Komova's & Wieber 's reaction after the AA final

[alacranmontoya]

It's fun to see these reactions and see the MAG final... Boy was like wow that dude uchimura is a beast, they don't cry they seem to enjoy it much more than the ladies

[1974luciole]

wieber looks like a man... is he bieber sister?

[gymnastfreak921]

don't insult her for crying guys. A LOT of people are like tht. some people hate second place, even me.

[143SilverWings]

Komova should be proud she even got a medal! Other gymnasts who didn't get a medal weren't crying at the end!x

[Planetimage2]

I'm quite sure Komova's easier and less well executed routines should have won!!!

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@Planetimage2 Komova executed her routines much better than Wieber. Even the untrained eye and the judges agree. Please do not use the word "retarded" anymore as it is offensive and cruel to those who have mental disabilities. Please keep YouTube clean.

[Planetimage2]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 If Komova's better, then why did she lose to Wieber? I remember you, you are that outspoken bitch that comment on every gymnastic video, right? Get a fucking life and a fucking functional brain to control your retardation. I would've snapped your face if I see you, bitch!!.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@Planetimage2 Excuse me, did you even read my comment? "Komova EXECUTED her routines much better than Wieber". I didn't say she's better, even though she is. She's much better now. She has a 6.5 on beam actually. And I'm guessing by now she has the Amanar. And honestly, no one is going to like you if you speak like that. It looks foolish. Really foolish...

[BoraBoraGirl2001]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 I've watched recent video footage of Komova at the 2012 Moscow Championships. She was a shaky, wobbly, inconsistent mess. Unless she can get her nerves under control and avoid the tendency to "give up" when she make a minor mistake, she is as good as dead in London. And that's a fact. If you don't have confidence, fight and passion, then you have nothing.

[gravyboatK]

@Planetimage2 Get yourself under control and learn to speak English in a proper manner. You sound poor and African American right now.

[Whitelazyfox]

@Planetimage2

Judges is not superior U know

They can cheats too

There will never be objective judgment couse of politics

So i am not angry

Every country included in sport-politics games !

So lern in school better kid

(I don't mean this example both girls try to win!)

[SomeoneElse39]

Komova competed watered-down routines due to her injury, and she wasn't in the strongest form here (fall out of turn on floor, chest low on landing, etc). Jordyn had a mistake here or there, but since her routines were more difficult, she came out the winner. That's how it works in gymnastics: If you play it safe - whatever the reason - you'll probably lose even if your routines are cleaner.

[cheliquediaz]

las gimnastas de estados unidos no tienen gracia se ven como unos hombres , los jueces están vendidos . aunque los estados unidos se a robado a los mejores entrenadores . todavía no le llegan al nivel de los rusos

[manuella3750]

komova com certeza era pra ter ganho...ela eh a melhor!

[GymJennyPanda]

Jordyn deserved her score. Everyone keeps on forgetting that Jordyn has a higher difficulty then Komova.

[Swankdor]

when USA lost the gold to china in the 2008 olympic games, they made a big commotion about the age issue of the chinese gymnasts.. this time they won, and even though komova in my opinion looks way younger than 16, they didnt say anything.. irony much..

just a bunch of sore loser..

[alanabanana97]

@dpoke23

yes i do understand i just don't like it when everyone says weiber did't deserve it.

i am a big beleiver in everything happens for a reason so maybe komova will come back stronger coz she was injured at the worlds

[anamria2012]

ihre reaktion ist total unverständlich!

[emilyosmentTSxx]

she so deserved to win @radicaldaniel she was so not overscored komava was prob underscored but overall jordyn was the strongest of the 2

[alanabanana97]

i think weiber deserved this komova also has her mistakes the judges were right and why is she crying over silver gosh how ungreatful let me have it then

[dpoke23]

@alanabanana97 Shes unhappy with how she performed!!! Ya sure u would want her medal and u think shes ungrateful, but compare it to ur life....for example lets say u r used to being the best in ur club for tennis, and u have high expectations and goals, but then when u go to a tournament, u lose. Im guessing ur gonna be disappointed in urself and realize ur not the best. This is the same situation just amplified a lot. She has a right to cry, its not healthy to bottle up ur feelings

[radicaldaniel]

Wiebber was way overscored on FX

[Ricoblack2012]

@radicaldaniel I disagree

[skittleluva12344]

@radicaldaniel **wieber

[kbrawn92]

This is a fight lambs. Neither compares to fight lions between Shawn and Nastia.

[orlyswa76]

I think Komova shouldve won gold in these championships! Gold for most inconsistent that is!

[jerseyguy41ife]

@orlyswa76 hahahahahah!

[lilyia1]

I never get tired of seeing this scene. I cried with joy for a couple of minutes,for me nothing better than watching a Russian cry, and believe me, i am not American. And YES, likes or not, JORDYN WON. SHE was the BETTER!!!

[Whitelazyfox]

@lilyia1

Litlle sadist

That will happens someday than someone will watch while u cry

Everithing is comeback to peoplle

[alllitangio]

13.600 seriously???

[surfiechicnic]

There both amazing. It would have been so emotional considering how much pressure is on both these girls at such a young age. Congrats to Weiber and Komova, Both their countries and fans where relying on them & they both delivered

[aNoifmYg391]

Well, I'm a gymnast and if were Komova, I think I still would have at least shaken Jordyn's hand or something.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@aNoifmYg391 I guess since she was so devastated and upset with herself she couldn't bring herself to do it. And she did shake her hand immediately after her floor routine.

[aNoifmYg391]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 Yes they did shake hands right after Vika's floor but that was on Jordyn's initiative when she thought Komova had won... And honestly it was a hell of a handshake by Vika but maybe she just wasn't expecting it and didn't get her hand in the right position in time haha! And well I'm 13 and I still manage to go and shake my rival's hand after a lost competition (yeah alright... no need to tell me that my competition wasn't quuuuite as important lol!).

[KalinkaRG]

@aNoifmYg391 Well, losing a regional championship is maybe less annoying than losing a world championship, as you wrote before.;) And I don't think Komova should have gone to shake hands with Wieber, it would have been quite hypocrite, because it's pretty obvious Vika wasn't happy about losing the gold medal. And probably another thing that annoyed Vika was that she thought Wieber was overscored. So I don't understand why so many people would have liked to see Vika hugging and kissing Weiber. :|

[aNoifmYg391]

@KalinkaRG Well, I suppose it's because I'm so used to seeing gymnasts hugging each other... On the other hand, it's nice to see someone being true to their emotions and letting the tears flow. It shows you how badly she wanted it. But she must have wanted it really really badly because she kinda looked like she wanted to kill Jordyn during the medal ceremony lol! I know she's ok now though: look at my channel background pic ;)

[triplefull368]

@aNoifmYg391 Because I'm sure you saw every second of what went on between this moment and the medal ceremony. How do you know she didn't shake Wieber's hand while they were waiting to march in for the medal ceremony? Remember, just because she didn't do it on camera does not mean she didn't do it at all.

[aNoifmYg391]

@triplefull368 Wich one of my comments are you referring to here? And yes you're right, I didn't see what went on between this moment and the medal ceremony. I was just talking about what went on here...

[triplefull368]

@aNoifmYg391 I just mean you can't really criticize her for not shaking Wieber's hand if you can't even be sure whether or not she shook Wieber's hand.

[aNoifmYg391]

@triplefull368 Well I wasn't really criticizing her... But she did walk right past Wieber without even looking at her. lol it was kinda funny though because Jordyn looked confused and like she didn't know what to do haha! Anyway, I was just pointing that out, I know it's not a big deal really.

[triplefull368]

@aNoifmYg391 To be honest, I think Komova was kind of having a little bit of an emotional breakdown right at that moment. It's unfortunate for her that it happened on camera, but, well...happens to everyone at some point.

[aNoifmYg391]

@triplefull368 True ;)

[kakarot138]

Wieber = 59.382 komova = 59.349 wow

[Elle23345]

Wow. Yes it would be extremely frustrating to lose by that much but that was ridiculous. She showed absolutely no sportsmanship. She could have at least said congratulations to Jordyn. But no she just cried and ignored everyone. Disgraceful.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@Elle23345 Considering they speak different languages, I'm not sure saying "congratulations" would be the best thing for Komova to do...

[anniecy]

@Elle23345 She probably wasn't thinking about her competitor because she was so upset. I'm sure she congratulated Wieber later on. I would hardly call her behaviour disgraceful.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@MrAerial12345 Show me one article where the Russians and the media are trying to hype her up as the new Khorkina.

[free2write26]

Wieber didn't do anything wrong but compete. At the end of the day they're sixteen year old girls. The results are what the results are. If Vika's better, she'll prove it at 2012 worlds and the Olympics. I love both gymnasts, and think this is shockingly similar to Nastia/Shawn.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@free2write26 There is no Worlds in 2012. And no one is blaming Wieber for winning. We are all blaming the judges.

[free2write26]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 Actually, there was a lot of blaming Wieber. I quote: "I hate u Wieber!"

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@free2write26 Hmm, didn't read that one. That's a bit intense but it is for both sides. Everyone knew coming into this (not specifically Worlds, no one knew Komova was ready) that there would eventually be a huge showdown between the two and of course there would be many pointless hate-filled comments.

[SidLovesGymnastics]

haha 1:24 all the cammeras snapping

[sexyhoneybear]

this AA competition sucked. last year's was so much better. this year, about every gymnast either fell or made a big mistake. wieber had a missed handstand and a form break on bars. komova had a very wobbly beam and her floor had a lot of mistakes. jinnan fell from the beam and so did afanasyeva. the only gymnast that did a clean solid job was Ana Porgras but the code right now focuses more on difficulty than artistry. what a shame

[abrahamnextel]

The only positive side of all this experience... is that this is definitely going to gave her a lot of courage and strenght to go for the gold in London...

Im going to be there only to cheer for her... so yes, shes gonna rock it in the Olympics.

[aNoifmYg391]

What disappoints me isn't Komova's attitude, but the russian coaches attitude (not in the video). They are putting all the wrong things into the poor girls head. For example, in an interview of Komova and her coach, here's what the coach said: "It's too bad that the gold she deserved went to Jordyn Wieber for reasons beyond our control" and when he was asked if he felt the judges were biased or not competent, he said "I think a bit of both; why would they trust judges from Zanibar?"

Seriously...

[ellie820796]

It's wierd but I almost love the reactions of the Russian's when things don't go their way. I didn't like seeing Komova upset or anything but their "diva" attitudes when don't get what thet want give them a character and a bit of an attitude! Makes it so much more exiting!

[lilidafication]

@ellie820796 Oh, Russians are very dramatic)! That's part of national character, this mentality, go for all or nothing!

[jerseyguy41ife]

@lilidafication agreeed!

[dahighbar]

Unfortuately gymnast are books that are judged by the cover first, Perhaps next time Komova will bring a lil make up and a hair brush to an important meet im just saying

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@dahighbar What on earth is that supposed to mean?

[dahighbar]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 lol I meant Komova looked a mess..her hair looked dirty and in desperate need of a wash and a brush and her face looked so dry and pale

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@dahighbar I understood that but I think it's incredibly rude to begin raging on something she can't change...

[gr8testjojofan]

@dahighbar and it is exactly because of people like you that girls have eating disorders and pile on make-up when they don't need to. In my opinion her hair and face looked fine but even if she did look pale and her face was dry, does it matter?? That does not in any way affect her gymnastics at all!!

[lilidafication]

@dahighbar I misspelt the word 'forehead' , sorry.

[lilidafication]

@dahighbar This is the most unprofessional comment ever on this video)) You're being too preoccupied with this stuff while watching sport! Obviously you're not a gymnast! Your looks are important in gymnastics , and esthetics in generall, that's true, and with Victoria looks there was nothing wrong! On the opposite, Victoria has outstanding natural grace, she's even built as a ballerina,not a gymnast, hair... Well, try to do all 4 apparatuses and FX at the end !

[lilidafication]

@dahighbar I want to see your absoulutely matte and made up forid etc.. She didn't put all her hair up and glazed it like Nastia or Jordan, ( that is, by the way ,not the most complementing hair style for them as well, as far as they have a very prominent forids and their heads are big comparatively to their bodies.)and left her fringe down, not the most terrible of all mistakes..it's not a style mistake at all. And why even mention it!!!

[ViardotVSGrisi]

A predictable reaction from everyone, blaming Wieber and/or Komova. Please direct your ire at the judges, as both Komova and Wieber were as surprised as the rest of us at these results. They're guilty of working their entire lives to have the arbitrary decisions marr their life's work, so why point the finger at them? Komova's reactions are more than justified, and I feel bad for Wieber because her win remains a debatable one. My personal opinion: Komova was robbed.

[AlbuScorpio]

Que fofa a Yao Jinnan querendo falar com a Komova, enquanto ela chorava ...

[jappidiramamurthy]

jordyn, plz lay of all these naysayers aside by winning gold at the olympics

[eugvh18]

Komovi不喜歡給任何人走向祝賀，她這樣的天后，她在戲最好­的，她神話般

[ramram70]

Dos reacciones differentes, la del triunfo inesperado, y el de la derrota no programada,.., me encanto la sencilles de Wieber al ganar este titulo, muestra que es una persona sencilla (buenos sentimientos),.., en cuanto a lo deportivo, me quedo con lo artistico de Komova, un premio para su coreografo!!!!!..., Las Rutinas de piso no son solo la parte acrobatica,que las Americanas tienen bien domina, pero les falta trabajar la parte artistica

[volleyballgurly15]

Sorest loser ever. It's discusting.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@volleyballgurly15 Not at all... Did you even try to find out why she was crying...?

[volleyballgurly15]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 I can't find my comment anymore to see what you are saying to me.. but yeah I know why Komova is crying. Because she lost by such a little margin and was in shock. I get that. She really thought she was going to win. But she acting very...childish in this situation. At least in my oppion (& in many others!) The Russians don't know how to handle themselves when things don't go there way. They act rude, childish, and just plain out pathetic. If Jordyn lost, she wouldn't have..

[volleyballgurly15]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 ..reacted in this way. Jordyn and most of the American's know how to keep there composer and act like good sports (2008 Olympics for example) Crying is fine. Totally. But taking off your medal, saying rude things about the other gymnasts in interviews, and refusing to congradulate/ shake hands with the winner is proof they you have terrible sportsmanship. I've lost all respect for the Russians. But that's fine if you don't agree.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@volleyballgurly15 CONTINUE. Komova took off her medal after the podium ceremony. Is she required to wear it while she sleeps at night? Or during training? What rude thing did Komova say about anyone in an interview? And she didn't refuse to shake hands with Wieber. She had already shook hands after her FX routine. That's not proof. She trained her ENTIRE LIFE for this one moment. How would this be considered "terrible" sportsmanship. Don't lose respect for all the people in 1 country over this.

[brdbarreira]

I'm not a Wieber hater, but for me, a champion who scored 13 on something isn't a champion...

[nellyscherzinger]

@brdbarreira Aliya Mustafina: 15.666, 15.300, 15.033, 15.033 = 61.032

a True Champion! Can wait to see Aliya winning AA GOLD in London :)

[brdbarreira]

@nellyscherzinger Yes, that is a champion, scored 15 on everything. Now, 13 every gymnast can score :)

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@nellyscherzinger Yes, Mustafina's AA performance last year at Worlds and Komova's AA performance at the YOG will be unmatchable for years to come. I hope they dominate in London.

[BoraBoraGirl2001]

@brdbarreira Take it up with the judges. Komova watered down her routines and had errors on floor. At the end it was very close, but Jordyn IS the winner and the true champion.

[ViardotVSGrisi]

@BoraBoraGirl2001 I just noticed that you are all over youtube defending your girl. Passion is a good thing in this world. I hope Wieber gets HER DUE in London...

[Aceuniverse]

@brdbarreira you forgot to mention that Wieber got two scores in the 15's unlike Komova who had only one

[GymnasticsFan1144]

@brdbarreira I have to agree, compared to Musty's 15 plus on everything on 2010 :)

[liljayyo1]

People need to stop hating on Wieber she did nothing but Compete!! Congratz to both Wieber and Komova

[sigaljarby]

unsportsmanship ..... such a stupid concept when it comes to competitive sport when u put your whole life into it.

[youretoocute1]

KOMOVA ALL THE WAY! BEST gymnast out there! Cant wait to see her in the 2012 olympics! She has a huge chance of taking gold! and im excited! GO RUSSIA! <3 <3 <3

[concreto20]

komova the return scholl soviet

[life56783]

Komova was robbed...

[TayTayandZoee]

Omg, when I saw Jordyn crying I started crying, I was so happy for her!

and then I so Komova and I felt so bad.

Ugh, bittersweet...

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@CopGymnast861 Does soberanis100 need to repeat his comment? Or are you just too thick to comprehend it?

[soberanis100]

Define unsportsmanship for me. Being shocked & showing it certainly isn't it, being upset by the realization that the only thing standing in your way to a gold medal was a .033 difference isn't it, shedding tears of disappointment isn't it. Why on earth would she try to fake a happy, comformistic smile when what she came to get was gold? My guess is that Wieber fans were expecting Komova to kiss Jordyn's ass just to make them happy... Wieber has their fans for that, doesn't she?

[JohnPhilipSousa519]

@soberanis100 Well no one is saying that she should be happy, but it seems like she should have kept her emotions in check. She looked downright sulky on the podium, and taking off the medal was not cute. That was plain rude. And she could have showed a little more class, like acknowledging Jordyn's gesture of sportsmanship after her floor. Wieber wasn't upset at all about the prospect of getting silver, so why should Komova be? Like always, the Russians had to bring the drama.

[soberanis100]

@JohnPhilipSousa519 Emotions in check?!?! She's a teenager for Peter's sake!!!! She had the right to be sulky on podium, she was not crying anymore, she composed herself and went there with her head up high. I'm happy she didn't fake a smile... a la Johnson, believe, this kid didn't work for over 10 years of her life to get silver!!! Being true to your emotions without being disrespectful to the athlete who won gold is not an act of unsportmanship.

[soberanis100]

@JohnPhilipSousa519 As for Wieber, we will never know if her teary face was because she thought she had lost the gold after waiting for Komova's score or the fact that after said score was brought up on the screen she realized she had actually won cuz the camera wasn't focused on her until then.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@soberanis100 That is such a good point. I didn't even think about that...

[soberanis100]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 uhhhm.. hehehe, what point??? I've written a lot of comments on this video and YouTube new layout doesn't help a lot with the situation, so... could you tell me what point are you talking about?

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@soberanis100 Ah, yes, I hate it too. My mistake. You can find which comment people reply to by clicking on all comments and doing control + F and searching the entire reply to your comment. And you've made some really great points below, haha. The point I was referring was how Wieber may have been crying at first because she thought Komova won since we don't get to see when she started crying.

[soberanis100]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 Thank you so much for that piece of information! Oh, and about that, well...yeah, we will never know the reason of those tears on Wieber's face. We can only especulate on it. But that's not really realiable now, isn't? :P

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@soberanis100 You're welcome. Not so much of a reliable source afterall. But she got that many tears pretty quickly if they started because she realized they won...

[soberanis100]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 Hehehehe, I know... right? ;)

[soberanis100]

@JohnPhilipSousa519 Lastly, as for Komova taking off her medal after the podium ceremony & pictures were taken, she can do whatever she wants with it, it's her medal after all! She can hang it alongside the rest of the medals she's won or hide it inside a sock for all I care... I don't see the difference, she wasn't neither disrespectful to Wieber nor FAKE, something that I really appreciate. SOOO, again, Wieber has YOU to kiss her ass...but don't expect Komova to do the same. :o) Cheers!

[JohnPhilipSousa519]

@soberanis100 Bah! Your excuses for Vika are laughable. I've noticed this about a lot of Komova fans...you are quite rude, especially to those who have opinions that differ from your own.

[soberanis100]

@JohnPhilipSousa519 HAHAHAHA! Cry me a river, mate!!!! At least there's somethig we both agree on cuz your excuses on Vika are just a ridiculous. You definetely don't understand how an athetle would feel after such a disappointment AND if you can't distinguish between acting disappointed with your score and acting in an unspormanship manner, then you're a lost case & I feel bad dor you!! And fyi, I'm not a Vika fan, obviously I'm not a Wieber fan either, I usually never have favorites.

[JohnPhilipSousa519]

There's clearly a difference between unsportsmanLIKE conduct and disappointment. And let me tell you, you need to chill out! There's no need to take advantage of the fact that YouTube is anonymous and start posting nasty comments to whoever will bother reading them.

[soberanis100]

@JohnPhilipSousa519 I'v seen guys taking off their medals 2 seconds after they received them & walk away from the podium leaving their medals on the floor, I'v seen guys who won't even shake the hand of the person who won gold as he's extending his hand in a kind manner while the other is looking straight ahead & not even aknkowledging him, I've seen guys who look away while the gold medalist's anthem is being played & their flag is being raised, etc, etc,etc. I could give u more examples Part 1

[soberanis100]

@JohnPhilipSousa519 But my point is,Komova never crossed that line between acting in unsportmanshipLIKE manner and acting in a disappointed manner. IMO. But apparently in yours, crying & having a sullen face are considered unsportmanship conduct! I say it's BS. And honestly, I haven't taken advange of YT's anonymity anymore than u have. I just presented my opinions in MY way & u did it with yours. If u can't help but feel offended by that, well that's your problem... & it's too bad. PART 2

[soberanis100]

@JohnPhilipSousa519 Lastly,I never tried to offend u in any way, really.U write like a die-hard Vika hater, & you're in all your right 2 be.Honestly, I couldn't care any less.Go on & move on with your life & please,stop taking it personally when others express their opinions freely.It's quite childish.Have you heard the saying,"Nobody can really hurt u unless you allow them 2 do it", put it in practice, kid. I'll be the adult this time & end this. Cheers#2! <-- Hope u take the hint this time!

[proudpotterfan]

@soberanis100 but i think it was obvious that she thought she showed superior gymnastics that day (and in her subsequent interviews she said Jordyn was overscored for 0.7 marks) when her mistakes were QUITE apparent.

personally, I prefer russian gymnasts (aka more elegant types) over american gymnasts, but just saying. Poor sportsmanship is not acceptable from any country.

[soberanis100]

@proudpotterfan It was obvious she wasn't exactly happy with her scores. & in ALL the interviews that I'v found of her she never showed any kind of unsportmaship. On IG Magazine she said the judginf was fair, that she deserved those scores & that her performances to her were close to mediocre(Yeah. I know, real unsportmanship) I can give u the link for it if you want. In another interview given to a Russian magazine I suppose, she even admitted to having touched the high bar un her UB routine.

[soberanis100]

@proudpotterfan Tell in what sports magazine she said such a thing or give me the link for it. Cuz, honestly, as of right now, I don't believe you. The only Russian who had the nerve to talk about 'unfair judging' was Rodionenko and he never said he was speaking on behalf of Komova or anyone else, he said that was just his personal opinion.

[proudpotterfan]

@soberanis100 from a blog following maroney. its an interview conducted by i think some prominent blog - actually i just read it yesterday so I'm trying to find it out again because obviously I cant' remember all my links haha.

and I repeat, I have nothing against Komova - I would rather see her win than Jordyn, but I was just commenting on an attitude here.

[soberanis100]

@proudpotterfan A blog?!?!?! live Tublr, Wordpress, Blogspot... that kind of blog?!?!! I know of those blogglers, who rather than give you info on gymnastics go on in a personal rant of themselves as to  why THEY think their opinions are correct. But, hey, to each his own. Could you at least give me the name of the reporter who conducted the interview?? Well, I hope you soon find the link and have the amability to provide it.

[xXthinkxthinXx]

@soberanis100 however, walking off and ripping the silver medal off her neck is not sportsmanship. its one thing to be unhappy, and another to be ungrateful. No one is saying that she should kiss Jordyn Wiebers ass, she could've shown that she was at least grateful for winning something.

[soberanis100]

@xXthinkxthinXx As I said before, I honestly don't think she was acting in an ungrateful manner, 'Khorkina' style with her silver medal, she was just EXTREMELY DISSAPOINTED in herself. And... it shows... She did everything in her power and according to her current circumstances to claim that gold medal... but in the end it wasn't enough. So, that's that.

[xXthinkxthinXx]

@soberanis100 I think she did a great job, but before she hit her last floor routine, she was done. it seem as though she didn't even try hard.Her routine was lazy at best, she made careless mistakes and didn't even complete a floor pass, nor her turns.Wieber fought through the whole competition. Its fine to be disappointed in yourself, but show some class. Russians were acting as if was entitled to win even before the competition. She didn't even want to hold the silver medal for the picture.

[soberanis100]

@xXthinkxthinXx Yeah, that's what I meant when I said 'according to her circumstances', she was not 100% yet in terms of making the required reps in practice. Yet, they still sent her to Tokyo, with both ankles taped!!!! She looked tired & overall unprepared during the entire championships IMO. At first I thought it was a bad move for the Russiand to do. But hey, they got two gold medals out of it. So what do I know, right? PART 1

@xXthinkxthinXx Wieber on the other hand was uhmm how did Geddert say it?... Oh yeah, "like chiseled steel!" Yet she did the mistakes she did. OOB on FX. A 13 and something on UB... ouch! And I've seen her do a much better Amanar than the one she did in the AA. The only bang on routine she had was her BB one. PART TWO

@xXthinkxthinXx And the Russians weren't acting like they were intitled to win even before they competed, they were actually quite relieved/surprised with the results they got since their rock (Mustafina) was absent. Rodionenko said it in an interview. They could've done a lot more mistakes since the team was composed of first-time Seniors & inexperienced gymnasts, but according to what they had at the moment he was proud with what the Russian team wa able to achieve.

@soberanis100 THIS is gold-worthy for me!

Afanasyeva looks just as unhappy. They are amazing gymnasts but Russia needs to drop the unsportsmanship. It puts them in a very poor light.

Komova was better! That's a fact!!!

[GymnasticsFan1144]

I got to say, I feel a little bad for Komova she was soooooo close and she thought she did it and then to see her cry is devastating! Buy she should be happy she is beautiful to watch and she knows she wasn't at her top shape..she still has many areas to improve! And wow when I say Wieber cry I had to feel happy for her! I love it when they cry because they are soo happy! Congrays to Wieber and Komova and Jinnan! It's gonna be a showdown in London! Can't wait!

@GymnasticsFan1144 AND Aliya Mustafina, too! It's going to be one amazing All Around in London, if everyone remains healthy.

Hate you Wieber!

[tbee20101]

@TheGymnastics23 Why? Wieber didn't do anything wrong but compete.

[tracylyon73]

@TheGymnastics23 That just sounds stupid.

Komova is a beautiful gymnast. But she had watered-down sets with minor errors throughout, including with her combo on beam and her turn on floor. She herself admitted to IG that she deserved second. And unfortunately, the current code rewards DIFFICULTY, not artistry. I think the silver is a huge accomplishment considering her injury problems and the short amount of time she had to get ready for Worlds. It's a shame that she and her coach acted in such an unsportsmanlike manner.

@BoraBoraGirl2001 "Unsportsmanlike manner"? Crying is an unsportsmanlike move? Trainer hug is an unsportsmanlike move? Damn, like sportsmanlike manner is sitting with poker face when 0.033 points are stealing gold, crushing expectations and destroying absolute champion grade. Victoria didn't deserve this at all.
