To Mr #1GYM FAN I would like to thank you for your hard work all season long and giving us the enjoyment of watching almost if not every college women’s gymnastics event this year. I know we had 2 events last night and the finals tomorrow Saturday the 20th so we are at the end and you did a great job. Thank you again and hopefully next season you will be back. Now off to continue watching women’s college softball which is also getting close to playoff’s. Anyway thank you
Honestly DEVASTATING to watch OU today whether you are a fan or not. What a terrible moment to have an off day but it happens to everybody at some point. Truly just goes to show these girls are human
Yeh this was insane to watch in person.. and their emotions were harder to watch.. I’m a Florida and UCLA FAN but I 1000% respect OU’s gymnastics and they deserve to be in that final.. no one does cleaner gymnastics as a team than they do.
Actually this made me like them a little bit more as it makes them look more human. They always come across as gymnastics robots ready to terminate everybody.
@@tomdemay6147 Agreed. The whole point of a playoff system is that the champion is not necessarily the best team over the course of the season; they are the best team on the day.
Love all that you do for the entire Women’s Gymnastics Community! Last night was one of the biggest upsets in our sport. As we have always said the only way this can lose is if they beat themselves. Last night that happened. We will have a brand new champion in 2024! In a word, Refreshing!
- As a UCLA fan seeing Selena made me so happy. She deserves to be here so much! 💛💙 - Myia Hambrick really did her damn thing with those Utah floor routines wow. LOVED Myia at LSU so I wish her all the success in her coaching career. - If the beam was moving before OU, then Alabama's falls? Whats going on?! - 1:09:16 John, Utah literally had a fall on floor. This man loves drama 🙄 - I will *_never_* forget that senior class from Michigan. Gabby and Sierra are such legends. That whole NCAA winning team really deserve big recognition. - SOOO HAPPY FOR FLORIDA OMFG!! - Okay so LSU this is LITERALLY your chance
@@paullyreneeaww thank you dear. I'm from the UK so gymnastics is getting big here, but not huge. So I got really invested in NCAA gymnastics as an outlet 😂
I was wondering about the beam as well! I thought for sure somebody would mention that maybe, if there was an instability, that was part of why Alabama had four falls. I’m surprised Alabama’s coach didn’t say something. Regarding John‘s commentary: it’s only very recently that he’s been obsessing about scores and almost relishing the drama. Used to be one of my favourites right up there with Bart Conner. Aly did remarkably well considering this is only what, her third ever commentating job? She did the season opener at LSU and I believe the meet Michigan at Oklahoma.
Honestly I’m so surprised OU fell apart like this. But this finals will be the best in a long time FOR SURE. #2, #3, #4 & #5 competing for the crown! LETS GO TIGS!!!
I always wanted OU to be knock out for natyy but not them being out in the top 4. This just show even the best tram falls sometimes it's anyone's game and I'm rooting for the underdogs.
I'm still traumatized 6+ hours later. To go from the shock, awe, and excitement of likely having a new National champion to my favorite team promptly melting down and not being eligible for the Final was absolutely horrifying to witness.
Yes, was actually rooting for OU/FL tie!!😢 It really just rammed it home that they're (OU)just human!! Just crushing, but the teams that pulled it out of the fire-----WOW
The sooners, i am just devastated for them all, specially kat. She is littetaly a beam goddess. Her body lines are litteraly gift of god. Like ally said and im so glad shecsaid that. I have to say that any mistakes are just that mistakes it will NEVER TAKE AWAY the gorgeous, STUNNING gymnastics they have given us all year. You cant win them all but you can compete with grace, style and integrity everytime. And they did. They never knew how to come back from falls because they never fell before!!! In shock but i guess it is LSUs year
@@layray210 yes it absolutely is! And they really didn’t have any. Usually it happens at least once a season and I don’t remember them having any this year. I remember LSU and others having their bad meet and I really couldn’t believe their coach was messing with the beam during their warm up taking valuable time after vault. They had a good bar set and then a meltdown again on beam. Even their coach KJ got in on the ‘character building’.
just so you know LSU doesnt have paid home judges in the finals os they aint going anywhere :) theyll make some fire tiktoks for dunne tho after all thats all those white bimbos care about right? racism, orange tan and tiktok?
Watching this will be so sad due to being a massive OU fan, but proud of what they have done this season. Thank you so much for always bringing us these videos, appreciate it!
So. I have a few things to say about these 4 Bama gymnasts. Starting with Makarri Doggette. A legacy she has formed, a team leader, and a role model to this team. Even with a torn achilles she still was rooting for everyone. Makarri is so sweet and is a very talented gymnast. Luisa Blanco. Gosh, her beam form is so pretty. And her All Around status overall, is one of the best in the country. She is a gorgeous gymnast, and will have a great future at the olympics for Colombia. Ella Burgess, her fun, personality that she shows on floor is amazing. Her personality is bubbly and fun. I love how she never quits smiling even after mistakes, she is smiling. Mati Waligora, great gymnast. Very beautiful, swift, bar swinger. I just love her floor routine and her personality. She is so determined. All of these women are amazing, and have done great things in the last few years of Alabama gymnastics. They surely will be missed as they pursue their future.
Utah scoring is always so suspicious to me, but to be fair they have really gorgeous presentation. But at the same time some scores are often times inflated.
OU have been leading by so much all season, they’ve barely made mistakes. Which means when mistakes happened, they melted down. They have had no practice at coming back or digging themselves out of a hole. The final is wide open and this has made it so much more exciting than assuming OU would just win by default.
Thank you doesn’t seem enough #1 Gym Fan. I appreciate your dedication and hard work. If it weren’t for you I wouldn’t be able to watch my fav sport from 🇨🇦. You’re awesomeness. ❤️❤️
Ok…like I love Aly, but does anyone else feel like she’s commentating to much for every single routine? I almost can’t enjoy the routine as much, especially on floor. Idk, it’s probably just me!
I feel like OU threw it on purpose 🤷🏾♀️ it's just no expression over how they preformed on Vault. And then they underscore FL. The whole night. I'm tired of the judges and their favoritism subjective BS!!
my jaw is on the floor mid-second rotation....... this is insane but also wanted to say i dont know what it is but grace mccallum's floor routine is so captivating, i just love the music and her choreo sm. jaylene's too !!!
It's all LSU, they were as good as OU was all season long. LSU got a dream team this season. Even if OU made it through I think LSU could have beat them too.
Why did OU try so hard to stick their vaults after Faith went down? There is something more to the story there in my book. Anyway, with the shock of all shocks.... Now we can all root for another great team. Good luck to all of them.
@@kreyna15 I wonder if they spent the last two weeks tweeking their vault technique? Like, the coaches told them to open up a second earlier or something.... and just screwed up their normal technique? I mean, their three top vaulters all made the same mistake. Kind of uncanny. I just feel for them, it was unnatural.
It’s sad to see OU go down like that but you know what they say the bigger they are the harder they fall, but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again this is FINALLY LSU’s year!!
This is not true. The vault she does (and not especially well hence her getting a 9.9375 for the best she can possibly do it) is a Podkopayeva, valued out of a 4.2 in the 2022 WAG elite COP. Several gymnasts, such as Johnson and Carey, perform a double twisting Yurchenko (or Baitova), valued out of a 5.0 in the same Code. As far as Level 10/NCAA goes, I believe a 10.0 vault is a 10.0 vault. They aren't ranked in terms of difficulty.
Actually, Jade Carey had the most difficult vault performed in the semifinals. Both Leeann and Jade had 10.0 start values but Jade's is technically more difficult and the commentators also stated this.
Leanne’s vault is not great. There’s no power, chest always down, no height. I can’t believe it scores that high honestly. Look at hers then Haleigh Bryant…. The amplitude is just not there
Are you really surprised though????? John literally said OU was in and this was going to be 3 teams fighting for number 1 So they built all these OU packages assuming their narrative.
sorry not sorry oklahoma fans but i am seriously so happy we get to see other teams in the nattys. for me, the world won yesterday and all due to their vault. mind you, all of them going for sticks.
LSU THIS IS YOUR CHANCE OMFG. Honestly as a neutral fan in this final I cannot wait! So excited. Florida have my heart though. LSU I do like, but I do love an underdog 😂
I was literally thinking the same thing yesterday asking myself "is Florida the underdog" this season? I feel like most people are already counting them out😢.
@@mimin6115 But they were so good in their regional final. They put together a full meet! I also love that they were really quite bad at the start of the season and now they're in the final four
Yeah and then Oklahoma came up on beam and they pointed out that the beam was moving. They ripped up the mats and had to repair it. AFTER Bama was on beam and had all those falls. I don’t know too much about gymnastics, I just love watching, but isn’t it possible that the beam wobbling was what caused Alabama to have all those falls?
I dont think there's something wronv with the vault OU coaches check it before they use it i mean Florida came vaulting after OU and there is no problem with them theh even stick most of their vault.
During OU's vault capitulation, one of the commentators is talking about their performance being 'heartbreaking' and lamenting an apparent inability to cope with the pressure. Well, this is OU...so shouldn't they be accustomed to this 'pressure' by now? All respect to the Sooner athletes, but Florida and Utah showed the importance of mentally ignoring what's going on around you (including the ranking/status of the opposition), and focusing on what you have to do in the moment.
OU I haven't seen a collapse like that since the Philadelphia Eagles!(I'm an eagles fan) Can I just say this year's postseason has had Olympic levels of nail-biting thrills?
Thank you once again for another amazing season and everything you do.. any chance there was an awards ceremony after this event?? For individual awards they usually do every year but I can’t find it on the ESPN app
Can’t believe I saw this as it was happening and live tweeting…. The most insane experience honestly. Never been an OU fan & don’t know I’ll ever be but I was completely shocked and actually wanted them to go through. Just crazy. They could have made it if they got beam. Also Bama, wow.
Thanks to this channel!! I have a crush on you, ##1gymfan. I would prefer if Utah or Florida won the whole enchilada tonight but regardless, how exciting!!
I think Bama saw what was happening to OU and it went off the rails from there. Have to drown out the noise & stay super focused when stuff like that happens
I just knew we were about to see a Bama redo- but I guess inspection of equipment … idk… whatever I was going to say doesn’t make sense, just like Bama not getting a redo- but if they did, then maybe everyone who already competed on beam would have to be given the option also 🤷🏽♀️
@@atypicaltiffany But Utah, had a 49.6375 rotation so I didn't think much of it. I don't know what happened. Lilly Hudson led off with a 9.9 so I didn't think anything of it. But then, Alabama gets 4 falls. I really feel that if Alabama found something wrong during the rotation, they would've allowed a redo for the people that fell. But because OU found it, they didn’t give redos. In my opinion, BS.
@@masonlovesroblox I agree… if the saw it they would’ve called it out. But watch LB… that beam WAS moving. It could’ve shifted a mat after Bamas first fall or something. But, I agree… the rotations b4 them were good. This meet was just the MOST unexpected events. I am DEFINITELY entertained!
I'm like 4 routines in and have to comment!! What is happening OU? My gosh it's like they have got all tense? Is their something wrong with the vault?? WTH 🤦♀️ 😮
It was completely fine during the afternoon session as well as the pre meet warm up period and their 2 minute touch period (as well as every other team in this session being fine on vault). The issue with vault for them was their own doing unfortunately as teams are responsible for setting and moving the apparatus for their own athletes throughout the meet
35:50-35:59 For a non-gymnastics viewer, that is d e f i n i t e l y putting things into perspective And those fatal words: "Teams don't come back from that"
I'm actually shocked that I was wrong about Oklahoma would win this again, not hating on Oklahoma just wanted a different team to win. I feel like Florida might win this one as they came in 2nd twice & Utah came in 3rd twice & LSU appeared in the final after that Aly Raisman tie-breaker BS against Michigan last year, & it's Cal's first time in the championship but my thoughts Cal's will come in 4th since the other 3 teams are legendary.

@@elenajoseph6630exactly this. I also heard OU stuck all their warm up vaults and Florida went on vault after them and had the best rotation of the whole meet. It was an OU mental issue nothing wrong with the table
Are we sure the vault was set to the right height for Oklahoma? Did someone sabotage the springboard? Just shocking each athlete was short in the same manner on their vault.
So much to unpack. I don't think florida was like lights out. But I feel they were underscored minus ok and their falls... and Utah. They gave em it all but florida. I swear Anya stuck basically everything and was flawlessly 9.8s Oklahoma. All that talk that they were automatic. Serves the critics right. How dare they de value the other 3 teams in the field..
