Daria Joura 2008 Australian Nationals Team FX

[TBGN]

she smashed it. Even now, 3 years later, I miss her.

[lewisovhebn]

if only she did that routine at the 2008 olympics

[nikirififo]

What a shame. YouTube has downgraded the quality of this video.

[lewisovhebn]

Daria at he best !! :D

[lewisovhebn]

[enpha87]

Beautiful double layout! too bad this didn't happen in Beijing T_T

[potassiumiodideki]

Way to stick landings!!

She's gorgeous.

[sqekcx]

Gosh if she performed like this she would have won the gold medal in Beijing. Although the judges there would probably find something to deduct.

[cityboyz1uk]

Agreed - that was awesome. One of the best of the world. I'm a coach using her floor music for one of my gymnasts and I'm watching this for inspiration and I'm thinking, I hope no one tries to compare my gymnasts to Joura for no one can do this piece of music justice the way she does! LOL.

[woollumn]

that would be cool if it was though

[woollumn]

was that a dubble lay out or a tripple

[mistysakura]

Double. I daresay triple layouts are physically impossible on floor, even for men.

[jihel974]

I'm sorry but people said that triple back tuck was physically impossible on floor and Valeri Liukin did it...

[willsbob123]

Yes, he or she means, a triple twisting triple layout is physically impossible. Only if you're on a tramploline into a pit.

[guitikepo]

Perfect

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

If she would've scored this well in Beijing she could've medaled! Oh, well. She's still awesome!

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

If she would've performed this well and qualified to EF in the Olympics, she could've medaled! Oh, well. She's still awesome!

[SillyGymnast5]

i love her!

[monagym]

WoW!!! Great routine with stuck landinds! Very nice Dasha!!!

[jojo1802]

Great routine. What would her A score be if she took out the Dbl Pike and brought back in the full-in to finish?

[CheyeXO]

i loooooooooooooooooooooove her routine!!! its so passionate! doesnt dasha train at wais? with lauren?

[nikirififo]

This Olympics were too bad for Dasha

x.x

Damn =( she's so talented

[fullybookedbarnzie]

pretty much flawless

[holman64]

wow, nice landings. stick it like that in Beijing for us, Dasha!

[dawggypaws001]

the music is so intense it makes it seem like she is going to do something outragous but i love this video and she is an amaazing gymnist

[sk8gold2010]

Can't wait to see her at the Olympics! Thanks for sharing!

[dAnThEmAn178987]

she is always sticking that double layout lately dayummmm! ahhh i love dasha!

[gotgym2]

anyone know the name of this music that seems very popular with the elite athletes

[RLATC2000]

I'm not completely sure but I think it's the soundtrack to Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Or the soundtrack to some movie, lol, I've watched so many gymanstics videos the past several weeks that I've lost track but this music is nice and Daria does it justice. Nice routine from her.

[ausgymnastics87]

I was at this comp and her floor routine was one of the best i've ever seen!! It was amazing. Lets hope she produces that at the olympics!

[gboy818]

wicked routine but i was hoping she would dismount on a full in. i no it saounds kinda far streched but it would be awesome. the only woman i have ever seen do that is cheng fei!

[ClayBabe6]

shawn johnson does it now. :)

[djm71675]

i hope you mean in recent years, because up through 96, full in dismounts (& harder) were very common among the best fx workers. if cheng really is the only you've seen, i suggest you spend some time youtubing. today it's a lot harder to do them (since by the time dismounts happen, most are on their 5th pass). but i agree, not only would i like dasha to do a full in dismount, i actually think she could as her full in is pretty sound & it doesn't appear that she is struggling with stamina.

[krell88]

hahahahaha ... its funny because its true. in fact, 7 out of the 8 gymnasts in the 1996 olympic floor event finals dismounted with full-ins. Moceanu was the only one not to.

[doumora]

I love this bitch!

lol

[czucksk84life]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

[emma2710gymnastics]

awesome routine! :D

[pakkurisu]

I'm surprised that she didn't score higher. She had only a few minor errors... how is she losing .60 from the B score?

[NewNewNastiaFan101]

form on rudi(not in a definite tuck/layout)-0.1

step out of turn -0.1

form on 2/1 -0.1

lack of amplitude on switch ring -0.1

didn't quite hit 180 on switch 1/2 -0.1

low chest on double pike landing -0.1

[kleonstar]

that means 9.4 B score??

what's her A score?

[NewNewNastiaFan101]

6.3 here, usually 6.2 with just the triple turn

[caramelcreamsauce]

Her rudi is supposed to be tucked :)

[GymnasticsAddict]

That was, without a doubt, the best routine she has EVER DONE! Freaking perfect on every single landing, dance was amazing and expressive as always, that quad spin was out of this world, and her new double layout is the best EVER! If Daria doesn't win some kind of medal in Beijing, then I'll just forget this Olympics ever happened. She deserves it more than anyone else! Favorite gymnast ever!!

[gymnastic1]

she is definitely ready for beijing on this event!!!

[krell88]

so i noticed she didnt complete the gomez the subsequent night and for me that begged the question "why not?" As a dancer I find the "gomez" / quadruple pirouette relatively easy. However, I notice that most gymnast don't spot in there turns which makes maintaining your balance extraordinarily hard. Does anyone know why gymnasts are trained with this technique? My sister is a gymnast and when I thought her the spot she always hit her triple pirouettes.

[mistysakura]

Dasha is one of the only gymnasts to spot their turns. Her not hitting the turn on Friday was probably just a fluke. And you'll know already that it's quite hard to turn on a soft springy floor :)

[Doug1233]

Nice.

F, C-C[11], D[1], C, D-B[1], C[1], C=C, D[1]

A-6.3 + B-9.4 = 15.7

That quad spin was amazing! I wonder if she meant for it to be a triple but realised she could hold it a tiny bit longer!

No words for that DLO!

[mistysakura]

Eh, she used to do a 3 1/2; she's permanently upgraded it now.

[ClayBabe6]

actually, she'll probably upgrade it but it was in an australian newspaper that she said it was a fluke to do the quad and that if she becomes consistent enough she's going to upgrade it permenantly.

[gothecats29]

Great job Dash - well done!

[gymnastbabee9]

and great floor music too btw!

didnt alicia have the same one before?

[NewNewNastiaFan101]

nope

[Darkangel127]

Alicia used to dance to "Santa María del Buen Ayre", also a tango. Unless I'm very much mistaken, she still does.

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

Yup, she does.

[gymnastbabee9]

omg! thanks sooooo much for uploading this. ya i agree with krell88. i used to think she was ok on floor but now, she'll definitely be in EF at the Olympics. shes seriously a threat for a medal! her upgrades are incredible. shes so clean, precise, expressive, and powerful!

[krell88]

i used to think she was good on floor (especially with choreo). now that she's stepped up the tumbling and added new dance elements ... she is GREAT and a new contendor for floor final...similar to anna pavlova's new floor routine. bring it shawn johnson, cheng fei and alicia sacromone.

[Darkangel127]

I was gonna say! Dasha's and Anna's floor routines are by far the best in the world in terms of choreography! WOW! I've always liked her but now she's like my 2nd favourite gymnast!

[Wendel1988]

Beautiful Gomez!

XD

[tbc2006]

WICKEDDD!!

[stripygiraffe]

wow, it was perfect! AWESOME ROUTINE.

[BretagneShrew]

Double Layout STUCK COLD!!!

wooohoooo Go Dasha!!!!!!!!

[ClayBabe6]

everything was amazing!

[SonyaNatalia]

Okay, I can see it now (on a different computer).

If she doesn't get a floor medal in Beijing I'm going to be very disappointed.

That double layout is beautiful.

[KarenLovesGymnastics]

I know! It was STUCK like an arrow in a target!

[stgybo]

That DLO was lovely. I love the music and choreography, too. She really sells it.

[SonyaNatalia]

I can't see this video!! It's not working for me!!

[jualialiju]

DASHA, I LOVE YOU.

Fabulous routine.

PERFECT!

[Lilia96]

Dasha you fucking ROCK!!!!! xxxxxxxx

[CoCoNuTsiopatHic]

That routine was tremendous in every way.

[TBGN]

zomg! AMAZING double layout, quad twist, sassy, sophisticated, artistic, freaking LOVE DASHA JOURA!

[fcavalheiro]

Oh my God, I looooove this routine!

[angel2116]

was that piroquette a quad?, if it was it was awesome.

[AMA1235410]

Nothing has made me smile brighter than seeing this routine than today. I have often thought I would love to see Daria have a real shot at an olympic medal and now hand on heart I can say she has a great chance. She encompasses everything gymnastics should be and its a delight to see. Go Dasha!

Oooo also do you think she will add the full in somewhere?

[nikirififo]

*-*

Another contender to EF FX

Awesome Double Layout and she added a Gomez

Wow

[gymtastickt]

WOWOWOWOWOWOW! amazing, what astonishing landings on.... everything, gorgeous form, artistic, this girl's always one of my favourite but thast's awesome! Bring on Bejing!
