Gymnastics: Your Best Meet Ever! Free FREE GYMNASTICS: YOUR BEST MEET EVER! PDF Rita Brown | 167 pages | 30 Apr 2013 | Rjc Publishing | 9781938975004 | English | Longwood, Fla., United States GymnasticsHQ Mindset Meet Journal Every four years, the Summer Olympics rolls around, and the world tunes into to cheer on their country! In the 28 sports and events that make up the pinnacle of athletic competition, arguably the most popular is gymnastics. These athletes fly through the air, flipping, spinning, and sometimes falling, captivating viewers across the globe. While the men have had their fair share of fame, the biggest moments in gymnastics have been accomplished by women. Nadia Comaneci achieved the first ever "Perfect 10" on the balance beam in Montreal. Mary Lou Retton strung together a mind-blowing all-around victory in Los Angeles. Who could forget Kerri Strug? Innewcomer Simone Biles won hearts across America with her high-flying dominance, and all-around domination! With all of the memorable moments though, there are also some embarrassing ones. Whether it's a badly-timed facial expression, or just an unfortunate fall, many of these gymnasts are subject Gymnastics: Your Best Meet Ever! some humiliating photographs. These are the NOT "Perfect 10" moments that don't always make national headlines. Chalk up for 15 of the most embarrassing pictures of female gymnasts. In this photo, you can see "Peanut's" 'Oh, no! While the photo itself is pretty embarrassing, the keyboard warriors of the world decided to troll the gymnast. A hoax circled around the web that Johnson's leotard ripped in this picture, with images of her netherregions censored. Shame on you internet, portraying America's sweetheart like Gymnastics: Your Best Meet Ever! But, Great Britain's squad has been on the rise recently, and has been looking to make it's way to the podium. Unfortunately for the team, superstar tumbler, Ellie Downing, took a nasty fall in qualifying for Rio. She was in the middle of her floor routine, and over-rotated on one of her jumps, bouncing neck first into the mat. Even though Downie's injury would have kept most gymnasts out for the duration of the games, the English warrior toughed it out, and finished off two vaults. She came in 13th in the all-around competition, and Team Britain came in 5th in the overall. Despite her heroic comeback, Downie's neck-first fall still makes our list of embarrassing gymnast pictures! Not all the gymnastics competitions in the Olympics focus on the core events. Take the trampoline for example. Back in the Games in Sydney, the IOC introduced the Gymnastics: Your Best Meet Ever! sport in the gymnastics competition. This is not your typical backyard bounce! These athletes put together a string of quadruple flips and spins that give audiences motion sickness just from watching! With all those gravity defying moves, you've got to imagine that Gymnastics: Your Best Meet Ever! ladies are using every ounce of their energy to complete their tumbles. Gymnastics: Your Best Meet Ever! when the "trampoline face" comes into play. As you can see from the photo, American trampolinist, Sarah Vinsant, strikes an awkward pose whilst performing her aerial stunts. Another less popular aspect of Olympic gymnastics is the Rhythmic Competition. While artistic gymnastics focuses on jaw-dropping aerials, rhythmic gymnastics spotlights the flowing beauty and choreography of these contorting athletes. An event sincethese ladies use props such as ribbons, hoops, batons and balls to highlight Gymnastics: Your Best Meet Ever! balance and beauty. Rhythmic gymnastics is to artistic gymnastics as ice dancing is to Gymnastics: Your Best Meet Ever! skating: they are both fascinating in their own ways. Although these women aren't launching themselves into the air, there is still no Gymnastics: Your Best Meet Ever! of embarrassing moments in the event. Take Russian competitor, Yevgenia Kanayeva, for example. She is a two-time all-around Olympic champion, and is known for her technically difficult routines. With that level of dominance and expertise, comes popularity in the Gymnastics: Your Best Meet Ever!. This cameraman caught Kanayeva uncomfortably contorting her body with a face that says "What the hell am I doing? Team Russia, in the gymnastics arena. Gymnastics: Your Best Meet Ever! the Games in London. During the team competition, both powerhouse countries were vying for a spot atop of the podium, and the Gymnastics: Your Best Meet Ever! was deadlocked. But, nobody in America saw her fail! Due to the time delay of the broadcast, NBC edited out the Russian fall, trying to create more drama for the viewers. Critics and analysts were extremely upset, since instead of showing the true events of the contest, they just used the tape-delay to create suspense. While Afanasyeva's fall is truly embarrassing, it's even more shameful that NBC drew out the event increase viewership. With the recent announcement that North Korea would be sending athletes to Pyeongchang for the Winter Olympis, we want to shed some light on another North Korean athlete, Hong Su-Jong. While it's short of miracle that the PRK would even let this gymnast out of the country, Su-Jong exceeded expectations, medaling in the vault and uneven bars during the Asian Games back in While she failed to qualify for the finals in the Athens Olympics, most sports junkies on the internet recognize her from this embarrassing photo on the uneven bars. If you look further into her life though, you'll see that her legacy comes with some scandal. Back inan age dispute erupted, and officials couldn't determine if Su-Jong was born in or Would we expect anything less from North Korea? These ladies run at full speed, bounce Gymnastics: Your Best Meet Ever! a board, push off the vaulting horse, then launch themselves into the air, contorting their bodies, in hopes of sticking the perfect landing. The combination of speed, technique, and balance, leads to moments of greatness, but can also lead to embarrassing photos, like this one of Indian gymnast, Dipa Karmakar. In Rio, Karmarkar shocked the world with her "Prudonova" vault, which is one of the most high-risk, difficult moves in the sport. Unfortunately during the landing, she landed on her backside, which led her to an eighth-place finish in the finals. While you can't tell from a video of the event, the judges docked her for the mishap. If you didn't know any better, you would think that Karmakar was channeling her inner Super Saiyan! While many people will say it's fake, this picture is indeed genuine. The unnamed Chinese gymnast appears to be showcasing her skills on the Balance Beam. As she jumped into the air into a split, she threw her head back to demonstrate her flexibility, and a photographer happened to snap her at exactly the right moment. I couldn't believe it at first either, since the picture truly looks altered, but we know it's real, and it's hilarious! These headless photos aren't a rarity either. Sports even has a massive gallery of headless gymnasts from the Beijing Games. Beware of going down this rabbit hole though, you may be Gymnastics: Your Best Meet Ever! over your head! Do you know that feeling right before something bad is about to happen, and you can't do anything about it? Well, that was the facial expression of British gymnast, Ruby Harrold, on the uneven bars Gymnastics: Your Best Meet Ever! Rio. You may not think that a professional gymnast would have such a worried look in the heat of competition, but Harrold had taken a hard fall during the European Championships just a few months prior. Fortunately for the youngster, her look of concern did not translate to failure, and she helped lead her fellow countrywomen to a fifth-place finish in the team competition. After the Games, Harrold called it quits in the gymnastic world, retiring at only years-old to pursue an education at LSU. Although the spotlight now shines elsewhere, we can always remember her for that moment of unease during the Games in Rio! The blonde beauty was destined for greatness at a young age, as her parents were are both Soviet gold medalist gymnasts. She made her Olympic debut Gymnastics: Your Best Meet Ever! Beijing inhelping the Americans to a silver in the team competition, but winning gold in the individual all-around event. It was an embarrassing moment for the former champion, as she lay face down on the mat in disbelief. This would be Liukin's final moment in the spotlight of competition, a disastrous finish to an otherwise storied career. It's amazing how much poise and discipline these gymnasts exude, and there is no better better event that exemplifies these qualities than the balance beam. Spinning, flipping, and twirling their way to a perfect score, performing on the four-inch wide beam is the ultimate test of concentration and athleticism. But, as you can see from the photo, it also leads to some horrifying fails! While Australian Gymnast, Olivia Vivian, helped lead her team to a sixth- place finish in Beijing, she will go down Gymnastics: Your Best Meet Ever! history for this embarrassing photo from the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Fortunately for the Aussie, she maintained her composure, and finished fifth in a field of thirteen. Most of these embarrassing photos of female gymnasts are ridiculous facial expressions, or an untimely fall, but that's not the case with this entry. Colombian gymnast, Jessica Gil Ortiz, was participating in the floor routine in the World Championships, but had Gymnastics: Your Best Meet Ever! severe fall in one of her tumbling runs.

Passion for the Olympics In October 2011 McKayla won a world title on her best event, vault, at the 2011 World Gymnastics Championships. Maroney got her own individual podium moment after landing an Amanar vault (a roundoff onto the springboard, a back handspring onto the vaulting table and a flip with 2.5 twists off) and a layout Podkopayeva (roundoff onto the board, a half-twist in the air before the vault table and a front flip with half twist off). She was unrivaled in the difficulty and execution of both efforts, and averaged 15.3 points for the two vaults, more than half a point above silver medalist Oksana Chusovitina of Germany. The world title on vault has seemed a long time coming for the California gymnast, who first attracted attention when she completed the uber-difficult Amanar at the 2009 Junior U.S. Championships when she was only 13. She stuck the same vault cold at last year's U.S.

  • Harrold and Tunney Make World Championship
    04/10/13: Great Britain’s Ruby Harrold and Rebecca Tunney placed 17th and 19th in the women’s all-around final at the 2013 Artistic Gymnastics World Championship in Antwerp. Both girls, competing in their first World Championships, were hampered by problems on beam early on in a competition that was won by American Simone Biles (60.212) from teammate Kyla Ross (59.332) with Russia’s Aliya Mustafina taking the bronze (58.856). The British girls were in the same group and began on the beam. Rebecca had a long wait on the podium to begin her routine, starting with round-off straight she couldn’t quite stick the landing and fell; a good double pike dismount scored her 11.966. Ruby followed up and unfortunately also had difficulties, her flick layout was out of line and she couldn't hold on and with another fall on her change ring she scored 11.066. On the floor Rebecca stepped out on the first of her explosive tumbles but fought back beautifully to perfectly stick her remaining passes ending with double pike and scoring 13.000. Ruby produced an outstanding floor routine, the huge crowd clapping her along, she landed each of her tumbles dead to score her an impressive 13.700. On vault both girls performed the double twisting Yurchenko, Rebecca landing perfectly to score 14.866 and Ruby, with a small pace back scored 13.900. Finally on bars, Rebecca Tunney started off well but couldn’t quite make it over giant half and fell, she jumped back up to finish strongly for 13.033 and a total of 52.865.

  • Elitedaily.Com March 5 , 2018 Mckayla Maroney's
    EliteDaily.com March 5th, 2018 McKayla Maroney’s Comments on Larry Nassar Could Have A Wide- Ranging Impact By: Alexandra Svokos March 5, 2018 Former Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney shocked the world when she came forward with allegations of sexual abuse against disgraced athletic doctor Larry Nassar in October 2017. While the cases against Nassar had been going on in courts for months, in the wake of the #MeToo movement, Maroney was the first household name to publicly announce herself as a survivor. Maroney's comments about Nassar launched a wave of other high-profile gymnasts going public with their own allegations, including her "Fierce Five" teammates Aly Raisman, Gabby Douglas, and Jordyn Wieber. Since coming forward in October, Maroney has been largely quiet — she did not make an appearance during Nassar's public sentencing trials in January 2018, although she did have a statement read on her behalf. But that doesn't mean she's done talking about it. In fact, on April 17, Maroney will be the featured speaker at The New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (The NYSPCC) 2018 spring luncheon. The organization was established in 1875 to protect children. This year, Maroney's appearance takes place in the midst of Child Abuse Prevention Month, where the luncheon will serve as a fundraiser for NYSPCC's protection programs. "McKayla Maroney is an amazing example of a survivor who is now speaking out against someone that was very powerful in his field, and she along with all the other gymnasts brought him down. That is a tremendous success story in the field," Mary Pulido, the executive director of NYSPCC tells me in an interview for Elite Daily.
