Anna Li gets high score on Uneven Bars - from Universal Sports

[yashwi1708]

i don't think i can do that :(

[fjn219]

She must be a huge fan of Khorkina.

[indysk8r32]

One of the prettiest leos I've seen! She is awesome!!

[supergymnaststar]

she is beautiful and has a beautiful routine

[TheLadygagasm]

@supergymnaststar she is not beautiful and she is too heavy for the uneven bars

[supergymnaststar]

@TheLadygagasm shes not at all heavy and everybody has their own opinions so... bug off

[noelrocks4eva]

@TheLadygagasm HEAVY? Your an idiot. She's not heavy at all and she did an amazing routine. Nor is she ugly

[cwgymnast1]

im so tired of these commentators they hardly say anything good

[RizReyes]

Wish she threw her reverse-hecht/Tkachev.

[SuperEr17]

i can already do a lot of that!!

[CassidyMcComb2010]

@SuperEr17

oh yeah i just looked at your channel and you can't even do a proper round off double back handspring i wouldn't be talking missy

[SuperEr17]

@CassidyMcComb2010

thanks for the comment i'll try to fix that

[SuperEr17]

@CassidyMcComb2010

the only reason i said that was because the only event i'm good at is bars.

[SuperEr17]

@CassidyMcComb2010

plus, i'm only 7

[CassidyMcComb2010]

@SuperEr17

ok now i see

[watercoloursgrey]

@SuperEr17 You're only 7 and you're on the Internet? Good Merlin.

[bulik12]

@watercoloursgrey nowdays kids start moving the iphone screen when they are less that 1 years old and they know computers before they learn to stand...hahaha

[watercoloursgrey]

@bulik12 It's terrifying, really.

[hotnomatterwhat]

it's nice to see wu jiani's daughter doing a khorkina, pak and chusovitina :)

[PhenixJoe]

Sorry but the spitting on the hands is gross...they have spray bottles for that.

[gymnastjaiderz]

Haha pause at 0:05

[LoveGym96]

Why didn't she compete on bars in Tokyo? She was the alternate and after Alicia's injury I thought she would have competed instead of Jordyn or Sabrina on bars in TF

[europatiger12]

@LoveGym96 why instead of jordyn? jordyn made UB finals...

[LoveGym96]

@europatiger12 Instead of Jordyn or Sabrina, beacause Anna is a specialist and was chosen for bars and they didn' t use her..

[Gymnastics2145]

@LoveGym96 My guess is so that Alicia could accept the Gold medal in team.

[KaKaGaNu]

go anally!!! ooops,go anna li

[Ewout12345]

I'm sick of Tim calling every transition to high bar with a half turn a Khorkina. This is a Van Leeuwen!

[o0MelancholyHill0o]

thats so legit, i wish i could do that.

[aduhux]

how can u compare THIS...with Nadia Comaneci or Lavinia Milosevici?! crasy

[ythnkupollyprsypnts]

@aduhux

Nobody ever has...what a bizarre comment. Those two athletes competed in different generations and each competed with a very different code of points.

[53Playmate]

I really like her bar routine. I hope she is one the Olympic team

[oldaardvark]

No Sacramone, no Li, just gold.

[dreamershavemorefun]

I think for the Team Anna bring not only a leadership role but strong bars and Vault Sacramone gives the team not only experience but fabulous floor and Vault work The USA in order to factor needs to be consistent and also needs to hit on the beam without Shawn, they have no strong beam workers

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@dreamershavemorefun I wouldn't say that. When Sacramone, Raisman, and Wieber all hit on beam, they can be about as good as Shawn. Not as good, but maybe .2 or .3 away. And I don't think Li brings too much leadership because she's never competed internationally before.

[ChainChomp2]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 What do you think about her being the team alternate? What else can Marta ruin? Maybe their chances at gold now...

Shame, because she was the only gymnast I was excited about out of the entire team.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@ChainChomp2 Are you kidding me... Ugh. It should've been Vega (as much as I love her floor). Seriously! Where is Marta planning on using Vega!? I was so hoping for a bars medal for Li.

[dreamershavemorefun]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 What i meant by leadership was from her Collegiate Carrer at UCLA Li was a leader in her final season leading them to the championship i think that leadership eperience will help her with the team as they head to the worlds. What I meant by the beam issue was that Without Nastia and with Alica's past inconsistencies i don't know how much of a chance they have but that's my opinion

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@dreamershavemorefun Well Alicia's a bit out of the question now... And Nastia wouldn't be as useful on beam this CoP. Her "hesitations" during connections are much too long. And Li's leadership was a bit different. For collegiate, it's all "get it girl!" and sometimes the US at worlds is like "c'mon Nas!", but for the most part, it's much more dramatic and official internationally.

[ChainChomp2]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 I saw USAG's facebook post only a few minutes ago on her, I guess they're really out the window now :(...I hope for the best for A-Sac!

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@ChainChomp2 I think Romania has a good shot. They qualified with 227 and I believe last year the Russians had 234. The Russians look messy this year (they did at worlds last year though too in podium training). The US will lack confidence and difficulty without Alicia. Haidu surprisingly did excellently in qualifications.

[Therosebud99]

anna li is really good!!!!

[msms68]

she made the world team

[gymlover612]

@bernardmvella where can i find the roster for workds as of now ?

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@gymlover612 The unofficial team is Wieber, Raisman, Sacramone, Maroney, Macko Caquatto and Li. Although, the final selection camp is this coming week.

[gymlover612]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 thank you!!! in the final selection i hope johnson makes it!!!!! but as for that team i think it seems like a pretty good selection if you ask me!

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@gymlover612 I heard Johnson won beam at the most recent selection camp =D!

[gymlover612]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 yay! :) hope she makes it!!

[Yuri92001]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 YAY that's what I heard as well. SO excited that Anna might get a spot on the team :) They knew they needed a good bar worker and even though she technically didn't originally get on the national team, her great bar set may save her :)

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@Yuri92001 Yes, it will! She really doesn't need to train any other events although beam might help her chances a bit. Can't wait to hear what team they select tonight!!!!

[agators212]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 hey, what do you think of anna li added a tkachev to her hop full? would that add to her D score if she keeps the double layout since she has better form and more consistancy with that compared to the loyout full?

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@agators212 That would add connection bonus but I don't think she'd be able to connect the Tkachev to her Shushunova haha. And she shouldn't be trying the double layout 1/1. Her double layout is beautiful as is.

[agators212]

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 haha i didn't mean connect the shushunova to the tkachev but the hop full turn like how shannon miller use to do if im not mistaken. but i do agree her double layout is beautiful as it is

[CopGymnast861]

@gymlover612 officially, its Wieber, Raisman, Sacramone, Maroney, Vega, And Li -> shawn johnson was the alternate :(

-> personally i think shawn deserved the spot over vega :/

[gymlover612]

@CopGymnast861 Awww! Well i hope usa does well anyways! Yeah.... I think Vega has a good shot. Shawn still has other chances...

[liukin95]

@CopGymnast861 Hang on, Gabrielle Douglas is on the team, the alternate will be announced after podium training in Tokyo, Shawn is the non-travelling alternate.

[LCAmarkymark]

@CopGymnast861 Shawn just needs more time..she did great to get this far no doubt but I guess they saw that Vega was a little more polished and ready...I don't know about you but Pan Am will be great as well

[gymlover612]

@bernarmvella where can i find e roster for worlds as of now?

[bernardmvella]

She got named to the team going to worlds today... Of course it could change very easily but I hope not, really excited to see Anna at worlds.

[djmbjork]

@bernardmvella well, her name was submitted on the provisional team roster (which almost always changes) because the US had to submit a team. the exact team should be named later this month.

[bernardmvella]

@djmbjork Yeah I'm pretty sure it'll change... I really want to see her there though...

[mimp4l1]

i thought that transition was called a Van Leeuwen not a Khorkina..could be wrong though

[lovepandas]

@mimp4l1 Khorkina is a straddled stalder through to the transition part, Komova is a piked stalder through to the transition thing. So I guess the NBC commentators got it wrong yet again, since this is a toe-on xD

[TsubasaDreams]

@mimp4l1 @lovepandas A Khorkina is a Shaposhnikova with a half twist and is from the regular clear hip circle entry. A Van Leeuwen is a Khorkina from a toe-on, a Komova is a Khorkina from an in-bar stalder and the Khorkina from a stalder is not named after anyone. Technically the NBC commentators should have called it a Van Leeuwen but many just use the generic term Khorkina for all the Shaposh halfs. Kind of like how people use Tsukahara as a generic term for all full-twisting double saltos

[ChainChomp2]

To be honest, this is one of the very few routines I was really excited about at nationals, it's creative, difficult, with lots of original elements, just hopes she puts it all together and it's up there with the rest of the world in a more legit manner!

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

I didn't know she won! I'm so glad! She's the best!

[GymnasticsFan1144]

She's amazing! :)
