Samantha Peszek - Floor Exercise - 2009 Visa Championships - Women - Day 1

[happyari13]

she definitely had enough height to do a full-in double layout.

[ffalcons102]

i love sam and i love this routine, but she really needs to find a more interesting song choice for her floor music.

[happyari13]

in the movie stick it they deducted .5 just because her bra strap was showing while she was flipping. weird code of points. judges are picky picky picky!

[ParanoidAndroidDA]

@MrAerial12345 They only deduct if the bra strap is a different colour than the leotard e.g. a black bra under a really pale leotard.

[gymnasticsgirl818]

she looks a lot like a girl in make it or break it! they said they ues real gymnasts for stunt doubles, i wonder if she was one

[Daisy0998]

She's all tanned except her knees and a bit below.. how does that work? ;)

[lizmcdofficial]

@Daisy0998 its notthat its because she has chalk on them

[gemclumsyninja]

@MrAerial12345 I agree that the judges are picky, and the examples you have are definitely something. There's even a rule that says you can't pick a wedgie! At the same time, i think they are trying to maintain what gymnastics used to be- ballet is like this too, they are very picky on things that don't actually affect the athlete-i.e. hair, makeup and costuming.

[MissDelgado75]

Je l'adore je prend exemple sur elle quand je fait mes compèt!

[TurnstertuhIris]

I like her skills but now she has to work on choreo. I think she could get so much more out of that/

[bikkutoria98]

They make it look like there's alot of spring in that floor!! =D!!! Lolz!!! =D!!!

[XxSportyMusicGirlxX]

I know this is random but I really love the leo she's wearing...

[Sassiiification]

i really miss her double double :( but she's just awesome !! love her style

[toomuchgoingon]

omg the commentators shut up during the routine for once...thank the heavens!!!!! :)

[randomfan247]

this was really good but i think she is capable of sticking her tumbling passes well at least some of them like her double tuck and the double pike...just my opinion :)

[rsmistletoe3]

she has such a beautiful smile! and i really love her style

[Rosebud723]

She needs to learn how to point her toes.

[co123445666]

i liked her old music better

[luv2flip48]

if you notice she has 2 earrings in one ear. you arent allowed to compete with 2 earrings in....please no one comment on this saying bad things...im just pointing it out

[fnrsgrl]

@luv2flip48 This is a national competition, so it's not necessarily required to conform to all of the FIG's rules.

[LCAmarkymark]

@fnrsgrl what was missing? I thought she had everything for the 2009 code

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@LCAmarkymark The comment fnrsgrl responded to said that Peszek had two earrings in which you aren't allowed to wear in competition. Studs are acceptable but she has some on the upper rim of her ear.

[334musiclover]

she;s so pretty i love her big eyes they r sooooo pretty!!

[shawntaylorcassidy]

what is she doing these days? is she doing college gymnastics?

[KVHolland3]

She probably has the best choreography (effort and with the music) now choreography for the US team is a couple of arm gestures...

[afgymnast96]

she really improved her dance! i wish she was still doing elite

[bbhouk1]

i am in LOVE with sam's opening pass! i know it's easier than her double double, but it looks so much better! (not that sam's double double wasnt great but i prefer not to push the limits) And double arabians are my favorite tumbling pass, so I am just in LOVE with this routine!

P.S. Sam looks so pretty here!

[viaroxyxx11]

hahaha dubblebubble898!

[theigagymnast]

well her double layout was kinda low. and she set at an angle

[dubblebubble898]

hahah, the yellow shirt guy at 1:20-1:26 :)

[TheJordy456]

i miss when she did her double double!

[chinghxd]

@TheJordy456 me to! but I think the double layout has the same score....i think. Well that's what Shawn's doing; since she hurt her knee and isn't doing the double double on floor anymore.

[TheJordy456]

@chinghxd hahah yeah thats sad that Shawn isnt doing it anymore. But a double double is a G level skill while a double layout it an F so she would have gotten a tenth more in difficulty had she stuck with the DD here. ;)

[cwgcGymnast]

her double pike is hugeeee = AWSOME!

[LovepuppiesLV1]

y does she put chalk on her knees???

[liukin95]

@LovepuppiesLV1 so when she grabs her legs in a tumble her hands won't slip off her knees

[TheJordy456]

@liukin95 omg that makes so much sense haha

[itstheapocalypse]

I think "Forever" by Chris Brown would be a good fit for a future floor routine for her.

[R34lH0pe]

I love her double layout! and her body is beautiful!

[13shifter]

great double lay !!!! :)

[jeffdunhamfan22]

Whats this song

[chocolatefan1711]

why didn't she go to worlds????

[jeyzi]

@chocolatefan1711 She dropped out of the selection process, but I don't think she would have been selected anyways.

[lilsimmania]

@chocolatefan1711 She dropped out and opted for shoulder surgery so that she would be prepared for UCLA.

[jeffdunhamfan22]

i love her floor music

[figureskater2004]

she is soo pretty!

[jeffdunhamfan22]

i don't get it doesn't she get deducted for not having a twisting tumble run?

[randomness132]

@jeffdunhamfan22

0:25 is a twist i believe....

but i get what you mean

I'm not sure if thats counted as a twisting tumble run or if you get deducted for it or not

[gymnasticsfreak1989]

the first pass counts cuz it has a twist but im so impressed that routine is almost completely different choreography from 08 love her

[bbtalk27]

She's so good! For some reason she reminds me of Lauren Tanner from Make It or Break It. I'm sure she's not as mean as her though :).

[MisanthropistPro]

@bbtalk27 Pfft. That's disgracing Sam. That show makes me mad. They need MORE gymnastics.. maybe not have 5 second beam routines.

[Tabithalovesvamps]

Haha I was thinking that too! :)

[MisanthropistPro]

Does each judge have a specific thing they look for to deduct? or do they all take off everything and average the individual scores they add up? I don't know too much about the judging aspect.

[MRdavenport2010]

A HOT MESS!!!

[Gymnast4life92]

Isn't this Ivana Hong's old floor music?

[CherryCherry752]

ya i think so

[nikirififo]

No way

[CherryCherry752]

really

[Neocola125]

NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[FLACSC74]

no Ivana did not use this

[gymnast4life86]

What happened to her double double?? Great routine though!

[itstheapocalypse]

Best I've seen Sam on floor.

[nikirififo]

I dislike her double layout, it's underrotated, she should switch back to the 2½ punch front full

[LuvGymnastix]

Wow look at her legs she so packed with muscle!!!!!!!!

[sampeszekfan]

so sad shes not going to worlds this year :(

[saichoutmg]

how do u know that ? did somethin happened to her?

[Tracey424]

she has a torn labrum.. she had to decide whether to stay in the selection and compete with it torn or get the surgery now and let it heal.. she decided to get the surgery.

[ogrunner4lyfe]

i think she'll do the 1 and a half into double arabian, keep the double layout, then a piked or tucked full in, and end with a double pike.

but i wouldn't mind her doing a 2 and a half into a full somewhere in the mix.

[tumblechic95]

i love her new music

shes reallyyyyy good :)

[Jimas66]

best looking gymnast.

[WhirlLugia]

I sort of wished she still had her double twisting double back. it really prooved she was a really good tumbler. Now it doesnt look that good =/

[sadex1994]

why she has a new routine the old one was great but this routine is awesome the first pass could be better :) nice^^

[Gr33nkiwi]

She got a new one because she couldn't really dance in with the old one and now dancing is HUGE on floor.

[GymCampos27]

SHe still does not dance lol

[AMA1235410]

Sam is looking fantastic, just needs a little more extension and split in the jumps and I think she will make the worlds team.

What are peopels thoughts and what the first tumble will be upgraded to?

[481095ymg2]

well, at a dance thru before the classic she finished her first jogging pass facing forward, and her third jogging pass facing backwards, so we can assume she'll at least put her arabian after her 1 1/2, and put a double tuck as her third pass, which would get her another tenth of a point. then maybe if she changes her double pike to a full in then she would get another tenth, because i think she has enough excess power at the end.

[keego666]

Love this routine, shes improved alot, Does anyone know what song her music at 1:00 is taken from? It sounds like either Cirque or Gotan project

[RinceGaelic]

That's one cool song!

[MisanthropistPro]

It's funny to watch the people in the back ground. You start to notice those things when you've seen the video 20 times.

[MissAwesomelyawesome]

that was a nice rountine!

[kevinlongwood]

i thinkt that sam has improved on floor since last year. obviously, he difficult decreased, but he is more cleaner and lighter than she was last year

[catgirl475]

first one
