The vid is awsum but he kissed his coach and sum old guy who I think is his dad um in the mouth what the hell is that about? I mean I would understand if it was his boyfriend but who kisses their Dad in their mouth n sum old guy too that's just sick. I would never kissed my son or daughter in the mouth it just looks wrong, sickening and inappropriate. I'm all for men on men kiss but not 2 old guys is looks nasty and wrong. Other than that the vid was awsum wish the hottie from Russia would have
Its hard breaking that only one man can get the gold, I think they all have unique styles and the difference between them is so small that the judges had a hard job but I think on any given day you could move them around and still be happy with the results.
Li had an amazing triple back, Vital made it look beautiful, Alexi had flare.
One of the best men's all around competitions EVERY - three AA champions and it was neck and neck throughout - that was an amazing gymnastics competition all the way through for both men and women actually. A great year for the sport.
Sacramones performance was terrible during the olympics and was the reason why Team USA lost. With that kind of performance and still made it to the national team, I wonder how many coaches did she have to sleep with in order to get the spot. Her ass is so fat, I think her ass is at least 20 pounds extra compared to her teammates. That was why she brought down Team USA. Stupid bitch should go to Jenny Craig. Alicia will go down as the worst, and most disgraceful gymnast in Olympic history.
WoW! what else is there to say! I can appreciate how great this video is. 3 olympic champions here competing in a magnficant display of athleticism. Vitaly having gained 15lbs from his personal problems and able to get in form by the games, Alexei with his smiles lookin so nonchalant-playin to the crowd; Li, being so short(5'1 i think), having so much power and control. This was an incredible video to watch, bringing back what gymnastics was in the good old days. Scherbo '92, Li '96, Nemov '00.
one of the greatest AA battle in history, still remember watching it live in atlanta AMAZING, all 3 of em' could've won but LI was better that year, all 3 of them has a AA gold so no complain
i want to thank everyone for the comments and discussion. i'm glad to know people are still enjoying this vid. VITALY wrote to me asking for a copy of this and my '92 vid. he sent me an autographed poster of himself which is now hanging in my library :)
@cturtle Wow!! Congratulations and Thanks for this amazing video!! Vitaly was just one of the best gymnasts ever, and i think he was underscored in this Olympics (OMG what a vault he did!!). Thanks again!!!
This definitely was an Olympic AA final for the ages; Li's dynamic power, Nemov's amplitude and style, and Sherbo's amazing comeback from personal tragedy. I feel a nostalgic clinging to the gymnastics of the mid ninties, where amplitude and style were rewarded. I'm not sure I like the direction men's gymnastics has gone these past Olympiads(Beijing especially). It seems the new code of points demands risk-taking to the point of wrecklessness; I won't even go into the travesties in judging.
I am so upset that Scherbo hadn't got his 7th (and may be more) gold after all the troubles in his life the preceding year. Still he was unbelievably good. Not to take anything from Nemov and Li.
Much much better than the 2008 Mens All-Around Final which Yang Wei pretty much won by default. This one was the best All-Around event in Olympic history.
I agree nyc10ken........an amazing 1996 Olympic all-around final. I still think Scherbo was right about the judging and he should have repeated as all-around champion.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
the WORST music I have EVER heard for such a hardcore sport. I have no problem with gay people so dont get me wrong but this is really overboard. Don't you still have a sense of manliness at all? the gay guys I have met wouly at least discern masculine from feminine. thats just my concluson
first off, i don't think gymnastics is gay at all, iagagymchick... i actually take gymnastics. i said the SONG was gay.
Second off, superbitchin7679, is that YOU my dear are an idiot, for not noticing that amongst his videos, cturtle has like 10 videos of gay make out sessions... thats pretty much a high sign right there
regardless of whether or not it was the olympiic anthem, it's still out of place with this video. if it was a women's gymnastics video it would work. it's just not manly.
include breakdance-moves...ho my good I would have payed for not to hear such stupidity..as theKrc said hiphop took a lot from basics disciplins just have to look at the perfect execution of the thomas maid by gymnasts and the "thing" made by others..
naah man! bboying has improved, influenced by the gymnastics...everybody knows that...the hip-hop culture includes a lot of other things which makes it so cool !
cd358.......I agree. This was the best Olympics for men's gymnastics I can remember. Do you remember when Scherbo got low marks for a near perfect vault? That's what cost him the gold medal. I think Scherbo was right about the judges costing him a 2nd Olympic all-around title. Li was great, but that vault was underscored.
What does he look like now? Does he still train? did you get to see this 1996 Olympics live? I really thought Vitaly did enough to defend the Olympic Championship he won in 1992. I was pulling for him because of his devotion to win again for his wife who had the car accident the previous December. He seemed to be the crowd favorite in Atlanta.
Incredible.....Nemov won the all-around Gold medal in 2000.....Scherbo had won it in 1992. These were the three all-around Olympic Champions from 1992, 1996 and 2000.
Nemov was 20 at the 1996 games. The defending champion, Vitaly Scherbo was about 24. I thought Scherbo won this all-around. He was upset and took off the bronze medal when they got off the podium.
Hey Doug! Great to see you again, videographically speaking. Those are some wonderful moments, aren't they. Wow, that one floor routine! His body is so fluid and powerful. I've always loved to watch gymnastics, though I do wish they'd just go ahead and let men have music, too, it's just silly.
This doesn't mean the kiss videos are being replaced though, does it? (please say no)
The vid is awsum but he kissed his coach and sum old guy who I think is his dad um in the mouth what the hell is that about? I mean I would understand if it was his boyfriend but who kisses their Dad in their mouth n sum old guy too that's just sick.
