UCLA GYMNASTICS | BEHIND THE BUBBLE - SENIOR NIGHT Part I 

Can UCLA make a permanent position for Peng? Please I don't wanna see her go 💕😭

Every time I watch "She recruited me, guys. When I was injured and told that I'd never be able to do gymnastics again" I cry. Every time. Peng we're gonna miss you so much :'(

I felt it so much when Peng and Val were talking at the end.

Wow! The three of you sound AMAZING singing the National Anthem!

“It’s funny cuz I’m Canadian” 😂😂😂😂 ilysm

Hi Peng, I'm the crazy lady :) who asked you to take a pic with me outside of the McKale Center in Tucson, so thank you for that! I told you that you were my hero, and I want to briefly tell you why...I have a 7 yr old autistic son who has been intensely challenging recently for various reasons...I watched you on the PAC network for the first time a couple of months ago, and your magnetic happy energy moved me to learn a bit more about your background. Although our situations are completely different, Your positive attitude after having a couple of Olympic dreams dashed, and your continued zest for life helped and inspired me to carry on, not just enduring, but really trying to enjoy my challenge. Maybe because I love to sing and play the guitar too (and am also a former gymnast), I don't know, but your example has recently carried me through some challenging times...You are so special. I love your perception on the fact that it's all about your character and your personality, not on what you do or what you've done. So thank you for being you! I'm sure you will do well in and enjoy whatever future endeavors you decide to pursue!

We have to thank Ms. Val for believing in Peng! Thanks Ms. Val! Thanks so much Peng! :)

Watching your farewell dance always gives me the shivers from the millions of times I’ve watched this vid

Stay in UCLA forever Peng. This makes me cry a lot 😭😭😭 we gonna miss see you in the meets 😭😭😭💙💛

I cried at work watching this and I'm a armed body guard. Was amazing watching you girls thru the years . I live in Arkansas but I fell in love with your girls joy and always being yourself, funny , full of life. I hope all of you are doing great and keeping in touch. Life is short and so glad you didn't let one moment slip away.

Even though its been 6 years since you graduated, I have just sat here balling my eyes out watching this video and seeing Miss Val's reaction to your speech at the end, is the reason I believe we all deserve a Miss Val in our lives ❤

Hi Peng Peng, sometime can you please talk about what it was like to get recruited/ your recruitment process and how you ended up at UCLA? Also, good luck this weekend!

Don't stop vlogging, would love to see life after ucla.

This video honestly gave me shivers over my entire body 😫

Dear Peng, thank you for sharing, thank you for doing gymnastics and keeping the fun, and thank you for existing on our beautiful planet, basically. The planet your sunshine makes a bit more beautiful everytime you share your great vibe with us! I hope you guys wil ROCK IT at the championships, it's been a great seasons and it's time to top it off with some great final scores for you guys! I wish you the very very best and I can't imagine the Bruins without you. Even from the Netherlands we'll miss you, Peng!

I love what you said about this team being special because that's exactly how I felt after seeing the 2018 bruin team from Europe... You all look super close, caring and genuinely happy for everyone in the team. I was wondering if it has something to do with the fact that some members stayed in ( you, Hallie, Jordyn), and became naturally role models for the others... ( also, I really felt this year that Bruins are truly a second family, and for a lifetime. I loved recognise Samantha, Angi, Mikaela,Alex and other former Bruin during meets!) Anyway, it's such a joy to watch you all compete and have fun...

PENG PENG LE Really you are so Great..

you can truly tell miss val loves her athletes so much. ugh so amazing to see

Cried watching this :( love you Peng

Too many emotions!! Literally crying for you. Your dance on floor was beautiful and perfectly executed. Don’t leave 😭😭

I'm Italian and I found out about college gymnastics only two years ago. I am so happy that I got to watch you compete these past two years! Best of luck for everything 😘

not me crying for the millionth time watching this for the thousandth time 😭😭 And it looks like Miss Val was hiding her face behind Peng so that people didn’t see her cry 😭

Literally bawl my eyes out every single time I see you doing this!! Absolutely amazing inspirational Peng and you’ll never be forgotten at UCLA or in the gymnastics world for that matter!! Just wow😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

Peng!! I’m not even a gymnast but I’ve been such a huge fan of your throughout your college career at UCLA. I’m so proud of you. Thank you for being such an amazing person witness greatness from ❤️

I literaly just cried watching you talk about Miss Val and I just discovered my love for UCLA gymnastics yesterday (i have been binging all of your vids!!) I am a Michigan Wolverine thru and thru- but how can you not love this team?!? ❤️❤️❤️

Oh gosh now I’m crying again 😭 Please keep making videos after gymnastics. I would love to keep up with you!

I literally cry every time I watch something from senior night. hope to see you at pac 12s 💗

Peng is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and can't help but love her spunky personality! And love COACH VAL! No wonder the girls love gymnastics so much.....they are like one big beautiful family with her!!!!!

Peng Peng Lee, sou sua fã! Você e incrível, maravilhosa. Brasil Rio de Janeiro. Sou avó tenho 70 anos! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Crying. Gonna miss you so much.

Dear Peng I love you and look up to you. You are my favorite Gymnast I have posters of you in my room I just admire your courage and strength. You are such a great gymnast keep it up.😊

I'm in class, haven't even watched it yet and I already feel like crying 😭💙

i starting crying at 20 seconds and by the end i am bawling

I love you so much your a true inspiration and I am starting gymnastics because you inspired me and I ha e been bullied about my weight my whole life but I love gymnastics and I love you you have helped me through incredibly hard times I truly honestly love you 💕

I love you Peng and even though I've had years to prepare, I'm still not ready to say Good bye.

i literally balled my eyes out watching this lol💕

Wow. You were recommended to me yesterday (yay for algorithms that work!), I instantly subscribed and started binge watching all your older videos. And I find myself crying from these videos and caring for people I didn’t know existed before yesterday. I even didn’t know college gymnastics was a thing. (I’m not American, like Canada, here in The Netherlands we don’t have that here).

Your fans will miss you next year!!! Best wishes for your future!

Hello Peng! I'm an avid gymnastics fan as well as a die hard Bruin and I just had to share the appreciation that I have for you as a person. I remember watching videos of you posted on RU-vid when you were still just a little girl (maybe 12 or 13), but oh so talented. I knew then that you would be something great for the sport of gymnastics. And interestingly, greatness takes on many forms. Obviously, the Olympics are the pinnacle of a gymnast's career, but far more important than any competition is the competitor that continues to strive for greatness, no matter what might stand I their way. YOU, Christine Jennifer Peng-Peng Lee, ARE THAT COMPETITOR! Never before have I seen a gymnast that kept going, despite the struggles you encountered. When your first ACL surgery did not assimilate, you could have easily given up and said that you were done. Instead, you took the hard road of going through a 2nd surgery, recovery and rehabilitation, all for the sake of fulfilling a dream that you and your Bruin sisters all shared. And now, that dream has come to fruition in the most miraculous way. I am ecstatic that you were able to come away from NCAA'S with the team title and an individual title on beam, but to close out your gymnastics career at the top of your game with 2 perfect 10s is remarkable. I am so proud of all that you have gone through in your gymnastics career and even more proud to know that you are going to be remembered as one of the greatest Bruin gymnasts to step foot in Westwood. You will be missed Peng, but we all know that you are destined still for even greater things than even you can imagine. I wish you all the best ❤

Really gonna miss theses girls don't go plsssssssssssssssssss😢😢😢😢😢😢😣😣😣😣😣😣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Ugh sooo emotional, and WHY WOULD ANYONE DISLIKE THIS???

I'll miss your vlogs about gymnastics meets so much! I just discovered your vlogs but I love them and I crack up throughtout all of the video !

You’ve been through so much! Thank you for sharing and best of luck to you.

Cried at the end. You are truly inspirational.

Peng - your floor routine was one for the books. Bravo young lady.. and the best team celebratory routine ever! Fabulous!

You’re incredible peng and such an inspiration. I’m going to miss seeing you compete for UCLA!!

i cried bb 😭 ur such an inspiration we’re all gonna love you but u will always be remember at ucla! we’ll miss u 💕💕🔥

I was good until I saw your floor (which I've seen like a thousand times already), and then I lost it. We love you Peng and we're going to miss you!

peng peng please oh please keep do more vids I loved watching you perform beam and I saw all of your perfect 10s on beam

Peng and coach Val how sweet.

Awww I crying so much when I watched this live 😭😭 good luck for the future 💕💕

I’m sad to see you go Peng plz stay

This video made me cry😪❤️

What an amazing career. And boy have you been missed on FX. Keep doing what you do the remainder of the season. And then come teach Team USA how to feel the music!!!

Damn it... Y'all made me cry even more at the end!! I can't believe this is your last season... The homa (sp?) flairs on the beam need to be continued... But seriously you've been my favorite gymnast to watch and I'm rooting for UCLA to win this year NC A!

Omg this is such an emotional video I was crying during basically the whole thing especially when you and Miss Val was talking😭😭 we’ve all been missing you very much on the team😭❤️❤️❤️

Well miss you so much Watching ❤ her gymnastics

You’re journey is so special I cried watching this idk why 😭😭😭I cried though ! That’s how strong your story is peng

im not crying, i swear

I swear I cry ever time I see this video😭❤️❤️

Love you Peng!

The end with Miss Val crushed me. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I started crying when she did her farewell routine

Hey Peng, I was just told that I have bilateral spondylolysis in my L5 vertebrae. I am a level eight gymnast and I want to know what you did for your recovery, and how you coped with the mental aspect of it. I would love your advice on some exercises and other things i can do to get back out and competing. i really look up to you, especially with how much you have been through with your injuries. thank you for being such a great role model, you’re amazing!

LOVE! #PENGUINS4LIFE

man, its waterworks every single time... I feel emotionally unstable because of senior night. I was beaming with pride throughout the whole meet though. Can't you do something with marketing/promotion for UCLA gymnastics? Bruin Banter as a full time paid job maybe? Desperately trying to come up with something fun for you to stay ;)

Dang...ALL your videos are SO interesting and I can't stop watching them. So glad I discovered these after finals xD

I’m so sad I couldn’t make the meet but his recaps it all. I will miss you and good luck at pac 12!💙💛

Love this soo much! You are sooo inspirational!

I LOVE YOU PENG!!

Peng, seriously, what are they going to do without you?!

Omg cried through the second half of this video, congrats on a great career!!! Good luck in the post season 👍

Ugh Peng, why did you didn't warn me! I watching this while eating breakfast. SO MANY TEARSSSS. And I never cry while watching movies or anything, but this was just SO EMOTIONIAL (yes, all caps needed..). Can't believe your abs decided to graduate before you (lol, Peng, do you just come up with these things on the spot?). You should have a permanent spot on the team. You can't leave! Though I do wish you alll the best in the future. You'll do great in whatever you'll do next. Thank you for being you.

It’s really hard to get into UCLA gymnastics and I really want to go because my aunt went to UCLA and I want to be on the team, but you have to work hard and then probably you can.

Omg I started crying

miss val believing in peng led to the greatest comeback in sports history -- ever.

At this point in my life I'm willing to 100% commit to gymnastics just so I can possibly have Miss Val in my life.

the ending made me cry!! 🥺🥺🥺

Peng , i actually cried😭😭 ilysm💛

Thanks for being an amazing inspiration to me Peng❤️❤️
