Samantha Peszek - Floor Exercise - 2008 Visa Championships - Day 1

[MsSweetHana]

There is chalk all over the floor! lol Makes her look dusty XD

[13shifter]

That is a really hard dismount

[gemclumsyninja]

Is that first skill a silivas??

[xoGymnastxx3]

@gemclumsyninja yeah i think... idk haha its a double double ...

[bernardmvella]

@gemclumsyninja yup

[Faith11222001]

She's great, except not compared to Shawn Johnson.

[FlicTuckFull]

She wasn't underscored - she's messy. Why people can't see that I'll never know.

[alglmf1976]

BEautiful!!!

[askinnywhiteguy22]

you are the greatest tumbler who lived and my favorite gymnast of all time ps, how do u do a double double i mean the best skill i can do is a double full but.... im 10

[ALBrazil23]

this music sounds similar to alicia sacramone's 08 floor routine

[supfcka]

i hate that music...its sounds like whips

[KamerinMooreRox]

fantastic second pass

[gacabru85]

underscored

[SSailorSScoutSS]

thoes commentators were so annoying, that was still an amazing routeen -,- they didn't say anything good about her!

[LCAmarkymark]

@SSailorSScoutSS there just wasn't much good to say here..she has done better before and they know that because they have watched her for the last 2 or 3 years. They count your seven hardest elements and when you have deductions on a majority of your seven hardest moves theres just not much good to say.

[TinyAva93]

I'm so sick of seeing sloppy pirouettes from gymnasts! It completely ruins otherwise good performances.

[gymbug341]

Sam Peszek is my hero...i love her story

[CaseyVolturi]

I wish the commentators would talk about the good things instead of the bad.

[co123445666]

is it just me or does the music echo..?

[ellovestumbling332]

she is sooo pretty :)

[pervered]

better with no sound

[LCAmarkymark]

That was terrible...what was the score...she fell out of that turn the step out of bounds...she ended after her music was done...Im glad she used this to get better for the olympics..I have never seen her like this before

[ItsTheCupcakeAngel]

@LCAmarkymark You learn how to do all that stuff perfectly and then you can judge her. Get a life.

[Gr33nkiwi]

@ItsTheCupcakeAngel

The comment was perfectly acceptable. This performance was terrible for what she can do.

I doubt the judges can do this 'perfectly' yet they still judge her.

This routine wasn't even close to her best.

[LCAmarkymark]

@Gr33nkiwi Thank you. Its nice to know that some people have a brain on this site. Sounds like someone on here needs to get a life if you ask me lol.

[gymnastx124]

she needs to tone down the make up....great gymnastics tho

[horizongymnast69]

I love her and her routine sooooooooooo much! GO GYMNASTICS! GYMNASTICS 4 LIFE AND EVER! NEVER GIVE UP ON GYMNASTICS! BEST SPORT EVER! BEAUTY , GRACE , AND PASSION! LOVE IT! REMEMBER 4 LIFE AND EVER! - Alyssa

[fullblowngenius]

GRACE, STRENGTH & BEAUTY personified as with no other...she's the most under-rated, under-appreciated female gymnast in the wolrd.....stunning in every way, shape, and form...E

[horsejumpergurl107]

NBC commentators are the worst. they need to go. and the landing on the double pike looked like it hurt! i hope she's ok.

[gymnasticsluv123]

she looks like lauren from make it or brake it.......

[moopoo66]

@gymnasticsluv123 omg 2 seconds ago my friend just said the same thing! maybe she is their stunt person for her!

[love2flip10]

I have never like the female commentator. she needs to go

[sami7798]

BAM ITS SAM!

[tatulover2120]

double pike was low but i cant do that

[harrypottersgymnast]

not one of sam's best floor routines but i do have to admit her 2nd pass was direct and spot on!! go sam!!

[MMegaminx]

everyone always forgets that sam also does the double twisting double back, not just shawn. i mean i love shawn and all, but you can't forget sam :)

[caramelcreamsauce]

she's really good!

what a powerful routine!

BAM!

[aylakellfan]

i think she could do a bit better with the eyeshadow and with her double arabian, she landed that and nastia liukin, whos the world champion didnt at this event.

Did samantha peszek go to the olympics???

[JohnPhilipSousa519]

Yes she did. Unfortunately, just before preliminaries, she was injured so she was limited to bars.

[kevinlongwood]

she looked so tired by the end of that routine. good thing she took out that 1.5 indirect connection to double pike by trials

[sarahbarah4562]

her dance moves are kind of dumb and she takes way to long when she is standing in the corner thats why she ended after the music.

[MisanthropistPro]

Wouldn't you agree that she finish after her music than go for her last pass without resting sufficiently? I'm pretty sure the deduction for finishing after the music is a lot smaller than face planting.

[blackmoon2188]

I think she should find music that better suits her routine then, because every time she did this routine she ended late. You have the same routine for a pretty lengthy time, so you'd assume she'd configure it to work to her advantage..but I guess not lol.

[kittycatsrule86]

She's awesome but she needs to work on her split leaps

[W0AHLIN0]

is there a deduction for ending after the music does?

[itstheapocalypse]

Yup. Two-tenths.

[AsksOneThing]

I don't know how far behind she actually was. The audio is off by a bitt.

[AnnaPavlovaFan]

WOW! Great difficulty! I got an A score of 6.5. Is that correct?

[gymnast768]

i THINK its a 6.4. may be wrong.

[mo0rrisz]

i got a 6.5 too... well with the fall on the spin would be 6.4

[SK8MAN9909]

there were absolutely no front handsprings

[Dunntosh]

But there was a double arabian (which is counted as a front skill) and a front full out of her 5/2 twist.

[SteelerNationFan43]

she's great, her leo is pretty.

[Mehrunissah93]

She had quite a few slip ups and you can tell by her breathing and concentrated face that she was nervous.

[rahoooligans]

why does the music have an echo??

[gymnast592]

was that shawn in the background at 1:23

jw

i love sam!!!!

[stctumbler]

i hate those commentators in the background

[000Tani]

i know right!

[Hehe762]

my brother thinks she's a robot

[LauraKeynes]

i love Sammy

[divnast7]

Was that a quad turn she fell out of? I swear it's four times. Haha

[schood85]

it's a triple but looks like a quad because she spins so fast!

[gymnastics404]

? she didnt fall out of any? She got out of bounds from a double double... Here were the passes in order: 1) roundoff,backhandpsring, double twisting double tuck. 2) round off, backhandpsring, 2 1/2 to punch front full. 3) roundoff,backhandpsring, arabian double front summer sault. 4) roundoff,1 1/2, round off, backhandspring, double pike.

[ItsNastiaFan101]

she fell out of the turn

[MisanthropistPro]

=O.... be my teacher? haha. I do have some questions, if you wouldn't mind answering them.

[Ralilein93]

she fell out of the triple turn (well it was supposed to be a triple turn, in fact it was more like 2 1/2)

[kaylamac104]

i think shes better than shawn!

[cwgcGymnast]

hate the music but love the tumbles

[ShawnJohnson3]

wow she does some unique tumbling

[dragu88]

wooo nice routine
