Shannon Miller - 1996 Olympics Team Compulsories - Vault

[mortella23]

I now Lilia is a fantastic gymnast and I have full respect for her...but I think Shannon out-classed her in compulsories..on every event

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

Best of the American team.

[PLANETIMAGE1]

If you guys think she was underscored, you should become a gymnastics judge and travel back in time to 96, then score these vaults correctly!!

[luv4cookie1]

i<3 shannon best gymnast ever

[mydogwearsacape]

sorry, but i have to disagree, especially with the fact that multiple people on this thread think she deserved the go 9.9+ on this vault. it didn't deserve to go over 9.8. it was pretty flat, especially compared to amanar, grosheva, and galieva's vaults. 9.762 is an appropriate score

[lostlyrarose]

I don't think it was way off. anywhere from 9.75-9.8 was valid. I think people just couldn't believe what milo got.

[willsbob123]

I would score this vault: 9.925.

[dyingproof]

Mo's compulsory vault was quite piked down actually. I wouldn't call it one of the best technically. Kerri Strug's compulsory vault was huge - I'd split the best compulsory vault between her and Amanar.

Lilia's was high as hell, but a pretty big leg seperation in pre-flight.

[luv4cookie1]

@dyingproof excuse me did you just say FLAT? This vault got height, distance and had EXCELENT form!!!! No offense but you are blind to think that anyone did a better vault that this! Her beam, bars, floor and vault was better that Lilia. She was the best compulsory gymnast in this hole olympics, and she was the best beamer

[hankm77]

What did she score on this?

[aberhottie99]

9.975

[caramelcreamsauce]

I wish :D

[luv4cookie1]

@caramelcreamsauce ya me to!

[uwoeric]

9.762, much too low.

[crownblkprince]

Yes! Shannon, along with the full twisting Yurchenko vault had the ability to make it artisitc.

[todosobretodo]

Very well said!

[Timtation69]

Mo Huilan had the best compulsory vault of the games! Shannon is a Close second! I like the romanian's power on vault and Kerri strugs but as for doing it text book these two rocked it!

[russianskatingfan]

Ummm no. Mo tied for only 10th highest compulsory vault score and Miller tied for 8th highest.

[JonnyG101584]

Mo Huilan's compulsory vault was one of the prettiest at the games. Even if it wasn't the highest score given. It was awesome!

[Timtation69]

Shannon was a voracious competitor! She' like Ok I am gonna do a perfect vault right now when it counts. Just watch me! She is incredible

[gymnasticsforever17]

nice vault
