I was able to make out one word that Dad said to her after she fell, which was "Terpi" in Russian that can be translated as "Endure" in imperative form. This is probably the attitude a champion is brought up!
I don't think that was Russian (I am native Russian speaker), I don't think they communicate in Russian at this important moment since Nastia's Russian is far from fluent
Nastia is such a gorgeous gymnast. And she is the opposite of cookie cutter. Her bar routine is inventive and different. She was such an asset to the sport. Sheerly gorgeous gymnast.
Did it really occur to any of the commentators that in 10 years time, one of them will be replaced by this girl and will be co-commentors for the other two??🌝
I know it was upsetting at the time, but it's good to make mistakes earlier than later. I think Valeri once said he was concerned that Nastia kept winning, because she might be getting too confident. In a way, I think that was unfortunately what happened to Shawn; people said she was overscored in the US competitions, so she didn't realize that she would get these form deductions at the Olympic, and then end up with AA silver. Whereas Nastia made these mistakes and struggled with injury, but that kept her vigilant about all the things she needed to work on. No shade on Shawn, she was a phenomenal gymnast too.
What a change in times does. A fall 3 yrs before the Olympics and 16 years later and 5 Olympic medals and she's sitting next to the same guy who was commenting on her gymnastics as his college.(Tim).
Of course she has that rare gymnastics “look” and everything, she was was literally *bred* to be an incredible gymnast 😄 in any case though, her bar work really was first class 😍
i have 2 things to say... #1. i can do a whole bunch of flips like back handspring and front and side aerial and stuff and #2.i wanna go to the olympics one day like gabby douglas even though im only 11
You're the perfect age assuming you were born in 2004. Most people going to the olympics are already elite by age eleven though, so keep that in mind. Remember, the olympics isn't all there is: do well enough and you can go to college for free.
She had a phenomenal swing and while she doesn't look as strong as some other gymnasts, to pull off an effortless long kip from hanging takes a LOT of strength. Lovely to watch.
What is meant is this the the first time she competed the geinger at Natls. I her book she says the fell on it at her first Natls then ended her career falling on the same skill.
I hope she dossent fall if she falls I will be mad I don't know how old she falled on bars that makes me angry how stupid is that but she didn't fall on other events but I'm angry right now 😆
Gymnasts are trained to fall so they don't hurt themselves. The spotter is only there to grab them if they are going to land wrongly or dangerously e.g. on their head. Nastia's spotter - her dad - could see she was falling correctly and got out of the way, as he is meant to do.
Tim Daggett just meant that it was rare for someone with her "long lines" to do the difficult elements cleanly and in a technical correct manner because she was thinner and leggier, as opposed to the shorter, more muscular and powerful type like Shawn Johnson. Nastia wasn't tall, but she looked long and lean compared to the other, bulkier American gymnasts. Ironically, her body type was totally the norm for gymnasts in previous eras.
I wonder why she didn't try to do the release again after getting back on bars. I mean, I know the deduction will still happen, but it would've been cool to show the audience you CAN do it? Also, can you break your toes if you hit the low bar while doing a giant on the high bar? Anyway, very cool dismount she did!
She probably wanted to save her stamina and just complete the routine. It was a better decision in case she fell on it again because two falls would have been worse and releases can still drain a gymnast
It’s pretty easy to break a toe…so maybe. I’ve broken one by brushing it accidentally on the edge of the bath whilst getting in and another by accidentally kicking a torch just when I missed sliding my foot into a shoe - I’m a klutz. So I guess, if you hit the bar with enough force and the right angle, then maybe?
@@murasakino101she ended up with two falls anyways since her feet hit the mat after that pak, but you're right, it was smart of her not to do it again, especially with how frazzled she clearly was.
Lindsay Walton No as in when she screws up she loses her place within the routine and never recovers from the screw up. she never has a plan be to get back on track and still get the score ..
Lindsay Walton Sigh you're not getting what i am saying. No most actually can shake it off and keep going, some can, some can't. What i'm trying to say is that she should have learned from this and broke out of the habbit of becoming lost after she fell..
TurboCMinusMinus which actually makes him even more disgusting if you think about it. With some of these perverts you can wonder if they're truly sick and genuinely can't control themselves and need to be locked away simply for treatment. But in this case the fact that he was calculating enough to stay professional with the big-name coach's daughter because he knew he'd get caught immediately if he did prey on her, shows that he COULD control himself and actively CHOSE not to with all the others.
My point is Nastia Luikin is not even a Russian National, she's an American..in fact she and her family changed their names structure to erase their heritage, a proof that they abandon their Russian ancestry ....and here you defending them as they were Russian Hero...and otherwise you trashing the whole finn whose many living in Russia and have Russian nationality and actually did help build Russia to become superpower..
I remember when I was little I thought that the coach would catch you and that means you lose and whem they didn't thw gymnast would win and now that im in gymnastics I don't think that till I was 5 don't judge me I was 2
I never liked her on bars back then. She always looked like she dreaded it. Even through 2008 she always thought was better. I guess we hats a Russian thing! She’s now become an annoying commentator joining the worst ever Tim Douche, 😞
