Koko Tsurumi - Olympics Events Finals Balance Beam 2008 Beijing NBC

[PhenixJoe]

Hate hate HATE Tim! His tone and word choice are beyond irritating. Listen to the elation in his voice when Koko messes up the Switch Ring and falls...disgusting!

[bestorigultom]

Who is Koko Tsurumi??

[abrahamnextel]

0:09 maybe the best and most beatiful Onodi I saw in those olympics

[AsAtoswitch]

how old is she?

[Tesuz11]

I find it quite horrible how at the start she has a little wobble and then suddenly Tim says "that right their guarantees the USA to have a gold and silver on balance beam". She may have had a wobble but it doesn't mean she cant get a silver or gold, honestly Tim, that just makes me wanna punch u in the balls, well they'll be too high up because hes got such a high voice!!

[Allynonymous]

I honestly wanna punch those commentators in the face.

[ReaLaraCroftDub]

@MrAerial12345 and what your poor computer has to do with the the commentators?? o.o :(

[KrhystalZz]

I hate the ignorant commentators...

[somebody050505]

If I hear the words "that right there" one more time, I'm going to lose it. Tim Daggett is such a disgrace.

[hmrhuang]

If this was figure skating, we still wouldn't know who would win...

[msms68]

i hope she medals on beam at this years worlds cuz they are in japan...i think she will either choke under the pressure or do perfect

[ParanoidAndroidDA]

I don't care if she fell off, she should have had a medal for that stunning leotard. I liked her routine, it was very pretty.

[ninjaaspring]

Sorry youtube overposted my comments.

[MysticTaiwan2025]

The American commentators are trash here. can they not focus on the gymnast here and not jsut go on about how good their gymnasts are? They seem to mock the fact that she wobbled. Correction they DID and it is disgusting. Rude and extremely lacking in sportsmanship

[sstthh1]

@MysticTaiwan2025 the commentators were being really nice to koko and said she had a great olympics and was beautiful on balance beam. Also they were just telling the truth, when she wobbled it did mean that shawn would get the gold, some viewers might now know that, it's their job. I think koko is a beautiful gymnast but the nbc commentators were just doing their job. just sayin...........don't hate.

[med20ful]

Come on people I am so sick of the only thing being talked about on these videos is how bad NBC is Did anyone ever have the genius thought that maybe they're are a little partial to americans because they are americans. Commentors from other countries are exactly the same so knock it off it's so annoying

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@med20ful No, haha. The BBC commentators are nice to gymnasts from other countries.

[ninjaaspring]

@med20ful I do agree with you that this topic is overdone (and sometimes dramatized) but they seriously need to be more professional and respectful, ESPECIALLY in international events like the Olympics. I mean, it can't be a coincidence that so many people have problems with their commentary.

[tomsk14]

@ninjaaspring Its overdone because its been going on for years I watch the same routines on my television with BBC coverage, I watch it back on youtube its NBC coverage and I just cannot believe the behaviour they are allowed to get away with. They never inform or educate the watchers other than the over keen and bullish idiotic rubbish about their own athletes the entire way through other nations routines. SOMEONE FROM NBC = LISTEN TO WHAT WE ARE ALL SAYING AND ACT!!

[pinesolparrot]

i love how the announcer is laughing " but not having the performance obviously" lol ..rude

[msms68]

why would nbc go to shawn after koko fell did they think shawn would be doing back flips of joy or something focus on koko

[MadeleinePhillips666]

If I watched right, Shawn was sad with Tsurumi's fall...and cheer for her, to do a good dismount! Oh my Gosh, Shawn...that's was incredible cute! This is THE Olympic Spirit! NBC coverage should learn something with you.

[gymnastagirl141009]

@peachvampire94 YES !!!!!!! Thank you!!

[JohnYiMusic]

her onodi is just stunning.

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

Aww, poor Koko. Her first side somi wasn't really piked. It was practically laid out from this view. It should be called the Tsurumi.

[storm4life86]

the poor girl :/

[TheAviator8289]

Despite the errors, she is gorgeous on beam.

[KVHolland3]

Wow NBC is the most disgusting Olympic coverage in the history of the Olympics.

[96horseluvr]

@KVHolland3 shut up

[KVHolland3]

@96horseluvr Your just a bundle of joy aren't you...I love NBC outside of gymnastics sports coverage as much as the next guy. I could go off on how saying shut up is just plain immature, but your comment isn't even worth anymore of my time.

[msms68]

well at least shawn wasnt happy about her fall she semmed a little bit concerned cause she probably knows how she feels making a mistake like that

[PoorPublicSchoolKid]

I love her front walkover, and onodi

[beautifulgymnastics]

Her onodi and side somi is sooooooooo beautifully executed.

[msms68]

you can tell that shawn wasnt like happy that she fell so the medal was hers you could tell that she kind of felt bad because in 2007 beam event she fell off 2 times

[afnanp]

I LOVE SHAWN

[javajunkie6]

what does that have to do with this routine?

Koko is a totally different gymnast. For one, she can actually hit full splits.

It was incredibly disrespectful of NBC to zoom in on Shawn here as well... It reminds me of Pavlova's 2004 floor when all they could talk about was Carly Patterson, even though that floor routine was better than anything Carly ever did.

[markedexclusive]

@javajunkie6 NBC? They didn't tape this..the Beijing Olympic Broadcast did. NBC just bought the rights. The commentary is another story lol.

[javajunkie6]

@markedexclusive actually, no idea how this happened but BBC didn't show shawn.

[96horseluvr]

@javajunkie6 shut up. would u like him to say that koko still has a shot of winning, even with a huge balance check, when the americans had none?

[BrennanPatrick14]

Do you happen to have any more of her beam routines?

[BrennanPatrick14]

I've been looking for her other beam routine.Thanks for posting!
