Scoring system

I dont understand why people are so upset that Americans were not mentioned. This was about AG at the Olympics and key players in its evolution which are mainly the Soviets and Romanians for WAG and the Soviets, Japanese then Chinese for MAG. They dominated for decades. The US WAG really hadnt been such a powerhouse before 2004 Olympics IMO. Before they made dents like in 92 and 96 not counting 84 for obvious reasons. But besides that they werent dominant or innovative like those mentioned.

Because Americans look for anything to bitch and whine and be offended over 😂😂😂 I'm often embarrassed by the people of my country

And they were so right with choosing Musty and Uchimura on "and here's who to look out for" coz Musty came away as the most decorated gymnast and Uchimura made history with his 4peat victory. Plus the Japanese have a deep history in gymnastics as well as the Russians as part of the USSR.

Always...Comaneci!!!! She is the Queen of Gymnastic!

this documentary was amazing!! thank you so much for uploading it!!

Ohhh Mustafina I just love you... :')

Viktoria Komova♥!! Y Nadia talking beautifully sobre Mustafina!! ♥

OK, we got your point, but, as the man said: US brought nothing new to gymnastics. The girl from Athens was boring, and Khorkina's vault was underscored. I will not mention the UB score Douglas got in AA...15.7 was it? Please... They did not mention Shushunova, Schevchenko, and Boginskaya either, and they were part of the best team ever.

SEI UNA GRANDE!?!***, NADIA COMANECI!?!*, Nata IL 12November, 1961 Ti Stimo Tanto, Vanni G.❤⭐⭐⭐

Thanks for uploading this onto youtube

All the US domination has happened recently, this documentary was about the beginning and the early development of the sport in which the US played little part. In women's gymnastics the big names are Larissa Latynina, Vera Caslavska, Ludmilla Tourischeva and Nadia Comaneci. The only reason the 1980 Olympics is mentioned is to finish off Nadia's story. The US's 1st Olympic medal was in 1984 and when this documentary was in production Russia were team and AA champions.

I don't really understand what you're trying to say? MLR did get 10s but she wasn't the only one by a long way. She was special to the US but nowhere else in the world is she well known apart from dedicated fans of the sport. So no she didn't do anything different and what she did was contained in her own country which isn't what this documentary was about.

superb!

Comaneci ea sa nascut pentru ca Dumnezeu a dorit sa o iubeasca toata lumea prin perfectiunea miscarii pe care ea ca om o detine este superb sa te uiti la cineva cind aduce o miscare relaxata si nu dorita atit de mult dar perfecta de 10 si alya impusa

Or the Chinese women or the Romanian team golds or Lilia Podkopayeva of the Ukraine or Beth Tweddle or Louis Smith. Did you read my comment? This documentary is about the BEGINNING of the sport. And it's about the Olympics not Worlds. The only reason Kohei and Aliya are mentioned is because they were expected to win gold medals in London which they did. There's only so much they can include in an hour. Not everything has to be about the USA.

usa fans are so burthurt and immature. They just cant accept russia was mentioned here.

Ahh they showed Musty's helicopter legs on floor. I love her, but her twisting form kills me.

The whole documentary on 100m and 1500m and swimming. If you watched them and failed to notice Americans being mentioned then I can't help you. The intention was to inform the British public about a few landmark sports before the games. An hour for each sport to give a brief overview to gain interest. Nothing more than that. A historical overview of the landmark events that lead to them being some of the most popular events at the Olympic games trhen a quick "and here's who to look out for".

You know its true, Liukin is the only decent American gymnast and she is more Russian than American, the other American gymnast that deserves credit is Shannon Miller and thats it

ilove nadia

of course it is, that explains why the same series of documentaries featuring other Olympic sports (100m, 1500m, swimming etc.) was riddled with American sports stars probably more than any other nation. Look them up if you don't believe me.

Well no Americans ever changed the face of the sport in the way the gymnasts mentioned did. Larissa, Vera, Olga, Nadia have that claim so that was what it focused on.

Blitz1209 and Elena Mukhina!

Yeah, which is why I brought her up. I was just wondering if she did do anything besides getting perfect scores. Which you answered, so thank you. But anyways, I know that this documentary was essentially about the sport and what those athletes did to change it. With the well known comment on Mary Lou, I think she could possibly be well known for being the first gold medalist woman that wasn't Romanian or Russian.

And calling people stupid isn't a way to get your points across. If you keep it up I'll just delete all of your rude comments until you learn to say it in a way that doesn't offend or belittle, there's no need for it.

There were a couple of East germans who beat her to it. :) Karin Janz won the UB adn vault golds in '72 and Maxi Gnauck UB gold in '80. Also Vera in this Documentary was from Czechoslovakia. I think the main thing keeping MLR from being a great is that she never was a world champion, never even went to a world championships (and she obviously couldn't go to Euros)

The documentary is not about which country has more gold medals or the current champions, but the gymnast who changed the way gymnastics is done. Americans can rule know, but they do not represent a turning point. Do you want to know about an American who really changed a sport? Check Fosbury for high jump. He represents a revolution and his name will be remembered even if he "only" won one medal. Not always the numbers mean everything.

I think they should have counted svetlana khorkina into this documentary, she was a truly queen, and maybe Podkopayeva :), I dont think they mentioned Musty just because she was world champion, but because everyone knows she has what it takes to be the queen, actually when they showed Uchimura they said 2011 world champion, so there you go, no wieber here :)

I was all having oldie gymanstics feels but then Aliya and Vika popped up in Lake Krugloe and all of a sudden ALL MY FEELS CAME BACK AJFKSAJFKLAS

When did Nastia say that? Do you have a link to it?

where's part 2?

Does anyone know what the music is at the end of this?

huh but mary lou's performance was basically what started that trend where the us began focusing on short, stalky, athletic built gymnasts

Mustafina, the new idol in gymnastics

Totally agree especially about Shannon Miller part. Always was a big fan of hers.

In my opinion the last real Queen of Gymnastics or at least close to was Svetlana Khorkina. After that gymnasts come and go. I think Aliya Mustafina or even Aly Raisman could do great things, but only if they decide to compete for the next olympics and if they make it.

this was aired a week before 2012 Olympics so that's why gabby isn't mentioned

Not to sound annoying or anything but I think MissFueledByCoffee meant Mary Lou was the first non-Russian or Romanian to win the All-Around, not individual titles.

Hope you can agree the colors of the medals are more important. The 5-3-1 point system puts the US at 19 and the Russians at 14. I am happy for both teams. Russia came away with nothing in 08 so it was good that the bounced back.

Well did Mary Lou do anything different then compared to these other women? She got tens but I am not sure if she did anything that would be considered much more difficult than the women who you mentioned.

Well you obviously didn't see the rest of the series, the 1500m, 100m, swimming. They were all about something revolutionary. That was the point of the series. And they were all riddled with American names. Do you honestly think that not saying "and the USA women's world championship gold makes them a formidable opponent for the upcoming games" means that the BBC hates America and wants to put them down? It's a small pre-Olympic documentary about gymnastics, don't read so much into it.

The documentary focuses almost entirely on the golden age of gymnastics (until 1980) The years after the Moscow Olympiad are no longer part of that golden age. Americans came very late to elite gymnastics. They really arrived in the 21st century. And as has already been said, they did not revolutionize anything or change anything. They did not make history. History was written mostly by Soviets and Romanians in the 20th century.

eapoe23 she never got one , the scoring method changed

Only at the end looking forward to London because the majority of this documentary was made (and planned) when Russia were team world champions and Aliya Mustafina of Russia was the world AA champion and the US only had one reigining world champion (Sacramone on the vault)

Nastia got a perfect 10 aswell? They didnt mention her or Shawn

Summer 78 by Yann Tiersen :-)

Mustafina!

The difference in gymnasts nowadays is heart. I know it sounds so cliche, but it's true. If you truly love the sport, you'll rise to that challenge. I think Mustafina is heartless. I think she happened to excel in a sport because she happened to be good at it. Not because she loved it. Watch her reaction at the last Olympics. She botched her beam routine so bad, then had an attitude with her coach about it. I'm over her.

But you have to look at the colors of the medals as well. US got 3 golds while Russia has 1.

Have you ever considered that maybe it's you who's biased? Tha YOU are the one who thinks that something that doesn't include every little detail about something means that it's incomplete? That whoever made this documentary doesn't hate the US but that they wanted to give a comprehensive overview of something to INFORM? A small documentary about sport has little to do with politics, and I ask you again, did you watch the rest of the series where Americans were mentioned every 2 seconds?

Cit de nefericita este lumea asta

Yes the US won the most golds (on the woman's side) but in total Russia won more medals than the US.

You can't even compare female gymnasts now to the old generation bc gymnastics is so different. That said Simone Biles= Current Queen of gymnastics

Mustafina

Yes I understand where you are coming from. I was just pointing out that Russia came away with the most medals.

NO, in artistic gymnastics on the woman's side Russia won the most medals! USA won 5, Russia won 6!

And stop being so paranoid. The USA were uninteresting in gymmnastics for most of the time it has been an Olympic sport. They're dominating now, be happy about it.

She was the first non-European

sorry I don't count rhythmic gymnastics, they didn't include that in this documentary either

I love how they completely excluded all American gymnasts! Really?

Well, but they talked about the Japanese guy who competed injured in order to help his team win gold as though that were revolutionary. If that were to be mentioned then perhaps the 1996 U.S. women's team should have been mentioned. Dominique Moceanu deserved a nod, as did Kerri Strug.

Kerri Strug may have been average, but Dominique Moceanu wasn't. She unfortunately had a bad run at those Olympics. I think you're just against having mention of U.S. gymnasts. I could also name some non-U.S. gymnasts who weren't included and should have been. It has nothing to do with winning multiple gold medals. The gymnast from Japan who competed injured won one team gold. It has to do with a combination of contribution and courage, as well as a variety of other personal qualities that have made certain gymnasts stand out. Understand that.

MLR got thousands of gymnasts signing up after the 84 games so she did for her country and helped to get them here to London

This docu went up all the way to the beginning of London 2012 and included Worlds 2011 so it's not all early history. The first gymnast to win any medal in gymnastics at the Olympics was Peter Kormann at the 76 Olympics. And then US getting tons more medals at their next Olympics in 84 and so on is quite the feat. They should include the US wins the most medals in every Olympics and that includes gymnastics. Of course everyone likes to diminish the US because they hate US.

Yup and Bush Jr has been out of office for 4 years so which government are we talking about? Because that's what people always allude to. What country doesnt have problems like the high unemployment rate in Spain and Greece? US think they are better than everyone but everyone think they are better than the US because they are not a messed up country or something to that effect.

This docu is not complete. It left out the new scoring system. It mentioned Russian and Romanian coaches left their country but failed to say they went to the US to train gymnasts there. No Unified Team of 92. It's not just about bringing something new to gymnastics but the people who keeps it going. It mentioned China but the women have not placed as high as US. US women gymnasts have been top 3 in Olympics since 80s and top 3 in Worlds since late 90s.

But no mention that the US won Worlds in 03, 07 and 2011? And the other times in between they won silver. This docu is incomplete on purpose.

And they did focus on the new Russian gymnastics team, which has done nothing new for the sport either.

Odd that they did not mention the USA women's gymnastics, who for 20 years have had a major role in the sport, from Kim Zmeskal, shannon Mmiller to the three-pete Olympic Champions of Carly Patterson '04, Nastia Liukin '08 and Gabby Douglas '12.

Of course I am a little biased. That's why I said I wish I were a neutral country. I think there are great details they left out like Russian and Romanians coaches going to the US, the new code, US rising up to London and more. Of course I'd like to hear from the creators themselves what their true intentions were. If this docu was half politics then the US would definitely be in there. Just saying. I watched it all and dont remember any mention of US. Point it out for me please.

where the f*ck is part 2?

I wasn't quite calling people stupid. People will accept this documentary and not question anything about it. I wish I was a neutral country that didn't hate the US because I would say the same thing that it's not a very well rounded and complete story. But on the other hand you'll never hear anyone from Europe or others say "They left out US" because it's all done on purpose.

Believe what you want. You know this docu is biased. It left out too much including the new scoring system. Why does it always have to be about something revolutionary. Gymnastics has gotten us to this current point but all they did was talked about China, Japan and Aliya Mustafina. This is what's different about the rest of the world. They don't share if the don't have to. They produce movies and dont want US's involvement. US shares with everyone.

The only thing I did not like is there are no mentions of American contributions to the sport and their accomplishments, oh well....

What about the United States? Team USA? Not a single mention. WTF?
