Inside the Floor Routine Once Thought Impossible 

+Theologos Just cutting out soda helped that much? How many did you drink a day before you quit drinking them? I'm really curious since I drink them daily myself. 🤔

It's primarily from cutting out processed carbohydrates or simple sugars. These wreck your insulin levels and cause fat storage, so removing them from your diet is a great way to lose weight and be healthier. Plus, cutting out those simple carbs from sodas (juice too) lowers how much water you tend to hold, so it helps reduce bloat.

terrific1290 never to late to try a cartwheel

terrific1290 f

terrific1290 hahaha... Lmao. The story of my life

How is she underrated when she has won an olympic gold medal?

+Niklas LW Cuz they only talk about Simone lol not her therefor underrated

I wouldn't say she underrated but she's FAR from overrated

thats what i thought how is she underrated?

Niklas LW she’s underrated in the sense that she’s always been in the shadow of others - Weiber and Douglas has all the headlines in 2012 and Biles in 2016. It’s just timing. If you look at records, most in the gymnastics community would probably put Aly as the third greatest American gymnast behind Biles and Miller but she is rarely considered as such in general.

We're here for you.

123tube456 same

123tube456 well that's great 'tumbling' 😄 you could be a gymnast afterall!

Hey, gymnasts trip on flat surfaces, too. We just hope it's not during a routine.

IKR!!!!😂😂😂😂😂

Joy ce U know why I love gymnastics and ice skating. It's a sport that doesn't fail to show beauty with strength.

Joy ce so soccer can be a sport while gymnastic can't? I agree with you 100%. Gymnastic combines beauty with hard work and all the while being a sport. ( sorry if it seems mean to YOU but I agree with you and how gymnastic is and can be a sport.)

Joy ce obviously u are a rugby supporter!🤣

MAN DOES THIA PROBLEM REMIND ME OF SOMETHING... HMMM MAYBE DANCE. (sorry I am a competitive dancer and it really annoys me when someone is like "oh yeah dance isn't a sport")

Joy ce omg yes like out of all sports gymnastics is the one that makes u the strongest and is the most competitive just bc it's not like a team doesn't make it not a sport, people don't know how strong u have to be

+dronetalk 316 lol have you ever met a man.....yall never shut up but you don't even realize how much you talk, and talk over women....also like it's not like no man has ever commented on some professional athlete expressing admiration for them & happiness about their success, like tf is wrong w that, why can't some ppl just let ppl be happy without being buzzkills for no reason...

Thank you for that. I was just ignoring the pesky flies buzzing about because they weren't worth wasting energy or time. :o) You are correct though!

+Heather Wicker haha np! it's true tbh they're not really worth it. but sometimes you're just in a mood to be pissed at someone on youtube yanno

True words. Been there before. lol One night years ago I was talking to my brother on the phone and he talked for three hours...three freaking hours!! I got maybe 15 mins of talking. I was exhausted and realized it's not true that women talk a lot. Men talk way more. lol Have a great day!

drone talk 316: And you obviously don't write tOO much. Bless your heart.

GeneCARRASCA she said it was her last Olympics

I don't think she'll be back after the Larry Nassar controversy. She's working more towards being a voice for athletes and protecting athletes.

yep

Yes! It was amazing!

we dont have tv and it's not anywhere on RU-vid, i want to see her so badly in RIO. :(

+StarChime Edits 101 you can stream and watch everything on the nbc app or website

Derek Shepard but only for 20 minutes and then you have to buy it. :(

Nymphfy I think she means the abuse that came out.

Chany Goldstein Yes, the abuse.

I can't watch any 2012 Olympics clips because of things that came out in testimony.

I don't understand her doing naked photoshoots considering what she said happened to her?

@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 you've probably never been sexually assaulted then. she didnt just say it happened to her, it did happen. he was convicted and went to jail for it and it happened to hundreds of other girls too. there is literally no correlation between her abuse and her choosing to do a nude photoshoot but your ignorant little lizard brain can only think "if she was molested (that is if she didnt make the whole thing up) shouldnt she be ahsamed of her body and all things remotely sexual for the rest of her life?" and it wasnt just a naked photoshoot it was the ESPN body issue that is meant to celebrate all different types of athletes bodies, not remotely sexual. She has an insanely strong body that earned the USA a gold medal and she has ever right to show off and be proud, if she wants to showcase it in a prestigious magazine its nobody's decision but her own.

A lot of it is extreme hard work. Don't just put that out of the picture.

discupline and hardwork. not a gift. expending at least 8 hours of training every day!

Gustavo Mendias Well now you're on the other side of the spectrum. I'm sure her teachers saw something in her at a young age that far surpassed that of her peers. That must be her "gift". It's always a combination of the two.

+Locke Sir. mothing is a "gift" it is a continous training. of course their trainers saw "something" added to her many hours of trianing. people said "my mom said I'm gifted in singing. O.k but my question is? do you do any vocal course? any training.. they respond. No. but my momma said I'm gifted"a talent without many hours of training,discipline and failure is Nothing. of curse their parents want her to be gymnast. it is an expensive career too. so .it is a whole package.

Gustavo Mendias Read what I posted. I did not deny that her results came from constant training. That probably accounted for more than 90% of the reason why she is so good at what she does. HOWEVER, you cannot deny the fact that some people, some people (just read this part), have some sort of external outside INCLINATION to be good at certain things. For example, some people are "gifted" athletically, some have higher than average IQ's, some are born with perfect pitch, etc. HOWEVER, most people are not of the above description, so they have to rely on pretty much 100% hard work.

Really? Across a whole corner to corner...?

i feel you, im so tall for my age and it is really hard!

I'm one 1.65 and just eleven, height can be really annoying in gymnastics!!

She is only like 5'4

Andrea Garcia We're the same age but you're like 20 centimeters taller😂 I'm such a shortie

jhhwild Apparently that was the doctor

@heart snob Yes, you are exactly right. Sometimes a field of competition is dominated by a single, amazing, athlete. Competitors who would otherwise win, are repeatedly kept off of the top podium. It's not just about being good, it's about who destiny forces you to compete against.

Beth Tweddle used to compete the pass without the punch layout to finish so she was probably the closest to achieving it. But she often almost went out of bounds even without the layout so I'm guessing that even though she was probably capable of the skill she wouldn't be able to keep it in bounds.

It's not that uncommon without the layout. Ellie Downie has competed the 1 1/2 to double arabian (sometimes with a leap out of the arabian), and I'm fairly certain the Viktoria Komova did as well. The layout is what makes it so challenging. 0.2 extra in connection value and much more difficult to keep in bounds.

Check out my Instagram mattjdunn11 I’ve trained that pass

Every time I see her compete I just kinda feel shame looking at her arms, shoulders, and legs... and I'm not even scrawny, just jealous.

go hit the gym, you girly men

Yes, weights.

TI Pilot you would find it far easier to put on muscle than her.

Kanye East LA this comment made me laugh

1kaaa I can’t even do a backhand spring!!! All I can do is a backwalkover☹️☹️

TheEclipticSmiless are you kidding me ally is awesome but Simon bileses floor routine was out of this world . At this point Simon biles is competing with herself

Tell that to her at the beam final.

TheEclipticSmiless but Simone was dead amazing. Ally could have 2nd place.

TheEclipticSmiless derass

TheEclipticSmiless beam is always an unsure event, she still medaled and became a legend. The other competitors know they have to depend on Simone to mess up, and Aly is indeed a beast on floor but she got her gold in 2012. But Simone routine has things many can’t achieve.

Say it again! Everything is oh so positive and supportive on Aly's videos but let it be about Simone or Gabby especially...Hate is always spewed there. It's disgusting.

Noone said anything hateful until you came by.

Would an antisemitic comment about Aly make you feel better?

Egyptian_Thoth and yet here you are with instigation

Egyptian thoth, so you felt it was necessary to spread it here too? You can observe peace and pleasure without commenting on its lack of hate and anger that is0 seen elsewhere...and without trying to make this wonderful story a comment about racism.

Silverfoxxee Same! 3 years later, I’m so sad she’s retired.

same

I did too, however Simone just has better execution and more difficulty.

Simone has more personality and grace on floor, too. Aly has great tumbling, but no expression or grace. Her routine doesn't tell a story.

@@carascottvo Simone and grace don't really belong in the same sentence. Amazing, incredible, best of all time athlete. But her routines are not graceful in the slightest.

The world knew who was gonna win, many people waited to see Simone dominate the Olympics. I wished they named passes though, in my eyes that will always be a Raisman pass.

dies

Me too

that wouldn't effect the d score at all....

Maybe but she could also step out of bounds

This is posted on a mainstream channel hah...so none of the commenters actually do gymnastics.

Might as well do a half (or 1 1/2) layout and do another tumbling pass to the other corner 😁😁
