Jaycie Phelps - 1996 Olympics Team Optionals - Floor Exercise

[dahighbar]

The best floor routine of her life!!

[137LE]

Jaycie is now my coach in gymnastics at Jaycie Phelps Athletic Center!! her gym has taught me so much more than the sport itself!!! i don't know where i would be without the help of her and all the other coaches :) -Elaine

her music is so awkward... speeding nascar sounds? really though? lol

[tomsk14]

Phelps, Moceanu and Miller were my favourite, Not a fan of Strugg, Borden or Dawes Im afraid..... Chow I enjoyed but saw little of.

[crazygympuppy]

[username98ish]

your amazing. i want to be like you someday

[espinaca79]

That full in dismount was totally awesome!

[kwankwan73]

great

she has beautiful lines!

[LCAmarkymark]

This routine was quite difficult for the time. She did a wonderful job.

Your lucky @1996crazyfun

They MAG 7 won their gold because every single member of the team brought their A game and rocked that stadium. All of them. Jaycie and Amanda were vital to that team!

[TikiBoy382]

Probably the best second pass I've ever seen her do! If you watch Nationals and Trials, she bobbled the second pass, never looked good...and its great to see that she was able to work that out for the Olympics...even though she had a huge bounce at the end, the pass looked beautiful! She's one of my fav's, she never got the attention she deserved!

[1996crazyfun]

shes my coach now=)

its funny how people says she blows, but a lot of the skills she did at these olympics were also done by liukin in 2008. strange?

[garaa9696]

Even though she was overshadowed here... she will always be that awesome girl who really did almost beat Miller at nationals!

[arabiandouble]

high ass full-in

[iloveyourstory]

There was so much magic in the 96' Olympics. It was pretty much dead in the 2000 Olympics.

[NurdyRhythm]

@iloveyourstory I definitely see what you mean. Every girl looked like she was having fun, or at the very least, comfortable on floor ex., even if it wasn't her best event. It certainly seemed they had great say in their music/routine. The choreography was just so characteristic to each girl. It really made their individual personalities shine. Nowadays a lot of girls, even if they have great dance skill, look like they're going through the motions and not really enjoying themselves.

[TwisterFlipp95]

is it jsut me or does she have the highest full in you've ever seen?

like, pause at 1:29, shes so high and has so much room left.

[GymMonkeyAz]

i LOVE her music!

[iloveyourstory]

Wow she is good!!

[GosfordAbercrombie]

omg her dance jumps are so good!!!!

[maharet1841]

@GosfordAbercrombie agreed lots of ballet there

[toriluvsgym0618]

nobody every gives her any props. they only pay attention to kerri, shannon and domenique m. she was one of my favs.

[tmwalkerm]

@toriluvsgym0618 I agree, but she was the lead off athlete in all the team events, that's not an easy position to be in and she did well in all her routines. But yeah, we hardly heard anything about Jaycie or Amanda Borden either, was too bad.

[tmwalkerm]

@toriluvsgym0618 I agree, as much as I like the other 3, Jaycie and Amanda were my favorites :).

[tmwalkerm]

@toriluvsgym0618 I agree, her floor compulsories was my favorite, she was so elegant but had HUGE tumbling and height on her jumps.

[ritabee86]

i love this routine!! its one of my all time favorites.. My favorite part is when she slides across the floor at 0:40 and the intro at the beginning

[SmartAlecHuntress]
