Yeh - he saved himself & her again at the end. He transferred the momentum from the first catch in his flip over top of her. That was extra amazing. Great reflexes & thinking.
Genuinely, I think every spotter and every spotter save is amazing, even if it's a normal slip and the spotter saves you, they've already saved someone from possible injuries, permanent scars and even more😭
Last one was going to hit the ground completely braced for the impact an was safe on her own . Had her hands out an everything but the spotter was slow to react and by the time he did he was unneeded
@@9justgamingno, even if she was prepared she could have gotten both arms broken, hitting the ground at that velocity. He slowed her fall and prevented her from taking heavy impact.
These videos show 2 things. #1. How utterly fearless these athletes have to be in practice if they expect to perfect it during competition. And #2. How crucial it is to have top-notch spotters who have lightening fast reflexes to be able to react, lunge, lurch. catch, and save these flying bodies. What an important, stressful, difficult responsibility they have. And how rewarding to know you are preventing harm in such an immediate and tangible way. Bravo to Everyone !!!!!! 🤗👌👍👏💪🙏💓
3) the level of trust they have on these spotters. They can take risks knowing these guys are fast and strong enough to grab em. No matter how awkward or small their hold is.
@@superadaminho853 only way to stop the fear is to continue but sometimes you can never stop the fear, but if you really love to do gymnastics then you should do it knowing these risks. And don't let others decide about you, its your life, they dont know you and what you like how you look (physically and not the look)
I always wondered how Olympians had the courage to do the daring moves they do. Now I see the immense skill and dedication of spotters. As a nurse I know how fragile the human body can be. It only takes a second to become a quadriplegic. These spotters are heroes!
The body mechanics of these spotters are amazing, to protect both the athletes and themselves from getting hurt. And the trust of the athletes in their spotters is obvious.
Damn, how the hell do they even know and 100% of the time they are correct Edit : why did this comment receive so many likes? But I quess thank you for the likes and the comments for telling me how they do it
Thay don't , but it's better to spot when you didn't need to than it is to not spot when you needed to. ( spotting is the term used for breaking their fall , normally with those pillows)
The coaches usually has been doing this for years ( my coach was a former gymnast) and 9 times out of 10 they will know if they need to spot you. Also spotting means catching you, throwing a mat (not PILLOW) in, or jus helping you in somthing
Spotters observe for certain mistakes in movements, body posture, etc. And if seen, they get ready to take action. (Ik someone who is a spotter btw thats how I know)
Those last two are incredible. Like the fact that second to last he caught a full grown woman by himself, and the last one is just incredible physics work and I don't think any part of that kid even hit the floor that's incredible
The spotters that save people's lives are some very very important people and building confidence to let those in competition sports know that they can push everything to the limits... Be grateful that they're ready to catch you and help keep you from getting injured 🙏🙏🙏... impressive...
Someone needs to also give props to the girl in the last one, half of that ninjaing actually included her pushing off the ground as well. Her and her spotter were scary in sync
@@sleuff the original commenter meant they still can’t even notice what clued those spotters in to knowing that he needed the save from the mats. They have a skill being able to notice any tiny thing that goes wrong so they know when to use the pads. I, like the original comment, can’t even tell what gave it away the pads were needed.
@@smallmonkey_and_littlemonkey the bars are not metal. They are very flexible, as you can see, but they still hurt and can break ribs if he landed like that too hard!
Love how the guy in the second clip is so experienced he knew way way before the actual attempt that the kid just didn’t look right to to a good dismount
