Magnificent 7 Documentary: Anything To Win (part 3)

[Hereismytwocents2011]

Shannon Miller had a nose job and her teeth done. They almost look too big for her mouth.

[zeldafreak701]

I think when it comes to Moceanu and Bela's training methods, you have to keep in mind that Bela probably got to take more liberties when it came to his questionable training methods. Her parents idolized him because he was Nadia's coach and they wanted him to do whatever was necessary to make her champion.

[PassionsEpisodes777]

"they walked into an arena ready to polish their gold medals already, they had the swagger with them" hahaha, that line cracked me up, love Dawes!

[Mikizzle15]

@PassionsEpisodes777 I thought I was the only one who laughed at that. hahaha. She said it so proper and seriously!! lol.

[ftrmrswhite]

Shannon Miller has DEFINITELY had some work done on her face.

[THEGREATATZUMI]

@ftrmrswhite the nose,i guess, it was always her problem...

[mortella23]

no offense to Dominique Moceanu I love her..but.. Kerri Strug made the olympic team in 1992 when she was only 14 years old so why did everyone make such a huge deal with Dominique did..Kerri was just as good as her. But like why did they make such a big deal with dominique if kerri did it before...its not like it didnt happen before domi

[xoxPatriots83ily]

@mortella23 Just because she was the it girl. Everyone expected her to be the next Nadia because she was Romanian and she was Bela's new 'chosen one'

[amwanjiru]

some people cant keep a secret? lol

[dmann3g]

Dominique Dawes' split at 5:43....that's my girl!!

[tmwalkerm]

I've always wondered if the reason Bela and Dom split was because of her parents, he seemed to take their side, and with what happened after Atlanta, makes you wonder. Just a theory, I have no idea if that's true :).

[Mikizzle15]

Why did they show fottage of Betty Okino when Dawes was talking about her injuries?! That makes me mad everytime they do something about Dawes and show a picture or video of Betty Okino. They clearly look different. Dawes wore a bun her whole career, minus 2000, Betty wore a braid. Betty was like 5'-4" or something, Dawes was only like 5'-1". smh. Get it together.

[dmann3g]

@Mikizzle15 U know, all blacks look alike...

[Mikizzle15]

@dmann3g Of course. lol.

[bbhouk1]

amanda was definitely my favorite on this team

[SAX713]

dominique did remind me of nadia

[Mikizzle15]

Oh yeah. True.

[Mikizzle15]

She definitely wasn't the biggest threat as far as skill, but she was a threat as far as favorites. You gotta admit, even though Dominique Dawes didn't have the best form, she was very likeable in the clips of her. And her floor routines were always conveying something beautiful and when she cried, you cried. So I think they probably meant it as in she was the one that everyone liked. Even if she wasn't your favorite. And she was the only one who didn't make big mistakes in the Olympics.

[FlippinTitan2010]

Moceanu kinda annoys me.. she seems to crave attention.

[fnrsgrl]

@FlippinTitan2010 Big time! Also, she's not very appreciative of those that helped her realize her Olympic dream.

[MelleAndKev]

@fnrsgrl I don't understand how someone else can make her realize she had an Olympic dream... her parents had that dream for her before she was born... I'm not sure how fair that was to her really... it's easy to call her ungrateful but if she hadn't made it to the Olympics maybe you'd see it in that light.

[fnrsgrl]

@MelleAndKev To "realize" something means to achieve it--I meant that they had helped her get to the Olympics, not that they helped her to see that she had such a dream. It's an alternate meaning of the word. Dominique has, on her blogs and such, been very critical and sometimes downright nasty toward her parents and coaches, so yes, I do think she has been ungrateful or, at the very least, ungracious.

[tomsk14]

Lol notice the dark scary music everytime we hear 'Russia', ' Eastern Europe....'

Lol.....COMMUNISM arggghhhh

[sprinklefriend]

@tomsk14 it's amazing to those of us born within the years leading up to the fall of the USSR how much the previous generation STILL is suspicious of those countries!

i told my grandparents i was learning russian & one asked if i was going to become a spy. she was kidding, but still...

[rubinco]

@tomsk14 or bella karyoli lol. I feel like he always has dark music behind him haha

[bobd007]

I'll tell you what it was for Dominique, it was for your parents glory, not yours, but I'm sure you figured that out by now.

[bobd007]

People like Moceauneau's parents, who planned for her to be a gymnast before she was even born, are scum who would deny their children free will. It doesn't always end in a gold medal and it's no surprise she sued them for emancipation at one point. Don't have children if you want them to live out YOUR dreams.

[tomsk14]

Well said....

[csurvivor7]

I mean I would like my child do be a gymnast but I'm not going to force her/him. I'll probably put her/him in a gymnastics class but also let her try out other things and if she/he finds he/she likes Soccer or Ballet more thats fine with me!

[flowergirl1313]

D. Moceanu was too young. And had way too much pressure put on her.

[schatzi321]

now we have china to deal with.

[lapana29]

THEE BEST womens gymnastic team EVERRRRR!!!!!!they made history!!

[liukin95]

oh dominique must have nealy quit gymnastics all because of her parents

[tvloonie111]

poor Domi. :(

[krell88]

i know many disagree but i think shannon miller looks great...but then again im in medschool and want to be a plastic surgeon. haha.

[MissGreenie]

I think she looks great. I think a lot of people don't want them to grow up and be the cute little girls that they were at 14, 15, 16 etc....

[twilliger123]

We want them to grow up, just not butcher themselves and look sub-human like Shannon does now!

[twilliger123]

Disgusting, you think Shannon looks good after butchering herself with a bad nose job, obviously botox and collagen in her lips too, she doesn't look normal or human anymore, yeah right that looks great, and you want to sell that look to women, how pathetic!

[krell88]

Twilli this is clearly transference of a frustration of your own inadequacies and inability to change them.  She electively decided to make a personal change that she felt would change her personal appearance to her liking. And if I or anyone else supports her in her decision (and agree that that decision was a good one) thats our prerogative. So youre privy to it its called individuality and your butchering of ones individual preferences is both disgusting and pathetic!

[twilliger123]

and you are a hypocrite because you don't respect my and alot of other's opinion that plastic surgery is mutilating and abnormal, so I guess we're even, asshole. I find your condescending and hypocritical attitude disgusting and pathetic, the same for butchering your body because you feel you're inadequate and have a false sense of what others tell you looks good and/or normal! Screw you!

[twilliger123]

and lastly you're an asshole for wanting to make money off making women look ugly, cheap and fake! If it's for medical reasons such as injury or to correct a birth defect it's fine, but to make someone look unnatural when they are perfectly fine and get paid for it makes you the lowest greedy form of human being!

[krell88]

To the contrary, I respect your right to dislike reconstructive/plastic surgery...just not your transference of abhorration to others. Nonetheless, I'm flattered by your bitterness! :)

[fnrsgrl]

I agree. I mean, you can tell she's had surgery and all, but it's not like she turned into Michael Jackson or something. She's pretty.

[akawhippy]

What does Moceanu mean by "Eastern European mentality"?

[hopelesslove0]

like a communistic or dominating lifestyle.

that they were controlling i suppose.

[akawhippy]

oh, just like gymnastics coaches in those eastern european countries used to treat gymnasts, by brutal training methods?

[ghlover2001]

hey...they won...

[tonyhawkwiz]

EXACTLY!

[luisafernandasanchez]

Moceanu is my favorite, totally. =D

[tramngu]

amanda borden seems to have the coolest personality; like she's got a sense of humor and is fun to talk to.

[audie83]

Amanda grew up gorgeous.

[AnnaPavlovaFan]

I was gonna say! She looked a tad goofy back in 1996 but now she's stunning! Dominique (Dawes and Moceanu) look pretty great too!

[tmwalkerm]

@tramngu I agree, Amanda seems to have a lot of spunk and her smile just sparkles :). She's definitely one of my favorites.

[tmwalkerm]

@tramngu I agree, she has so much charm and just sparkles no matter what she's doing, she's amazing :).

[tramngu]

i'm glad strug sounds so much more mature now.

[dyingproof]

Podkopayeva qualified first into the A-A's and won compulsories to be picky. But Shannon was second. I think they just mean that she was superlative on beam. Even though she was good on every event, beam definitely outshined the other 3.

[xplosive08]

i am opsest with that lovley moceanu's face

[gymfan82]

Why in the world would anyone insist Shannon Miller was only a beamer in 92? Most ridiculous statement in this documentary.

[TheMadDane]

I know!! She was the leader after compolsery as well as optional team. HELLO, hardly down to just good beam work.
