well those two girls (+ that shilese chica) are not really elegant and sophisticated for such artistic sport. They will be more appropriate for running or marathon anyway, much more switched there.
This was definitely one of the best beam finals in a while!! The fact that the 5th Place score would’ve won last year by nearly half a point shows the standard! Ps I’m now a huge fan of Zhou, her lines & precision are some of the best I’ve ever seen!
You noticed that too, huh! It was beautiful when I saw that Simone Biles called Melissa, dos Santos, from France to her group, to take pictures, since they train together.
Contrairement aux personnes dans les commentaires ... Peut-être pas sur cette vidéo mais ça m étonnerait puisque ça fait des jours que je suis dépitée par toutes ces batailles en dehors de tous les principes sportifs.
Can we talk about the older girls… and guys doing their thing this year? Simone’s 26, Rebeca 24 and That Dutch Girl 32!!!! That one Guy from Israel was 35!!!😮😮😮😮
The mature gymnasts know how to compete. They are like fine wine, they just get better with time. They are wonderful treasures, I'm loving it. I'm smiling from ear to ear! The older gymnasts rocked the world championships!
this may be a hot take, but if a skill can only be performed by prepubescent child because of their flexibility (and when they turn 18 the originators of the skill can’t even do it), should it be in women’s gymnastics? Also, do we really need to force leotards on these girls when men’s gymnastics obviously don’t have issues showing off their skills wearing shorts? The 70s were wildin but a lot of rules back then are still used today.
I cannot stop thinking about the FACT that this is only the FIFTH OR SIXTH month since Simone's return after such a lengthy lay off and can perform at this level! It is truly nothing short of AMAZING! I wish her all the best for the rest of the competition all the way until the end of the Olympics next year if life spares.
@@MsJubjubbird😂😂😂 Sounds like you're mad & jealous that she looks better in a leotard & in MUCH better shape than you ever could & could be, hater 😂😂😂😂
@@MsJubjubbirdwhat do you mean a leotard that fits her? Her Leo fits much like everyone else’s…..except unlike many other gymnasts, I’ve never seen her Leo ride up her butt crack and showing both cheeks, but I’ve seen many other gymnasts end up with their leotards looking like thong underwear with their full moon on display (often cruelly highlighted by cameramen who zoom in on them). Her Leo fits fine, and it stays in place.
Simone Simone Simone....I have no more words. This whole competition has been incredible truly! So many athletes have just been amazing here. And I LOVE the positive atmosphere these women have even against their competition!
Com essa medalha de bronze, Rebeca conseguiu entra na lista de ginastas que conquistaram medalhas em todos os aparelhos em Mundiais. Simplesmente magnífica. 💚💛💙
@@kathleenstallworth490 Lol ok well then let's not have competitions at all and just have show cases where nobody competes and every just gets participation medals?
2014 Bai Yawen lost by less than a tenth, 2018 Liu Tingting defeated her in finals, 2021 Guan Chenchen would have beat Simone even if she did the harder dismount. And now 2023 Zhou Yaqin is just a tenth away from gold. So they have been challenging her for a while. What is so impressive about Simone is she has medaled in all 8 World/Olympic beam finals she has attended which will likely never be matched. In that time she has gone up against 12 different Chinese gymnasts (Liu Tingting the only one she faced twice) and she outscored all but three of them -Tingting 2018, and Guan Chenchen and Tang Xijing 2021. And she would have probably defeated Tang Xijing if she didn’t have the twisties
@@kathleenstallworth490what did she do in Tokyo other than not admit earlier that she as losing her orientation in the air (“twisties”) and pull out of events, not allowing someone else who would have been more consistent to perform all the way through
Beam is Rebecca’s weakest apparatus and bars is Simone’s weakest apparatus. They are both happy, smiling, and beautiful young women. I wish them nothing but the best. I am just happy that finally Simone has someone to seriously compete against. That’s something she has always wanted. Shilese, who lost her dad, my heart aches when she does her floor routine because it’s dedicated to her dad and it’s beautiful to watch. Her dad would be so proud of her. I love them all. All of these gymnasts are great. ❤
SIMONE!!!! Gold medal and rock solid. Not one finger or connection was out of place or slow! She balanced tricks with elegance and took this for what the 5th time!! People hate on her because she’s so great but forget she’s only been back for 6 months and still DOMINATES the field without even doing her hardest tricks. These routines she’s performing are watered down by her own standards and she’s still the best!!! Y’all have no idea what upgrades are coming for Paris. Keep wishing but it’s Simone’s world and the other athletes should feel honored to even be able to compete against her. ❤❤❤❤ Simone
Beautiful performances in this final. That must be one of SIMONE BILES’ finest 🥈 beam routines ever! Congratulations to all of the finalists. (My heart wanted 32-yr-old Sanne WEVERS to medal, but I’m happy for Rebecca Andrade, 🥉 of course.)
I use to be a gymnast. Before going to a gymastics club, I had self taught myself a lot.. Flip flops, back flips, and I was very flexible. I then finally went to a club, and was taught the proper way to do what I had taught myself, which the head coach was impressed that I had even been able to teach myself what I did, so after working hard for 4 1/2 years, He had put together a team to qualify for the Olympics. Unfortunately a year into preparing I had a serious knee injury from the beam. Which took me out of gymnastics for life. It took 3 surgeries just to fix the injury. However, I STILL love watching these girls do things that take a lot of hard work, precision, and dedication. Kinda jealous that I can't even do a backbend now. LOL. I admire these women. Gymnastics is not an easy sport to learn, and takes so much dedication. GO TEAM USA!!!!
The step Zhou took with the dismount really decided if she was gonna get gold or silver, Simone stuck her dismount which sealed it. Loved both routines. And the Brazilian princess Rebecca!! I'm so proud.
I'm still shocked a bit though since zhou had textbook execution. Still very happy for all the medalist regardless though. Rebecca's bronze was well deserved
@@murasakino101Zhou had beautiful execution on most of her skills, but the medium balance check on her mixed straight jump full, and all of her pauses before every skill is what I think put he in the spot(plus the dismount). Simone just did skill after skill with no pause or waiver with clean execution to boot
@@raquanwilliams5572 you're absolutely right, idk why I didn't notice them the first time lol. When she hits, Simone hardly wavers so she's bound to win unless someone has more difficulty. Hoping zhou tries for Paris this year!
You can say that again. I am happy that FIG allowed the free broadcasting of this tournament so that many people did not have to listen to NBC or any of the other US networks.
Shilese moves like a panther in the wild. I love her wide open attack mode form. Even with the mistake she is brilliant in motion. But bravo to everyone in the field here.
Simone is great. She does very difficult elements and does them quickly. However, I find the uniqueness and elegance of Zhou and Wevers stunning. I would watch them all day.
Woow , the Chinese was amazing , elegant , artistic with a great performance. Sane Weavers with a classic routine wonderful . Rebecca Is a Queen. Congrat.
Biles never fails to impress me and thats why i wish to be her one day and Rebeca did phenomenal i thought she would get silver again but bronze is still epic
She still is, anyone who makes a worlds final is amazing. She has really taken good care of herself, she looks healthy. I've seen so many retired gymnasts who end up looking years older than their age by 30, probably as a consequence of so many years of overstressing their bodies.
She makes it look so easy especially when one foot barely covers the beam. I had to explain this to my husband while we were watching her and he had no idea and I had to pause where she would put 2 feet down with one out to show him how wide it's not. We absolutely love her💙💙💙
This final was something... I was rooting so much for Sanne Wevers , but she missed EF by little, Gadirova was in but stepped out, then Sanne was in, HIT her series like she doesn't use to, was almost grabbing a medal but then Rebeca, who also isn't used to hit beam, did the beam routine of her life and took Sanne's medal. 😅
rebeca is dissappointing.. she needs to start training more.. tone her body and UP THOSE DIFFICULTY SCORES ... I'm tired of all these gymnasts just leaving it out open for biles to win.. where's the drive? where's the desire?
@@violetOHviolet doubt that any one of them has worked in a sandmine, so no, your comment is b00lsh1t. maybe they've worked harder than your B-A-word though
I wish people appreciated how extraordinarily hard turns and split jumps are on the beam but these gymnasts make it look so easy you’d never know, not unless you tried them.
@@caitlyngraham8480Totally agree. She showed COMPLETE MASTERY of the apparatus by being fluent while performing some of the most difficult acro skills on that four inch wide heart (sometimes ankles, shins, knees and definitely pride) breaker. She hit all her leaps and required elements so I am not sure what else the judges were looking for that she did not do that warranted such low execution marks. Someone suggested (jokingly I believe) that the judges in this tournament wanted to give the impression that the competition to the US and Simone in particular is closer than it really is.
Going back here again, Zhou's front acrobatic series was so good that she was able to perform her jumps immediately. She really landed that acro perfect and no balance checks. Beautiful.
I wish Zhou had won. So much originality, which is not sufficiently rewarded in the current COP. But Simone was just too solid on this day. Nary a waver and no pauses 👏 👏
The most interesting thing about this video is that Biles has 4 gold medals in Beam at Worlds, but Wevers has none. As for the Olympic gold medal, Wevers has one gold and Biles has two bronze medals. So we can see how bizarre Beam is. Biles is always on the Beam podium, but the Olympic gold is missing, which I really believe will come in 2024! Cheering!
Urara beautiful & calm on BB. Love Shafer's unitards cool! Zhang Quingying had a fall she was way over scored with a 13.100! I guess, execution only matters for certain gymnasts? Totally dominant performance from Queen, Simone on BB. Biles was boss of the BB here blowing away the competition. Zhou Yaqin well done. Sanne Wevers, such a beautiful artist on bb. A Queen of the beam her turns--masterful just a few wobbles. Sanne is Amazing age 32 love it! Face plant from Shilese, aww she will learn from it. Andrade strong performance w/a few wobbles. Andrade and Simone came back with a vengeance. Excellent BB final.
Yes, she did a great set but, that fall was very uncharacteristic of her, from what I've seen. Although, I'm sure these athletes get sooooo tired bc they have done so much gymnastics over the course of these worlds. I'd say she was exhausted!
@@ajimenez1719ify Shilese said after the US Championships that she is only 75- 80% fit and I saw evidence of that at the championships. She would wear a back brace before her routines and if you watched her feet before she dismount they were shaking which told me that she was fatigued. As such, I was not surprised that she did not have a good dismount afterwards.
Idk I kinda feel like the dutch girl was robbed of bronze..... Her routine was way more creative and difficult than Rebecca's, and both had good execution.
It seems that Zhou Yaquin had some problems, without these problems, her D score would have been higher (around 6.8). Her candle mount was not correct at all, and could not have been counted or devalued (maybe to B or C), also perhaps the connection after her side tucked full twist jump was not counted since she had a small balance check after this jump.
Anyone know who the commentator is? I've enjoyed his commentary very much, and I enjoy the time taken to appreciate and understand the routines instead of constantly focusing on deductions. I'll never go back to NBC.
The judges deducted Zhang Qingying for a fall on her Yurchenko loop in the team final, but for some reason they didn't here despite her making the same mistake. That decision ended up costing China a team medal.
@@eimardgomes1128She performed a solid routine in the team final but scored a mark lower than her qualifying score because the judges considered her awkward landing of the Yurchenko loop as a fall on the apparatus. But in the event final she scores the same again despite this time having two falls. The switch ring was a definite fall, no question about that, but that means the judges didn't count her awkward landing on the Yurchenko loop as a fall this time despite her making the same error. If they had counted it as a fall her score would have been a 12.1 instead.
@@Gazmeizster_Wongatronyeah I noticed that. In event finals, the yurchenko landing actually looked like a fall this time since she had to adjust herself to get back up properly. I feel like they should have counted it in team finals and should have just deducted her for it instead. As much as I miss seeing the skill, I don't think it's a good fit for routines in the current code unless it's really consistent
The thing of it was, the stumble on the beam was only a half mark- she didn’t actually hit the ground but stayed on the beam. It was considered grabbing the beam (in it’s own sense, same as Pauline). The E score actually represents that they counted it as a fall again. Other than those two things most of the rest was super clean, unlike in qualifying where there were a couple of hesitations on jumps and such.
I still cant understand how low in execution score the judges gave on gymnasts throughout the competition even with a seemingly perfect routine like biles here with only 8.300 and rhys on horse to name a few.
Ms Biles has set the new standard of all around gymnastics. She is flawless and had great execution on all the equipments. So happy the she has melanin. When people with melanin e cell at sport they set the bar for all others to chase. Can’t catch the GOAT.
Here is my problem with the judging: Simone Biles didn’t have 1 single balance check, she had a very small movement on the landing. How the hell is her execution score 8.300? The e scores were varying but most were in the 8.2 and 8.3. How is this possible when some of the others had several balance checks? It makes no sense whatsoever.
I’m with you! All others had major balance checks and yet she goes up and throws it down , not even 1 balance check and yet still E score in the 8s. I don’t get it either
Also it's funny how Zhou Yaqin and Sanne did not commemorate their medal positions, thought they deserved more... 😅. I'm not a fan of Simone's beam routine but she trully deserved the gold. Have no complains about the podium, although Zhou Qin and Sanne were my favorites. Judges were fair.
There is no way Rebecca should have gotten the same execution score as Simone and higher than Zhou. AND Zhou had more balance checks than Simone. Something is wrong with the judging. It does not seem fair.
I of course want my Country to win it all!!! But, damn, it breaks my heart when any of them mess up or fall. They've worked their WHOLE LIFE'S to be here.
That's bc she never quit practicing, she was only off from competing. Yes she took a little time off from practice but not enough to mess her gymnastics up.
Of course she never quit being in the gym but that does not equate to SERIOUS training. She admitted that she would go to the gym but only started to SERIOUSLY train about after her wedding. For some this might seem hard to do and accomplish but Simone has been doing this routine (except the mount) for YEARS. These moves are definitely etched in the memory of her muscles and so all that was needed was the concentrated practice to get back to competitive level. One could tell that Simone was NOT practicing for a long time because of how winded she was after her floor routines every time and she said so. When she has been back at training for some more months, we will see a fully fit Simone who will perform an upgraded floor routine with not as much heavy breathing that this downgraded one elicited.
Rebeca deu entrevista dizendo que odeia ser a ultima à competir e foi a ultima no pior aparelho dela a trave e acho que nem ela acreditava em uma medalha.
