Videos: Podium training at the French International

Firstly, I feel compelled to note that before you'll be able to watch most of these videos, you'll have to endure 30 seconds of ad for a new ABC Family show, or maybe 15 seconds of that awkward cell phone commercial where the father is hunting for his daughter at a park-and-make out spot overlooking a town.

Sorry about that (it's Examiner.com's doing, not mine), and here's hoping the content is worth it. I've heard complaints that an eight-second clip of someone vaulting does not merit the 30 seconds that come before it, but I suppose it depends on how badly you want to see Tatiana Nabieva almost-but-not-quite make her Amanar.

The reason I put the clips up as they are rather than cut them together is that it takes a good deal of time to upload files that are very large (that is to say, more than 1:30 or so.) By doing it this way, you're getting to see the gymnastics several hours (yes, hours) before it would be up otherwise.

I'm trying to alleviate this by posting the time of the gymnastics in the video by the video link. This way you know what you're getting for putting up with the commercial. That being said, sometime in the future I promise to release a cut of these clips together, grouped by gymnast, or by event, or something like that.

I would also be most appreciative if these clips were watched on Examiner.com and not uploaded to Youtube. Enjoy the videos, and thank you very much for following! -- Blythe
