Katelyn Ohashi story makes me feel so emotional every time I hear it. I was a competitive swimmer and started when I was very young as a way to cope with my father's death as a child. I loved it until I didn't because it became expected to be great. Whenever I didn't live up to those expectations I would feel like such a failure. I can't imagine ever being good to be in serious competitions so to listen to her story just crushes me. Getting injured and being forced to quit the spot was an incredible feeling but also a huge loss. Something that I had loved and then hated for so long was just gone. I am able to appreciate swimming more now but will never have that love for it like when I first began.

I don’t care how many times I’ve watched it; EVERY time I see Alexandra finish her Olympic floor routine and place her hand first to her neck, then mouth *I CRY WITH HER!* I get so overcome with joy and an immense amount of pride that I can’t help it. I love her, y’all! I just love her!

I love Alys parents they were so cute and fun to watch during the Olympics. I am so glad everyone is so supporting of each other!

This makes me miss gymnastics soooo much. I did it for nine years,I had to quit because of a back injury when I was about 13. Gymnastics is what made me who I am today. Im so strong not only physically but mentally and emotionally. I adore the sport

Nastia’s gymnastics was so beautiful to watch.

I love this documentary! So many icons of this sport, past, present, future all here. I love that we got to see their personalities, Olga telling us she said ‘hello, big man” was hilarious! Love that Laurie was a huge part of this video, I initially clicked for her only but I would watch this again with pleasure and click as many times as I come across it, all because of these remarkable athletes, that’s how much I love it. Thank you for this documentary, it is perfection.

I loved Aly Raisman’s floor routines. I fell in love with her powerhouse and sassy yet still graceful routine in 2012 and it’s amazing see how much she pushes herself at her age at the 2016 games and I’m disappointed that we probably won’t get to see her again in the 2021 olympics 😢

Wow amazing. So much respect for Ally as she realized her Silver was actually her Gold and at that moment it wasn't all about her....what a great team her and Simone!

Such a beautiful sport

I loved that they gave aly's first pass the honor it deserves! As they should!

Watching Nadia and Olga on TV is what pushed me to immediately start doing gymnastics, I was in total awe of these girls.

Olga Korbut is a such a sweetheart oh my goodness! 🥰

Katelyn ohashi makes me sob and feel incredibly happy at the same time, I love her

I started crying as soon as it cut to Aly's entrance to Rio. I remember watching that live in 2016 and crying along with her when she finished her routine, just so thrilled for her and moved by her emotion too. Hearing her talk about it just makes me feel it all over again. It's too bad she didn't get an all-around gold, but if she had to lose to anyone, at least it was to SIMONE BILES, a friend too.

I even need to go to Wednesday and Saturday Math intelligence school. But I got used to it as years go by, nothing really happened much. But that was a lot of years ago and i can still remember memories of my dancing competitions, ballet and math championship. I wish i could feel that again too.

All the talk of "Limitless" and "limitless girls" feels real gross in the context that so many female gymnasts have been physically, emotionally and sexually abused by people in power in the gymnastics world. Several adult gymnasts have come out and said that being told to ignore pain, hunger, and fear caused them severe long term trauma and shouldn't be celebrated..

The parent’s do not commonly know because the girls 1. do not know how bad they are themselves and 2. do not tell them. Most gyms do not allow parents to watch team practices for a variety of good reasons though it opens the doors for some bad situations. I promise you that the mass majority of parents of these athletes are in no way turning their heads to the abuse that has occurred. This is a cultural shift that is taking place, but like any change in cultural norms, it will take time. Do not set blame on people about things you do not know or understand. I was a gymnasts in a gym that bordered on abusive for me, was abusive to others I know of, but because of my parents instilling the lessons and sense of self that I have plus what I learned in that very gym, I was able to leave before things went to far. It still side swiped my family to see what had happened. I had covered it up because I didn’t understand it. That is extremely common in any high level sport, athlete, and in mental health as well. Look at how many abused persons go back to their abusers. Look at how many abused children cover for their abusive parents. It is all the same psychological loop.

I’m really enjoying this series, but it’s so heartbreaking to see these women over and over again talk about how much they worried that they would let *other* people down if they weren’t perfect. I don’t know of another sport where this pressure to perform for others (not teammates, but people outside of the competition) is so ubiquitous.

Spondylolisthesis... A terrible back injury. I sustained this injury when I fell on an icy ski slope (I was an amateur) when I was 33. The injury has caused me to quit skiing as a hobby, I can't place my back in flexion, it must be avoided. Required years of PT to help stabilize, no surgery available I am told. Could result in paralysis of the legs, urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence in severe stages. This poor girl, to have sustained this injury so early in life. I am crying for her, I feel her pain. She is my idol, she could fly and all I wanted to be was like her when I was her age! I am in her camp, I wish we could speak about this injury together.

I trained as a gymnast back in late 60's and early 70's, mostly because I loved the sport and not so much because I had ambitions to go pro. I started my training way too late (I was 13-14 yrs old) and I knew was too tall (5'-8"), but I did my best and while I did compete, I never did well in competition. Not doing well in competition didn't really matter much to me, I just loved more than anything else the strength and flexibility of my body, until I set my left foot wrong for splits and ending up tearing cartilage in my left hip joint. That was the end of my gymnastics and now, 50 years later, I have hip surgery scheduled for repair of the torn cartilage which has been injured many times since the original injury 50 years ago. But truth be told, it's a price I would pay again in a heartbeat. There is something just so wonderful about feeling the strength and flexibility of one's body that only gymnastics can bring to you...

Wow Nadia, number 73, I am blown away...and she was a child. Speechless...

This whole docuseries made me cry so much these girls have so much grit and are so absolutely wonderful

Seriously, if y'all aren't watching collegiate gymnastics, you're missing out on a whole other world. The team aspect, personality, and crowd is just FUN, and they're still doing incredible things pushing the human body to its limit. Having a bad day? Watch the PAC-10 championships, or the National Championships, or heck, any weekly meet. You'll feel better!

That was freaking amazing! So happy that Aly Raisman is in it!

So good to see Nadia Comenici, our perfect 10

Who else is screaming when they saw Laurie used some of her old choreography 😍

Gymnastics is the most beautiful, breathtaking sport 🥰

Nadia Comaneci (paraphrasing): "I got 10 because the girl before got 9.9, and I was better, so they had to give me 10. But there were some mistakes." Now that is a champion.

Idk why I just got addicted to gymnastic videos since early 2018 but I’m not complaining tho🤷‍♀️

In our schools back in the early 80’s we had the same mats that the wrestlers used with no type of bounce at all and I had shin splints that I can still feel at age 50 not to mention the arthritis throughout my entire body. It was so fun but we had no coaches who could spot us, no foam pits to practice moves on.. essentially nothing and on our own. It’s amazing to see the changes in the equipment alone and I wish I could’ve known what it was like to tumble on the modern equipment.

Not me crying because I see everyone else living my dream 🥺 but I'm proud to see where they are now

Can you imagine? being 16 and competing with Gabby, Aly, and Simone❤❤❤

This series is so amazing. I cry almost the whole way through each time with each episode. It brings me back to being a little girl tumbling around the gym. I never did make it there but watching all these old clips of my heroes and seeing them older as I am today and hearing them reminisce makes me FEEL it all over again. Thank you for this series. As Katelyn says, it feeds my soul.

10:55 No Aly. We may have been disappointed but you never let us down! You made us proud!

The way these girls can move is amazing. I have such respect for them.

I started gymnastics at the age of 25 and I thought I was way too old for it but few months in I already did my splits and cartwheel before corona hit 😍

Yassss! Go you! Well done, and good luck! At some points it'll be hard to trick yourself into doing something because your adult brain will block it. Keep going, you can do it!

@@kikibirdball haha yaa I know exactly what you mean by my adult brain will block it. It does take a lot longer to get used to it.

I love this- my mother was in the running to be an Olympic qualifier she was so good- but then she got pregnant with me at 16 🥺♥️ she wouldn’t change her life for the world I know but she could’ve been a champion, she was a champion. We watch all the gymnastic championships and worlds and Olympics every time they come on ♥️my favorite tradition every year.

I’m so happy they included Katelyn! Her 2019 performance was my favorite routine out of every gymnastics routine including Olympic routines. Her first pass was sick ! I love whatever that’s called and I think more ppl need to do it! Lol

Untold story.just love 💕

Great video! I wish they’d interviewed Shawn Johnson. She was always one of my favs!

8:00 Love Aly's response to her mom. :)

I love how Laurie encourages herself all over her apartment with the sticky notes.

The nap game is real as a gymnast

Hi Mykayla Skinner love your channel and your gymnastics

I'm glad that this came out because it's great to be able to talk to other gymnasts who can relate to what you've gone through. When I started competing, all of my cousins started to do the same. It was kind of awkward, but after a while I became proud of them when they gained a new skill or executed a skill well. Being able to inspire people to do the sport and being able to speak to other who understand you about the sport that you love is satisfying.

Mrs Val is amazing! Going to miss watching her coach. And I loved what she said to Kaitlyn, ‘congratulations, you found your childhood again’. I’m still searching, but it was nice to hear that someone else does understand the true root of our individuality and finding what makes us happiest.

One of the best sessions ever.. Two best mentors,one magical experience. Thank you sandeep sir☺️

as a dancer,i give so much respect to gymnasts,its so beautiful and i wish i could've started earlier with dance and did gymnastics, you are really powerful when u can do both
