The sequence at the beginning was absolutely magnificent. I have no idea what it is but it is when she rolls and ends up in handstands or something? sorry I am noob but all her positions were so beautiful and breath taking to watch
@MysticTaiwan2025 Oh gosh I know right! She was and still is one of the greatest and most poised gymnasts ever. The "Miller" is ridiculous and she makes them look so effortless. I am in AWE.
I can see that lots of people are saying that if Lilia had won this event they would have not been the happiest person. Their are a few olympic stories that just get me up tight, but the one that takes the cake is 1992 womens all around. Shannon Miller won the silver and Tatiana Gutsu won the gold. Shanon was clearly better expecially on vault. Take a look into it and look for my comments on those videos!!
This is one of my favorite beam routines of ALL TIME. She has amazing artistry, something you don't see a lot these days. She was the first American woman to ever compete that dismount.
That is the best she ever did the miller that I know of. She always fell out of it too soon and never posed it properly like she did here. i was so happy for her. she shoulda had the all around in 92 and was more than capable of winning it in 96 but thats neither here nor there. she got gold on her element. so beautiful!
It always amazes me how these gymnasts, escpially shannon can work the beam with such confidence. I compete for my school team, but these girls throw layout step outs without even thinking about it! And this really was a well deserved gold medal:D
I just saw Shannon Miller on Inside Edition. This was like 15 years ago. Wow...Time really flies. I always thought she was so beautiful. I can't believe she's 34 now.
Evidently, Shannon lost all of her hair to a bout of ovarian cancer. It really sucks to see that happen. That said, I wish her well and hope that she has a full recovery.
@ShawnVikaKomova2012 lily was kinda boring and all those bobbles.. had she been given gold that would have screamed set up. dont get me wrong, i loved lily but shannon was in full command on this night.
She was never my favourite gymnast (those God-awful wrists and hands!), and Lilia Podkopayeva was a much more beautiful gymnast. But if there was ever someone who deserved an Olympic gold medal, it was Shannon Miller. How tough it must have been to only win it at the very end!
@EverythingElse723 In all of the years of watching the olympics which I have not watched the recent ones this one was big. Shannon Millers only Gold Medal I believe. I think I even shed a few tears at the end knowing that this was it for her.
Shannon Miller's husband alleges that his wife had an affair with a married male athlete and that she threatened to accuse him (Phillips) of abusing prescription drugs if he failed to meet her demands during the divorce proceedings (Those two losers really fought!!)

Man, that argument about if Shannon deserves the gold or who is the better beam worker is still going on? I know I was part of the argument, but I am really bad at arguing so I have one more thing to say. This happen about 14 years ago and sadly enough we can't change anything. Shannon won the gold-medal, so what? She have a reputation on beam and this was going to be her last Olympics. Other great gymnasts either made mistakes, just didn't make the cut or just don't have high enough reputation.
@481095ymg2 actually the rest of the routine was jumps andnothing difficult so she probably was saying to herself "if i hit this dismount i think ive got it"
@mmoran3 I realize what her routine looks like. I'm saying that she is not speaking out loud "stick the dismount, stick the dismount!" like some zombie. She was probably thinking about her switch leap, then preparing for her dismount, not sticking after her so called "miller."
Is it just me or does it seem like gymnasts have a hard time sticking their landings nowadays with all the safety mats and everything especially with the beam
@ajhornell i definitely agree hat all the safety mats are a hinderance. when i was a gymnast my theory was either do it fully without a "safety" mat or don't do it in competition at all. and i found that my feet were able to plant themselves beter on the plain blue mats. and i believe the safety mats are just mental and gives an added sense of security. ive definitely noticed some modern routines where the safety mats clearly caused the gymnasts to trip.

Incredible work, every move is well controlled and it looks so easy.In general, artistic gymnastics were very difficult and beautiful at this Olympics.

I wish Nastia Liukin wouldve done/would start doing the miller in her routine! it would be beautiful to see and nice to see an American keeping the move and shannon miller spirit still alive! anyways, shannons routine here is soooo good :')

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
shannon miller is a loser, and was always overrated as a gymnast. She had no power or strength and always looked like she was struggling during tumbling passes. Many of her wins were handed to her. BTW, why are all these guys fighting over her, she’s really ugly
@PLANETIMAGE1 she's not ugly she is beautiful, and she had strength did you see her mount? Lifting her body up in a handstand? She had mental strength and she fought threw more injurys and won more titles then any gymnast, and really no one gives a friggin crap what you think because no one cares what gymnast you like shannon WON and there is absolutley nothing you can do about it what are you going to do steal her gold medal away and wear it like you earned it? haha
She did well but she was lucky that Kui and Mo fell and missed beam finals and that Roza, Moceanu, and Marinescu who were all capable of matching or beating her score fell.
She was wonderful and we all know she got the gold! But I really have to say that if Domi Moceanu wouldnt have fell, she would have taken home the gold. No doubt.
@benrobinson77 dominique dawes didnt have enough difficulty and didn't qualify for event finals, Miller had 2 E elements, dawes had one, which no offense but she preformed terribly.
@luv4cookie1 the only reason Dawes didnt make finals was because Miller and Moceanu scored so highly. They were the top 2 qualifiers into the final. If Dawes was from any other country she would have made it. Her AA beam score would have tied Lilia for the silver. Dawes was certainly not worse on beam than Gogean who ended bronze. Too bad for Dawes Moceanu didnt do the routine in team she did here or Dawes would have been in finals and probably medaled. Wouldnt have beat Miller though.
@benrobinson77 IMO Dawes never looked completely comfortable on the beam in Atlanta. She struggled in compulsories and looked shaky in team optionals. Shannon was just so consistent. I love Dawes too but Shannon was just better these Games.
Hypno thats real nice to talk to a young lady like that, just shows the jealousy you have for her cause your daughter is probably a fat ass that gets made fun of at school.
i would have to pick shannon, i have always loved her and she has always been one of my favorites (: i always love her grace, her dance, and her style.
@Selecious i have to say i perfer miller lol, i like millers comprehension of grace and style and baletic moves and leaps, she always met her 180 degree split on her split leaps and leaps, she really was a talented gymnast and deserved gold
shannon's ability to concentrate is amazing. the only think i noticed that could be better are her split leaps, doesnt seem like she makes 180 degrees in this routine
Does anyone know the difficulty rating on the "Miller" it was Shannon's signature move for most of her career on the beam... I'm just curious cause you hardly ever see anyone else in present times performing it.. Thanks..
@Carpentersfan2003 back then it was rated an E element, back then an E element was the most difficult in gymnasitcs, there was no F, or G, so the miller was one of the most difficult skills you could do
...this might sound like a stupid question....but why in this time when a gymnast competed a full in double back they completed the twist in the fist flip, infact in the fist quarter of the double flip, and now they do complete the twist all over the flip.
Well the dismount is a full-in which means the twist is on the fist tuck the "in", if a gymnast were to do it on the entire double tuck it would be half in half out, half a twist on the first tuck and half a twist on the second.
true actually if you look closley she does the full twist first,, then the 2 somersaults,, hence "full in" which means she did a full twist first then "into" 2 back somersaults,, then theres the 1/2 in 1/2 out,, she would do a half twist into the first somersault and a half twist outta the second,, then theres a "full out" which means she does a back somersault then a full twist on the second somersault butits all the same "hard off beam" LOL
She did a split jump into what I think it was a quarter turn to handstand not three-quarter turn to handstand, unless you are talking about Shannon's original move, which is a quarter turn to handstand and moving into another half of turn.
It has just only hit me that the HUGE star thing on the chest (like on the day 1 U.S. leos at Beijing '08) was also on the U.S. leos back in '96 as well. Blech. I was thrilled when Shannon won though-well-deserved.
Back roll extension to split handstand, and yes, its lovely. The problem with moves like this is they are not difficult enough nowadays to be considered competitive.Its a shame.n
had all the finalist performed perfectly i would have given miller gold, moceanu silver, and dina kotchekova bronze or silver. i dispise lilia's routine. she's such a beautiful gymnast but her olympic routine i dispised. gogeon should have never been in EF. but i do believe that if any of the 3 chinese gymnast were in EF and hit, miller would not have won
I have to agree here. Lilia dispite her ballet training had a weak beam routine. Gogean had the weakest beam routine over all. I really wish that Mo or Kui had made it to Beam finals. Would have been superb!
I think had she hit Marinescu would have factored in the medals as well-she placed 4th I believe on beam at 1995 World, and tied for the silver medal at Worlds the following year (1996). She also won the title on beam at the Euro Juniors in 1994. Alex had established a good rep on this event leading up to the Games.
@agators212 3 Chinese. Which 3 are you referring to. Mo and Kui I assume, who else. If you mean Liu Xuan then no. She was too underrated and undermarked around then to have been given a higher score than Miller.
@ants2876 liu would have scored high...not as high as mo and kui...kui was the only one that hit her optional routine while mo and liu fell on there's but kui fell in compulsories. kui scored a 9.875 in team and mo scored a 9.8 in the AA with a big hop backwards. judges were prolly willing to give her a 10 had she hit and a well deserved one.
@agators212 Well Miller had a 9.862 in all her beam routines in Atlanta so if you are admiting Xuan wouldnt have scored as high as Kui it wouldnt have been enough to beat Miller. I dont think Xuan would have done any better than maybe beating Gina for the bronze had she been in finals. She just didnt have the reputation and wasnt seen as one of the leading Chinese anywhere.
@ants2876 if xuan had been there i think she would have challenged for more than just the bronze. gina should have never even been in the finals nor won a medal with that routine of her's. xuan was the third chinese gymnast. she was more known for her bar routine but her beam was just as good. but mo and kui's were the two best at that time
@agators212 I disagree. Xuan was never beating Podkopayeva let alone Miller. Mo or Kui yes, Xuan no. Dont get me wrong I like her gymnastics but she wasnt a big enough name or respected enough by the judges. She wasnt capable of more than a 9.8 on any event, even her best events.
@ants2876 it's ok...i just am a fan of xuan's gymnastics on bars and beam even if she was underscored and lilia was overscored on beam and bars. xuan should have gottan higher scores on bars but they didn't want to credit her one armed skills more than a C skill. such a shame.
@agators212 Yeah how ridiculous. She should have won the World bars title at the 96 event Worlds. Khorkina made a big mistake and still tied for the gold with Piskun's excellent routine. What a joke.
@ants2876 now i'm gonna have to rewatch it and relive that travesty. almost, but not quite, as bad as gogean winning beam in 97 over kui's far more superior and difficult routine.
@agators212 Khorkina shouldnt have even been in the medals on bars at the 96 Worlds. She is excellent on bars but to make such a big mistake in an event final as bellyflopping her paked salto and winning was like an insult to the other competitors some who had excellent routines that day especialy Piskun, Severino, and Xuan. As for 97 beam final Gogean probably shouldnt have even medaled that day, or at best a distant bronze behind Kui and Khorkina.
@ants2876 i agree with everything you said. its the frustrating part of the sport where athletes are judged, everything is subjective, and cheating may or may not have something to do with the results
@agators212 Moceanu!?!? Are you on crack. That girl was one of the most overscored gymnasts in history in her teen years. Her form and technique was horrible, almost as bad as Kerrig Strug. If she was not coached by Bela Karolyi and so cute and hyped she would have had a hard time even making the U.S team. Miller, Kochetkova, Podkopayeva, Marinescu, Galieva, should all have outscored Moceanu by two tenths or more if judged fairly but of course Moceanu was overscored so would be closer.
@russianskatingfan kochetkova is the only one i would agree with...lilia was also overscored for that horrid routine. all she had was form but everything about that routine was nothing special, especially her tumbling pass. galieva would have been better if she had done that full twist pike dismount. i like marinescu but moceanu was not overscored. but that's your opinion, and i don't care right now
@agators212 ok you are entitled to be blind to Moceanu's bad form and technique if you wish. :) Thank goodness most others arent. Funny how when she was no longer cute, tiny, and coached by Bela her scores went down the drain even though her gymnastics eventually improved. And what were Moceanu's great skills on beam? Just her three layout pass which she usually fell on anyway. Jaycie Phelps was a better gymnast than Moceanu.
I remember I was 8 years old when I confessed my love for this woman. Goodtimes.

shannon miller is a loser, and was always overrated as a gymnast. She had no power or strength and always looked like she was struggling during tumbling passes. Many of her wins were handed to her. BTW, why are all these guys fighting over her, she’s really ugly
PLANETIMAGE1 1 year ago
@PLANETIMAGE1 she's not ugly she is beautiful, and she had strength did you see her mount? Lifting her body up in a handstand? She had mental strength and she fought threw more injurys and won more titles then any gymnast, and really no one gives a friggin crap what you think because no one cares what gymnast you like shannon WON and there is absolutley nothing you can do about it what are you going to do steal her gold medal away and wear it like you earned it? haha

She did well but she was lucky that Kui and Mo fell and missed beam finals and that Roza, Moceanu, and Marinescu who were all capable of matching or beating her score fell.

@benrobinson77 dominique dawes didnt have enough difficulty and didn't qualify for event finals, Miller had 2 E elements, dawes had one, which no offense but she preformed terribly.
luv4cookie1 1 year ago
@luv4cookie1 the only reason Dawes didnt make finals was because Miller and Moceanu scored so highly. They were the top 2 qualifiers into the final. If Dawes was from any other country she would have made it. Her AA beam score would have tied Lilia for the silver. Dawes was certainly not worse on beam than Gogean who ended bronze. Too bad for Dawes Moceanu didnt do the routine in team she did here or Dawes would have been in finals and probably medaled. Wouldnt have beat Miller though.

@benrobinson77 IMO Dawes never looked completely comfortable on the beam in Atlanta. She struggled in compulsories and looked shaky in team optionals. Shannon was just so consistent. I love Dawes too but Shannon was just better these Games.

Does anyone know the difficulty rating on the "Miller" it was Shannon's signature move for most of her career on the beam... I'm just curious cause you hardly ever see anyone else in present times performing it.. Thanks..
Carpentersfan2003 2 years ago
@Carpentersfan2003 back then it was rated an E element, back then an E element was the most difficult in gymnasitcs, there was no F, or G, so the miller was one of the most difficult skills you could do
luv4cookie1 2 years ago
...this might sound like a stupid question....but why in this time when a gymnast competed a full in double back they completed the twist in the fist flip, infact in the fist quarter of the double flip, and now they do complete the twist all over the flip.
azuritefire5 2 years ago
Well the dismount is a full-in which means the twist is on the fist tuck the "in", if a gymnast were to do it on the entire double tuck it would be half in half out, half a twist on the first tuck and half a twist on the second.
gymnasticsloverxoxo 2 years ago
true actually if you look closley she does the full twist first,, then the 2 somersaults,, hence "full in" which means she did a full twist first then "into" 2 back somersaults,, then theres the 1/2 in 1/2 out,, she would do a half twist into the first somersault and a half twist outta the second,, then theres a "full out" which means she does a back somersault then a full twist on the second somersault butits all the same "hard off beam" LOL

TaylorSwiftRocks0424 2 years ago
She did a split jump into what I think it was a quarter turn to handstand not three-quarter turn to handstand, unless you are talking about Shannon's original move, which is a quarter turn to handstand and moving into another half of turn.

shannon miller was still as graceful and crisp in here, but i think after 1992, her moves became a lot more tighter.

Natalie9911 2 years ago
had all the finalist performed perfectly i would have given miller gold, moceanu silver, and dina kotchekova bronze or silver. i dispise lilia's routine. she's such a beautiful gymnast but her olympic routine i dispised. gogeon should have never been in EF. but i do believe that if any of the 3 chinese gymnast were in EF and hit, miller would not have won
agators212 2 years ago 6
I have to agree here. Lilia dispite her ballet training had a weak beam routine. Gogean had the weakest beam routine over all. I really wish that Mo or Kui had made it to Beam finals. Would have been superb!
yngtxtopbear 2 years ago
I think had she hit Marinescu would have factored in the medals as well-she placed 4th I believe on beam at 1995 World, and tied for the silver medal at Worlds the following year (1996). She also won the title on beam at the Euro Juniors in 1994. Alex had established a good rep on this event leading up to the Games.
faeryquene 2 years ago
@agators212 3 Chinese. Which 3 are you referring to. Mo and Kui I assume, who else. If you mean Liu Xuan then no. She was too underrated and undermarked around then to have been given a higher score than Miller.
ants2876 1 year ago
@ants2876 liu would have scored high...not as high as mo and kui...kui was the only one that hit her optional routine while mo and liu fell on there's but kui fell in compulsories. kui scored a 9.875 in team and mo scored a 9.8 in the AA with a big hop backwards. judges were prolly willing to give her a 10 had she hit and a well deserved one.
agators212 1 year ago
@agators212 Well Miller had a 9.862 in all her beam routines in Atlanta so if you are admiting Xuan wouldnt have scored as high as Kui it wouldnt have been enough to beat Miller. I dont think Xuan would have done any better than maybe beating Gina for the bronze had she been in finals. She just didnt have the reputation and wasnt seen as one of the leading Chinese anywhere.
ants2876 1 year ago
@ants2876 if xuan had been there i think she would have challenged for more than just the bronze. gina should have never even been in the finals nor won a medal with that routine of her's. xuan was the third chinese gymnast. she was more known for her bar routine but her beam was just as good. but mo and kui's were the two best at that time
agators212 1 year ago
@agators212 I disagree. Xuan was never beating Podkopayeva let alone Miller. Mo or Kui yes, Xuan no. Dont get me wrong I like her gymnastics but she wasnt a big enough name or respected enough by the judges. She wasnt capable of more than a 9.8 on any event, even her best events.
ants2876 1 year ago
@ants2876 it's ok...i just am a fan of xuan's gymnastics on bars and beam even if she was underscored and lilia was overscored on beam and bars. xuan should have gottan higher scores on bars but they didn't want to credit her one armed skills more than a C skill. such a shame.
agators212 1 year ago
@agators212 Yeah how ridiculous. She should have won the World bars title at the 96 event Worlds. Khorkina made a big mistake and still tied for the gold with Piskun's excellent routine. What a joke.
ants2876 1 year ago
@ants2876 now i'm gonna have to rewatch it and relive that travesty. almost, but not quite, as bad as gogean winning beam in 97 over kui's far more superior and difficult routine.
agators212 1 year ago
@agators212 Khorkina shouldnt have even been in the medals on bars at the 96 Worlds. She is excellent on bars but to make such a big mistake in an event final as bellyflopping her paked salto and winning was like an insult to the other competitors some who had excellent routines that day especialy Piskun, Severino, and Xuan. As for 97 beam final Gogean probably shouldnt have even medaled that day, or at best a distant bronze behind Kui and Khorkina.
ants2876 1 year ago
@ants2876 i agree with everything you said. its the frustrating part of the sport where athletes are judged, everything is subjective, and cheating may or may not have something to do with the results
agators212 1 year ago
@agators212 Moceanu!?!? Are you on crack. That girl was one of the most overscored gymnasts in history in her teen years. Her form and technique was horrible, almost as bad as Kerrig Strug. If she was not coached by Bela Karolyi and so cute and hyped she would have had a hard time even making the U.S team. Miller, Kochetkova, Podkopayeva, Marinescu, Galieva, should all have outscored Moceanu by two tenths or more if judged fairly but of course Moceanu was overscored so would be closer.
russianskatingfan 1 year ago
@russianskatingfan kochetkova is the only one i would agree with...lilia was also overscored for that horrid routine. all she had was form but everything about that routine was nothing special, especially her tumbling pass. galieva would have been better if she had done that full twist pike dismount. i like marinescu but moceanu was not overscored. but that's your opinion, and i don't care right now
agators212 1 year ago
@agators212 ok you are entitled to be blind to Moceanu's bad form and technique if you wish. :) Thank goodness most others arent. Funny how when she was no longer cute, tiny, and coached by Bela her scores went down the drain even though her gymnastics eventually improved. And what were Moceanu's great skills on beam? Just her three layout pass which she usually fell on anyway. Jaycie Phelps was a better gymnast than Moceanu.
