This was right around her 16th birthday. Back when she went to the Olympics in 1992 you had to be turrning 15 in the calendar year. She was 15 at the Olympics in 92, 16 in 1993...
Catalina Ponor in the 2004 Olympics is one off the top of my head. There has actually been quite a few gymnasts that competed the full twisting double back off of beam.
I actually like this routine more than her '96 Olympics routine.

Shannon was so cute and shy, I think thats why she was so popular with non american fans......

I honestly think it's harder for gymnasts to stick dismounts today with all of the extra safety padding.

Why does she look like she is going to cry at the end? Great dismount.

this was a great routine but it seemed out of sync with the dance.

Gymnasts were tough back then. They didn't have thick mats to land on and the still stuck it.

Im confused as to what Ponor was really trying to do. She twists in tucked position the in the 2nd salto she was piked. Anyone care to explain?

Ponor's was more like a full twisting double pike kiss the ground. Shannon's on the other hand... beautiful!

@TsubasaDreams The only other person I saw do that dismount was Roza Galieva at the '96 European Championships. It was really well done.
