Samantha Peszek - Balance Beam - 2008 Visa Championships - Women - Day 2

[evab414]

3 people don't know how hard is to do gymnastics...

[happyari13]

i can do that... on a trampoline!!! haha

[Timic83pronc]

I heard she was actually supposed to do beam in the Olympic Team Final, not Sacramone.

[chinghxd]

I'm so disappointed she's not giving elite one more chance; but at least she's still doing gymnastics for NCAA!

[bernardmvella]

@MrAerial12345 I'd say China still would have won, but it would have been a lot closer.

[sarasr18]

I miss her, she's not doing a comeback, right?

[PinkDancer96]

It's a shame she was injured in Beijing. She could have been used on vault and beam. Delivering great routines like this.

[TorixLovee]

They said that she was best on floor and vault and she could do beam and uneven bars in a pinch if needed, but she did those two the best!

Go Sammmm!! :3

Totally deserved it!

[ToriLove33]

She is amazing! Amazing routine, moves, and flat out amazing dismount!!(:

[alyssaxking]

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I think that if she didn't injure herself, she should have went up instead of Alicia Sacramone on beam at the Olympics.

[23jjaass]

@alyssaxking yeah shes amazing on beam. that was the plan for her to do beam but sadly she got injured..alicia didnt even know she would be doing beam.

[Ineedthat06]

@alyssaxking I said the same thing about Chellsie

[khyeisasmilechild]

She Is Like Lauren Off Make It Or Break It And She Is Like QUEEN OF THE BEAM!

[Stonymypony]

If she had been healthy in beijing she would have been on beam. Go Sam!

[jmesocks19]

THAT WAS AMAZING . BETTER THAN SHAWN AND NASTIA EVEN . DID ANYONE ELSE SEE THAT DISMOUNT !?

[legalglitz]

Even though she does that awesome opening, the second series looks terrible because I've seen Nastia Liukin do it. It's amazing what that girl can ruin for some of these other girls. Especially amazing because they can actually do things she could never do, yet she still looks better than they do. haha love her. =p

[yeayeawudeva01]

that dismount was outstanding :)

[luvthegymnastgrl123]

i was at the 2011 championships and she did awesome on beam

[ycosette2009]

@luvthegymnastgrl123 i read your comment and was very confused...then it clicked that you were talking about NCAA's...i was there too and she did amazing :D i cheered for her all the way :D

[KateAndr1]

i go to the highschool she went to. :)

[KVHolland3]

Tim said that "There's no possible way that you can land with your chest up on a standing full..." Well apparently you can...

[xoxPatriots83ily]

@KVHolland3 She didn't land with her chest up. She brought her chest up after she landed, but she didn't land with it up. She landed it exactly like Shawn does who also brings her chest up quickly afterwards, but doesn't land with it up either. Sam is great on beam though.

[ivonne1508]

if she got 16 i think Shawn deserved more than that... 16.500 or somnthing.

[peaceluvcheer97]

Both her and Chellsie Memmel don't get enough recognition i hope they stay for 2012 because they could lead the team to gold

[ellovestumbling332]

we would have won the team competition in beijing if chelsie and sam weren't hurt... they are amazing!

[sophiejo]

always found her so pretty. i know it was all about shawn and nastia, but i had high hopes for the "pretty" one...lol

[owlcu]

Beam is 90% mental. She's tough inside and out.

[emmyjo720]

She is more interesting and dynamice than Sacramone. 

[hockeygirl789]

wow, shes so solid. im jealous

[tallrob11]

@kuddygymnast12 i know!! if she hadn't injured herself then who knows?? maybe she could've competed and won?? i love her and am sad that she is only doing NCAA now...waste of talent...going into the the land of full twisting yurchenkos...lol

[jhl2011]

i feel like if she slowed down a bit on her turn she could've stuck it better and made it a lot smoother... also, niiiiice dismount!

[raclip02]

Wow, the level of difficulty is right up there with Shawn Johnson. Great job!

[MichaelaLeach]

she rocked it!

[sacuin]

She is really under appreciated, her beam skills are equal to

Shawn Johnson's yet she doesn't get the same amount of attention.

[natalienat518]

@kuddygymnast12 she's injured

[Exxdancer]

i think this routine was very well done and i don't intentionally mean to be rude and i know this is rrrreeeeealllllyyyyyy hard skills that she is doing on the beam it would look even better if it was slowed down a bitttt.

[benrobinson77]

what is that standing full to another back tuck worth?

[javajunkie6]

@benrobinson77 it's worth 0.2, plus the difficulty of the elements of course

[aylakellfan]

ok she is sooo much better than nastia liukin and she didnt even win

[waleigh99]

I love her beam routine! its my favorite routine behind Shawns Floor

[luv4cookie1]

her full twsit is so high and clean! gorg!

[xocase09]

way to go sammy sam.. :) love you

[RagingBearVideos]

Well it makes sense to go quickly, there are a lot of skills in that routine. AWESOME though.

[itstheapocalypse]

Best I've seen her on beam.

[harrypottersgymnast]

she did amazing that day!!!on every event!

[kittycatsrule86]

her routine rocks especially the full twist

[SK8MAN9909]

she is amazing. but to me, the routine seemed a little rushed to get everything in. just my opinion though.

[musiclover4698]

this got a 16, it was an absolutely amazing routine, it totally deserved it!

[Timtation69]

amazing routine! She has the skills to be a world champion on bea

[481095ymg2]

yeah i wish she was there for 2009.

[artyowen92]

she does on face value, but she lacks consistency on balance beam, an apparatus taht requires precision. thats why shes primarily a power gymnast, as they said, for vault and floor! still amazing though! well deserved mark of 16!!

[ogrunner4lyfe]

i don't think she lacks consistency on beam at all. her beam set for 2008 was always dead on. and the fall at the covergirl classic in 2009 was a hiccup because at the 2009 visa championships she was amazing on beam, both days.
