What the hell was the cameraman thinking when Cheng Fei did her vault?? That's possibly the worst angle for vaults -.-

The camera work for this competition was horrid. Few closeups, mostly far shots. Cheng Fei's vault was completely missed. Alicia's vault was not shown live, rather they chose to show us a Romanian girl getting READY for her bar routine. UGH. Bart and Tasha do a pretty good job though.

I'm happy I get to watch but this broadcast is the definition of AMATEUR. The announcing and camera-work are not very good at all. Really makes you appreciate the NBC broadcasts.

I prefer Bart's commentary when with Kathy Johnson. They're a good commentating team! They vibe well. Tasha, however, has a more aggressive style LOL

yeah you did and that was insane, alicia should have had a medal

They didn't show Semenova's Tkatchev to Giant Full!

I love how when they said "the grace of gymnastics" they had Jana Bieger on floor, the antithesis of graceful gymnastics.

It's good i think Monica Rosu's in 2004 was the best tho...you should check it out

its so wierd when you realize that none of the champions here went on to win that same event in the olympics for the women at least. strange how much can change in a year.

So true.

like cheng fei at the olympics on vault!!!!

It some person name Nastassia Marachkovskaya. I think u have to look it up.

For example - he consistently says Ksenia Semenova's name Сем-я-нова rather than Семёнова.

Bart watching the Chinese on bars: Oh.... Ohhhhhh.... OHHHHHH... Ahhhhhhh! They just slaughtered Ksenia Semenova's name

all of yang yilin's kips look struggled

oh my goodness

WHAT'S WITH THE LOUSY CAMERA ANGLES????? Filming a vault from behind and below??? Seriously... Appalled by this And as for artistic gymnastics, I think we have lost the artistry over the years, sad but true. Too much going in to difficulty now and the rest is wafting half the time, esp beam and floor. Don't take me wrong! It is amazing what all these young women are capable of but technique is technique, bring the artistry back please. NOT the gymnasts fault!

I love you Tasha but you do not need to yell into the headset, we can hear just fine.

And Ash-lin/ash-leen, not "Ays-ling."

Wait... How is Semenova's name pronounced? All through the olympics, they said SEM-EN-OV-A but her they're all SEM-I-EN-OVA

I have no idea lol

her name can be spelt like Semyonova as in russian it means Semyon's son

06:31 of course you like it! Chinese messed up and US team hit it...if US would screw up I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like it :/

how is this 35 minutes?! lol doesn't youtube limit to not only 1gb, but also 10 minutes? (which I think is stupid.) there are many videos that can be well over 10 min. and under 1 gb.

It's not Dee-a-nay. It Diane. Like die ann

Yes he does. Ya ruskaya - ya znayoo. He has chronic problem with getting nervous when saying them and he emphasizes wrong syllable.

lol she learned that from Bart!

haha yeah I noticed that too and was somewhat annoyed... as the commentators they should be objective and impartial.

Kind of like the President, no? I'm American and I can pronounce them all.

what a pronunciation!! "nice performance for DNA???" what the hell??? her name is Daiane!!

Maybe my ear is just trained to hear it a little harsher. You are right though - it is not as bad as could be. It is especially difficult for English speakers because Semenova chooses to spell it in this alphabet without a yo english sound written in. I must commend him for not calling her Se-men-ova. Many other english commentators do tend to pronounce a bit better than him though. Although many of those commentators are not as knowledgeable about gymnastics as him.

no Maroney is the best to do it
