I knew it's extraordinarily difficult to perform these acrobatic moves; but until seeing even those head and shoulder above others (Mustafina, Biles et al) doing horrific swings... that I came to appreciate Nastia Liukin's words: that if you make one tiny error, at the beginning, the error just keeps growing from one move to the next and eventually you'd just fall off (which normally isn't more than a second or two)... This was why Suni Lee's UB routine, to get the Bronze --- she and Nina Derwael (first Belgian to ever win a medal in the Olympics) were considered two of the top best on the UB --- was supposed to have been a miracle, since she started out wrong & yet was somehow able to go through with the whole thing without falling!

She got mental blocks on bars because of that damn Comaneci release, beam at the 1999 world championships and all her mistakes at Olympic trials. The only difference is Vanessa couldn’t speak up about what she was going through and was unable to quit because of the pressure from the adults that were supposed to help her and ended up failing her tremendously as well as the Karolyis being in charge, I think you know what happens when I say that. She didn’t want to let anyone down and her mental health suffered because of it.

I remember watching a video where they said that very early in gymnast learn how to fall.

I dunno how many empathetic "OOF!"s I uttered watching this, cringing at some of those misses! Bars were actually my favorite event when I did gymnastics, but I busted my forearm near clean in half doing a round-off backhandspring on the floor in the ninth grade and just watching gymnastics is a really tense experience for me now. The slightest over or under-rotation can be so painful, and I realize how much force is generated by just the momentum alone and how the tiniest error in judgement or position can be SO dangerous. It's really impressive what these girls can do, but the anxiety makes it harder for me to really ENJOY watching it as much now knowing how easily it can go terribly wrong... I knew it the second I realised I had broken my arm that I would never do gymnastics again because it just wasn't worth the risk if I wasn't doing it at an elite level where it might be worth a career or something. And at 14, if I wasn't that good already, I was never going to be that good. I had seen better and younger girls get injured before too, and I decided the acrobatics were not necessary to enjoy the artistic/performance part of it and tried out for the Dance Company instead. And I did THAT with my arm still in a cast up to the shoulder! Suited me much better and not nearly as scary.

My respect for gymnasts grew even more after watching it. These ladies make it look so easy and smooth but in reality doing all these routine is hard af.

They ARE human. It was nice to see them not be perfect. It just shows how much work this takes.

That was painful to watch. So much more appreciation for what these athletes do. They literally risk their lives daily. Wow!

00:55 That move seemed cool

This would be terrifying to even learn. There’s so much room for error

1:07 that one is funny tbh

Uneven bars remind us the 10000 ways in which gymnastics can actually kill

It shows just a handstand is so difficult on the bars, and now I think of Nastia Liukin who has really really beautiful handstands

simone has been pretty consistent over the years on bars. pre 2018 comeback her bar routine was clean and simple and I think aimee did a good job in getting enough difficulty in there but keeping it simple enough for her to hit and just get through it. it wasn't her favourite but usually most consistent because of the lack of flashy skills. post Rio she was still only fell a few times domestically but they were never as bad as some of these (more due to a misplaced hand or not getting far enough over the bar)

She fell so 1.000. If there is no fall the maximum execution deduction may not exceed 0.80 per element. Body alignment in cast to handstand (-0.30), bent arms (from -0.10 to 0.30), leg separation (from -0.10 to 0.30). Those are a few possible deductions I picked up. The element was also "poorly executed", so judges might not even have credited it.

The bars are way too flexible. It doesn't make the athlete spring with accuracy. This sport is becoming way too ridiculous, and cheating. One shitty bar for all sizes, kids and adults, yeah? C'mon, WTF, hello? Some athletes are light, some are heavy, just watch how the bars flexes different for each athlete, big and small. Bring back the stiff bars like we had back in the 70s. Bars weren't guitar strings in those days. This is just cheating. No wonder they miss catching the flexible bar, e.g. 3:35. What thickness diameter is the bar? And what size hands do young athletes have? What size hands do adult athletes have? You don't fool me, people. Just try it 🤨
