Andreea Raducan - 2000 Olympics AA - Balance Beam

[desglacons]

Give this girl the medal she deserves. A great champion!

[anamria2012]

i love her and it's too bad she didn't get her medal

[BobRobertTheMusicMan]

nice stick.

[desglacons]

That dismount was fabu. Give her back her medal!

[fan2051949]

Iti multumesc mereu Andreea,de cate ori revad exercitiile tale,uit de toate necazurile si supararile si retraiesc emotiile

[zeldafreak701]

Have you seen what she looks like now? She is absolutely GORGEOUS!

[msms68]

shes awesome

[zhangshinyi]

still don't understand why the olympic committee won't give this back to her..... it's really easy to feel sympathy for her :\

[Yuri92001]

No one else I know considers anyone else the gold champion but her! She will always be the AA champ...She was then and she still is now :)

[SimplyGraceStyle]

Soundtrack from Disney's Alladin for whoever is on floor, haha!

[laurenBbyxx3]

how old was she here?

[kras118]

@laurenBbyxx3 16!

[dbhmr]

Love her and this routine, but the judges were pretty lenient with that tucked full. She still received a 9.787. Granted, the rest of the routine was flawless, but a lesser known gymnast probably would have received a bigger deduction and lost bonus.

She's easily in my top three favorite gymnast from this quadrennium, though (with Atler and Produnova).

C'est trop beau son salto poisson a 0:38

: )

[armywifeftbragg]

This was a good routine.  The only thing I don't like about it is the excess swinging of her legs on her lower beam work and also the almost exaggerated arm movements before she commits to her combination.

[Hathor9901]

Its nice to see her routines in different angles

[justin1gibson]

she dosent have to have a long routine, everything in this short one is perfect. why have a long and drawn out routine if you can get it done and get it done well in a short amount of time. she is so good!!!

[dinaelenn]

cata nedreptate i-a fost facuta din pacate

[xolemonlime2]

She is so adorable. It's so sad to see the Olympic rules only getting worse and worse for athletes like Andreea.

[crisXblue12]

her routine was not short

it was beautiful

[huntasoup]

She reminds me of Gina Gogean on the balance beam, everything looks so easy and she does not show her stress at all.

[garyj79]

like how the music was in time with her right at end....in fact it was note perfect right up to her landing her DB pike!!!

[mkkolasa97]

i liked te gainer to the bhs and the double pike dismount!

[lorilora92]

a fost o gimnasta foarte buna...bv Andreaa!!!

[Katerzyna23]

very short routine

[Kevinsf]

that Elfie is annoying as hell.

[ikissonthelips]

her mount was beautifully done!

[gymnast768]

so was the dismount! lover the form, the pike position, the stuck landing of course!, and espically how her 1st bakchandspring is gainer style. its exquisite.

[thalialuvmx]

andreea is rare, shit i was cheering for her instead of america...bad me, I know

[1robertos00]

she is a great gymnast.... she won... i saw her.... she is no Nadia... but she is really good

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

They are competing in two different era's, the difficulty is much much higher in Raducan's era, you can't really compare them.

[1robertos00]

there are much much than difficulty in the gym code....  year to year difficulty is higher but.....

[morenodelaorilla]

maravillosamente espectacular, ella es hermosísima y además tiene mucho carisma y es elegante. Preciosa igual me gusta la sofronie

[hinginator]

Scandalous the way they took her medal!!!

[briaberger]

Queen Andreea. I loved how regal she was. She just commanded your attention.

[QueenieQue]

I know, she just had great confidence and charisma. Her head and hand motions remind me a bit of Moceanu in her day.

[ralucagymnast]

In her dreams Moceanu would be as good as this: Dominique never learned to point her toes either. Andreea was technically one of Romania's strongest ever gymnasts.

[QueenieQue]

Dominique got better after she left Karolyi; her form was excellent at the 98 Goodwill Games. But as I said earlier, I was referring to her carriage in her upper torso and hands.

[thalialuvmx]

i'm an american and i was rooting for her!!!!!

[markoth97]

@thalialuvmx Hah,im even Serbian and i was rooting for her,my country isn't even competing! :)))))

[faeryquene]

@thalialuvmx I was too! I was so happy when she won-and devastated when she was stripped of her gold medal over some bogus rule.

[faeryquene]

@thalialuvmx I was too!

[LUISFERNANDO2110]

She is the best for me, forever.

[gymnastralohartley]

shes amazing and true olympian!!

[GymnastSingerStar1]

she made a good save

[prettyswish]

best dismount!

[antoine1800]

@prettyswish you must see tatiana gutsu at the 1991 worlds event final before said that SHITS !

[gymnasticschik365]

wow! great! how old is she?

[msalasan]

in 2000 she was almost 17.

[gymnasticschik365]

OH..wow...i thought she was like 12!

[maestriss]

she is fantastic! full stop!

[mrparke007]

Such a beautiful double pike... exquisite body form in the air.
