Gymnastic FAILS That SHOCKED The WORLD..
Welcome back to Sports Dive, today on the channel we are going to recall The gymnastic fails that made fans go WILD. The gymnastics vault is methodical. “One small step, you know, one inch is a really big difference,” former U.S. Olympic gymnast Elise Ray says on the new podcast Blind Landing. “It completely plays a factor in your run and your hurdle and your entry.” Ray was a top contender in the all-around at the 2000 Sydney Games—until it came time to vault. She flipped at the wrong angle and crashed hard on the mat, nearly landing on her neck. “I thought it was nerves, I thought my steps were off… something that I was doing,” Ray says. “I blamed myself.” The mishap is still one of the biggest mistakes in Olympic history. In Blind Landing, host Ari Saperstein talks to several vaulters (some are speaking out for the first time) about how the error in measurement cast doubt on the entire competition—and put them in serious danger.
In July 29, 2000, Ray won the U.S. Gymnastics Championships after landing a Yurchenko double full, one of the most difficult vaults at the time. It also secured her spot on that year’s Olympic team. “The absolute pinnacle, right?” Ray says on Blind Landing. “It’s what everybody wants.” When she fell on vault at the games one month later, she chalked it up to nerves. So did many of the other gymnasts who also fell. It wasn’t until Australian gymnast Allana Slater questioned the vault’s height that the gymnasts began to realize what was happening. “I’ve spent countless hours on vault, and I just remember thinking to myself, that vault looks low. That really looks like a low vault,” Slater says on the podcast. More on The gymnastic fails that made fans go WILD when you finish this video.

It’s not funny it’s not fun for the crowd it’s not good and you shouldt say that
sometimes people think falling backward when your spose to do a back tuck or anything back and then you second guess yourself and then everyone thinks your so hurt and they think your crying like you broke your neck but you are laughing so hard that your crying and everyone is so Concerned 😅😂❤😊
I'm glad to see there are others who don't think the mishaps are best referred to as, 'funny'. Olympic level athletes are riding the very edge of what's possible and a 'mishap' can result in very much not funny things including death.
Why u clickbait with Oashi's image on this video? I never have seeing any of this as embarrassing moments but as concerned for their safety. They put so much time and practice into their routine. These athletes will never stop amazing me. Like someone else mentioned, these are athletes and aren't ever seeing that way. They're awesome in what they do.
Kind of embarrassing saying Gabby Douglas is Canadian and Nastia Luikin went to the 2018 Olympics
HAHAHA THE RUSSIAN GIRL WAS SO SAD SHE MADE SECOND PLACE HILARIOUS GREAT VIDEO HAHA THE CROWD HAD A GOOD LAUGH… delete your channel
Not even accurate… The first photo of Ellie Downie is actually her sister Becky and neither of them are called DownING.
Gabby D po Douglas was not Canadian. She is American and was born in Newport News Virginia. Please get your facts right.
The thumbnail on your videos are suggestive and crude. The picture of you putting a 😮 emoji and using a point when it could be considered suggestive is beyond rude. Have some respect for these athletes.
2:30 "for the Canadian" ?? Well, ironically, the poster of the video gets his own embarrassing fail. 😳
“Gymnasts are mostly made up of young girls so emotions can get the best of them”? You’re joking right?
7:27 why would you look back and laugh at something that almost ended your career
You talk nonsense you show NOTHING
2:28 Canadian? Gabby is from the USA
Click bait
First their falls were not funny second this is click bate-
Gabby
I just figured out why this 'channel commentator/owner,' uses the words 'hilarious, embarrassing, shocked, laughing, fail, etc, to describe the gymnist performance (when obviously it's nothing of the sort)
1. Clickbate
2. Trigger words
to make us the viewer/subscriber react to his descriptions and therefore we FEEL indignant to what he has said, we immediately want to respond with our comments – and just like that his 'viewer count' goes UP!!!!
WE SHOULD be giving him a 'dumps down' 'dislike' to show our disapproval 🤨
I relate to that Gabby Douglas beam fall. I’m an XCEL bronze gymnast, and while I was doing a handstand on beam, I landed on one foot and my other slipped. I saved myself by swinging my foot under the beam and holding myself up like a koala but if I didn’t catch myself I might have gotten terribly injured
Not him calling it hilarious when talking about how she almost fucking died 😭
Why is this doofus calling all of these accidents hilarious. And saying the fans thought they were hilarious?
jordan chiles
That girl was a spoiled poor sport and an embarrassment for the country. Not good at all.
There's nothing funny about most of these, and I very much doubt, the athletes, looks back and laughs
Recuerden que son humanos, y se agotan con tanta preparación y les exigen mucho
I have made note men don't compete and by the looks of things probably cant.
Soon as you put Obama in your video about gymnast that ruined the whole thing!
You are missing Katelyn Ohashi`s big fall when a piece fell off of the balance beem and she came tumbling down hard on her neck.
Yes we work hard every day. We feel pushed and overwhelmed, it hurts mentally and physically. (I’m a gymnast if you didn’t catch on) I did gymnastics for three years this will be my fourth.
Pq a foto da Oashi? Apelação. Vídeo mentiroso.
No surprise your video has more dislikes than likes. Katelyn Ohashi clickbait.
She was clinging to the beam because if you come off the beam completely you are disqualified. If you get back up without touching the floor you can try to finish your routine.
The Olympics are an unnecessary and an obscenely irresponsible expenditure of money. They also exhibit a cockeyed sense of priorities. Funds that are wasted on the Olympics, would be more aptly used to improve the lot of life, for all people in the world. The impression that I get, with respect to the Olympians themselves, can be summed up in a terse, albeit accurate assessment. The participants in the Olympic games collectively exhibit the same annoying characteristics.They all appear to be over achieving & self-serving show-offs, with a selfish & hidden agenda. They parade around and masquerade themselves as 'Patriots', for their respective countries. The only worth while organization is the "Special Olympics". The participants do it for pride, not for vanity
