Amanar's tumbling ability was insane. Whilst most gymnasts were using one or two easier passes to fill out their routines, she did four high level tumbling passes that would still be competitive today almost thirty years on!
Keep in mind that the floor was not as springy in 96 as it is today, and neither was the vault, so Amanar did her vault from a horse that didn't have as much bounce.
Que buen oído el de Simona Amanar, con todo el ruido de los gringos, y ella hizo grandes aterrizajes, mis respetos para ella y que buenas gimnastas eran las rumanas.
I think Romania was the only country to go 24/24 hit optional routines. And they only had 6 gymnasts who all had to do All around. Looking back now, wow. So solid, so consistent and such difficult gymnastics.
Unfortunately, there was no way to overcome the American home field advantage, questionable judging, obnoxious crowds and the Bela Karolyi/Kerri Strug circus act.
@@gaelgarciabernal2434 I mean, Romania benefited from plenty of that questionable judging on compulsory bars and optional beam. They had to use two of their alternates and were still down a team member--that hurt their chances more than any other factor.
@@gaelgarciabernal2434 OMG what an idiot. You come on here with 3 different aliases and still criticize any American gymnastics for the past 10 years at least. Get a life! The Romanian team was lucky they got third. No grace or originality in any of their routines. The US was clearly the deepest and most talented team in Atlanta.
Why not just call it what it is? The Romanian Women’s Floor Exercise rotation during the Team Optionals still would have gotten people to view instead of that clickbait thumbnail.
The person who runs this page is honestly so embarrassing. Mislabeling athletes, competitions, and clearly not a gymnast. And this is supposed to be the official gymnastics TH-cam page or something
It is horrible to watch how disrespectuful the american audience is. All the hysteric and excesive screaming about the american perfomances certainly afected the other teams in order to hear their music, not saying how psychologically affected them.
I think Milosovici suffered from not being out later in the lineup. She def was stronger than Gogean but the judges loved to do their whole “we have to let scores escalate instead of accurately judging what’s in front of us.” Other routines suffered from this as well, like Borden’s optional beam.
Lavinia should have been second to last in the lineup. She was a stronger gymnast than Gogean in my opinion, but obviously their coaches made that choice.
Yeah, I did see her on the beam in the background, but she wasn't featured at all. As someone mentioned they'd still get the views had they aptly named it the Romanian floor rotation of the '96 Olympics.
Didn't you watch on NBC? They showed all the athletes, not just the Americans. Now these days thats all they show is Americans and it has become unwatchable.
So the Americans were artistic with their gimmicks and prancing? Lol! Alexandra Marinescu alone had more distinct choreography and originality than the entire American team.
@@gaelgarciabernal2434 LMAO!!! She has nice lines and flexibility. That’s about it. She was never given worthy choreography so your comment is bullshit. Moceanu had more expression in her starting pose than the entire Romania team combine 2 times over.
@@tambam6744 Nonsense. Alexandra had excellent choreography, and expression. She was also the only Romanian who could dance. But then she was a Bucharest gymnast. She wasn't trained by Belu and Bitang.

@@alazjaw.8968 I have admired Japanese audiences who are literally waving American flags for Nathan Chen. I think we ought to compare ourselves to the best countries, and not the worst.
It's on their home soil and their athletes are competing simultaneously as the Romanians. You want them to cheer for another country while ignoring their own athletes who are performing? Grow up and grow a pair.
@@aarnemark Your embarrassing yourself thinking a Nation should wave foreign countries flags as their own Nation is competing. You do realize there are 4 events all happening at once from 4 different countries... It ain't figure skating 1 at a time. If you watched the full broadcast when the U.S. is not competing the crowd cheers for other countries. Dip 💩.
The audience are annoying, still remember when Galieva can't even hear her floor music because of the audience scream loud when the american will perform😌
The audience was cheering for their athletes- something they were more than permitted to do. Every crowd has been like that in every sport. If the athletes didn’t train for that, it’s on their coaches and not the crowd!
The audience didn’t know that they couldn’t hear their music or that the cheering was loud enough to be disruptive. Had they known they would have toned it down.
This fool names his video amazing unforgettable performances of Atlanta games but yet USA is getting the crowd pop from the audience lol there were a lot more memorable amazing performances besides the whole freaking Romania floor exercise team lol
The gringas are robotic, sorry the Americans hahaha, from Carly Patterson, Raisman, Douglas to Jade Carey, all of them are more robotic than a robot, zero elegance and femininity, only acrobatics with a level of difficulty.
This is a horrible video!!! Apparently, the judges didn't think the Romanians had amazing routines, because no gymnast score above a 9.0!!! The Americans was the team that won the gold medal; I am pretty sure they had some amazing routines that should have been included in this video.

@@dannymorales7143 and the beam apparatus final
It was pretty remarkable with all the injuries they had. I still find it surprising they didn’t have any alternates to fill the gaps in.

@raulvega4016 I almost didn't watch it because I thought it woukd be another American rehash.
Titles do matter.
Amanar was just amazing. You didn't see too many with 4 difficult passes in the 90's!!!! Just simply magficient.
I think this should be titled something to do with the Romanian team since that’s the only one that’s actually featured in this
Turgulans routine was amazing ! That huge huge HUGEEEE full in !
That was a treat to watch! ❤😊
Stunning routines, all hit👌🏼👍🏼💪🏼😲
All the hysterics Americans screaming over the Moceanu exercise when the Amanar floor was absolutely stunning and THE BEST score in the Olympics 96.
lolll

I always thought Borden's optional beam deserved 9.8
Lavinia should have been second to last in the lineup. She was a stronger gymnast than Gogean in my opinion, but obviously their coaches made that choice.
Why did you put Dominique Moceanu in the thumbnail when she’s not in this video at all?
I was just thinking that..
Yeah, I did see her on the beam in the background, but she wasn't featured at all. As someone mentioned they'd still get the views had they aptly named it the Romanian floor rotation of the '96 Olympics.
Who cares. Why does the American government have voting when they don’t care about the voters?
Clickbait for views
Totally Awesome!
Thanks for posting! I enjoyed seeing our American team win but it would have been nice to see other performances.
Didn't you watch on NBC? They showed all the athletes, not just the Americans.
Now these days thats all they show is Americans and it has become unwatchable.
change title to ROMANIANS ON FLOOR 96 OLYMPICS
This is the Romanian team?
Yes!
Respect!
Qeens!
Cele mai bune ,Echipa României a fost cea mai grozavă
I think this is the best floor rotation ever in the gymnastics history! Just a very rude public for not aknowledging it.
4 or 6 gymnasts per event. Wow things have changed
OMG what an amazing flawless floor rotation for Romania and not even a clap from the American public! Do rude!
Most probably someone made a mistake and titled the video with the wrong name
It's clickbait, not a mistake.
Wonderful team , I love team Romania.
I think that Romania were scored low , because they were competing in the US.
It’s because they had no artistry or expression.
So the Americans were artistic with their gimmicks and prancing? Lol! Alexandra Marinescu alone had more distinct choreography and originality than the entire American team.

Not one single out of bound for all of them combined.
Amazing gymnasts. Annoying crowd.
Bela ginasta,ma nos dias de hoje não chegaria aos pés de Bielss e Rebeca.

Why is there an Aussie girl in the thumbnail?
I really hate the Romanians choice of floor music. They might as well be performing in silence. It’s less distracting.
I swear, the Romanian FX Music sounds like it came from some awful Dracula movie....

Definitely the worst audience ever.
WRONG TITLE Cuz these routines had ZERO personality. Not to take away from the skill level just very robotic They were def forgettable.
I think Marinescu’s is excellent
like americans ''today'
That’s says a lot about yours 😂😂. Same as the crowd, selfish and disgusting
