Does anyone know who the woman performing at 1:30 is? I remember that she was very tall and had discolored teeth. I cannot remember if she was on the Russian, Ukranian, Romanian, etc. squad. Thanks.
I was 12 during the Atlanta Olympics and was absolutely obsessed with gymnastics. I had pictures of the Magnificent Seven all over my walls. I was lucky the Olympic trials were in Boston that year and got to see the girls compete for team spots. I wish gymnastics was still as special as this team was. These girls were household names and they managed to do the impossible...win gold! They've changed too much about the sport. I just don't understand the scoring system anymore, which is frustrating
@vodka56 I agree definitely the last great Olympic games for Gymnastics, after this everything changed. The magic and the beauty are gone out of the sport now.
Great montage! I have to watch more of them. By the way, love the Khorki ending pose at 2:24 and the girl at 1:30 Milo looks just like Rebecca Bross. No one has made that comparison yet but I totally see it! Milo's prettier though! =D
the intensity of the music just increases the eternal magical moments from 1996! thnx so much for the video :) at least we can relive the the moments like this :)
no expert on gymnastics, but back then there seems to be so much passion and love for gymnastics as an art form rather than a sport. Now there is still talent, but seems much more focused on competition :(
Ho my god this is just amazing ! bloogy brilliant ! I don't know the english word for "chaire de poule" and i can't explain what i feel but i can say thanyou so much for this montage. The musics, the timing, the videos everything is just perfect and it reminds me when i was young and staid in front of the tv in the middle of the night to watch those games (i'm french ^^)...
If you know at all, would you be able to tell me where you got the second shot (0.7-0.10) of the pan over of the equipment please?
It looks like it could be Day 2 of event Finals since theres no vault, but I cant find this shot on any of the videos I've watched. I want to use it in a montage if possible.
I've had the chance to watch many gymnastics montages on YouTube, but this one is leagues above the rest.
Nade00, this is AMAZING. The video clips, the beautiful music... everything you did for this montage is breathtaking!
I think it's so great because it brings back some of the best memories. It seems like this is an Olympics that stands out for so many people. The combo of the athletes, the venue, the routines...I always felt like 1996 was the end of an era. I miss THIS gymnastics.
I agreed, "the end of the era" is the best way to put it. Gymnastics hit their pinnacle in between 1992-1996...after that I went downhill. I remember how disappointed I was in the 2000 olympics after such height from 1996. 2004 was pathetic, and 2008 was full of controversy..not to mention the new dumb code of points. I can't understand how the score now.
@theintranet, I agree about the 2000 Olympics. I was SO excited to watch, but the gymnastics was such a letdown. It didn't seem at all like the Olympics. I barely remember 2000...the only routines that stood out for me were the floor routines of Andreea Raducan (great music) and Lisa Skinner (beautiful choreography). What a letdown after the excitement and tension of 1996. Plus the botched handling of the US team: the training camps, the "Trials," screwing over the alternate, the messy AA? Ugh.
two girls tied for 3rd from Romania. i think they score differently now as to not have ties, but this was before all the rule changing. however, if there was a tie for second, then there would be no bronze awarded. just gold and two silver.
This is such a great montage--I can't believe this was 13 years ago! I still remember every score, etc...It's a shame that gymnastics has changed so much. The world championships this year were so disappointing! And, why can't I find this or any other gymnastics on DVD anywhere? Does anyone have any advice?
well the world championships the year after the olympics are always dissapointing, becuz the new uprisers in gymnastics arent eligible until the year before the olympics. also, becuase there is no team competition
This video is amazing. This Olympics is the one that made me start gymnastics, but gymnastics isn't this way anymore; now I watch this video to live in the old days. Oh I miss gymnastics so!
@FoundandHappy I couldn't agree more. I love the art of the gymnastics from the early nineties. These days with gymnasts like Shawn Johnson, we seemed to have moved onto an era where gymnasts are more focused on filling routines with dangerous, powerful skills as opposed to the elegance.
Brilliant! For me this was the height of gymnastics. Beauty was still in the sport. Compulsories really added to the competition, and these gymnasts were just excellent. My favourite COP, my favourite gymnasts, my favourite competition ever.
I absolutly LOVE your montages! My favorites are the beam and floor ones.
I really like how you don't just do them about say 'Shawn Johnson' or 'Nastia Liukin' you do them about an event weather it's a gymnastics 'event' (vault, bars, beam, floor) or it's a event in 'history'
I also like how playful some of them are, you do a great job fitting them to the music!!
I cried when Elfie kept criticizing everybody and wouldn't shut up. I cried when Alexandra fell off the beam twice, and when Dominique cracked her head on the beam, and when Shannon fell apart in the all-around. I cried that the Romanians didn't get the team medal that they would have if it had been held in a neutral country. But I smiled every time I saw Mo. And I smiled for Gina, because she couldn't. And I smiled for Lilia because she was the best.
you had me up until neutral conutry. the americans kicked major ass here and to imply any differently is a discredit to how well those 7 girls performed. the romanians were short stacked in the number of gymnats they had for their team and the russians fell a few times.
the american women were nearly flawless up until the end, and at that point their lead was so great, all they need was a 9.0 or better. so no.
There was an age limit. A gymnast had to be 15 in the year. So you could be 14 just so long as your 15th birthday was sometime during the year of the competition.
I'm not sure it makes much difference because now the age states that a gymnast must be 16 in the year. So gymnast can still compete even though they are 15. So really the age limit has been moved up a year. Also in 96 the Olympic champion Lilia Podkopayeva was 17.... so older gymnasts were already winning major competitions. But who am i to make sense of the FIG and there ideas.
1996 was the best Olympic year for gymnastics. Stiff competition everywhere. 2000 had the potential to be amazing as well especially in the all around, with a fit Khorkina, Raducan, Amanar, Lobaznyuk, Karpenko,Zamoldchikova, etc But the vaulting debacle ruined everything.
1991-1996 were the greatest years in gymnastics! so many talents and rivalries. first Zmeskal, Miller, Boginskaya, Onodi, bontas in 1991-1992, then miller, milo, gogean, dawes in 1993-1994, and finally podkepeyeva, khorkina, kotchekova, mo huilan, moceanu, amanar joined the gang in 1995-1996. it was great!
@jsaw21 I couldn't agree more! The nostalgia that comes back while watching this video... sigh. How much I miss the way gymnastics used to be. There used to be dozens of Nastia-types leaping around. Grace wasn't a rarity. They all had elegance. They all had personality. They all had something about them that made each gymnast stand out in some way. Sometimes you just weren't SURE who was going to win, because so many had a real shot.
I wonder if artistic gymnastics will ever be like this again.
GENIUS! i love it. its great cuz there's so much more than just the US.... which is refreshing. i don't remember watching this on tv cuz i was little but i was soo missing out! lol .awesome job. bela's so cool too... lol
I miss gymnasts like this, i didn't enjoy this olympics gymnastics... there need to be more Bogenskaya's and Millers--- those girls made gymnastics magical!
What I really liked about this Olympics that there were no new breakout stars. So many gymnasts that had competed since 92 were still there and fighting for the gold medals. And those that had emerged had done so in the years building up to the Olympics, so they were not new to the sport. There were so many great gymnasts to pull for, and they almost all walked away with a medal.
Wow! This was great! I still have this whole competition on tape and I still get it out and watch it. Your montage gave it new excitement and life. Love that all gymasts from all countries were included!
Thank you for posting this, it really is one of THE BEST montages ever -- it really captured the amazing highlights of those Olympic gymnastics moments that many of us watched in fascination and couldn't tear our eyes from. Thank you!
the music, just captures the emotion that went on in that arena. amazing. o and that was kerri strug. many dont know that even though dominique fell on both her vaults and got a 9.2 domie won the gold for them, kerri just secured it.
i dont like it when peope say kerri won gold, domie won gold, etc. it took all of those girls working together to win. it's not just the last person who goes up who wins...its everyone involved.
and what kerri did was still amazing. she wanted to cement the medal and not have to wait for the scores to come out. besides, who wants to be remembered for falling on their butt in the olympics? she did that for herself more than anyone else. it was the media that made it what it is, not her.
Wow! Awe-inspiring montage! What a thrilling way to capture the best Olympic games in women's gymnastics ever! This brings back memories of so many legends in one game: Shannon, the 2 Dominiques, the 2 Svetlanas, Lilia, and of course, the heroic Kerri Strug! Superb! I'm almost in tears!
i know! back then a 9.5 was lie.... a horrible score because the gold medalist wre int eh 9.8'2 and 9.9's and well yah. like in worlds in 03 a 9.3 was a really good score.... :(
the image of Podkepeyeva Ukraine's flag rising and 3 Romanias followed by was powerful! shows how dedicated and dominated the Romanian and Soviet were in gymnastics even in America's soil. I wish they still have 3 athletes per country compete in the AA again.
first of all, it's ON America's soil, not in. and secondly, it's the OLYMPICS for crying out loud. i'm sure you'd be dedictated where ever you played, regardless of it being america.
ghlover2001, why are you sound so ANGRY and BITTER? So what? I had a typo of "in" instead of "on", but this ain't spelling bee or English class, and I don't have all day spell checking everything. IT WAS JUST A COMMENT ON THE VIDEO. CHILL OUT!!!
Maybe you weren't there in Atlanta in 1996, but the crowds were so pro America that they totally ignored the existing of the other teams. American team stayed in nice hotel, while every other teams stayed in Olympics village
American team has home advantage while other teams had injuries. And yes they did win TF, and they deserved it. But the result could have been much different if the Romanian didn't have an injury and had to substitute their alternate and the Soviet still compete together.
The crowds will always be pro-home country...everyone knows that. You'd have to be ignorant to believe that a majority of the people this year will be so pro-China that they will ignore most of the others and that the Chinese team will be treated better than the rest, it's just a fact of life
Thankyou to all of you for your nice words. Many people have requested the title of the music and if you read the comments you will see thAT question has been answered already. Thanks
This was such an amazing video. I loved it from start to finish. I was so close to crying. It is definently one of the best videos i have ever seen. Good Job!
oh gosh, there were so many great gymnasts at this olympics. beautiful footage of lilia so emotional at the awards ceremony, and that gold medal kiss to her grandmother who died just weeks before lilia won. she used to say how she wished to see lilia on the podium, and if she had lived 30 days more, her wish would have come true, isn't that sad. dom moceanu who was very talented!
Beautiful, but why was the most beautiful Lilia Podkopayeva only shoved in there at the end?! With the all around and floor golds and silver on beam, I would have thought she was 1996's biggest star!
Plus, her compulsory floor was by far the best of anybody's - it would have been nice to see some more of that (seeing as you used lots of footage of the compulsory floor routines).
perfect clip and music at 3:04. the image was so powerful when you see the ukraine's flag went up along with 3 romanians (the romanians were so consistent compared to U.S., Russian and Chinese)
ive just seen this video i wish i could do this

the music, just captures the emotion that went on in that arena. amazing. o and that was kerri strug. many dont know that even though dominique fell on both her vaults and got a 9.2 domie won the gold for them, kerri just secured it.

That's true I remember watching it and after they won, they stated that Dominique's routine was good enough and Kerri didn't need to vault.
Awesome video.

i dont like it when peope say kerri won gold, domie won gold, etc. it took all of those girls working together to win. it's not just the last person who goes up who wins...its everyone involved.
and what kerri did was still amazing. she wanted to cement the medal and not have to wait for the scores to come out. besides, who wants to be remembered for falling on their butt in the olympics? she did that for herself more than anyone else. it was the media that made it what it is, not her.

Wow! Awe-inspiring montage! What a thrilling way to capture the best Olympic games in women's gymnastics ever! This brings back memories of so many legends in one game: Shannon, the 2 Dominiques, the 2 Svetlanas, Lilia, and of course, the heroic Kerri Strug! Superb! I'm almost in tears!

the image of Podkepeyeva Ukraine's flag rising and 3 Romanias followed by was powerful! shows how dedicated and dominated the Romanian and Soviet were in gymnastics even in America's soil. I wish they still have 3 athletes per country compete in the AA again.
theintranet 4 years ago
"...were in gymnastics even in America's soil."
first of all, it's ON America's soil, not in. and secondly, it's the OLYMPICS for crying out loud. i'm sure you'd be dedictated where ever you played, regardless of it being america.
third of all, didn't america win gold in TF?
ghlover2001 3 years ago
ghlover2001, why are you sound so ANGRY and BITTER? So what? I had a typo of "in" instead of "on", but this ain't spelling bee or English class, and I don't have all day spell checking everything. IT WAS JUST A COMMENT ON THE VIDEO. CHILL OUT!!!
Maybe you weren't there in Atlanta in 1996, but the crowds were so pro America that they totally ignored the existing of the other teams. American team stayed in nice hotel, while every other teams stayed in Olympics village
theintranet 3 years ago 2
American team has home advantage while other teams had injuries. And yes they did win TF, and they deserved it. But the result could have been much different if the Romanian didn't have an injury and had to substitute their alternate and the Soviet still compete together.
theintranet 3 years ago 2
The crowds will always be pro-home country...everyone knows that. You'd have to be ignorant to believe that a majority of the people this year will be so pro-China that they will ignore most of the others and that the Chinese team will be treated better than the rest, it's just a fact of life

2 questions:
Is the person at:
:38 :43 :46 1:00 1:05 1:24 1:31 1:54 2:14 2:15 2:18 2:35 2:37 and 2:40
all the same person?
If so, who is it?
If not, who is the person at 2:14
and where else does she show up?
Thanks!!
HappyThing 4 years ago
No they are not the same person.
Dominique Moceanu at: :38, :46, 1:24, 1:54, 2:35, 2:37, 2:40
Shannon Miller at: :20, :43, 2:14, 2:15, 2:18.
she is also on 2:22 (gold medal beam) and 3:30 most right on the podium)
1:00 Romanian (gina Gogean??) 1:05 romanian 1:31 Lavinia Milosevici (smiles) and svetlana boginskaya (white)
to answer your question at 2:14 is Shannon Miller, my alltime favourite gymnast, America"s most decorated gymnast ever (men or women)

oh gosh, there were so many great gymnasts at this olympics. beautiful footage of lilia so emotional at the awards ceremony, and that gold medal kiss to her grandmother who died just weeks before lilia won. she used to say how she wished to see lilia on the podium, and if she had lived 30 days more, her wish would have come true, isn't that sad. dom moceanu who was very talented!

Beautiful, but why was the most beautiful Lilia Podkopayeva only shoved in there at the end?! With the all around and floor golds and silver on beam, I would have thought she was 1996's biggest star!
Plus, her compulsory floor was by far the best of anybody's - it would have been nice to see some more of that (seeing as you used lots of footage of the compulsory floor routines).

bowesgoes 4 years ago
Yes, what's called? It's a strange double back, but have not a back jump, but a layout.. strange!
NastiaLiukinFan 4 years ago
the move was just simply a single double layout back that emphazizes more on the kick in mid-air. (it was a compulsory move in 1996)
