymn. fans here, and we all know how great these girls are just for making it to the olympics. Us fans are rare compared to other sports, so let's discuss it sport w/o being so snotty. After all it's just a sport, and this is just the internet. I usually don't comment on most YT vids b/c it's stupid arguing with mean people you don't know, but I was hoping those under the gymn. vids could be more mature.

[MaebySurelyBarely]

@mjdub05 Eh, Nastia's switch ring on beam is nowhere near Pavlova's. I mean, it's great, but she shows nothing close to the head release or back arch of Anna's leap. That's not being an idiot, it's just observing the leap. If you can find me one switch ring by Nastia even close to what Pavlova did in Beijing EFs, I'll change my mind, but I haven't seen one yet.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@mjdub05 You obviously haven't seen Pavs's switch ring leap on beam. Anna gets her front leg higher, has better back arch, and head release. You need to get a reality check and see Nastia's again. She puts no effort into it.

[NurdyRhythm]

@Gr33nkiwi "Nastytard"? Really? Grow up. There is no need to be so offensive over a sport. Even if Pav is technically a better gymnast than Nastia, "better than she could even dream of" is just a stupid exaggeration. If she falls short, it's barely so. Nastia's a beautiful gymnast either way. Even if someone's conclusions are misguided, you can be nice and disagree. These girls work too long and too hard to deserve bitchiness like this from fans, even if you think them overrated or overscored.

[Gr33nkiwi]

@NurdyRhythm No,

[TwisterFlipp95]

@gymnasticsloverxoxo

1. its unusual that the gymnast 1st up gets the gold. the only 2 times i've seen it was this meets bar final [questionable due to the tiebreaker] and the 2009 world floor final

2. I'm sorry but Sandra NAILED her routine. She deserved it.

[Sabrina7722772]

this was crazy insanely good.

[SwissMan73]

Izbasa was simply unbeatable that night

[Anaiiswl]

@SwissMan73 yeah she was great but in the gala or other event sandra is really good as shawn

[lisapizza16]

ok i want to know why the poster is laughing at the beginning. does the poster not like shawn? and Shawn did amazing. Her floor on the AA was soooo amazing and she should have gotten a better score then.

[artyowen92]

i think its coz theyve put a black spot over the NBC sign lol

[laltretre]

shwan is the best one she shoul have won like year ago

[haileybaybay13]

Shes my friends cousin :P

[joaopauloloures]

REALYY OO !! ;D

[djcolette1027]

@haileybaybay13 and?

[rosalie278]

@haileybaybay13 thats awesome

[xxluvjustinbieberxx]

@haileybaybay13 soooo she really is yr cuz swweeet newssss

[intergalacticmutiny]

LOL I can't stop laughing

[soccerbabex141]

she should have won the gold

[Adutwilite]

no way. sandra had the best fx + her routine was more difficult than shawn's. and her fx music was...awesome...

[joaopauloloures]

I agree Sandra have a perfect tumbling passes !

[moopoo66]

@joaopauloloures so did shawn except one and she had more difficult passes but sandra deserved to win, if shawn would of stuck her tripple twist she would of beat sandra

[481095ymg2]

@Adutwilite her routine was, however, not more difficult.

[coldtiger31]

I think she should have taken gold instead

of silver

[Gr33nkiwi]

No chance. Izbasa had the highest SV and the same, if not better execution than Shawn.

[comanecisalto1]

No, Sandra's routine had higher difficulty was better execution. She stole the show and defintely earned the gold

[legallyblonde514]

wats the floor music called??

[jorge5612]

August's Rhapsody

[ahincks8]

its from august rush

[12bmills]

It's so cool how she led that entire FX Final until Sandra Izbasa. Incredible.
