- Olympic gymnast Lance Ringnald analyzes the beam and floor work of Olympic Champion SHANNON MILLER with side by side comparisons and split screen insights. Lets take a closer look at her legendary execution and gymnastics.
One of the greatest gymnasts of all time. Tbh I think she was robbed of the AA gold in Barcelona ‘92
Either way you look at her gymnastics, she was a legend to me and after looking closely at her gymnastics, I got the feeling as good as she was, many people did not know how good she was.
She will always be my favorite gymnast over everyone ! She was just so beautiful to watch. I watch her over and over again . She's always been so incredibly humble too.❤
Everyone does.
I always have loved Shannon's routines. Like many others, I thought she was the one who deserved the AA gold in Barcelina, '92. What an exemplary gymnast.
Oh how I missed the early 1990s USA WAG where they had better form ,elegance and artistry unlike now.
Yes, I have spoken to many that feel the same. I am amazed at the skill level these days but I wish they would give a higher value to the artistry and elegance of the sport. My best
I absolutely love Shannon Millers gymnastics, difficulty, grace and excellence. Thank You.
Had a great time doing her analysis. Great generous and great person.
Love watching Shannon. SHe's my favorite from that era.
She had beautiful artistry and lovely use of arms between all the elements of her routines. It was refreshing. I especially loved her on beam.
You pointed out many of the things I admire about her. Sometimes she was just impossibly perfect. Her back roll to handstand on beam was breathtaking and
when she did two in a row I just gasped at her control and precision . NICE .
Yes, looking at her in slow motion and very closely I was even more appreciative of her skill level, execution and incredible gymnastics in general.
One of the greatest American gymnasts ever. National, World, and Olympic Champion. She had the difficulty, she had extremely clean execution, artistry, musicality, and she had mental game like no other during this time. Her Miller on beam is still iconic and she has some of the best hop fulls on bars I've ever seen. Her 92 AA vault will forever be the most perfect piece of gymnastics ever. ❤❤❤
Thank you for this. I was a club gymnast in England in the 90s, and I was 15 when Shannon competed in BCN. I spent the summer of 92 watching and rewinding my VHS tape of the All Around recorded from the TV! After a whole summer watching every minute detail, it was clear to me that she was the best gymnast there. Still don’t understand why her first vault in AA didn’t get a 10. I’ve always thought she was such a special gymnast. Thanks for giving her gymnastics this analysis! All the best
Thank you and I’m very glad you enjoyed it. She was truly a great gymnast and she’s a great person as well. Rock on.
She, and the rest of the Magnificent 7, is why I love gymnastics so much!
They sure did have such a positive effect on the gymnastics world and many gymnasts. It was a great generation.
One of my top 5 favorite gymnasts of all time! Her grace and elegance are legend. Her extension was on par with any Russian/Eastern Bloc gymnast. Just gorgeous.
I agree. The closer I looked at her gymnastics, the more impressed I was.
I miss the graceful artistry of Sannons era of gymnastics. She will always be my favorite now and then
I really appreciate you spending so much effort in putting this together! Your analyses are so easy to understand. I’m a huge fan!
Thank you very much and I am glad you like them. yes they do take more time and effort than many might think but I really enjoy them and I am still a strong fan of the sport and these athletes. I really like to get it the way I think it is insightful and good. Rock on and thanks.
Thank you for that! I think she did like doing the Valdez. I put one in my beam routine when I was young because of her. She’s one that you just can’t take your eyes off when she’s preforming.
Yes, I think she did have a special like for Valdez and it is a pretty skill. thanks and all my best.
SHE’S the GOAT!! I admire her so much.
My favorite US gymnast. Her and Nastya
Ugh, I love her style. She gives me goosebumps.
Shannon was so good. Loved her gymnastics
Yes, look at her closer and you see how great she was. Really impressive stuff really enjoyed putting her video together. Rock on and my best.
my first inspiration of this sport
I have a question. Why does it seem like such a big deal for gymnasts today to do a dismount from the beam that is a full twisting double back tuck? Shannon and other gymnasts were doing it just as a normal dismount way back then (almost 30 years ago).
Its an interesting point. In my view it is a testament to the great level of Shannon's gymnastics.
Shannon Miller was a beautiful gymnast!
@@shawnaweesner3759 yes, in my view she was exceptional. Such great execution and gymnastics awareness. A great gymnast.
Bro I love your analysis!!!!!
Rock on and thanks a lot. Glad you like them and I enjoyed doing them.
very nice and interesting thanks a loty from france
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you. All my best.
Her back extension rolls are so smooth and elegant. It may look less impressive than what we see today but I'd rather see this than the horrible triple wolf turn we keep seeing today.
@@mdml0 hahaha. I understand and I hope the Wolter goes away also.
Shannon is one of my favs. She was the queen of hiding corrections, especially under the previous code. This code, however, would have eaten her alive. But she most likely would have adjusted to it considering her perfectionism. She was a gorgeous gymnast with excellent musicality on the floor (Floor is where I really decide if I like a gymnast lol).
That is said very well. She was so quick and adjustments and body movement to hide the micro adjustments. It was hard to tell when she was off.
Her legs are not bowed. Maybe that’s why her technique is so good because of the natural shape of them.
@@JosedeJezeus very true. Her legs were naturally clued together in her gymnastics. Every body is different and hers fit gymnastics incredibly well.
Did I understand you correctly? Did you say "Her slender body type contributed to her elegance?"
Yes, this goes back generations to the power house Elena Shushanova. There are definable power houses like Kim Zmeskal or shawn Johnson and there are more definable elegants like Nastia Liukin or Svetlana Bokinskaya. Different body types with different strengths and styles. All great but very different in their approach to their gymnastics. They can both be powerful and elegant but their styles and approach are obviously different.
@@OLYMPIANTEACHES-bh6gp Yes, Nastia reminded me so much of Shannon. Those that have ballet training!
@@OLYMPIANTEACHES-bh6gp Great answer .
It's just surprising that you'd praise a 90s US WAG's slenderness when they were trained in an abusive system that fueled eating disorders. It's no secret that the Karolyi's severely restricted access to food at The Ranch.
Those caloric restrictions not only contributed to physical and psychological injuries, they were also exploited by Larry Nassar. He gave gymnasts food behind the Karolyi's backs to win the trust of young girls.
I totally understand that different body types lead to different styles of gymnastics. I also understand that there are slender gymnasts who don't have overly restrictive diets. In a different context, your comment would be nearly innocuous. IMO, this context matters immensely.
Case in point: Vanessa Atler.💔
In truth, it wasn't necessary to mention body type at all. Posture, extension, relevé, flexibility, fluidity, balance, and agility are all so much more important. Those are the things that make Shannon one of the all-time greats. Those same attributes are why Suni Lee and Melanie MJDS are sometimes just as elegant as Shannon with different body types.
A person I love was driven to anorexia by a coach who believed that you had to be underweight to succeed in gymnastics. I sincerely hope that people like her never come across this video. For my own mental health, I'm unsubscribing and turning reply updates off. Feel free to tell me I'm "overreacting" because I won't see it.
@@karyon1007 Shannon didn't have Karolyi as a coach. She had her own natural body type and was not abused nor starved, nor was she a victim of Nassar. Correct assessment of USA Gymnastics previously, but posted in the wrong context
1992 LOL 😂
Simone Biles rules!
Shi & the other black girls & Asian girls have taken gymnastics over! Lol 😂
Give it up dude!
I was 19 in 92' I'm 51 now. Lol 😂
Simone Biles rules it all!
Haha. I am now 54. Gymnastics sure has changed. I still remain a fan. Yes, Simone is like a super ninja rules. She has a normal conversation or a little bit off day. She will still win. Very rare to see someone that dominant in any sport. She’s the Michael Phelps gymnastics. So cool to see the new levels they take gymnastics. We’re all getting older ha ha ha so we do the best we can. Rock on my friend.
