For what it's worth, she deserved the Gold on Bars in Atlanta since Khorkina clearly hit the bar in Komova style. That aside, Amy had one of the most difficult vaults in the world with the double twisting vault on the old horse. Uber difficult! She was so talented.
@Janet Merone are you kidding? She didn't focus on it enough? She was on more than one Olympic team, won team and individual gold medals and it wasn't enough for you? Wow.
@@kelliknight126 I agree, I also didn't really understand that comment lol. She pretty much NEVER stopped training, even after the 96 Olympics. Most gymnasts take a year or so off after the Olympics, not Amy.
The interviewer was trying to make Shannon say something petty but Shannon has real class and says that it shows she's also human and everyone makes mistakes at one point , and that Dominique deserved this title.
And they are still friends to this day 👏🏼👏🏼. Check out Dawes’ speech when she was elected into the USA Gym HOF - Miller’s parents attended and she joked about how annoyed she was that Shannon always beat her 😂
@@JamesFrew1 Absolutely. This is how a classy rivalry is done. They pushed eachother to do better and always respected eachother AND were excellent teammates. I miss 90s gymnastics.
I much prefer Dominique's floor routine here to the one she used in 96. I can understand why she stopped doing the back to back tumbling runs since they weren't valued as much as they should have been, but her music and choreography here was much better than in her 96 routine.
LOL "Time is running out for Dominique Dawes @ 17". Little did the announcers know...she would not only stick around for the 1996 Olympics...but she would even be a Veteran at the 2000 Games and be a Leader for the "inconsistent" US team in 2000!!!!
He was right, it turned out it was her last shot to win the U.S AA title, as she would win it this year, and never come close again. Remember that is what he was speaking of, not her entire career.
The point he was making was she was aging out of the sport...he were not sure she would last until 96 let alone 2000. Although she did not win another all around after 94 she was a contender... even sweeping all 4 event finals again in 1996.
@@ArtByDesign80 Dawes was mediocre in 2000. The ONLY reason she made the team was the U.S were abysmal that year, and even then she was a barely and controversial choice to many. She did the AA in prelims in Sydney and was 30th something I think, even worse than she was in Barcelona.
I love Amy going over her bar routine afterwards with her coach. And 9.550? I know it had errors, but I can't believe the judges couldn't give her some credit !
Seems like so much of the judging had to do with reputation. I’m really glad she got a few changes to show this routine to international judges and win big later on.
They need to bring that kind of tumbling back by rewarding complex combinations. But to be honest, as crowd pleasing as it was, that style of tumbling never did impress the judges much. With the exception of a minor me in 1992, Dawes was always underscored on floor exercise. So much so that she actually completely abandoned her signature pass before the 1996 Olympics, in favor of a double layout mount (which had a higher value). Shame!
i think for everyone who watched Dawes lose not one, but TWO world championship AA titles with nervous mistakes on the last event, this was a victory for the ages!
So glad 6/7 members of the 96 team totally destroyed the “only young girl” narrative that the media kept trying to push. It was exhausting hearing the commentators call these young women “too old.”
I love how back then everyone was so stuck on small heights, tiny body types & young ages. Look at gymnasts now! They are more mature, some in their 20's & Oksana Chusovitina being in her late 30's. Everyone, whether a new senior or a world stage veteran can be just as talented and up for the same shot at the Olympics. I'm glad the sport has evolved from eating disorders and boxed ideas of perfect gymnasts, to just a sport of amazing women who are athletic & graceful. It's how it should be :)
Graceful??? Hmmm. I don't think so. Look at the beam world championship 2017. A MESS. No mastery of skills, no expression/dance , overtimed routines , etc.... I think true grace was from the 50's to late 90's.
Just goes to show how wrong these predictions were, like the one touting all the upcoming juniors as being the nucleus of the 1996 Olympic team. Mocenu was the only junior from 1994 who made the 96 team-the rest were already seniors.
+taminator664 I'm so glad that USA looks to older teens to anchor the team now. They are at their best and can deliver more than just the skills. Nothing better than seeing a floor routine done with personality, which takes time to develop. It was a silly prediction and the Mag 7 changed that perception forever.
These judges were so biased and smoking crack! How the hell did Miller score a 9.400 on the beam when she basically fell on the dismount? In addition to the mistake on the mount, that should have been an 8.900. And seriously, a 9.9 on the floor exercise - wtf? She only had ONE difficult tumbling pass in the beginning, and she visibly messed up the landing. Dawes routine was way more difficult, with no noticeable mistakes, yet scored basically the same. And how did Miller's second vault score higher than the first one when the first was better? So biased!
+captainbryce1 She was getting the treatment of a two time reigning World AA Champion and five time Olympic medallist (at the time)... It is unfortunate and still happens today. Successful gymnasts are almost always given the "benefit of the doubt" when it comes to scoring :/
Shannon was always overscored. She didnt even deserve her AA world titles in 94 (Kochetkova and Milo both should have beaten her) or 93 (she won with a big mistake, Gogean and Lysenko should have beaten her). Her entire post Barcelona career was basically the judges bending over to make up for her so called controversial AA loss in Barcelona.
Still getting pity marks for not winning in Barcelona as some thought she should have. A parallel is Elvis Stojko who controversially lost in Lillehammer and got overscored the rest of his career to make up for it.
Dustin Gabe No no no. Dina was still low on difficulty on other apparatus. And Milo was very shaky and tight on all her events other than floor. Get over yourself.
Classic from Steve there. 😂 as iconic, amazing, awe inspiring, and world class as Shannon is, it’s kinda crazy she only had one national AA title. Just an insanely deep and talented US team during this quad.
It’s funny how wrong the commentators were. Other than Dominique M, the Magnificent 7 were all “old ladies”. I do like the foreshadowing when Dom M did her bars, the background floor music was titled “The Magnificent 7”. Also I’m biased, but I miss classical music on floor routines.
I don't know which was funnier, the voice over saying Shannon Miller had to be worried about younger girls coming up or smaller ones. Imagine being 17 years old and less than 5 feet tall and considered too old and too tall for your sport.
IMO, Shannon's best iteration of her UB routine was 93. The difficulty was there, the composition was right. it just felt like a fully squared-off elite competitive routine. Plus, i am a sucker for a free-hip hecht 1/2.
I love Amy's hand positioning at the beginning of the floor routine that she did. I love how elegant she looks (Amy) not only on floor but on every event!!
Shannon, Dominique and Amanda really changed the idea of age in women’s gymnastics. They were on that team in ‘96 and then Amy Chow and Dominique were on that team in 2000. Moceanu was the only 14 year old on Olympic team. Here they make it sound like the young ones are the only Olympic hope
i also think, with the changes that have resulted on a greater focus on difficulty, (in recent years) a lot of the grace, dance elements have been lost. its most obvious when you look back on these routines in the 1990s; floor and especially beam. in beam now days, next to no handstands being held, in various poses - which used to show the gymnasts control and strength; on the floor, i think few things look more beautiful than a single layout with a step out (like at the end of a couple of shannon's tumbling runs) - its so elegant, and the height the gymnasts get, coupled with the apparent 'slowness' in comparison to the double somersaults - but not 'wroth' anything in terms of difficulty. maybe the solution is to add 10 seconds to routines, so they can still aim for more difficulty, but allow for grace still ..
At 37:27....that judge looks just like the same judge that had that wonderful "O" expression when McKayla Maroney did her vault at the 2012 Team Olympics. I wonder if it's the same person?!
Anyone know who the guy (presumably coach) is at 1:58? Sounds like he makes sense but wondering what time has told about how true he felt those words are as indicated in action.
Agree. It's the hangover of the Nadia era. Even the format of this competition was asphyxiating with the coaches forced to wear a live microphone to be part of the drama.
a transition is a type of release, it goes from one bar to another. A release can occur on one bar, like a tchatev or a geinger where they let go and regrasp the same bar. Im sure my spelling sucks, but I hope that makes sense, haha
😂😂😂 seriously ? Americans don’t know that ???? Alexandrov was her coach until Bela took her from him and then the whole story started with genius bela , new American hope and blah blah blah .
Remembering that all young girls are women, Are meant to be little girls but they Always will be blessed that they are my favorite and we don’t want to forget that
Ive been watching years 93/94-00 over and over, and i love being able to see the progression they make through the years, the skill they have and the dedication. Its awesome to see, i just wish with everything going on with every bad coach and doctor that these girls didnt have to go through such terrible conditions. But I'm glad it's been shown to the world how terrible they were. Mr penny and Larry nasser are disgusting.
Veronica Young yes......it's the same person. Alexander Alexandrov coached in the U.S. for a while before taking over as Head Coach for Russia (if my old memory isn't mistaken). :-)
looking back at these comps years later with the benefit of hindsight its never bee more apparent that raising the minimum age for the Olympics from 14 to 16 was by far the best thing for athletes, especially gymnasts. i think it would be even better if they raised it to 18. Having to be older has meant their bodies are stronger; so many of these gymnasts look under weight and unwell (Shannon less so here, but at age 15 she looked terrible, quite unwell). Older has meant stronger bodies, and with the likes of simone biles - more exciting gymnastics. Its also terrible how hard these young girls are training - simone biles and shawn johnson both trained a lot less than most gymnasts; their coaches recognized more, is not better - just made higher risks of injury.
Nunno was just so obnoxious. All his talk was for the cameras, not Shannon. I still can’t believe how they talked about their weight. And 17 was “old”. Ick.
@Johnny Kim the athletes of today are still small. They look taller than what they really are, most if not all professional female gymnasts range between 4' 7" to 5' 4". And at those heights you can not weigh very much and still be able to do all this. All gymnast should be healthy. None of these gymnasts mentioned in this video had any type of eating disorders.
Amanda Borden looked really cute back then. In one competition back in 1993, tim dagget said a stupid thing about this poor gymnast which i disagree on: "amanda is a great gymnast, but she doesn't have enough difficulty and experience." Isn't that just stupid? These days, tim dagget reminds me of pennywise from it, trying to be happy and smiley. It gives me the shivers just thinking about it.
I'm confused. You didn't like him for being too critical, but you also don't like him for being too nice? Sounds like you just don't like him no matter what he says.
