[MadeleinePhillips666]

She deserved the Gold. But she take off the Shushunova with full turn on Beam, because the fall at team finals, and her SV was not harder than in Prelims.

Best Arabian ever, and a front aerial with take off from 2 feet, don't see that too often.

[tmwalkerm]

who was the first woman to do an arabian on the beam?

[GymnasticsFan1144]

@tmwalkerm No I think she was the 2nd because Viktoria Karpenko was the 1st :)

[tmwalkerm]

@GymnasticsFan1144 thanks, I was just curious :)

[zhangshinyi]

so wait, she took out the part she fell on in the tf right??

[SuperBodee1]

i rank this routine in the top 10 best for so many reasons, not just the arabian. her style is amazing.

Al: "I think I'd pause too if I was going to do that."

Al needed to pause before he took this job.

China was disqualified from the 2000 games so she should have won a lot of metals.

[Hathor9901]

@LCAmarkymark they were only disqualified from the team competition

[LCAmarkymark]

@Hathor9901 thats sad...they should de disqualified for the entire olympics in all gymnastics events to learn a lesson..or they will keep doing it. Or change the rules and let anyone compete. You can't have it both ways.

[GymFloozie]

She was so great! And she never even wanted to do gymnastics. She never was fulfilled by it.

[bbhouk1]

@GymFloozie what do you mean

[gamgeegirl87]

Did she win a medal for this?

[jezmerallia]

I believe she got silver.

[Querzeo]

@jezmerallia silver went to Raducan.

[jezmerallia]

@Querzeo No it didn't. Lui Xuan got gold. Lobaznyuk got silver. Produnova got bronze.

[Timic83pronc]

@Querzeo Raducan didn't qualify.

[kakumei77]

Not only that but the way she did it~! No has ever done it so clean and good even Carley Pattersons was a little sloppy!

[Lyssenk0]

Back when Arabians were so few and far between. This was the first time I ever saw it performed!
