Shannon Miller - 1994 Worlds AA - Floor Exercise

[LCAmarkymark]

Gymnastics was a crazy world back then. I agree that Milo was good but when you look at the facts Shannon had more difficult routines overall. Not just floor and vault but all four at this time. Now in 1995 it was apparent that Shannon had lost her difficulty but so did Milo. Just accept the fact that Shannon won. Milo didn't. You can't change the past.

She held on to this music for three years with the Olympics and two world championships. Why would she ever do that?

[Planetimage2]

The score I gave her: 7.5

[selesfan30]

9.750 was her score. The judges probably deducted only half a tenth for that small mistake at the end which is still somewhat leanient and she is quite lucky.

[kristirulesice]

And no Miller was not the best dancer or presenter on floor. Lilia Podkopayeva was clearly superior, she was the one who received most praise for her artistry on floor, not Shannon. And someone like Dawes was not neccessarily a better dancer but a far more entertaining and engaging performer. Miller was a Gogean like presenter on floor, technically clean dance but bland and repetitive music selections and little to no pesonality.

[kerstenfanatic]

Way overscored. The judges deducted nothing for her mistake on the last pass as she still scored a 9.750. Ripoff win!!

[emmyjo720]

I hate that white ruffle in her hair, it is so uncool for a teenager and better suited for a ten year old.

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

What went wrong in that last tumbling pass?

[russianskatingfan]

@gymnasticsloverxoxo according to the judges nothing. Then again Shannon was never deducted for her mistakes like other gymnasts were.

[TikiBoy382]

@russianskatingfan she was in the 96' Olympics big time!

[millerowns]

Lakuilera THAT IS A JOKE if you think milo should of won, first of all shannon exucted a PERFECT bar routine which milo did not she took a step on the landings and form breaks, shannon did not have as much balance checks as milo on beam and they were much minor then milo's vault, shannondidnt stick the landing as good as milo,but she had MUCH better form. so she wasrewarded with the much higher score. andfor floor, i have to say milo out did her there but shannon pulled it together she won.

[danielcnsilva]

What a strong first pass! Beautiful!

[maxy7792]

in the beam in the EF competiton, type in ( shannon miller 1994 beam) and press the first one it is a perfect 10 and she wins the gold medal on the beam

[russianskatingfan]

You dont know shit all. Miller scored a 9.875 in beam finals, not a 10. Miller has never scored a 10 in World or Olympic competition.

[maxy7792]

yes she had you dick, why dont you watch the video? asshole. stop saying shit if you dont know what the fuck your talking about

get a life

[Lakuilera]

milo should have won over miller..

[russianskatingfan]

Miller was given a monstrous gift on vault. She deserved no score higher then a 9.650 average with a 9.6 on the first vault and a 9.7 on the second. Then again Milo had two mistakes on beam, a big wobble on her side sumi and a hope on the dismount. Since Milo's perfect beam performance at the team worlds go t a 9.4 I would lower hers here at worlds to a 9.75 because of the two mistakes. In a fair competition Milo and Dina would be close for gold and Miller would have been only bronze at best.

[russianskatingfan]

Sorry I meant Milo's perfect beam performance at the 94 team worlds got a 9.9, so her AA beam performance here should have been a 9.75. All her other scores were about right. Miller's vault should be dropped from a 9.812 to a 9.650. I would also drop her bars and floor scores a bit. All other scores were correct. So the final results would be:

gold- Dina or Milo (almose a tie)

bronze- Miller or Gogean (almost a tie)

[raichmaneuvers]

@luv4cookie1 Miller was perfect on bars for her standards, but it was not perfect compared to the best ones. She was short on handstands, her releases dont get much amplitude, and her double layout is fugly. Millers first vault was crap with a big pike and huge hop, and should have gotten a 9.6 but got a ridiculous 9.8, LOL! On floor Miller had a big mistake on her last pass, weaker tumbling, and a bland old routine, and still got a 9.75 while Milo was undermarked. Milo clearly was better.

[maxy7792]

go away no one wants to hear you

[kristirulesice]

@Lakuilera Miller's last pass should have been atleast a full tenth of a point off. Instead the judges took no deduction or half a tenth at most. Miller was overscored on every event at these Worlds except for beam and in no way deserved to win the AA.

[kristirulesice]

@1982mjdk you are so full of bullshit. in the event finals Miller stepped out of bounds which is an automatic .1 and still scored below 9.7 which means she would have managed a score below 9.8 even with that. So the judges wrongly took almost no deduction. A 9.9 for this routine, ROTFL are you crazy. Scoring at Goodwill Games or U.S Nationals doesnt mean anything, the Goodwill Games is a cheese event. You are probably that Miller fanatic freak under your 20th username. Get a life loser.

[kristirulesice]

@1982mjdk wrong again stupid, in event finals she landed her first pass exactly how she usually does except it was out of bounds so only lost .1. Dawes, Milo, and Kochetkova all were better on floor than Miller so if they are scoring barely over 9.8 a hit Miller is scoring lower than that. So like I said she was not deducted or barely deducted anything for her mistake You are obviously that blind Miller fanatic Millerowns under your 20th username.  Get a life loser.

[crownblkprince]

@kristirulesice Ok. Let's go with your logic. If "others" were better than Shannon on floor in the quad, and Shannon suffered less scoring criticism from judges, then wouldn't a hit floor routine be scored very highly (9.9+)? I will not debate that there were stronger tumblers, but as far as presentation and exhibiting a "complete set," Shannon was the best.

[kristirulesice]

@crownblkprince I dont know what you are saying exactly. If you are implying Miller was the best floor worker of the quad though you are on crack. Lilia, Dina, Gina, Milo, Dawes, were all better floor workers than her. And Miller was not at all capable of a 9.9 on floor at the Worlds or Olympics under the 93-96 code. These are the highest scores recieved in World level competition on floor this quad: Milo 9.95, Amanar 9.912, Gogean 9.900, Lilia 9.887, Dina 9.85, Dawes 9.85, Miller 9.825.

[kristirulesice]

OK I think I see what you meant now. Nobody was receiving a 9.9 on any event at these Worlds except the Chinese girls on bars. Miller couldnt even get that score on beam here with hit routines, and she is light years better on beam than on floor (on beam unlike floor you could actually argue she is the best where on floor that argument would be laughable) so no as much as judges pet she was, she was never getting that score on floor even with a "hit" routine.

[russianskatingfan]

@1982mjdk Miller capable of a 9.9 on floor at Worlds under the 93-96 code. God you are stupid. Even way better floor workers than Shannon like Podkopayeva in Atlanta didnt get that and the best floor workers at these Worlds who were better on floor than Shannon were topping out in the low 9.8 range. You are delusional. And you have the nerve to tell others they know nothing about the sport. Typical idiot Miller fanatic.

[dahighbar]

@russianskatingfan When Shannon hit that floor perfectly using those same tumbles she scored well into the 9.9s Goodwill games in Russia that year she scored in the 9.9 plus range everytime out she even scored a 9.95 In Russia POW

[russianskatingfan]

@dahighbar you are comparing scoring at the Goodwill Games to Worlds, LOL! Everyone was scoring above 9.9 at the Goodwill Games. Kochetkova also scored over 9.9 three times on floor a the Goodwill Games when she barely gets over 9.8 for her best routines sometimes at Worlds.

Reality- Miller was getting a 9.800 at most even for a hit routine here so was deducted almost nothing for her mistake. It is possible she was in fact deducted nothing at all.

[dahighbar]

@dahighbar Oh Please you are fucking delusional the fact is Shannon is the two time world All around Champion and Olympic silver medalist in the All around get over the fact that Shannon kicked the Russians ass for almost three years straight and stop trying to take away her credibility with your ole hating ass obviously she would have scored close to that at worlds if she didnt fumble her last tumble in the All Around..WHO MAD POW!!!!!!!

[serenakicksass]

@dahighbar you are a crazy over the top Miller fanatic. Get some help.

[dahighbar]

@serenakicksass And you are simply just Green with envy Get over it!!!

[serenakicksass]

@dahighbar Envy over what. A pyscho like you who probably has a shrine of an athlete who doesnt know you even fucking exist at home. I am a Serena fan and a fan of other athletes but I dont have a deep rooted over the top pathetic obsession with them like a sad loser like you. Again get some help, I am sure you are already getting it at the psych ward where you reside but there is probably additional help out there.

[dahighbar]

@serenakicksass Im a fan but why are you here????shouldnt you be doing something better with your time then seeking shannons floor routine just to hate and be malice...Yall fucking Millers haters what do yall do get together and plot shit on her page bwahahahaha

[peepers2221]

@Lakuilera okay everyone stop flipping a shit and being a bunch of haters! There was faults in judging but PLEASE don't go around listening to Russianskatingfan she is a bunch of bullshit herself/himself. She's over opinionated and half her comments are ridiculous, no matter how much you argue they aren't going to take away shannon's medal. Face it. Milo shouldnt of won. I think proffesional international judges know more then people on Youtube, obviously there was a reason she won. accept it

[gymnasticsforever95]

shannon was so spectacular, she could also save falls from the beam. and example is her 1996 olympic AA beam routine on her layout stepout series. her first lading foot on her last on almost misses he beam. but as usual, she covers
