Dominique Dawes - 1996 Olympics Team Compulsories - Vault

[chrislindsey14]

I always loved her landings. She knew exactly where she was.

[pensrule21]

shes 10 times better than any our U.S gymnasts today. not to say their bad, but the way she presents herself in her routines and her articulation is something that not just U.S gymnasts, but other world gymnasts lack today.

Nice. very high

[moopoo66]

that was the best compulsory vault of the compeition!

[luvhelmet]

look at her- cool, calm, collected! she's like and this is how awesome I am BAM! stuck landing! Classic!

[lostlyrarose]

what was the score on this?

[tide32athlete]

@lostlyrarose 9.725. They nailed her with insufficient pike.

[lostlyrarose]

@tide32athlete I can see that, but then I think about Milo's atrocious vault that got a 9.85, and suddenly, every vault seems better than that.

[southernboi229]

She was always my favorite

[lingketon]

looks very effortless

[ksha]

wanted to be like her when i was little. oh the memories

[yaoidanyboy]

Very good vault.

[htownhomie06]

i miss compulsories.

[dmann3g]

I know many ppl do, but I can't relate. I hate having to watch every gymnast do the same routine. I think it takes a lot of the SPORT credibility away from gymnastics.

[cordofthree777]

@dmann3g then u don't understand the importance of the sport if u can't appreciate the compulsories.

[dmann3g]

@cordofthree777 No, I do understand, actually. What I also understand is that ppl need to get over it and get with the reality of this SPORT. If this was during Olga Korbut's day when a dbl back tuck would've been amazing, then I could see the relevance of comps. However, in 2010, I can't fathom Sam Shapiro qualifying to a fx ef over Kytra Hunter because she had a higher compulsory score. The sport has changed to ATHLETES doing amazing feats WELL...as opposed to dancing and smiling.

[pinchofcyanide]

Do you know the score on that vault?

[LBoogie101984]

She scored a 9.725 on this compulsory vault.

[pinchofcyanide]

Thanks! It's out of a 9.8, yes?

[NEU2002]

All compulsory routines were out of a 10.0

[uwoeric]

Way too low, IMO.

[viejocebolleto]

i think it's the best landing i've ever seen

[rfillangi]

You're right. It's perfect.
