2008 Beijing Olympics - Gymnastics Russia's Disappointment

[julie1995able]

I dont know if i could "like" or "dislike" because i dont like seeing them cry

[gymnasticsfan14]

Can the Romanians speak Russian or somthing? I felt like they were all talking to each other...but how?

[randomness132]

@gymnasticsfan14

I'd say they would all have at least a basic knowledge of English, so they would be able to communicate somewhat. At around 4:37, Sandra even says something that sounds a lot like "Don't cry"

[javito1229]

Me too, I feel bad for them, they are the great team, but I think, some thing is missing.

Pavlova is not crying, I supose, the experience help her

[MarchingBalletDancer]

@javito1229 Maybe because she had the same heartbreak in the AA in 2004?

[javito1229]

@MarchingBalletDancer Yeah, I agreee

[julie1995able]

i feel so bad for them. i HATE seeing little ksenia semeova cry

[whitetiger769]

china and ruusia are the best gymnastic teams

[brdbarreira]

For me, Romania is the most friendly team

[goyasunlight]

Wow! This is the raw feed from the floor cameras not the broadcast feed. How did you get it?

[417ByeByeBlackbird]

Of this squad who does everyone think has the best shot at returning going into 2012 olympics?

[Fussims]

@417ByeByeBlackbird This may be crazy, but I think Pavlova has the best chance since she's back again. However, I hope she competes in London as a specialist on Beam and Vault and helps the team to win gold.

Semyonova is out IMO, she'll never be as good as she was 2007-2008 again, Afanasyeva is gorgeous, but she's a headcase and you can't trust her, Kramarenko just disappeared. Impossible for Klyukina and Grebenkova is a mother now.

[GymnasticsFan1144]

Did Anna take off part of her leo at 1:30????

[Fussims]

@GymnasticsFan1144 Well, yes. Gymnasts tend to do that when the meet is over, besides some leos are quite uncomfortable.

[SemenovaFan88]

I love how Izabasa comforts Semenova. Its so nice that competing countries can show kindess and good sportsmanship. But Ksenia'a face was heartbreaking.

[aviomaster]

4th place That is very bad compared to the past ...

[CuPaCaKeFuL]

the4 russian team 2000 were way better

I MISS EKATERINA LOBAZNYUK :(

[wildstring211]

its not surprising ekaterina kramarenko cried over 4th place she is such a sore loser

[KVHolland3]

@wildstring211 I can't believe you just commented that...Russia has had 2 complete catastrophe's and the 1st one was her fault and she comes to this TF and does absolutley nothing wrong, as well as Semenova (who is also crying because she had been hoping for second if they worked hard, and even Kluykina (who is usually bubbly so she's just got this uneasy smile on). In Russia this was and aboslute disappointment, and Russia only ended up with 1 medal (in worlds and olympics in 2005-2008.

[KVHolland3]

@wildstring211 Kramarenko hugs and congratulates Romania just like everyone else would. In reality this situation of them in the same rotation could've turned violent under the circumstances, but the Russian's dealt with it graciously.

oh men.....this hurts a lot
