Shannon Miller - 1996 Olympics Team Compulsories - Uneven Bars

[makT890]

@gymnasticsloverxoxo, Agreed.

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

@luv4cookie1 Kotchetkova's routine was beautiful, beautiful kips, high free hip hetch, and the best compulsory dismount and on top of that was very artistic. Shannon's was clean for the most part but rather boring.

[uwoeric]

Man, if it wasn't for the LB handstand this should be the highest scoring routine. Even with the handstand I think it deserved 9.85, certainly when compared to like Milo with a step.

[FireDannyAinge]

Can you stop being stupid?

[QueenieQue]

Aside from being short on the handstand on the low bar, she had the BEST handstands in that routine. Fabulous.

[crazy4gymnastics4224]

that's my bar dismount!!!!

It's in a compulsory routine, and it's a D. that's strange. oh well, i'm not complaining, it's a D.

[481095ymg2]

i know, thought it was weird too.

[russianskatingfan]

LOL at Elfi Schlegal saying she was capable of better then a 9.850. Since when was Miller scoring high 9.8s on bars at this point in her career. Also forget about Milo and Amanar's scores since they were retarded to begin with. Kochetkova, Khorkina, Podkopayeva all were better then Miller on bars and scored below 9.850.

[caramelcreamsauce]

Amanar isn't as retarted as you.

[GymSkateFan]

You don't know very much about gymnastics do you? Everything you say is wrong. Khorkina was betetr then everyone on bars but Dina was a mess on that event. Milo was worse then Dina and Simona was average.

[russianskatingfan]

Yeah Dina was such a mess on bars that she was in every bars final on the event from 94 onwards, and regularly outscored Miller on bars. Looks like you are the one who doesnt have a clue. Shannon wasnt even the best on the U.S team on bars, Dawes and Chow were much better, so of course there were many in the world better on bars by then.

Also I never said Simona or Milo were that good on the event. I said their compulsory scores were a joke anyway so were not good measures. Learn to read.

[FireDannyAinge]

Dina was a mess on bars. In fact she was overscored. It was her worst event.

People should just ignore this nut. She has 20 names literally at youtube and thumbs up herself. Sad really.

Dina was an average gymnast. Weak on vault, overrated and repetitive on beam and good on floor. Her bars were horrible.

Judges aren't your best example of legit conversation when half of them are retarded like you.

[caramelcreamsauce]

I do not thumb up myself. I only have one account and this is it. I don't really care about thumb up thumbs down. Although I do agree, Dina is not all that on bars.

[caramelcreamsauce]

Sorry about the retard comment :D. I didn't mean it. I thought Amanar was scored fairly...she had a beautiful routine. And no, Miller is NOT capable of anything above 9.800. Yes Milo was way overscored. There was something about her bars that just didn't look right.

[russianskatingfan]

Amanar's compulsory routine was very nice you are right. Her optional bars isnt as good as her compulsory bars. Milo's form on bars and vault by 96 was kind of fugly. She was never my favorite gymnast but by 96 she was a much weaker gymnast than she was in 91, 92, or 94.

[caramelcreamsauce]

Yes - Milo really lost it. Her form was never as beautiful and clean as other gymnasts to begin with (Milo's TC UB score was so high with that ugly landing step).

[gbnflipsta]

what is the release from low to high called?

[rfillangi]

Free Hip Hecht

[boytoyville]

She recieved the highest score for the U.S. on this event in compulserys. Why did she not compete in finals, some for floor.

[FireDannyAinge]

Jackie Fie had her scores lowered on bars in the team finals and she threatened the judges with not being allowed to judge if they scored her higher then Fie wanted. Fie hated Nunno and wanted Dawes in the finals.

[estevan82]

who is jackie fie

[TheAviator8289]

Did Dawes make it to finals? Did that woman get in trouble for that?

[russianskatingfan]

Dawes made it to the finals as the highest American qualifier. Chow who actually won silver in finals scored lower then Dawes in the team event, so even if Miller had made it it is Chow who would have been bumped. Good thing for you Americans she didnt since Chow did better then Dawes, as well as better then Miller would have done in bar finals. The U.S would have lost a silver medal if Chow had been bumped out of bar finals for Miller.

[rfillangi]

If Chow hadn't been in the final and tied for the silver Dawes would have won the Bronze (she was 4th) but Chow deserved to be in the finals period.

[russianskatingfan]

Yeah so Jackie Fie, if she did lower Millers bar score in team optionals, actually cost Dawes a bronze medal on bars. Had Miller been in finals instead of Chow then Dawes would have won a bronze medal on the bars behind Khorkina and Bi.

[metsdudenj]

@rfillangi The Chinese gymnast didnt deserve to be tied for silver with that low dismount, she should have tied Dawes for BRONZE

[russianskatingfan]

Because Chow and Dawes were better then her on optional bars and outscored her by more then she outscored them on compulsory bars. The optional and compulsory scores are added together and only 2 per country make it.

Dawes: compulsory bar 9.762, optional 9.850

Chow: compulsory bar 9.762, optional 9.825

Miller: compulsory bar 9.775, optional 9.787

[whipback]

In my opinion this was the best compulsories uneven bars routine of the olympics.

[gymns411]

This really was the best compulsory bar routine. Lavinia Milo. got a 9.85 and she had a hugh step on the dismount....so rediculous that Shannon only got a 9.775.

[dbhmr]

I agree. Her handtstand before the free hip hecht was a little short, but every other handstand was completely vertical. Her opening section on the highbar is superb.

[Doug1233]

9.775
