Shannon Miller Uneven Bars - 2000 US Olympic Trials Day 1

[LaurenAlexandra711]

I think he mostly rotated her by her legs so she landed on her back instead of her head

[katie66bug]

If it's not the "Miller" then what is it? Am I missing something? LOL I think Nunno helped to break Shannon's fall a little bit...didn't look like a catch to me either...:)

[isabel31gymnastics]

Is it just me or does she look more ummm larger larger is the chest and just all around I mean don't get me wrong she dosent look fat just a little bit less m musclely and more like a normal 23 year old lol

[Stonymypony]

She looks so much more filled out than in 1996. Did she take time off or did she finally hit a growth spurt?

[omegalavender]

9.712? LOL @ these critically ridiculous judges...

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

@omegalavender I actually thought it was a little over scored, same score as chow who had more difficult and original skills.

[gravyboatK]

How'd she find the time to train AND find a husband?

[jukodebu]

@iloveyourstory he caught a 100 lb bag of parrot face, Oh thats so mean...

[keelypaige]

I work for Steve Nunno, hahah!

[Xizora209]

Miller got fat. Plus she lied about having a stalker and she cheated on her husband with a married man.

[keelypaige]

@Xizora209 She didn't "get fat." It's called maturing as a woman.

[NYCBlonde]

@Xizora209 What is this, TMZ? Get a life. Oh, and your kids are all going to have eating disorders--good luck with that!

[nicolesingle12]

wow that was cool and i agree great catch by coach nunno i didnt see him catch anything ethier lol

[333smilee]

i'm not a gymnast... but didn't that seem a little short? 

[balletgirl21100]

WOW!!! SHANNON STUCK THAT GOOD!

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

Very smart of her to curl in a ball after missing her hand.

[metsdudenj]

@luv4cookie1 And right after the nose and chin job

[NYCBlonde]

@metsdudenj ....and? Who cares? Why are so people so *gasp OMGaaaaahhhhd she did something to her face!!!!!!!* I will never understand why people care about that crap. A nose job is like an abortion--it's nobody's business but their own.

[timo5494]

the hop full is called the miller and has been for years

[Yuri92001]

@timo5494 Does anyone actually HAVE the code of points handy to prove so?

[MissAliciaDee]

@timo5494 Actually: "The Miller" is the move she performed on beam in the 1993 worlds - the backflip 3/4 turn to split handstand, then lowering on to the beam

[tmc8802]

@MissAliciaDee The skill you're talking about is actually a back flip 1/4 turn immediate half pirouette to split, and it was never named after her officially.

[HeyButtahfly]

For the last time, Tim Daggett: That is NOT called "the Miller"!

Good routine. Well done!

[Mikizzle15]

@HeyButtahfly That is called the Miller, but Shannon also has more than one gymnastic move named after her. It's kind of like Dominique Dawes, she has a 1 1/2 pirouette on the bars and she has the back uprise from a release skill named after her.

[macassar88]

The hop full is called a Chusovitina.

[dcumr]

It is the "Miller" ... just is never referred to as the miller. Dawes was the first to do the 1.5 pirouette which EVERYONE does now and officially its called the "Dawes". I believe Miller has 3 and dawes has 2, so does Chow...

[HeyButtahfly]

The hop-full, which Miller did here and the commentator referred to as the "Miller" is named after Oksana Chusovitina in the Code of Points- therefore it is the "Chusovitina" and not the "Miller." Shannon Miller has one move named after her on the uneven bars, but it is completely different from a hop-full. Don't believe everything you hear from commentators.

[1Timoteo41]

@HeyButtahfly hahahaha

[1Timoteo41]

@HeyButtahfly so what is it called, someone commented also it is called the Miller, read the comments.

[marieked]

@HeyButtahfly hehe, ya I know.. but if she had done it in international competition they were hoping it would be recognized as the "Miller".

[boytoyville]

@HeyButtahfly I thought that the code credited Miller and Chusovitna with the full over on uneven bars.

[MistRDonuT94]

@HeyButtahfly isnt it a chusovitina in women's gymnastics? i know its called a quast in men's

[HeyButtahfly]

@MistRDonuT94 Yes, in WAG it's the Chusovitina. I once saw the skill referred to as a "Thomas" in MAG, but in my youth I read a lot of gymnastics books with less-than-accurate info so I assume you're right.

[mrparke007]

Talk about CLAW BANGS! DANG!
