Chellsie Memmel - Floor Exercise - 2008 Olympic Trials - Day 2

[pegestao]

Safri Duo, for The Bongo Song !

[0o0shawty0o0]

Wowww!! Ok so I know NOTHING about gymnastic at all, I just like watching it...but this girl whas like BAM!! Her landing are so clean! Are those the juges at 1:44??? Loll

[xxtalitha]

was she number 1?

[addictdisarray]

ohmygoodness



[ihateallofyou1231]

her double back layout was clean as can be.

[daffodilZephyr]

Love this routine why wasnt she talked about in the bejing olympics

[TheGymSavant]

@daffodilZephyr I believe she injured her ankle right before the olympics ;(

[thepootsnerd]

that double pike... oh my... blown away.

[julie1995able]

i love that martha is claing for her

[Ineedthat06]

Best performance of all time!

[SZSZK1]

Идеальное выступление! Как всё отточено, какие чёткие приземления!

[brunimonster]

1:12 Someone explain me how can that be possible o_O

[yupmonk3yzrul3]

she just made that tiring as hell routine look simple and effortless.......how?!?!?!

[watercoloursgrey]

BRILLIANT! So beautiful. Just gorgeous. 

[ParanoidAndroidDA]

Every time I see this routine I think bring back the lunge step. All her steps were controlled and they looked fine. I love this routine, it's solid and suits her so well

[lewisovhebn]

Never seen anyone stick a double pike like that! W.O.W

[KarpfenKarpfen]

@lewisovhebn

Jiang Yuyuan stuck her double pike like that at the team final of the 2007 Worlds in Stuttgart ;)

[MaryUseFor2]

Whats the name of the move, Chellsie does when 1.10 min are over?

[btrfeder]

marta was standing wow! and what was that second to last run it looked like only a full or a double?

[lifeartistically10]

@btrfeder Double twist.

[gemclumsyninja]

Those landings were so beautiful- she earned that standing ovation!

[Appaddict01]

@lupper Probably, because she had the unfortunate luck of being injured, before both the 04 & 08 Olympics. She was uneven bars World Champion in 2003 & All-Around World Champion in 2005! She only competed bars. In the team final at the Beijing Olympics. She injured her ankle;(.......She likely would have competed beam instead of Alicia. If she wasn't injured.

[lupper08]

....why do i not remember her?! I only remember shawn and nastia. But thats because they were amazing at everything. No lie.

[Davylp]

God the crowd was electric. They loved her!

[doglover807]

wow she is good but not as good as nastia. we will never see gymnastics like nastias again

[Allynonymous]

i am obsessed with her landings. and, you know, the rest of her routine. and her. :D

[tkaca97]

She is great..

[ICONiacLOVE12]

Im a HUGE shawn fan !!!!!!! But she should of got a higher score in my opinion .

[xxTotallyGawjusxx]

What what! How come she got lower than Shawn?

[xeverydayisbeautiful]

whats the song called??

[DropInTheOcean0]

@xeverydayisbeautiful the first is ,,Safri Duo-Played A Live"

[khyeisasmilechild]

love the music

[gymnance13]

she's sooooo fast( in a good way)

[Singandcheer12]

under scored. under scored. x 93435934583429

[kbkaitie74]

Waat was her score

[MrDanceobssesesme]

Underfreakingscored!

[zgeorgiegeorgez]

every time i watch this i get shivers!

[randomsmilezzz]

my floor music!

[ImposssibleIsNothing]

this gives me chills!

[sarahhskies]

so much power. i love Alicia, don't get me wrong. but Chellsie throws hard tricks she knows she can land, Alicia throws them for the hell of it.

[bcanon58]

@sarahhskies Alicia does not throw tricks for the hell of it. There is a reason she has been doing the same routine for years on every event. Alicia has not upgraded vault, beam or floor in awhile (in fact she's downgraded on floor). Her skills have such good form, wheras other gymnasts throw skills that look ugly in the air. Mustafina or Nabieva are the skill chuckers

[jadeypops1997]

Personally, I think she should of scored way higher than she did :)

[nicklex01]

I sooo miss when you saw floor routine scores in the high 15's. Now you very rarely see the in the very high 14's, if there lucky they break into the 15's :/ It seems we've had a ton more injuries in this COP then we did in the last. Just this year alone at worlds we had Alicia Sacramone had surgery, Anna Li had surgery, Rebecca Bross had surgery, Chellsie Memmel had Surgery, Jonathan Horton just had Surgery, and Aliya Mustafina had surgery also. This COP is legit injury prone.

[PioneerOnSupercity]

her heights were amazing :O

[MrDanceobssesesme]

Sweet!

[blondeappricot]

one of our level 9s has this floor music :o)

[peaceluvcheer97]

You know you're good when Marta Karolyi is giving you a standing ovation.

[ParanoidAndroidDA]

That last landing was like her feet were superglued to the floor

[dogsrcool099]

I love the way she went straight in fr tumbles!

[boytoyville]

Only time I have seen Marta get up for a standing O. I think Steve Rybecki gave her some extra encouragement. lol

[zeldafreak701]

lol Bela Karoyli at 1:44

[khyeisasmilechild]

SHE WAS SO UNDERSCORED !

[freshsprout]

I think she would've won the Gold EF in Beijing with this routine. Really feel for her for getting injured, man. 

[ParanoidAndroidDA]

What's that wierd flip thing she does after the illusion saltos where she sorta sits down? She's the only gymnast I've ever seen do it

[TheEverEssence]

Stunning!

[GreekGeekTalkShow]

OMG i just noticed the guy at 1:43 in the backround with the mustache that was the guy from make it or break it. who played sashas dad.

[dpoke23]

@GreekGeekTalkShow Ya its Bela Karolyi

[edwardismyhomie]

she did not deserve that low of a score for the perfection in this routine.

[purplebabe012]

she would have given nastia a run for her money is she went to the olympics

[05211923]

amazing



[Dizziegillespie0123]

Watch her just stick all the landings

[WaterEngel4]

Wow, she had such good landings!

[xcutegirlx25]

is she amazing is she coming back in 2012!! WOW

[chainswimmer]

what was her execution score? because this was PERFECT.

[gemclumsyninja]

I just love how, for once, the commentators just shut up and are amazed. It's good to hear them, but sometimes the amazing purity of Chelsea's routine just needs to be heard. Beautiful.

[alglmf1976]

@inesitaginasta agreed

[insanegrl11]

I have actually watched this video one hundred time. She's flawless. I love it!

[alglmf1976]

beautiful double pike

[CABULLET1]

I love her! That was amazing!

[Dizziegillespie0123]

That was a-m-a-z-i-n-g done to perfection. incredible.

[alglmf1976]

love this



[alyssaxking]

Both Sam Peszek and Chellsie Memmel were completely screwed over in getting injured. So upsetting they didn't get to fully compete.

[crazynightsinparis]

GOOSEBUMPS every single time I wacht this. She's an amazing gymast. I'm really really hoping she makes that 2012 Olympic team and returns home with, at least, one medal (hopefully gold) in one of her best events. :D

[hpobsessor1]

Usually, beam and bars are my favorite events to watch. But this- this sent chills down my spine!

[insanegrl11]

chellsie darling, smile! you're fantastic!!!

[HeatherWhateverr]

To the one person that disliked this... I bet you can't do that^^

[MakLukens]

Floor is hands down her best event and i think if she went to the olympics she wouls've gotten gold for that fabulous routine!!!

[2010amberj]

i hate it when people post a mean comment just because they are bored:P

[ajp122767]

@thalia1998100

then why are you even here? O.o

[Tienchen15]

i´ve got tears in my eyes.... Beautiful!!!!

[2010amberj]

amazing!!!

[lStunnaal]

1:10 She Does This Wierdd Thing?? WTFFFFF>>

[piratemzn123]

i luv her perfomance!!!❤

Awesome! Amazing! she is the best gymnast ive ever seen!!

[hollistergrloxo6]

who ever disliked this video must have been one of her competitors because it was so amazing.

[hockeygirl789]

she's such a great floor performer

[khyeisasmilechild]

Omg This Is My Floor Routine Musoc At 00;15 - 00;29 but more then that it has more music den dat

[gymnasticsboy3]

an amazing athlete ... this routine is just plain fun! :)

[cocabean800]

XpurplepeopleeaterXX is right and also did anyone see all the people with the Chellsie ARocks shirts on! OMG there're sooo many people! I had no idea she extisted but now im happy i know she acctually does. People like her are the reason almost 2-3 times a week i look up gymnastics!

[aeroboi18]

if you can get Marta on her feet, you deserve all the respect in the world...

[MyXLastXTango]

welll, she twists her legs when she twists, so i wouldn't say she has perfect execution. But this routine is truly amazing :D

[danldunham]

Talk about energy and control. She Rocks. Love her expressed attitude too.

[aurelinda68]

only a 15.85? i think she deserved more than that!

[FlicTuckFull]

@aurelinda68

Of course you do.

[zozorocks99]

i dont get it!! she didnt win..?

[ParkourClearwater]

Chellsie is a MASTER at Arabians. She can do Arabians on the beam and Double Arabians on the floor as if she was merely BREATHING.

[AHinken1]

She has GREAT endurance...omg

[whenwillfridaycome]

I have such high respect for this girl. She's definitely on my top 10 people I would love to meet.

[wildlozza]

omg thats just amazing how does she do that leg raise thing at 1 : 09

[katya35]

at 1:10 wat is the thing that she does called? i forget. anyone kno?

[madtowngymelite]

@katya35 That would be an illusion turn

[gatorgirl5253]

@katya35 its an illusion turn:)

[xmelligothacked]

1:26<3

[livelaffluvgymnastix]

I feel kinda bad for chellsie. I think she deserves a lot more attention then she gets.

[jbandgymnastics]

too bad she hurt herself at the olympics :(

[LCAmarkymark]

@jbandgymnastics she could have been so great at the olympics..I mean she was strong a every event..she could have been all around gold easily

[bluelover112]

I love her routine, it's one of the best I've ever seen.

[gymbert13]

Love how she ends her tumbles!



[johan4klyo]

Temazo de Safri Duo

[314maddie]

This is AMAZING!

[toetouching]

corner to corner double full? every other pass was awesome. esp. the first.

[gemclumsyninja]

standing ovation woo!! she earned it!!

[Luv2Dream224]

this is AMAZING!!! she's WAY better than shawn johnson or nastia liuken!!!

[7MadisonAnn]

the olympics would have been so different had she been healthy. it makes me sad.

[crazynightsinparis]

There's a woman right beside Martha that is already clapping before chellsie finishes her first tumbling pass. :D Just so you know how the crowd loves her...

[gymnasticsgal24]

and they say that gymnastics isnt a sport...

[mortella23]

i am in love with this video

[miketennis19ny]

Oh what could have been...

[Ineedthat06]

best floor routine in the world!!!!

[gymnastagirl141009]

shes miles better than shawn!!! how doesnt she win everything! she has higher difficulty too!!!

[amigozz4l]

The crowd goes WILD, I wish it was more like that ... Sometimes they're yawning like 'Oh she just did a double back pike, whatever, *yawn*'

[Gillian9506]

OMG DAMN AWESOME. STICK ENDINGS :D

[TikiBoy382]

This gives me chills everytime I see this! This was such an AMAZING routine, she got the whole audience behind her, and everyone was cheering at her...I wish she would have been healthy during the Olympics, so we could have seen this routine there!

[maddimayhem15]

Her leo color is beautiful!

[Sprunchy1]

THAT WAS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[buggygym7]

her elevation is wow

[Indranichan]

PERFECT! 0:18 - ;OOOO

[skateata1]

wonderful!

[Ccgirl4]

I love how she comes out of the double layout so gracefully

[peacelaurenpeace739]

Is it just me or do Chealsea's and Bridget's feet look weird in their round off back handsprings?

[dahighbar]

She's coming back 2011-12 hopefully she can give us more moments like this love this routine, love this gymnast

[XpurplepeopleeaterXX]

P e r f e c t i o n. Not only did she have an amazing routine, perfect execution, entertaining music, and incredible gymnastics all the way through, but she got the crowd going! Even the judges rallied with everyone else, and gave her a standing ovation! B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. (:

[steelersboy2009]

SHE ROCKS!!!!

[randomsmilezzz]

leaps and double lay is so much better than day 1!!!!

[bbhouk1]

thank goodness the commentators didn't talk during the routine, they totally would have ruined it lol. it's pretty easy to ignore the pompous "chellsie memmel knows how to cap off an event" at the end

[zEmsterMBM]

gotta love the double pike!

[GymnasticsFan1144]

i think she would have made floor finals in Beijing if she wasnt injuried :/ Great routine though! :)

[TheMarieclaire13]

the music just makes the routine that much better!!!

[EIZvideos]

this was scary good!

[zhangshinyi]

it just occurred to me that she stuck her dismounts on fx, bb, and ub on this second day.... incredible.

[benrobinson77]

i LOVE how she knew she took off wrong on her 4th tumbling pass and decided to tone it down with just a double full, should that have been a triple? thats a ggreat talent to be able to think on ur toes like that under pressure

[chrislindsey14]

@benrobinson77 She always seems to take off early on it, but it was supposed to be a double

[xknight25]

love the fans clubs....haha

and chelsie...mwuah... the best!!!

[dangxmegan23]

incredible. she has the worst luck though. and shes the 3rd gymnast to ever do her first tumbling pass which

[MyXLastXTango]

could you imagine how Beijing could have turned out if Chellsie didn't get injured?

[Logansbl]

@MyXLastXTango In what part of the Olympics did she get injured? I haven't been able to find the answer. I mean, this girl looks like she would have given Liukin and Johnson a run for their money.

[vcrisfi]

@Logansbl She got injured about a week and a half before the games, I think.

[chinghxd]

@MyXLastXTango i think that to myself every time someone talks about the Beijing Olympics.....

[bananas1and2]

That was... incredible.

[cspoonapple]

this is my favorite routine ever. I love the standing ovation the judges gave her!

[gymnastxoxox]

that double pike was superduper cool

[MRdavenport2010]

@gymnastxoxox yesssss

[peepers2221]

This routine always gives me the chills how the crowd is constantly on her side, and how exciting everyone got, including bela and marta both jumped with joy!

[EIZvideos]

best floor routine, ever. that was perfect!

[gymnasticluver13]

Are you aloud to do a step back after landings?

[Butterfngrbart]

@gymnasticluver13 I believe you were allowed to take the "artistic" lunge back after landing in 2008. The stuck landing wasn't added to the code of points until 2009 I think. Can anyone verify?

[all4uanew]

@gymnasticluver13 Yes. during this code of points a female gymnast is "allowed a controlled step."

[bbhouk1]

chellsie+gymnastics+floor+chor­eo+music+last to perform+whole crowd watching=fantasic!

[mmhscheer11]

omfg if this wasn't considered as perfect? then i really don't know what gymnastics is anymore

[BlackSharpies]

what is the music called?

[ynajj]

OMG! Fantastic, amazing.

[x6xemilyx9x]

BEST ROUTINE EVER!

[Stonymypony]

When I was watching this I though she would for sure beat Liukin for the guaranteed spots in the olympics but when she came in third I was very disapointed. Don't get me wrong I love Nastia but I always felt like Chellsie was more consistent in all her events combined.

[dikaroxmysox]

im...speechless...

[ajdrewello]

She's always so solid. Love her!

[EIZvideos]

That was amazing!!!

[afgymnast96]

one thing that is super weird is that my aunt lives really close to where she lives, but she had never heard of her on the news or anything!

[musiclover4698]

That was the most amazing floor routine ever! I got shivers with the whole crowd screaming!!

[hockeygirl789]

she was so underscored for this. shawn made WAY more mistakes and got a 16.200? wtf???

[funky17620]

@hockeygirl789 Shawn had higher difficulty.....

[markoth97]

@hockeygirl789 Yeah, i feel the same way,but Chellsie's routine has SV of 6.2 so it would be really difficult for her to score that one,she would need perfect execution!

If she did her vault right that day,she would get that spot,no question!

i really hope that she would continue to 2012 like Sacramone,Liukin,and Johnson!

[mattiehenFTW]

It's a shame she couldn't rock this routine out at the games!

[bbhouk1]

chellsie memmel rocks my socks

[moondog1997]

I don't know what it is, but I always end up coming to this video for inspiration.

@moondog1997 ughhhh meeee too one of of my fav routines of all time haha i just love how the crowd goes wild at the end!
