2019 Tumbling World Championships (Female) 

yes me too because i do it and it would be so cool

Yes!

It is its part of gymnastics

They would take out artistic gymnastics though. It would be deemed to be too similar

@@MsJubjubbird nothing will ever replace artistic

Especially on the extra squishy final mat.

And to land such a hard landing and stick it just absolutely destroys the ankles. PS. That Russian looks like a giant compared to everyone else.

Most of them do manage to stick the landing though, albeit by stepping out

This was super fun to watch though. They get so high

well, they really aren't equally as difficult. I hate to burst your bubble here but all of the skills shown in this video have been done in gymnastics on the floor, which is less springy than the tumbling track, and gives less room for run up. Not only this, but floor is but one event of the 4(women) or 6(men) in the entire sport. Tumbling is almost all leg strength whereas gymnastics is arms, legs, core, back, chest, you name it. Gymnastics really is harder, sorry but it's true.

Well, I hate to hurt YOUR bubble, but the skills actually are equally as difficulty. Have have done both different types of gymnastics, and they are difficult. For artistic (what you’re talking about), they would never connect to back twisting skills to whips to double layouts into another few whips into a crazy twisting/double skill for the landing. STOP COMPARING TO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TYPES OF GYMNASTICS! That’s like comparing baseball to hockey. Just, no. You don’t know what you’re talking about so just shut your mouth.

@@inanutshell4426 yes!

@@inanutshell4426 Really? You really think that comparing these two very similar sports is like comparing baseball and hockey? Do you think it would be just as hard for an artistic gymnast to learn to punch out of a double layout as it would be for one of these gymnasts to get the sheer upper body and core strength needed to hold a multise on rings for 3 seconds? not to mention, in artistic gymnastics, there are people doing quad back fulls and triple back pikes, and triple doubles on the floor and sticking the landing, not to mention you've got people combining 2 and a half twisting skills to double flipping skills such as a back 2 1/2 x front double full x front 1 1/2? As well as combinations such as a back 2 1/2 x double front flip with a half twist. Plus, these types of gymnasts don't even do front tumbling!! Sure, you can't compare two sports like cornhole and basketball, but you can objectively say that one requires much more prep and is much more taxing on the body. To say that two things are not alike and therefore cannot be compared is just objectively wrong. Sorry not sorry.

@@led_einstein2832I mean I competed trampoline and tumbling for like a decade and think artistic is definitely way harder, but I think it is also ridiculous to pretend like male tumblers don't compete not only triple pikes, but full twisting triple pikes. Front tumbling skills are not a feasible competitive option for tumblers due to the momentum required to successfully do doubles in the middle of your pass, similarly to the way that it is not feasible for artistic gymnasts to do multiple doubles in the middle of their passes due to the length of the floor. They're different sports, get over it

it's not inferior, just not as hard.

@@led_einstein2832 WOW. Now as a tumbler and a trampolinist I find that very insulting. Both are very difficult, but one is not better than the other they are both equal

I also feel that simone biles is wayyyy too overrated

@@moose5546 no she’s not you’re just a hater

@@moose5546 stop hating. its embarrassing

👍👍👍

Yeah. It seems that a step out in an horrible thing like it can be in other events. As long as you stay on your feet, hands don’t hit the mat etc

@@ctfangirl I agreed. They should normalize more flexible elements in men's gymnastics and more strength elements in womans.

@@lliterallyluciaslps7121 well flexible would just going to hurt them even more, same with strength to women

yeah it makes it harder to land because of the power you need to make the actual tumble succeed

That's why they always put their hands up and put their landing leg back.

Ok I’ll explain. So basically it is very hard to stick the landing out of their passes but it is possible. You have to be very much in control then you have that possibility of sticking it

@@Shaw4Life no that isn’t what happens

@@charlottejacobs1824 true

Yes! I agree one hundred percent! These two gymnastics are very different and it takes a lot of training to switch from one to the other.

'Height was good' um height was INSANE

WHEEEEEEEZE I only read the book but DAMN!

Good observation. As for those who think it's more interesting to watch the men because they are (duh!) more powerful than the women, I am in awe of ANYONE who can throw herself/himself into the air, add and twists and sumis before landing and keep moving immediately to the next part of the tumbing run--and that goes for gymnasts too, whether it's on the balance beam or as part of a floor exercise. I was born in the late 50's and I never even learned to do a cartwheel!

@@tomillakockingbird1754 These skills takes a lot to learn. I can cartwheel and round off but that's about it. I wish the women have slowmo too. Maybe that's what was lacking, because most of the videos of men in tumbling had slowmos so we can actually see if they're keeping center and their aerial posture. These women are such power houses.

"the women are more fluid" What a dumb comment, women do so much easier routines ofc they seem "more fluid" because they're going so much slower and instead of triples they barely can land doubles lmao

@@Mistted What's wrong with saying that they are more fluid? Men and women do different techniques and are scored differently that's why they are separate events. Women are more fluid with easier routines, men are more powerful in their techniques. Don't make my comment anything more than it should be.

Men’s gravity center is in their chest which makes it 8 times easier for them to do flips

On the lower skills they are looking for technique and speed. Technique wise arms tight and straight legs feet together and toes pointed. On whips and handsprings they want low to the ground and the pass to get faster in speed as they go down the floor! The landing at the end with minimum bounce and stick. They also look for difficulty such as the higher skills and doubles with twisting for a higher starting score!

Bet you would have been amazing!x

Same

Probably some of the best athletes never got a chance to compete in the sport for the same reasons.

That's seriously sad that money keeps us from being able to do what we love

Artistic gymnastics uses several different apparatus, 4 for women and 6 for men. Tumbling is just that, 2 tumbling passes on a tumble track. Both women and men in gymnastics compete of the floor apparatus, they do similar tumbling on their as well as other skills besides tumbling. On floor the space to tumble is shorter and so the elements are most limited. It is harder to create amplitude and speed in such a short space and so the elements are slightly different. In tumbling there is more room for connections, height and harder landings. Both are about the presentation of the abilities and the difficulty of said abilities, there is just more variety in gymnastics because there are other things involved. I hope that clears it up I am by no means a guru on either sport but I think that's a good enough start.

This is gymnastics

Brem this is tumbling a different aspect of gymnastics.

@@trendymaths2467 That's what I said.

Brem yeah pretty much but by saying it’s gymnastics you weren’t being quite clear.

There are no rules for you hands touching the ground. It just depends on what skills you are doing.

@@TheKeepcarm ok, what a wonderfull sport. So much power and speed and strength. I almost can' t stop watching when i start.

Actually, they were doing harder skills than that. But that’s not the point, so: A man’s center of gravity is in their chest. A woman’s center of gravity is in their hips. Because of this, it is 8x easier for men to flip than women. Women have to use much more strength to make it all the way over. (This isn’t a feminist/anti-men comment. It’s really just science)

Biology.

KymUwO lol do you understand the speed that they’re going? nearly impossible to stick a landing

aliyah all I said was it was Unsatisfying.

There are plenty of other videos where people have stuck. If you don’t like this then you can watch others.

Trendy Maths don’t be that bitch, how would I “not like don’t watch” if I haven’t even seen the video yet? Make it make sense.

FINALLY someone actually points it out!! Literally anyone who's like "don't you understand how impossible that is with what they're doing" has NO true gymnastics experience. You don't get scored in competitions with the judges going "oh there's no way I could do that, good scores for everyone!" No, they count EVERYTHING, ESPECIALLY the landing, and they DON'T go easy on anyone or worry about hurting feelings or giving everyone some participation trophy. I mean the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP is basically as important as the Olympics in gymnastics during non-Olympic years, so I kind of expected some badass landings myself. Obviously the tumbling passes are nice, but I definitely expected way better landings as well for the World Championship. PS - Also literally anyone who says "if you don't like it, don't watch it" has no LIFE experience. You literally HAVE to watch something to know if you like it or not, and you have every right to post your true feelings when there are comment sections.

These tumbling runs are about three times as long...

Hey babe

It's hardly the same thing. Can"t you see how much longer the mat is for tumbling? That means several more elements than what are done during a floor routine.

And she's great, but they are all very good athletes

Fuck off two year old

Ya but it is so much bouncier and easier on trampoline so they do more stuff on it I think this is more impressive

Go watch the men's then. I'm not sure what your comment was supposed to accomplish.

not cotillionaire well these vids were recommended from when i was watching men’s events. And i thought i’d check these out, but honestly compared to the previous men’s vids these are just awful. So what i was hoping to accomplish is to point out the amateur feel of the women’s gymnastics compared to the men’s.

@@IRGhost0 But that's not a fair criticism to make. There's a reason they separate the sports by sex, the power needed to do these kinds of things is insane. These women are insanely strong and calling them amateurs and not as good as the men isn't fair to them. You can't compare the two. You may prefer to watch the men because it looks visually stunning and mind-blowing. I can agree that on an entertainment level men's tumbling is more enjoyable for me. But to say "these are just awful" and "amateur-feel" is to suggest the women aren't as good as the men or aren't doing the same level difficulty. The way the sport works is skills are given difficulty ratings, each skill has a different value in mens tumbling and women's tumbling. Why? Because, for a man, this tumbling is easier than it would be for a woman to do. They are doing things that are equally as difficult, but it just so happens the men look more impressive as a result, particularly in comparison. You don't compare the size of a trout to the size of a tuna fish, you compare it to other trout because that's fair. I get what you were trying to say but it's really mean to frankly treat these female athletes with such disrespect.

Lord Coe well I’m comparing it in terms of the best in the sport itself. So I’m looking at everyone together and seeing who can do it the best. The contrast between the men and women in terms of skill level, speed, height, etc was pretty strong.

You are right

you’re an idiot

@@bellakrueger8040 😜

They don't do this many elements in a row and they have springs in the floor for artistic gymnastics.

@@joyfuljaj but this is a literal rod floor, those are so much bouncier

@@TheKeepcarm so… what? Would you mind elaborating?

Artistic gymnasts barely tumble at all. They don't do as many combinations as tumblers

@@narbaodecuas7003 actually, its very similar to the floor that artistic gymnasts use (coming from a tumbler and an ex-artistic gymnast)

Very constructive thank you for the input

AleemAppleCider Ew?

It would actually take a lot of training to switch over from one to the other. Simone is trained to do three short difficult passes. These gymnasts are trained to do two much longer passes. Just like these gymnasts can’t do what Simone does, Simone can’t do what these gymnasts do.
