Chinese girls are so cute, look how Wei humbly asks Nina for a photo and then with the rest of the group being all happy! And it was a pitty for Lou Rui, She could won...
These girls compete together internationally quite a bit and have the opportunity to build beautiful friendships- it’s wonderful to see considering the elite level they compete at.
Aw so sad for Luo Rui, her bars in qualifications were glorious. So happy for Shilese to hit and win a medal, and Wei's dismount was amazing, congrats to her defending her title!
It was amazing for Luo Rui to keep her form and composure after hitting her feet like that, it looked as though it barely disturbed her momentum. Just the work of a true athlete. And yeah, thrilled for Shilese!
@@austinitel.2972 I had never seen it before and thus don't remember but if you replay that element in the video the commentators name it. It was a familiar skill (common release) but in a laid out position. Sorry But at the moment I am listening to something else.
@@austinitel.2972 it’s a laid out Jaeger. F rating in the code of points. Very rare, the only other gymnasts I can think of that did perform it are Komova and He Kexin
@@mr.d4ve both Komova and He Kexin crouched their backs slightly in the layout Jaeger whereas Luo keeps a totally straight body which is amazing and reduces body form deductions but does make it harder to clear the bar
Wei is PERFECTION... 100 percent deserved that Gold. In awe of her routine and execution. Her difficulty is insane and line so straight. Chinese gymnasts are technically so precise in beam and bars.
to be honest, luo rui's form is the best. wei have arch back on pirouette, need more amplitude on van leuween, pike jaeger6 is better without bent arm, but not as pretty as ohow ou yushan did. that are some area that need to improve if she want to win in future especially olympic.
@@MahmudinMahmudin Luo Rui USUALLY has better form but not this time. I think she got nervous because her pirouette was so rushed and would get 0.3 deduction for the angle. Even without deduction from hitting her feet at the jaeger she would not be able to get a higher e score than Wei. Plus since she could not gain enough height with jaeger she had to sacrifice her pointed toes to keep the layout, she need to improve her skill to prevent clashing on to bar in the future.
I love the Uneven Bars-- my favorite apparatus to watch!! This squad had so much variation showcasing a lot of different skills. Often times u get the same skills over and over so it was nice to see, but honestly they could still add on some more originality
So happy for shilese. Been watching her for years and really thought she was going to be one of the talents to really get eaten up by the US program but she's finally having a coming out party. She is capable of so much more difficulty... Next year you'll see the US WOMEN pull even further away from the rest of the teams. It's a shame only 2 can compete for AA.
I agree so, so much! It was so amazing to see her walk away from this World Championships with a team gold medal, an AA silver medal, and a UB medal in one of the more competitive UB finals that we've seen in recent years. Seriously, though, I don't think that I can express clearly enough what an incredible accomplishment it is to get a silver medal in a UB final where you're competing against four amazing bars specialists like Wei Xiaoyuan, Luo Rui, Nina Derwael, and Elisabeth Seitz, as well as someone like Rebecca Andrade. Wei was last year's defending champion. Derwael has a two World bars titles (2018 and 2019); she's the defending Olympic Champion, and she's the 2017 bronze medalist. Luo is the 2022 Bronze Medalist and the Chinese National Bar Champion, which is saying a lot, given how much depth their UB program has. And Seitz is the 2018 World Bronze Medalist, as well as the current European champion on UB. Plus, Andrade was the defending silver medalist, as well as the second-highest qualifier. Really, that UB silver might be Shilese Jones' most impressive medal, especially given that she didn't even do the full difficulty that she's trained.
I love when the commentator says Shilese doesn’t have as high difficulty as many of the other competitors in the field when literally only one gymnast has a higher d score 💀
To be marginally fair to them, Shilese got a 6.3 d-score for the first three bar routines that she competed in Liverpool. She got a 6.4 for the final because she made an extra connection and got that critical extra tenth. That 6.3 d-score from quals put her at the same level as Nina Derwael and Sanne Veerman and behind Wei Xiaoyuan and Luo Rui. That being said, though, she was still ahead of Andrade, Seitz, and Visser and tied with two other gymnasts, so saying that her quals difficulty wasn't that high doesn't really make sense, even excluding the fact that Sanne Veerman, Luo Rui, and Rebecca Andrade didn't get their full intended d-scores in the final.
@@liceous I know hopefully with her success at worlds we will see all her upgrades now . She has a new skill on bars and she also has a beautiful lay Jaeger also. She can FLY
Sería interesante ver a Rebeca con mucha más consistencia en las finales, como por ejemplo pasaba con Aliya Mustafina. En cada final a la que llegaba se llevaba una medalla. Rebeca se hubiera ido con 4 medallas 😀
yes, the half turn in the Derwael-Fenton wasn't credited so it was downgraded to a Ricna for 0.1 less in base value and only gets 0.1 CV into the Ezhova (instead of 0.2). That's why Derwael's SV was 6.3, not 6.5 as intended.
I am a Nina fan but I guess I can't really complain, I mean she already have two world titles and an Olympic gold in the discipline. There is also the simple fact that her routine wasn't the best or even second best.
I feel her feet were a little loose in a lot of her flighted elements... Maybe a bit more than before? If a judge pays a lot of attention to feet then she's out of luck
Nina's routine composition is problematic under this COP. She hasn't mastered the technique of doing the half turn in the air before catching so her Derwael-Fenton has a high chance of being downgraded to a Ricna and only getting 0.1 CV instead of 0.2. She should consider upgrading to a Nabieva 1/2 (G) so that even if it's downgraded to a regular Nabieva (F), it still gets 0.2 CV. She could also add the stalder Nabieva somewhere. Overall, I think she'll aim for big upgrades leading up to the 2024 OGs.
If you mean Nina's D score then it looks like her stalder Tkachev 1/2 (F rated) was downgraded to a stalder Tkachev (E rated) because her half turn didn't start early enough in the air. She then connected into an Ezhova (D rated) so E+D got 0.1 CV whereas F+D would have gotten 0.2 CV. Hence she lost 0.2 in D score overall
I don’t think Nina got credit for one of her elements. The half twisting one because she didn’t start the twist in the air. It brought down her D score. If she had it credited it might have been a 15
@@Yanezj46 no, if her half turn was credited she would have gotten an extra 0.2 in DV, bringing her score to 14.9 so she still would have finished below Wei. Overall, the current COP significantly nerfs Nina's routines
So many uncharacteristic mistakes... Rebeca could've just add a swing and she chose to fall, Nayomi fell on the easiest skill in the world, and Luo Rui hitting her feet during laid out jaeger
Absolutely! I feel a bit dissapointed that Rebecca and Naomi didn’t fight a bit harder to stay on. Respect for Luo Rui that she kept going! Beautiful winner, deserved top 3. What did you think about Nina not getting the full difficulty on the Derwael element?
Because those 'few hamdstands' were a lot harder and she was also much cleaner than the american and then actually stuck the landing. Wei won fair and square, she even deserved a higher E, so put away your sour grapes
Both the Chinese girls do numerous one armed pirouettes to handstand which are very difficult and E rated, and they're all connected for 0.1 CV each time. Wei Xiaoyuan also does an inbar stalder full connected to an inbar Shap, both are E rated and eligible for 0.2 CV. Simply put, pirouettes don't look as spectacular as releases but are deceptively difficult, can be worth more and Wei does lots of them. To put it in perspective, a stalder Tkachev is E rated, a Pak only D rated. The current COP also reduced the CV available for connected releases which lowers the DV for routines like Shilese's (and Derwael's). To fully understand why Wei's routine has such a high DV you'll need to understand the COP which is very technical
@@poshbo I remember when Nastia's bar routine was crafted with pirouettes to make her difficulty competitive against He Kexin's release skills. That's when I figured out that pirouettes must be hard to do. Also, the inbars, which must be impossible if you're a little tall. They actually tied at that olympics, but the tiebreaker got He Kexin the gold.
@@tosh4771 at the 2008 Olympics E rated pirouettes were eligible for 0.2 CV each time, that's why Nastia did so many of them in a row. He Kexin and the other Chinese girls also did them for the same reason. But they require tremendous shoulder, wrist and arm flexibility and American gymnasts, who tend to be muscular and powerful (except Nastia) generally can't do them. Inbars are also highly valuable but require lots of back flexibility (think of Komova and other skinny Russians), Mustafina used to do inbars but after having her baby she just didn't have the flexibility anymore and replaced them with toe ons and stalders which significantly dropped her DV. I think Nina and Shilese don't look like they're flexible enough for inbars or one armed pirouettes, Nina's height also does make inbars hard, especially on the low bar
I’m not a scoring expert but I feel like some of the gymnasts at this competition are really getting gutted by the judges. Brody Malone is one amd so is Nina. I was shocked when she scored lower than Shilese. Both did great but it’s like they came in not wanting Nina to win.
Her first release was devalued by two tenths because she’s supposed to twist before she catches the bar and she doesn’t do that. Her feet are also frequently flexed, and the pirouette was a bit late. She still scored really high, but her difficulty also isn’t the same as when she was winning everything because the code of points has changed. Also, it’s basically her first competition back!
yeah I agree. Even in Men's floor, Idk I feel like that gold medal was alittle strange... But in this event, Wei definitely deserved the gold in uneven bars women but yes Nina should have scored more than Shilese.
