I love love love the floor routine. Beautiful interpretation and wonderful technique in dancing. I'm guessing the double pike incurred a huge deduction on the low chest though, and her tumbling isn't super difficult (Though still a competitive routine), but I just love the dance and music....
At 1:02 the woman says "One and a half from the full twist...", but how can the first tumble be a full twist when she does a round- off then the twist and when she lands she is facing forewards!!
So actually it had to be 1 1/2 to 1 1/2, but it really doesn't look like that...Can someone please help me with this?? :D
@chocolatefan1711 It's a 1 1/2 + 1 1/2. The commentator just made a mistake. And it might not look like a 1 1/2 + 1 1/2 because Yang does the second 1 1/2 tucked (she attempts laid out but bends her knees. No difficulty deduction).
What I don't like about most chinese gymnasts is that they always lose the tension when they're in the corner before a tumbling run. Thy dance so beautifully and then suddenly the just "walk" the last bit. But that's really the only thing that bothers me otherwise it's an amazing routine and Yang Yilin is one of my favourite gymnasts!! ;)
Yang's rountine is wonderful but I think she could have done better landings. I saw on one of them (maybe the fourth) she kinda hopped. I don't know. Maybe that is why Nastia won. And I think Nastia deserved it as well.
She has 11 1/2 twists in this routine. All of them are done super fast, and super clean (except the Rudi which was always a tiny bit sloppy from Yang).
Every single one of her landings for her tumbling passes was CRAPPY and there was no height on the second rotation of the double pike at all. The dancing was good I can give her that, but you can't win a gymnastics comptetition by simply dancing. And her tumbling was quite predictable.
The only landing that could be considered bad was her third pass but even then she only took like one and a half step, the others she only stepped out which is aloud(and every other gymnast @ the Olympics did that).
Tumbling isn't supposed to be unpredictable, it's supposed to be stunning. & I don't know about you, but I did gymnastics for five years & I think that even if her passes were predictable(which I don't think they were) they still fit in perfectly into the routin
Wow, that's your opinion. Predictability takes away from the stunningness of this routine. And I've done gymnastics for about six years what does that have to do with anything??? And by the way, you spelled allowed wrong...aloud is not the same thing FYI...and routine has an E in it. SMH
@musicisinmeforever i'll take your corrections into consideration, but what does SMH mean? since eng isn't my 1st lang, I don't no what all the acronyms are yet.
& I still think YY did have a stunning and unpredictable routine, maybe you think it's predictable b/c u had longer gymnastics training, but others like me appreciate her for her skill, presentation, and dynamic performance
you don't have to bash her or HER video, your entitled to free speech but don't use it to hurt others
I wasn't bashing her! I was commenting on how the routine is predictable and rather boring. SMH mean scratching my head. And I KNOW that she has skill. She wouldn't be at the Olympics if she didn't have skill. However, there are others who have more skill or skill equal to her's and many of them are getting bashed as well.
other olympians may be getting bashed as well by jerks who can't do half the moves, but you shouldn't go down to a level where you bash her(don't deny it, w/ the tone you were using on ur 1st comment, theres no way you were anywhere near praising her) no matter how bad you think her routine was
I wasn't bashing! I was COMMENTING on how this is a mediocre routine compared to many others in the '08 Olympics, including some of her own team mates. This was poor quality, especially for the Chinese.
She under-rotates, she landed with her chest to her knees on her double pike, she had a slight stumble on her 1 1/2 with a full twist...that's not really Olympic quality...
Yeah, but if she was an American gymnast, everyone would be crapping on her small mistakes and not concentrating on the good things that she did in her routine, so I'm just doing the same thing that others do to other gymnasts.
My God I still can't believe people are saying the Chinese were underage. All you have to do is look at her in 2009 to know she WASN'T underage. China was delaying her puberty, in 2009 she looks about 17 or 18 years old. So, there's your proof she wasn't underage.
She also deserved the silver, Shawn's vault should NOT have counted; she wasn't even close to making it around and there was no reason she should have been credited with the amanar.
If some of the Chinese were underage than some of the Romanians were too. I wouldn't doubt that Ksenia Semenova was underage as well. If you compared all of the gymnasts they are the same size in almost height. In the face white people looks older compared to Asians. But these gymnasts are in similar height & weight. Jealousy sucks, if they took drugs that is a different story.
She's 12 they faked her birth certificate!!!!! Would you like it if you were in the olympics and somebody that was under aged beat youand wasn't supposed to even be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Gymdawg01 Where is the proof that they faked her birth certificate? They had proved that she was 16 and no wrong doing. Only jealous people will dwell till they die. If a underage person beat me I would be embarrass and not jealous. There is a difference. I would congratulate the younger gymnasts for being more superior to me and honestly wouldn't care. Age is nothing but a number. Its not like she was under 10. She was 16 and actually deserved more than 3rd but I do not argue over this.
@Gymdawg01 Did you give birth to her? how can you be that sure she was 12 at 2008..... Some people look young doesn't mean she is young. So sad for you old looking woman.
@BFFpuppies4ever If age doesn't matter than lets just terminate all the fucking rules in the olympics! Because whats the fucking point if playing unfair is "OK" as long as they're, "Good enough to get into the olympics!"
@fishing4fishies Why are people still talking about the age? She was 16 back then which was legal, only jealous people will dwell on this. It's not a Olympic rule that you have to be 16. It's only in the sport of gymnastics that you have to be 16 to compete as a senior at senior competition and the Olympic games is consider a senior sport for gymnasts. Tom Daley who was a diver from UK was 14 at the 2008 Olympics. Yang is a amazing gymnasts as this video proves it.
either the score for this routine is too high or Anna Pavlova's routine was scored too low. I think its a great routine but. I feel that there were some issues with the scoring on the floor. Pavlova did way better and only go .05 more for floor.
That triple spin was ridiculously insane. Don't care what her age is, that was probably the best spin I've seen in the world by any gymnast. Some of her landings weren't quite as solid as Nastia's, and sometimes the flow was not as present- but oh my! There were some gorgeous moments. (Like that triple spin!)
What is the music called? It's very famous and popular I remember I did a rhythmic routine to this.Someone message me on my profile if you have the answer, thanks x
I have a feeling everyone made such a big deal about the Chinese gymnast's ages because it just goes to show that the Chinese kick some serious ass and it embarassed the older gymnasts (: I still have pride in my US gymnasts but dear god, the Chinese DESERVED gold.
its quite normal for 16 year old chinese girl to look like that. she is obviously naturally skinny and with the amount of exercise that she does, she can't really have too much meat on her. so what if she is a little flat, doesn't make her 11-12 old. so shut up people, and just enjoy her performance.
I dont think she deserved bronze, I think she deserved at least silver. She probably would have if Shawn and Nastia werent American. Also i think Ksenia Semenova should have medalled. But this floor is almost perfect, the triple turn is fantastic,.
yang yilin was one of my favorite gymnasts to watch at the olympics :D she did have quite a few wobbles on beam and on floor, though, so that's probably why she only took bronze, but she has great style and artistry
no leg separation or crossed legs, like in the other events! she deserved the gold but not nastia liukin! well... only liukin's high a score helped her...
@natalienat518 the gold? did you see her final 1.5 twist in her third tumbling pass? completely lost control. but her triple spin was absolutely beautiful :)
@cronopio131 I totally agree! I think the truth is the Chinese are soo good there's nothing to fault, so let's just accuse them of being under age. Chinese women ARE small, and so are most gymnasts. If being small is a sign of being underage, let's just say all female gymnasts, figure skaters, and other sports that require agility are underage. She's amazing, China is so good at whatever sports they pursue
I used to love Jiang Yuyuan because she did a wonderful job on floor in the team finals and apparently that routine draws big attention and applause from the crowd. But after seeing this I'm loving Yang Yilin more. She's more well rounded in skills and really elegant with that slim body figure and smile and to some degree is rather down to earth. Jiang Yuyuan loves spotlight too much. Sometimes I think she needs to work harder and keep a low profile and calm down. Yang is such a valuable athlete
Why was I marked down? It's obvious she landed in a hunch and tucked her legs and lost 0.3 or 0.5 depending whether they deduct from start value or execution and that would have given her the silver medal if she didn't.
@natalienat518 I don't see how she even got a 15.000 with a double twist pass...thats way to easy to not be under 15.000 and she didn't stick any of her landings...if they are going to award artistic value they need to award everyone...like Semenova and Pavlova who scored around the same but with harder tumbling
@LCAmarkymark But I do think that Yang had more artistry that Semenova. Of course Pavlova's artistry is the best of all, But she has a higher difficulty than Semenova, with more connection bonus, like the 2.5 to full twist, and 1.5 to 1.5. I think her main problem is only the front 1.5 and the double pike, so this routine, to me, scores at least a 15.200, instead of a 15.000.
@gy9402 I see that I feel that pavlova's routine showed variety and was more artistic. I also think that gymnast should be rewarded with stuck landings especially on an f element move. There is still something wrong with the scoring..Yang was predictable not original like other routines. Something is still wrong with the scoring overall.
i dont care how old they are i luv the american gymnast but the chinese gurls were better i dont see what the big deal iz i mean even if they were 11 and twelve like people say the are i think we should be congratulating them.i would be embarrassed to say they were younger but they still kicked my ass they should just enjoy there silver there is only three medals so i would be ecstatic if i even got 1
I agree that the Chinese gymnasts were definitely better than the Americans on team final night but that's not really the point. The point is that if the Chinese are using their younger gymnasts who may be better than ones who are age appropriate, other countries are at a disadvantage if they have gymnasts in the same situation. For example, in 2004 Nastia probably could have made the US olympic team but she was too young. Rules are rules and should be applied to everyone.
Nastia said herself that she probably would have been good enough in 2004, but she wouldn't have been ready mentally. And the Chinese did not cheat at these Olympics. I don't see why this is a big deal! YYL and JYY were at worlds in 2007, and no one questioned them then! HKX was the only one that wasn't at a Worlds before these Games, and the only reason why they were accused of being underage is because they are good and the US doesn't like that.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
NO, they are accused because
1) they have done it before at the sydney games and are currently being investigated
2) the new york times found documents on 4 of them (including kexin and yilin) on a chinese sports website, and after they were uncovered, they were "miraculously" blocked. that AA bronze belongs to KSENIA SEMENOVA, not this 10 year old atrocity
1) Sydney games are irrelevant here. The Russians and the Romanians have had non-age eligible gymnasts at one point.
2) I don't know how to break it to you, but the NYT is American. Which fits my argument perfectly. I could write an article right now saying Rebecca Bross is 10, and it shouldn't be taken as concrete evidence, ESPECIALLY since it's the internet! And just look at YYL now! She's a grown woman, and definitely looks 17!
If it is true what you're saying, Yang yilin should be 16 every year, because wheneve rshe appears she is never old enough to compete, stop the crap man.
When USA beats China then nothing is questioned, but, all of a sudden China beats USA and we got the FBI going full force to find evidence that China cheated (sarcasm)
The FIG investigated, and have come to the decision that the girls WERE NOT underage. China DID apply to the rules. USA lost, China was MUCH better, no one cheated. Face it, and move on, please.
No one questioned the Chinese when USA beat them in 2007. But once China beats USA everyone goes nuts saying they cheated.
I still can't believe people actually seem to believe China cheated. There is even a video on youtube PROVING they didn't. (A doc. from like 2002 or something)
@Gr33nkiwi Plus, Gymnasts are small, any sport like that requires lightness and agility so they're going to be petite .Yes they looked young, but so do a lot of women gymnasts, and other similar sports like figure skating. They're innocent, they played fair
@LuckyInfinity it was a problem because women's gymnastics is suited towards smaller, thinner, prepubescent girls. thus, it was an advantage. many gymnasts say they were better at 13 than 17. but this is all in the past and doesn't matter. let's just all enjoy this beautiful routine
she's much more graceful than nastia

I dont think she deserved bronze, I think she deserved at least silver. She probably would have if Shawn and Nastia werent American. Also i think Ksenia Semenova should have medalled. But this floor is almost perfect, the triple turn is fantastic,.

Yang Yilin is the most underscored gymnast in the 2008 olympics i think:(
she deserved a gold in uneven bars but only a bronze:(
she is really graceful:)
looking forward to see her in the 2012 London Olympics

yang yilin was one of my favorite gymnasts to watch at the olympics :D she did have quite a few wobbles on beam and on floor, though, so that's probably why she only took bronze, but she has great style and artistry

Yuri92001 1 year ago
@cronopio131 I totally agree! I think the truth is the Chinese are soo good there's nothing to fault, so let's just accuse them of being under age. Chinese women ARE small, and so are most gymnasts. If being small is a sign of being underage, let's just say all female gymnasts, figure skaters, and other sports that require agility are underage. She's amazing, China is so good at whatever sports they pursue

meangirlbecca 2 years ago 10
I used to love Jiang Yuyuan because she did a wonderful job on floor in the team finals and apparently that routine draws big attention and applause from the crowd. But after seeing this I'm loving Yang Yilin more. She's more well rounded in skills and really elegant with that slim body figure and smile and to some degree is rather down to earth. Jiang Yuyuan loves spotlight too much. Sometimes I think she needs to work harder and keep a low profile and calm down. Yang is such a valuable athlete
meangirlbecca 2 years ago 4
1:02 bye bye Silver medal
She could have easily gotten a quadruple spin around, and it's an E element!
ChainChomp2 2 years ago
Why was I marked down? It's obvious she landed in a hunch and tucked her legs and lost 0.3 or 0.5 depending whether they deduct from start value or execution and that would have given her the silver medal if she didn't.

she deserves more than 15.000
natalienat518 2 years ago 17
@natalienat518 I don't see how she even got a 15.000 with a double twist pass...thats way to easy to not be under 15.000 and she didn't stick any of her landings...if they are going to award artistic value they need to award everyone...like Semenova and Pavlova who scored around the same but with harder tumbling
LCAmarkymark 11 months ago
@LCAmarkymark But I do think that Yang had more artistry that Semenova. Of course Pavlova's artistry is the best of all, But she has a higher difficulty than Semenova, with more connection bonus, like the 2.5 to full twist, and 1.5 to 1.5. I think her main problem is only the front 1.5 and the double pike, so this routine, to me, scores at least a 15.200, instead of a 15.000.
natalienat518 11 months ago
@natalienat518 Im fine with that but that means that Pavlova would need to be at least a 15.35
LCAmarkymark 11 months ago
@LCAmarkymark
Yang Yilin D 6.1 E 8.900 = 15.000
Semenova D 5.8 E 8.975 = 14.775
Pavlova D 5.8 (5.9 in prelim) E 9.250 = 15.050
So, Yang had the most difficult routine but her execution was the lowest. Semenova's tumblings were not as difficult as Yang's.
gy9402 11 months ago
@gy9402 I see that I feel that pavlova's routine showed variety and was more artistic. I also think that gymnast should be rewarded with stuck landings especially on an f element move. There is still something wrong with the scoring..Yang was predictable not original like other routines. Something is still wrong with the scoring overall.

i dont care how old they are i luv the american gymnast but the chinese gurls were better i dont see what the big deal iz i mean even if they were 11 and twelve like people say the are i think we should be congratulating them.i would be embarrassed to say they were younger but they still kicked my ass they should just enjoy there silver there is only three medals so i would be ecstatic if i even got 1
LuckyInfinity 2 years ago 44
I agree that the Chinese gymnasts were definitely better than the Americans on team final night but that's not really the point. The point is that if the Chinese are using their younger gymnasts who may be better than ones who are age appropriate, other countries are at a disadvantage if they have gymnasts in the same situation. For example, in 2004 Nastia probably could have made the US olympic team but she was too young. Rules are rules and should be applied to everyone.
Tracey424 2 years ago
Nastia said herself that she probably would have been good enough in 2004, but she wouldn't have been ready mentally. And the Chinese did not cheat at these Olympics. I don't see why this is a big deal! YYL and JYY were at worlds in 2007, and no one questioned them then! HKX was the only one that wasn't at a Worlds before these Games, and the only reason why they were accused of being underage is because they are good and the US doesn't like that.
nodaybuttoday01 2 years ago 4
This comment has received too many negative votes show
NO, they are accused because
1) they have done it before at the sydney games and are currently being investigated
2) the new york times found documents on 4 of them (including kexin and yilin) on a chinese sports website, and after they were uncovered, they were "miraculously" blocked. that AA bronze belongs to KSENIA SEMENOVA, not this 10 year old atrocity
BrittanyxKilla 2 years ago
1) Sydney games are irrelevant here. The Russians and the Romanians have had non-age eligible gymnasts at one point.
2) I don't know how to break it to you, but the NYT is American. Which fits my argument perfectly. I could write an article right now saying Rebecca Bross is 10, and it shouldn't be taken as concrete evidence, ESPECIALLY since it's the internet! And just look at YYL now! She's a grown woman, and definitely looks 17!
You've got to be careful what sources you trust.
nodaybuttoday01 2 years ago 2
If it is true what you're saying, Yang yilin should be 16 every year, because wheneve rshe appears she is never old enough to compete, stop the crap man.

So true!
When USA beats China then nothing is questioned, but, all of a sudden China beats USA and we got the FBI going full force to find evidence that China cheated (sarcasm)

@Tracey424
The FIG investigated, and have come to the decision that the girls WERE NOT underage. China DID apply to the rules. USA lost, China was MUCH better, no one cheated. Face it, and move on, please.
No one questioned the Chinese when USA beat them in 2007. But once China beats USA everyone goes nuts saying they cheated.
I still can't believe people actually seem to believe China cheated. There is even a video on youtube PROVING they didn't. (A doc. from like 2002 or something)

@Gr33nkiwi the video proving the chinese gymnasts were not under age is called: "Chinese Gymnasts Underage? Maybe Not."

@Gr33nkiwi Plus, Gymnasts are small, any sport like that requires lightness and agility so they're going to be petite .Yes they looked young, but so do a lot of women gymnasts, and other similar sports like figure skating. They're innocent, they played fair

Gymnast861 1 year ago
@Gymnast861
Well, first of all ALOT isn't a word. It's spelled 'A LOT' yw.
Secondly, Older gymnasts and younger gymnasts have different advantages and disadvantages. It works both ways. I hate people that either ...
A) Still actually believe China was still underage
or
B) Seem to insinuate that China ONLY won because they were younger.
USA had a lot more 16 year olds they could have sent. Countries send their best athletes, China was better. How is this so hard to understand?
Gr33nkiwi 1 year ago
@LuckyInfinity it was a problem because women's gymnastics is suited towards smaller, thinner, prepubescent girls. thus, it was an advantage. many gymnasts say they were better at 13 than 17. but this is all in the past and doesn't matter. let's just all enjoy this beautiful routine
LMA629 1 year ago
@LuckyInfinity Exactly! And even if they were underage, I'm SURE it wasn't their decision to lie about it.
