Marta Karolyi typically used her fingers in a claw-like grip on the backs of the gymnasts' necks and she'd do this to both exert her control and dominance, physically and psychologically, over the gymnasts and especially to let them know when she was angry by digging her nails into their skin. Seeing her doing this 'claw-like' grip lets you know she's exerting her control and maybe letting the gymnasts know she's angry with them. It's awful to see.

She was in a very tough spot where those girls confided in her but to respect their trust, she couldn’t say anything, but rather be a backbone and a supporter and encourage all those women with secrets to come out and be brave.

The second individual spot is won by an all around gymnast/s, not a specialist - although it's won for the team and they choose who they want to have the spot. I'd switch Morgan in for Laurie and Mcykala Skinner for Eaker. Kara's beam does not hold up internationally so unless she changes it dramatically and gets rid of the ring jumps she won't win any medals anyway.

In my opinion, realistically, it will be: simone biles (because obviously), morgan hurd (Team USA needs her bars), sunisa lee (Team USA needs her bars), and grace mccallum/one of the brand new elite like Kayla DiCello, and Jade Carey as the 1 individiual spot. I like eaker and skinner, but skinner's form is consistently lacking (great difficulty, but loses points with lack of pointed toes, not reaching 180 degrees, etc), and eaker is fab! But my picks above like biles and jade are PERFECTION on vault and floor, but Team USA really needs great all-rounders with great bars routines, and eaker, memmel, skinner, etc do not have that, unfortunately. The 4 person team is forcing the US team members to be strong on ALL events.

42:25 "And maybe there wont be so many gold medals" couldnt feel anymore truer right now. The health of our athletes , and their overall wellbeing/happiness should be prioritized a bit more than it was before. They are more than just gold medals, i hope the fun of the sport shared all over the world can be shined upon more once again.

Athletes will force themselves, to the point where they compete against the coaches wishes. The thing is the control that is excerted on young gymnasts.

Let's talk about the CROAK that is her voice. I literally couldn't listen to it.

it's so incredibly clear how deep the complicity goes with the hostile, abusive environment--how can they do episode 5 about the inhumane training conditions that led to so much abuse of so many women and then in episode 6 celebrate kerri feeling that she had no choice but to continue on while injured? come ON.

Here I am watching this series knowing I will never be able to be a gymnast, but still watches gymnastics videos, documentaries, movies and tips.

I enjoyed so much watching this serie! Feels nice to put more light onto gymnastic

I've been watching these ladies since 1977-78. I remember being about 2-3years old making everyone be quiet when gymnastics came on. ONLY thing on TV that made me sit down that young and just be in awe watching all these talented athletes. ❤️❤️ Be proud of yourselves ladies.... Y'all did that!!!

Wonderful series. Kudos to everyone involved in these episodes. X

What a great series! So impressive! @Glamour looking forward to similar shows

Watching this series again because it is just so good. Thanks for making it.

this series has been absolutely fantastic

This series was beautifully done. Thank you Glamour!

You made it, Mykayla!

The entire series was great. And I love McKayla Skinner!

With there not being any crowds for the Olympics this time around, who needs a crowd when you got Mykayla Skinner on your team hyping you up and cheering you on. I love the tweet that they showed in here about that’s the college gymnastics spirit. It’s nice to see the college team experience on the Olympic gymnastics team.

Little Dominique moceanu is such a cutie pie, forever a fan.

Just finished watching. so good! Give us a season 2 focusing on men's gymnastics.

I don't like this whole 'College isn't like Elite. Athletes can speak up and express themselves. It's so much safer.' story when we know this isn't always the case.

There are some differences marked by the team element. Elite gymnastics also isn't always abusive.

@@MuzzyBarker Elite gymnastics is not _"always so abusive,"_ that is a very naive and sweeping statement; especially as the NCAA is the biggest silent culprit in all of this. Part of the reason abuse is so rampant in the U.S. is because if a gymnast doesn't peak by the time they are 18 and has to turn professional in order to afford their training etc (e.g. Jordyn Weiber), they have to forfeit their collegiate eligibility and subsequently their athletic scholarships. Thus as a result, American gymnasts are pushed so hard at young ages because their window of opportunity has been kept so small. Also the NCAA are FULLY aware of this and could have made exemptions for gymnasts YEARS ago, but to this day they have not.

@@MD-722 The ncaa recently changed some of their rules due to the Pac-10 basically forcing them to, but it amazes me that they never took into account the differences in being able to compete in gymnastics at a young age. They made exceptions for baseball if you were semi-pro, but didn't make the same for gymnasts.

Why did I get SO nervous watching the Magnificent 7 piece😂😂Like I didn't already know the outcome😂I'm SO blessed to have trained at Dynamo while Shannon was training for '96'! Those are sone of my most cherished memories.

Great episode once again. Although it annoys me to hear Americans talk about the 2 per country rule being unfair when America was one of the countries pushing for it back in the day. Was it 2000 when 3 Romanians stood on the podium? America needs to understand that one of the reasons they are top now is because of the 2 per country rule. It allowed their gymnasts to qualify for finals and get the sport noticed by the public. And of course with US money there's now a fully equipped gym in every town, if not more than 1 and all the worlds best coaches have flocked there for the money. Americans need to be a little more understanding of their privileges and advantages.

So cruel the way they zoomed in on Jordyn’s crying face.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience, really great, my best wishes 🙏

The fact of the matter is that Kerri had the weight of an entire nation on her shoulders. And a CHILD should never have to carry that burden. She suffered a minor injury and then had no choice but to vault again and seriously injury herself. And for what? The cost of her health and well-being. Not the gold medal. A calculator would have shown you they would have won regardless. Our NUMBER ONE job as coaches is to kept these kids safe. They failed her. She’s not a hero for vaulting on an injury. She’s a victim of a broken system... that’s still broken. It’s our job, as the new generation of coaches, to build a better environment than what our predecessor experienced.

This episode won a 2021 Producers Guild of America award for Outstanding Sports Program.

This was fun to watch! So many memories to relive

INCRDIBLE SERIES!

All of these people are absolutely amazing

Ugh I love this series

Excellent Story and inspiring leadership

FINALLY THE NEXT EPISODES ARE FREE TO WATCH

I’m in tears watching Carrie land on one foot and see that pain but winning!!!

I feel so sad for them all...waiting for the 2020 Olympics now this!

The girls are so gifted and talented, just so beautiful.

Good news Mckayla, YOU ARE PART OF THE TEAM!!!

I really hope skinner gets on the 2021 Olympic team

Aliya Mustafina is also an incredible gymnast. A real force to be reckoned with. I've always enjoyed watching her gymnastics and cheered her on, even when she was in direct competition with the U.S. team... She's just that amazing to watch.🤸🏻‍♀️🏅🇷🇺

We need this for Rhythmic Gymnastics!!!

This is the most awesome video on KZread😃...periodt

This was so interesting to watch! I would honestly love a version where you did this with men’s gymnastics and all of the insights!

Love how the background music turns sinister when it talks about the USSR dominating the game back in the 80s 4:25

It's so absurd that Mykayla placed 4th, twice. Yet was put as the alternate both times. They REALLY have something against that poor girl. So happy that she made the Olympic team this year, and they took people in the order they finished in the all around. That's so much more fair to the athletes competing.

Gabby hated gymnastics and competing by the time of her comeback and I'm sure she would have not wanted to do this interview. I have a friend who was a world champion many years ago and she really tries to move on with her life and not doing anything sport-related thing anymore, because she was hurt by the pressure and the fame and that everybody knows her "xy, the athlete". With that being said, I'm a huge fan of Gabby and would have loved to see her in these videos but I can totally understand if she didn't want to

The women are so awesome! I’ve enjoyed the entire series. The girls overcame so much, and I’m glad the program is better than what it was post Larry Nassar.

I love this show

Kerri landed practically on ONE foot! ❤I cried!

Fact check 3 up 3 count was introduced at the olympics in 2004 and those clips of Nastia and Shawn was the all around finals .
