God, I'm nearly 30 now- I remember watching this routine non stop day after day for years. Glad to see a new generation of gymnasts appreciate this routine (and Ms. Miller) as much as I did- and still do.
@LMA629 And for the record that is sooo stupid and ridiculous because it takes away from the artistry of the sport and makes it more unnecessarily difficulty
obviously a beautiful routine, but I don't think that one should be allowed to do the same tumbling pass twice (full in); it would have been better to have at least one tumbling run show some twisting or a front tumble.
@PekoeDeLaRosa666 You have to remember, this was 1992. However, the rules at the time dictated that two tumbling runs could not be the same. However, specific elements could be repeated. You will notice in the first tumbling run, she did a whip through to the full-in, whereas the last one was missing the whip. So while the final elements of each run were the same, they were in fact, different tumbling runs. Additionally, front tumbling was not rewarded at that time as it is today.
@darkexcalibur87 the judges don't demand the true dance elements anymore, jumps and leaps have replaced the grace and choreography, so in a sense the floor is a trampoline-esque apparatus because all they do is jumps in between the tumbling runs.
As much as the big twisting, rotating, flipping skills that complete these tumbling passes are exciting what I enjoy most are perfect back handsprings such as those here - legs tight, great body line and then she has the presence of mind to land in that beautifully balletic swan-like pose.
though im not a fan of the really classical floor music, im so glad she ditched that cutesy "when the saints go marching in" music from the 1991 worlds
TOP TEN THINGS STEVE NUNNO DID FOR SHANNON MILLER AT THE 1992 BARCELONA OLYMPICS 10. Instructed her that the city is not pronounced ??Barcelonie.?? 9. Bought her?1?3 six wax kits and confiscated all her razor blades.
8. Paid Lu Li $25 to stand next to Shannon so Shannon could set her stress monitor kit on Lu??s head. 7. Turned a blind eye when she and Roza Galieva threw an all-night binge on celery and Tic Tacs. 6. Told her to stop twisting her shoulders on the podium because it makes her look like Ralph Kramden, only 300 pounds smaller.
5. Repeatedly fielded her question:?1?3 If the Chinese girls are too young to compete here, where am I too young to compete? 4. Kept her away from Svetlana Boginskaya when Bogi was about to take an Advil and Shannon wanted to explain that with faith in God, drugs aren??t necessary. 3. Spoke with a Spanish past-life regressionist after Shannon told him she was the reincarnation of Sylvia Plath.
2. Spent ten minutes playing Mom when Shannon asked him what people used tampons?1?3 for.1. Privately told Dominique Dawes: ??If?1?3 you start crying again and make Shannon cry, I??m going to smear Crazy Glue on the horse before your next vault, and when you stick it, you??re gonna rip the motherfucker out of the ground and get a 6.2 ?C unless Elfie has anything to say about it, in which case it??ll be lower.??

Watching this routine again after many years, I'm still not seeing what was so great about it. She had easier tumbling than most of the other top gymnasts. And while she had nice polish, she seems to scream 'Little Miss Priss' with her style.
@gk891 um she had pretty top tumbling i would say, most gymnast's first passes were whips to full in's, everyone had a double pike, or double back, shannon has a whip to a pike double back, and she had another full in, and she had by far the most interesting choreo, that acually matched the music. And i personally think you don't have the right to say grace and elegance screams "little miss priss"
@gk891 she was attempting nothing. go and watch other peoples routines from that era. she was among the most graceful. and really i'm gonna put it this way... could you do anything that would even come close to being that difficult? appreciate it. because its frikin hard.

@gk891 ummm.... that's called ARTISTRY. and that's what made the routine special. and really, her tumbling is just as good as the top athletes of 2010!
Like I said, she had good polish and line but her dance consisted of a ton of prissy arm waving. I do not call that artistry. When it came to dance & choreography, I much preferred Onodi, Yang (although her tumbling was even easier than Miller's), Lysenko, Boginskaya (although she had very weak tumbling in 1992), and Mitova. All were far more artistic than Miller in my personal opinion. But if you think Miller was graceful and artistic, go ahead. To me, she screamed Little Miss Priss.
definitley underscored. tatiane scored higher and she had an even bigger step. i dont care if her routine was much more dynamic....it was less consistent and thats what matters. shannons routine was out of a 10, and she deserved the AA gold.
Gutsu's tumbling was far more difficult than Miller's and more powerful too . Miller's step was almost as bad as Gutsu's on the first pass, and Miller had hard landings on all passes. If Gutsu was overscored on floor Miller was even moreso. If not taking steps was all that mattered than Okino should have gotten a higher score than Miller on floor even with her simple double backs.
@heninwarrior you are so blind, if you see her first and last pass they are landed lightly, you and all the other crazed gutsu fans don't see clearly or think straigh. It doesn't matter how difficult the tumbling pass Gutsu's step foward should of been 2 tenths and they didn't even take a tenth off, and Just letting u know if you know anything about gymnastics step forwards are more costly then steps back, I mean it's okay you like gutsu better then miller but it's not polite to trash her
@TwisterFlipp95 Underscored!?! You are a crazy fool. Easier tumbling than virtually all the other top gymansts, gross form on her full ins with that huge cowboyed tuck, boring presentation and music, and a big step back on her middle pass. She was overscored. Nothing higher than a 9.850.
@TwisterFlipp95 I would be fine with Gutsu getting a 9.9 as long as Miller got nothing higher than a 9.850 with that big step back and overall weaker routine otherwise. Milo, Bontas, and Onodi had far better routines than both of them anyway. If Gutsu had hit her routine though it was 10 worthy with the difficulty and explosiveness of her tumbling. By the way for all the talk of Shannon's form, Gutsu's tumbling form is better than Shannon on floor. Shannon's tuck full ins on floor are ugh.
I guess I agree but I am still on Shannons side. I'm sorry but that step on Gutsus first pass, her short landing on her second, and her crappy one on the last one just didn't seem like a winning routine.
@TwisterFlipp95 umm are we watching the same routine (meaning Gutsu's routine). Gutsu had great landings on her 2nd and 3rd passes. Only her 1st pass was short and yes had a bad landing. Miller's 2nd pass landing was almost as bad though, and her 1st pass even had a big lunge.
They way Gutsu lands on her second pass, stepping forward and her shoulders dropped, indicates that she landed short. On her last pass, she did not lunge back, you could see it. Form and lunge backs weren't deducted. Shannon's only big deduction was on her second pass.
@TwisterFlipp95 It doesnt matter if Gutsu has an extra deduction as Gutsu's overall tumbling is far better to begin with. If both hit their routines cold Gutsu would deserve a MUCH higher score and only got a bit of one so the judges did consider their mistakes. Not to mention Miller in no way deserved a higher score than Gutsu on beam just before this, that was a joke.
@russianskatingfan acually i hated gutu's tumbling. She did not deserve a 9.925 she was just trying to be a big show off by doing a split legged double layout, and ruining it for herself by taking the step, gutsu was overscored, she deserved a 9.9 so did miller. And beam news flash miller had 2 bobbels stuck dismount gutsu had 3 bobbels step on the landing on her dismount on beam

gutsu+miller both did a great job on bars (scored there were fine)
i'm going to have to go with miller on beam, but gutsu did a good job too
floor shannon had some low landing but lunges were allowed then. gutsu overall did a better job, but the deduction for the first step alone was worth .1 therefore her routine should've been lower
vault shannon had an incredible first vault that deserved a ten no matter what you say go and try and find a deduction in it gutsu had bad form
@kiwigymnast16 No Miller was not better on beam. She had two glaring balance breaks which were bigger than any of Gutsu's. Gutsu had more difficulty and better amplitude too. It as a joke Miller outscored Gutsu on beam and the beam judges should be ashamed. On floor both had a mistake and Gutsu had far better tumbling so Gutsu deserved a higher score.
@selesfan30 are you serious? I HATE obsessed fans, miller's first pass had power and elegance and she didn't have a big lunge it was acually small, and it was preformed perfectly
@selesfan30 are you serious? I HATE obsessed fans, miller's first pass had power and elegance and she didn't have a big lunge it was acually small, and it was preformed perfectly
@beckerbombs you're a crazy fool for implying that her routine sucked! it wasn't boring! it was grace and presence, something all gymnasts these days could use. and really, lots of people had the same tumbling as shannon.
@beckerbombs some people are really insane but no offense but just because you don't like a gymnast doesn't mean they didn't have a good routine when it was good. And please Gutsu should of got 1.5 tenths off on that step foward a 9.925 was a joke, and you have no right to call beautiful dance and elegance boring, her music is classical and pretty and idk what you where looking at if her presentation was boring. i mean open your eyes, you can state your opinion but u can't go that far
in the gymnastics olympic trials i saw shannon miller!!! and i saw a famous gymnast like carly patterson or someone and she was singing!! i saw shawn johnson and nastia liukin too!! im lucky i got to the gymnastics olympic trials!!
I think it is right if you put in the athlete who has a better shot to medal and if the only reason they missed qualifying was by something like fluke (eg- a fall). Do you really think Galieva is even close to a better gymnast than Gustu? Of course not, they were not even in the same league. The fall cost Gutsu .5 and she still missed qualifying by only 0.03 around. Galieva was clearly better than Strug at the time but still would have been no higher than maybe 7th in the AA.
@russianskatingfan So it is okay to cheat if you can win? What kind of screwed up logic is that? Roza actually had a lot of difficulty in 1992 and was much better in 92 then in 96. What does it tell you that the coaches wanted to pull Bogi instead of Roza but were afraid of the politics of it all?
I shouldn't even bother trying to explain this to you since I have heard all about your Nastia fanastica-ism.
Roza was not better in 1992 than 1996. In 1996 she was a contender for an AA and beam medal, and one of the stars of her team along with Khorkina and Kochetkova. In 1992 she was not a contender for any individual medal. She was the 5th or 6th best Soviet who qualified for the AA by fluke with Gutsu's fall on beam and even Tschovitina's fall on bars. Bogi was never being pulled, that was dumb John Tesh invented drama. Lastly I am not even a Nastia fan so you are talking out of your ass.
Oh look you thumb downed my comments and thumb upped yours JUST LIKE I SAID YOU WOULD. You just proved that I was right and you post under multiple names.
Sorry but I disagree with that-Liukin, Shawn Johnson, and Patterson's achievements are nothing to sneeze at. And unlike Miller, Liukin WON her Olympics AA. And in their day U.S. gymnasts like Tracee Talavera, Kathy Johnson, Julianne McNamera and Rhonda Faehn had to battle Soviet bloc judging-but they were great in their own way as well.
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.
Actually back then coached replaced gymnasts with other gymnasts into the AA all the time. Not just the Unified as well. Mostepanova was replaced by Shushunova at the 85 Worlds by faking injury. Bogi replaced Lysenko into the 1990 Goodwill Games faking injury. Amanar replaced Marinescu at the 96 Games faking injury. I bet if Strug had beaten out Zmeskal because of Kim's fall (I think Kim barely edged her in scores) the Americans would have faked a Strug injury too. Everyone did it then.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
American's fake an injury . . . not even Bela would have been able to get away with that. Strug would have had a press conference telling the world even before the event started.
Amanar replaced Marinescu because Bela decreed it so-not because of injury, but because by 1996 it was within the rules. Marinescu would not have been allowed to compete in beam finals in 1996 (or bars finals in 1997 Worlds) had she withdrawn due to injury. Bela took her out of Worlds AA for Amanar as well-but unfortunately the rules allow it.
Sorry I thought the rules had changed in 97. I wouldnt think even if you pulled someone out by injury they couldnt compete in event finals though. Produnova at the 2000 Olympics was pulled out of the AA for Zamo supposably due to injury (that was the offical word whether true or not), but allowed to compete in bar and beam finals.
In anycase if it was within the rules I dont see why you get so upset about it. You are now saying the rules even allowed Bela to make this choice and he did.
Just because it is within the rules does not make it right. It was unethical for a Belu to pull Marinescu (a Bucharest gymnast) from TWO major AA competitions in favor of his own Deva gymnast Amanar. No U.S. head coach would dare pull that crap. The publicity alone would be crushing, and likely lawsuits would follow. Jmo.
You can sue for anything in the States-it doesn't mean you'll win of course. As an instructor at an officer training school told us-in the States-anyone can sue-for anything even if it seems allowed 'in the books'. And they have. Some have won. With a u.s. head coach the greater loss would be in the negative publicity-such a coach would be crucified in the press imo.
While Produnova WAS actually injured (fractured foot), she probally was able to compete. Zamo just gave them a better chance of medalling/winnning. Ironically because in hiindsight, Produnova could have possibly won.
You really can not be an all around gymnast if you do not deserve to be in the all around. Such as in Gutsu's case she fell on beam in team opitionals therefore she is not an all around gymnast even if she did perform a little better in all around.
No thats not what I said. Gutsu is most definitely an all around gymnast, I said she did not deserve to be in the all around because she fell, its too bad she fell but thats life.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You clearly stated "therefore she is not an all-around gymnast." Whether she fell or not, the coaches decided she was the best choice for AA, and she proved them right.
Therefore she is not an all-around gymnast for these Olympics. I did not mean in general. Back at these Olympics it was against the rules to sub in for the all around. So really they broke the rules.
Gutsu had a much higher difficulty then Shannon. Shannon was a much better performer but then again Gutsu's moves were twice as difficult. Such as her full back on beam, three back handsprings to full twisting double back dismount and her double split layout on floor.
metsdudenj, I couldn't agree with you more! I STRONGLY disagree with WSggs. Gutsu's form on bars was VERY subpar when compared to Miller's. Miller did back to back releases, and worked in to her dismount. I give Miller the edge on bars. Gutsu had two mistakes on beam (mount, dismount). Miller did bobble on both her very difficult tumbling series, but stuck her full in perfectly. Tie on floor. Miller's vault was AT LEAST worth .1 more than Gutsu's! It is so clear to me - Miller should've won!

On bars it's a no brainier. Gutsu had much better amplitude. She had much higher releases and didn't catch them with bent arms. Not to mention her double layout was out of the this world.
Floor, well, they both had errors. Gutsu had more difficulty, and thus could afford her errors much moreso than Miller.
I agree with your accessments. I understand the scores on bars and floor pretty much relative to each other. On vault yes Miller should have had a 10 I admit that, however on beam she should have never outscored Gutsu so Gutsu would have won anyway and even by more if BOTH those events were corrected.
Agreed. If you're going to correct the scores on one event, you have to correct them on all, that's only fair. Floor and bars were about correct, Miller should have gotten a 10 on vault, but round about a 9.825-9.900 on beam. So Gutsu is still the winner no matter which way you spin the needle. She deserved it.
Great minds think alike...The judges werent ready to give an American the AA title as the Soviets still controlled the judging. The reputation of a World Champion team and of their coaches gave them an edge in the eyes of the judges. Miller was scored up in the low 9's when some of her routines could have gone slightly higher. Her beam and vault were very underscored and Gutsu had horrendous form. She didnt deserve the gold medal, and its so obvious!
russian skating fan a double layout is not harder than a full twisting double back, shannon did 2 tatiana did 1, and she didnt even land her double layout, she took a HUGE STEP, shannon stuck both her full twisting oduble backs and had a small step on her double pike! so shut up you think tatiana is better, and if your a russian skating fan then why dont u watch russians on the ice, and stop trashing gymnast that u know are better then the russians, U KNOW LIKE SHANNON MILLER!
russianskating fan, the only reason shannon got a better score on floor was because her step was back wards and tatiana's was foward, so that is why it got a bigger deduction, and if you DO look carefully at the video SHANNON MILLER does to 2 full twisting double back IN PIKE POSITON, and everyone i talk to says that shannon was graceful, and ppl say about tatiana gustu dancing looked like a traffic cop so i suggest you please keep ur mouth shut... i am sorry i just blew out u were being unfair
OK U ASSHOLE RUSSIAN SKATING FAN I AM SICK OF PEOPLE SAYING THAT JUST BECAUSE TATIANA GUSTU HAD MORE DIFFICUTEY THAT SHE WAS A BETTER GYMNAST IF U DO RECALL ON BEAM EVERYTHING WAS WABBLY AND NOTHING WAS STUCK AT ALL EXCEPT HER LAYOUTS! SO I AM SO SICK OF THIS AN SHANNON DIDNT EVEN TAKE A STEP AND IF U ARE A FUCKEN TATIANA GUSTU FAN THEN WHY ARE U WATCHING A SHANNON MILLER VIDEO U HAG! U OBVIOUSLEY KNOW THAT SHANNON IS A BETTER GYMNAST AND Ur just a frontrunner! i hate u,I HATE YOU
I've read russianskatingfan's commentary on several different video sites, both gymnastics and figure skating. I've concluded that he/she is nothing more than an overly opinionated, egotistical, blind BITCH!!! Yes, russianskatingfan is a BITCH!!! But anyway, at least we know the truth and get to enjoy these fine performances for ourselves! Lovely routine from Miller here!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
She deserved the gold. She only had the step, but Tatiana had a huge step. Everything else was perfect besides two bobbles on the beam, but all of her dismounts were stuck.
She and Tatiana both had a big step on floor. Miller had way weaker tumbling with less difficulty, less power, and weaker form. Gutsu should have outscored Miller by more then 0.025 on floor. On beam Gutsu killed Miller and should have outscored by by atleast 0.050 and the judges gave Miller the higher score which was retarded. Miller was lucky to even get 2nd over Milo and Bogi.
No there steps were basically the same. Miller's step back was huge also. Gutsu was deducted for hers though while Miller wasnt. Miller's two significant wobbles on beam and her big step back on floor were ignored by judges. A couple full twisting double backs is easy compared to what Gutsu, Milo, Bontas, and others were doing. Calling someone retarded is the sign of frusteration and of a weak argument.
i just think this the most beautiful floor routine ever

Like I said, she had good polish and line but her dance consisted of a ton of prissy arm waving. I do not call that artistry. When it came to dance & choreography, I much preferred Onodi, Yang (although her tumbling was even easier than Miller's), Lysenko, Boginskaya (although she had very weak tumbling in 1992), and Mitova. All were far more artistic than Miller in my personal opinion. But if you think Miller was graceful and artistic, go ahead. To me, she screamed Little Miss Priss.

TwisterFlipp95 1 year ago
Gutsu's tumbling was far more difficult than Miller's and more powerful too . Miller's step was almost as bad as Gutsu's on the first pass, and Miller had hard landings on all passes. If Gutsu was overscored on floor Miller was even moreso. If not taking steps was all that mattered than Okino should have gotten a higher score than Miller on floor even with her simple double backs.

@heninwarrior you are so blind, if you see her first and last pass they are landed lightly, you and all the other crazed gutsu fans don't see clearly or think straigh. It doesn't matter how difficult the tumbling pass Gutsu's step foward should of been 2 tenths and they didn't even take a tenth off, and Just letting u know if you know anything about gymnastics step forwards are more costly then steps back, I mean it's okay you like gutsu better then miller but it's not polite to trash her
moopoo66 1 year ago 2
@TwisterFlipp95 Underscored!?! You are a crazy fool. Easier tumbling than virtually all the other top gymansts, gross form on her full ins with that huge cowboyed tuck, boring presentation and music, and a big step back on her middle pass. She was overscored. Nothing higher than a 9.850.
beckerbombs 1 year ago
@beckerbombs
if this floor routine deserved a 9.850 then most of tatianas routines deserved no more then a 9.900, especially floor.
TwisterFlipp95 1 year ago
@TwisterFlipp95 I would be fine with Gutsu getting a 9.9 as long as Miller got nothing higher than a 9.850 with that big step back and overall weaker routine otherwise. Milo, Bontas, and Onodi had far better routines than both of them anyway. If Gutsu had hit her routine though it was 10 worthy with the difficulty and explosiveness of her tumbling. By the way for all the talk of Shannon's form, Gutsu's tumbling form is better than Shannon on floor. Shannon's tuck full ins on floor are ugh.

@beckerbombs
I guess I agree but I am still on Shannons side. I'm sorry but that step on Gutsus first pass, her short landing on her second, and her crappy one on the last one just didn't seem like a winning routine.
TwisterFlipp95 1 year ago
@TwisterFlipp95 umm are we watching the same routine (meaning Gutsu's routine). Gutsu had great landings on her 2nd and 3rd passes. Only her 1st pass was short and yes had a bad landing. Miller's 2nd pass landing was almost as bad though, and her 1st pass even had a big lunge.
selesfan30 1 year ago
@selesfan30
They way Gutsu lands on her second pass, stepping forward and her shoulders dropped, indicates that she landed short. On her last pass, she did not lunge back, you could see it. Form and lunge backs weren't deducted. Shannon's only big deduction was on her second pass.
TwisterFlipp95 1 year ago 2
@TwisterFlipp95 It doesnt matter if Gutsu has an extra deduction as Gutsu's overall tumbling is far better to begin with. If both hit their routines cold Gutsu would deserve a MUCH higher score and only got a bit of one so the judges did consider their mistakes. Not to mention Miller in no way deserved a higher score than Gutsu on beam just before this, that was a joke.

gutsu+miller both did a great job on bars (scored there were fine)
i'm going to have to go with miller on beam, but gutsu did a good job too
floor shannon had some low landing but lunges were allowed then. gutsu overall did a better job, but the deduction for the first step alone was worth .1 therefore her routine should've been lower
vault shannon had an incredible first vault that deserved a ten no matter what you say go and try and find a deduction in it gutsu had bad form
kiwigymnast16 1 year ago
@kiwigymnast16 No Miller was not better on beam. She had two glaring balance breaks which were bigger than any of Gutsu's. Gutsu had more difficulty and better amplitude too. It as a joke Miller outscored Gutsu on beam and the beam judges should be ashamed. On floor both had a mistake and Gutsu had far better tumbling so Gutsu deserved a higher score.

I think it is right if you put in the athlete who has a better shot to medal and if the only reason they missed qualifying was by something like fluke (eg- a fall). Do you really think Galieva is even close to a better gymnast than Gustu? Of course not, they were not even in the same league. The fall cost Gutsu .5 and she still missed qualifying by only 0.03 around. Galieva was clearly better than Strug at the time but still would have been no higher than maybe 7th in the AA.

@russianskatingfan So it is okay to cheat if you can win? What kind of screwed up logic is that? Roza actually had a lot of difficulty in 1992 and was much better in 92 then in 96. What does it tell you that the coaches wanted to pull Bogi instead of Roza but were afraid of the politics of it all?
I shouldn't even bother trying to explain this to you since I have heard all about your Nastia fanastica-ism.
GymTruthTeller 2 years ago
Roza was not better in 1992 than 1996. In 1996 she was a contender for an AA and beam medal, and one of the stars of her team along with Khorkina and Kochetkova. In 1992 she was not a contender for any individual medal. She was the 5th or 6th best Soviet who qualified for the AA by fluke with Gutsu's fall on beam and even Tschovitina's fall on bars. Bogi was never being pulled, that was dumb John Tesh invented drama. Lastly I am not even a Nastia fan so you are talking out of your ass.

Sacramones performance was terrible during the olympics and was the reason why Team USA lost.

Actually back then coached replaced gymnasts with other gymnasts into the AA all the time. Not just the Unified as well. Mostepanova was replaced by Shushunova at the 85 Worlds by faking injury. Bogi replaced Lysenko into the 1990 Goodwill Games faking injury. Amanar replaced Marinescu at the 96 Games faking injury. I bet if Strug had beaten out Zmeskal because of Kim's fall (I think Kim barely edged her in scores) the Americans would have faked a Strug injury too. Everyone did it then.

American's fake an injury . . . not even Bela would have been able to get away with that. Strug would have had a press conference telling the world even before the event started.
bardtoob 2 years ago
Amanar replaced Marinescu because Bela decreed it so-not because of injury, but because by 1996 it was within the rules. Marinescu would not have been allowed to compete in beam finals in 1996 (or bars finals in 1997 Worlds) had she withdrawn due to injury. Bela took her out of Worlds AA for Amanar as well-but unfortunately the rules allow it.
faeryquene 2 years ago
Sorry I thought the rules had changed in 97. I wouldnt think even if you pulled someone out by injury they couldnt compete in event finals though. Produnova at the 2000 Olympics was pulled out of the AA for Zamo supposably due to injury (that was the offical word whether true or not), but allowed to compete in bar and beam finals.
In anycase if it was within the rules I dont see why you get so upset about it. You are now saying the rules even allowed Bela to make this choice and he did.
russianskatingfan 2 years ago
Just because it is within the rules does not make it right. It was unethical for a Belu to pull Marinescu (a Bucharest gymnast) from TWO major AA competitions in favor of his own Deva gymnast Amanar. No U.S. head coach would dare pull that crap. The publicity alone would be crushing, and likely lawsuits would follow. Jmo.
faeryquene 2 years ago
If it was within the official rules that a coach was permited to do this there couldnt be lawsuits, even in the U.S.

You can sue for anything in the States-it doesn't mean you'll win of course. As an instructor at an officer training school told us-in the States-anyone can sue-for anything even if it seems allowed 'in the books'. And they have. Some have won. With a u.s. head coach the greater loss would be in the negative publicity-such a coach would be crucified in the press imo.

While Produnova WAS actually injured (fractured foot), she probally was able to compete. Zamo just gave them a better chance of medalling/winnning. Ironically because in hiindsight, Produnova could have possibly won.

Agreed. If you're going to correct the scores on one event, you have to correct them on all, that's only fair.

Great minds think alike...The judges werent ready to give an American the AA title as the Soviets still controlled the judging.

She and Tatiana both had a big step on floor. Miller had way weaker tumbling with less difficulty, less power, and weaker form. Gutsu should have outscored Miller by more then 0.025 on floor.

No there steps were basically the same. Miller's step back was huge also. Gutsu was deducted for hers though while Miller wasnt. Miller's two significant wobbles on beam and her big step back on floor were ignored by judges. A couple full twisting double backs is easy compared to what Gutsu, Milo, Bontas, and others were doing. Calling someone retarded is the sign of frusteration and of a weak argument.
