Also remember that Elena Mukhina was doing a skill that is now banned because it's inherently more dangerous. Not only that but she was forced to train on a broken leg that didn't heal properly, and had complained that the skill that was too dangerous, and had already been causing her minor injuries. And in her own words when she got injured her first thought was "Thank God, I won't be going to the Olympics."
it honestly pissed me off a little when she's saying she wants to continue but her body language is screaming "I'm scared but can't be the one to take myself off the floor" while she's clearly trying to stabilize her own neck and no one really notices. She probably didn't even notice
well done to her for making the right choice however they overused her in rio, not only did she compete in the AA in qualification and the AA final but they also decided to put her in all 4 events in the team final when she wouldve been better off only letting her do her bars and floor routine and giving more of an opportunity to there underdogs, amy wouldve smashed the beam and given team gb a real shot at bronze and ruby wouldve given the team a decent score on vault. ellie deserved to do the all around however 3 times! no wonder she messed up so much, she was overworked and had so much pressure on her when those coaches knew that amy was well good enough to of competed in the aa. team gb really was a mess untill 2020
Oh no,she got hurt. I do like this girl and she is good. I am really sorry for her. She was still able to do her vault. Lucky her. I live in Rio De Janeiro.
If u look at 4:10 (the end of the video it shows the score and what place Elissa Downie is in all the information is on the screen at the end of the video)
injuries can take a bit to come into full force, first you can just feel the adrenaline, you don't feel the pain or dizziness immediately, takes some time... Besides I think she really wanted to pull through but decided against it when she felt dizzy
its the same thing with a lot of other gymnasts, the venue is different for them but most are still capable of executing their rountine with a few errors. After each tumble her balance was off and then her fall. it seemed too much for her. its the Olympics, everyone brings their A-game, the venue cant be a reason for any mistakes, when shes performing around the world.
Wow people, u r making it seem like a big deal, this was a freak accident she got lost in the air and thought she had enough air to go over that flip, she didnt rebound as well as she should have on the 2.5, however she did it perfectly in the all around , maybe she was nervous but that can happen anytime or anywhere, aly raisman had the same exact fall in london warmups for the team final
I think Ellie is a great gymnast with a lot of potential and a ton of talent, so don't get me wrong, however, she's a total head case, she cannot handle her nerves for anything and nerves are what cause people to make stupid, ridiculous mistakes. They worry about falling too much and then boom, down they go. You just have to go out there, ignore the crowd, and do what you've always done, of course, that's not easy, but that's where experience comes in, and I think she needed a little more experience before she went to the olympics.
m lily Oh I'm sorry are you saying that if you went to the Olympics you wouldnt be as nervous as her? She was unlucky - the landing before the punch was blind and she just didn't get away with it that time.
It's 2019 and Ellie Downie is doing great. It's amazing what older age can do for gymnasts (Ellie is 20 years old now) despite people claiming little girls are better at gymnastics than women. Glad women are taking the sport back!
Lo que yo veo es que estas instalaciones qur pusieron son de un pais pobre. A mi en lo personal no me gustaron. Brasil despues de estas olimpiadas quedo mas pobre que nunca.
Você é atleta usou alguns dos aparelhos para poder falar? Não deve nem ter tido dinheiro para vir ver os Jogos e vem fingir que sabe de algo, Pobre é esse seu comentário ridículo, Caso não saiba as Instalações e Aparelhos usados nesta Olimpíada são excelentes e foram apreciados e elogiados por todos, Você deve ser apenas um Espanhol com inveja por terem perdido os Jogos para o Rio, E como você é desinformado a Economia e o Brasil vão super bem e é uma das 10 maiores economias globais! 😉
And raisman stole that pass form Viktoria Komova? Vika did the same combo except with a stag at the end instead of punch front layout since before 2009... get over yourself, this is a sport with a limited number of combinations especially if you want difficulty.
Heyy Tundo That pass has been done before Aly Raisman and it will be done long after her. If you put it that way, every tumble pass has been stolen apparently...
since when does she have a very similar first pass to aly and almost the same music as laurie?? can you be anymore less original? don’t get more wrong i love this girl but it kinda makes me confused on why she does it?
katie cullum Lmao Americans be like thinking they own everything. That music belongs to Skeleton not Laurie Hernandez, beside the edit is different. And that pass is quite popular among gymnasts since it has C + E indirect connection (they're looking for CVs)😒😒 Many gymnasts are doing it, just because Ally popularize it doesn't mean it hers.
