Chellsie Memmel - Floor Exercise - 2008 Visa Championships - Day 1

[meadowlane37]

she looks really fit,especially in a leotard.

[xGoodbyeLullabyx]

is it just me or is somthing wrong with everyones music on night 1?

[WebVady]

con respecto a los acrobaticos es muy buena gimnasta, pero le falta elegancia, flecibilidad y graica concuerdo contigo MissEmoxSkittles

[livelaughlove9723]

lovee her leo!

[FlicTuckFull]

That Dos Santos is to die for. A turn, then two beautiful double front pikes. Stunning.

[blackpower462]

she should go blonde

[smiley10croatia1]

Her back handsprings are really weird

[MissEmoxSkittles]

Really I applaud Memmel for her skills. She is a top class athlete. However, I like how Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin can combine class with skills. Memmel represents a more... male style of gymnastics. Hammering the moves with little grace or elegance. Also, her tumbles seemed awful low, or was that camera angle. Of course I believe she is incredible but she just doesn’t possess that flare of both skill and elegance that makes gymnasts Olympians. Still, I would kill to be able to do that !

[TagPop]

Hm i think she deserves more, some skills are noy up there, but at least .25 more

[gymnasticsfan14]

Her leotard looks like it would be a "USA" leotard. Also she has the worst choregraphy I have ever seen!

[thekatherinequeen]

When she's getting ready to do a flip, she looks like she's about to kill someone

[LCAmarkymark]

2 F skills back to back..wonderful

[famy5678]

Watching these videos makes me wish I'd taken and interest in gymnastics when I was younger, but thinking about it I'm probably too tall. Being 5"11 has it's disadvantages.

[QueenieQue]

@famy5678 Yep, for competitive gymnastics, you're WAY too tall (tallest gymnasts max at 5'6")...but that shouldn't stop you from doing gymnastics for fun! I suppose the world of modeling is open to you...

[lilchickita408]

@famy5678 not necessarily. i am 5'7.5" (and growing) and I do gymnastics. it obviously more difficult aaand its not like im going anywhere with it, but i am in love with the sport. i started in the july of 2010 (i was thirteen) and had my first competition not too long ago. its a whole lot of fun and a great work out! it definitely was difficult starting too late but nothing is not worth going after.

[thegymgirls]

@famy5678 yeah . i'm 5'4" and it's hard .

[TheCookieMonster33]

@thegymgirls im 6'2'' and its really hard

[86gymnast1]

I absolutely LOVE her little sequence at 1:17 starting with the illusion. She is amazing.

[thejadedancer24]

Wow, she is sooo damn good!!!

[mirentina]

Omfg! She's so amazing! Thumps ub!

[TormanSteven]

Looked a little clumsy on those passes

[94StinePettersen]

why haven`t i heard of her before ;oo

[xogymnastxo7]

5 tumbling passes? thats insane i can barely do 3 three that are sooo much easier than hers. hahaha

[gymchick3345]

his her "butt-bounce" named after her? it should be!

[afgymnast96]

@gymchick3345 no, only one skill can be named after someone, not a sequence of skills. It should be though :(

[SuperLol96]

1:21

[blk344]

At 1:13, it that a double or triple twist?

[CopGymnast861]

@blk344 double

[madtap14]

"Cool." XD

[tigercheer0501]

she came to my gym...shes ammazing..i gotta meet her

[DogLover811]

is she.... turkish?

i hear turkish music in the backround

[arielle1997]

sheez gud!!!!

[crazyfishlegs]

Her landings are a bit to short

[BoomDynamite3000]

I love how she doesn't take a huge power hurdle into her roundoff. It's like she goes straight into it!

[TheJordy456]

The hight on her arabian double pike is unbelievable!!!

[HaydeeMary]

her leaps need some work..

[JTGPCFL]

First pass = WOW.

Second pass = WOW.

She's super woman.

[yhebfc]

The tumblings are cool, especially the piked arabian. But the split jump is not...

[emily96ify1]

does anyone know what that song is that chellsie is performing to ????

its a song i heard years ago, but i wanna know the name cos i love it !

please let me know what the name is if anyone knows it

thanks -XXXXXXXXXXX

[MdrnDncr87]

@emily96ify1 the first part of her floor music is called played-a-live (the bongo song) or just the bongo song and its by safri duo

[emily96ify1]

@MdrnDncr87 im sorry i only just seen your reply :( thank you!!! ive been trying to get the name of this song for ages, it reminds me of being on holiday in fuerteventura xD!!

[randomness132]

How did that only get a 15.100? I know that "she got a little funky on that last leap" (ahem) but the rest of her routine was amazing!

[luizfernandoa]

her first tumblins is "Dos Santos" performed by Daiane dos Santos from Brazil. This tumbling is difficult "G".

[MaebySurelyBarely]

@luizfernandoa This one (a Dos Santos 1 - a.k.a. a double piked arabian) is an F. The Dos Santos 2 - double laid-out arabian is a G.

[angelicbabii]

She has greatt tumbling but she lacks grace and poise.

She seems too tired, too quickly but I really enjoyed watching her:)

Best of luck to her in the future<3

[leeny11]

@angelicbabii i agree

[HuggsKissez]

i like all the energy in her routine!!!

[MichaelaLeach]

haha I like it when the commentator says "cool"....

[TheAlbagirl01]

@MichaelaLeach Wath is the song???

[tatulover2120]

5 tumbling passes????

[W0AHLIN0]

her first pass was front tumbling.

[lylaha]

and at 1:00

[willsbob123]

You can defenitely tell what 2 weeks from Nationals to Olympics trials can do. This was shocking compared to Olympic trials.

[goodyougetastar]

the commentators suck at commenting... seriously.

[SK8MAN9909]

she is definitely good, but definitely not the best

[MisanthropistPro]

They all do double pikes. I love it so much. ha.

[LuvGymnastix]

0:45 - 0:47

What's up with that leap?

[gymnasticsfreak1989]

they had said that she wasnt conditioned well yet floor was hard for her to do she definately looked tired on the leap and 3rd pass

[TikiBoy382]

The music she uses...is it from the new Battlestar Galatica?

[czucksk84life]

haha no, its two or maybe three different songs by Safri Duo

[Nasiir48]

Damn! That first pass was SKY HIGH! She looked like she was running out of steam towards the end, though.

[Nasiir48]

Damn! That fist pass was SKY HIGH! She really looked like she was running out of steam towards the end, though.

[nastic120892]

and she fell too

[kenpalmer1965]

Hello. Didn't Chelsie suffer some sort of an injury that prevented her from finishing the competition in last summer's Olympics? I couldn't remember.

Ken Palmer

[swizzletwizzle]

She suffered a broken ankle, so she could only compete on the uneven bars.

[cwgcGymnast]

why dint she do her whip into flick flcik doube tucked arabian in this video for?..

[DuhustBus000]

she took it out obviously, but she has stated that she might like it in her floor in the future

[siljed30492]

So, she's going to continue doing gymnastics at elite level!? :) Because I've heard that she was going to quit after the 08 OG..!

[funky17620]

she did beam at 09 nationals to help make a decision. and after she competed she said she was leaning toward coming back!

i hope she does:)

[tmwalkerm]

@funky17620 Me too, as long as she doesn't injure herself again like seems to happen just when she's hitting her stride and is on top of her training.

[mrflipz]

her leo is pretty.
