The smiles that she has on this event, she really needs to bring this back. She was so stoic at nationals she looks like she doesn't enjoy gymnastics anymore. As if it's just business/publicity for her.
Megan Wuthrich it gets hard after a while but you know, just because we dont see her smiling physically, we'll never know if she was smiling on the inside or not😊
why do people have to smile? they do not give/ rest you points for smiling. I do think she is in love with gimnastics but she probably had a lot going on because everyone is talking shit about her. And well it is actually business for a lot of athletes that make a living out of the olimpics.
It's so amazing to see old videos of Gabby where she smiles and seems just so young and happy. I feel like she lost her passion for gymnastics and you can definitely see it, she had so much more style in 2012.
0:38-0:39 was truly AMAZING! I wish I knew what that skill was called :-( I Love GABBY! Her, Jordyn, and Nastia are my favorites if they all can go to the Olympics:-D
She is inspiring me too keep on doing gymnastics every time i cant do something i need to know how to do i just look at this video and it influences me to keep on doing my best no matter how hard it is so i just want to thank GABBY DOUGLAS for everything u are amazing u are my idol i love u
everyone hates her music... but honestly... i love it. it expresses her possible love for modern/pop music and she dances so well to it. great tumbling, great dancing, great gymnast. GO FOR GOLD GABBY!!!
gabby douglas is the best all around gymnast in the world right now.i dont care what anyone else says...she flys and makes everything look so amazing...
It's not about her hair, choice of music or even the choreo.. This girl has done more at the age of 16 then most of us have done in our entire lives. I'm so proud of this little girl! She makes me so proud!!! Her switch leap is BANANAS!!!!
It was a true honour and pleasure to watch Gabby at the London Olympics in my home country and city, she clearly showed there is nothing you can't achieve without hard work, focus and dedication all obstacles can be pushed aside and you can be the very best and when the time is yours that your time to cease the moment and make all about you. Go Gabby!!
I just got into watching gymnastics while watching the 2012 olympics. so... what, when, and where are the major televised gymnastics competitions held? i cant get enough of watching these people flip through the air!!!
damn I have so much respect for all you gymnist out there! I can't imagine how much hustle it takes to do what you guys do. I'm truly in aw and bow down to all of you Ladies and gentleman!!!! USA USA USA!!!!?!!
I have a friend in synchronized swimming and another in gymnastics.....it's absolutely amazing what they are capable of :) it's one video seeing the talent, another is seeing how much Gabby loves this
Never knew who GABBY was before the olympics..but, i predict she will be known as one of the finest gymnists ever!!! She is just *poetry* in motion!! thanks Gabby...:)))
Gabby Douglas Focus and concentration is amazing. She is always Focus, and that's why she performed so spectacular and phenomenal at both the 2012 London Summer Olympic Games as well as at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympic Games.
I really can't wait to start Gymnastics on Monday I'm 19 years old I and I am determined to make it to the next Olympics I'm going to work my but off every class. I know I'm a little old to start Gymnastics but I have already had training in Dance Intensively which helped with my flexibility and I'm a little Dare devil as people say so I really can't wait to start ! Gabby is my Idol in Gymnastics so far!
Agreed 100%. I'm not a fan of the music and choreography, but I LOVE watching Gabby on floor- her landings are clean, beautiful form on the tumbling, and she SMILES and puts on a true performance. She reminds me of Shawn in that respect- Shawn always looked like she was having fun and enjoying herself, and I think that's a real testament to Chow and his style of coaching.
She's wonderful. It's hard for mere mortals to understand how hard she had to work to get where she is. Year after year, working out in anonymity, every day, rain or shine, sick or well, all for the few minutes in competition. I know I don't have that kind of staying power but I'm glad she does. Such a pleasure to watch.
great job. perfecto. Gabby u make every parents proud. waoh u re the best keep it up. May the Lord God be with u & crown all ur efforts more good lucks are comin ur way.way 2go beautiful princess.
I thinks that this floor music is great for Gabby! She has a great choreography and she enjoy to do this floor! I would love to see Gabby using this floor music in London! I just love Gabby!
well the music is messed up in this video there is like another track of her music on top of the original and it is playing like one second behind so its echoing
I have to agree with Stonymypony about the lack of choreography .Back when I was competing, we were required to spend an hour of each training day in the ballet studio above our gym. Still, I am blown away by both the execution and level of difficulty of this routine.
So happy she got second. She was so close to winning even with a fall and was able to show Marta her mental toughness by coming back and doing great on all her other events. Good luck at trials Gabby!
She always lands smoothly without tilting and that is astonishing. I think I saw she made 4 fast turns in the air. She is definitely America's secret weapon and national treasure
I love this floor is fun..she shows that you don't have to be ballet star to have a great floor...to me this is one of the most fun routines in the world.
Absolutely AMAZING!!! Gabby is a great competitor && individuals need to stop hating && let Gabby do Gabby!! She worked hard to get where she is && if your feeling some type of way then maybe YOU SHOULD GET A DAMN LIFE && DO SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF!!!!
