maybe its just me but it kinda wouldnt surprise me if jordyn wieber and Kamerin Moore turned out like this if you think about it friends since they were little jordyn became bigger and is played up like vanessa but it was jamie who ended up on the olympic team
jacoby121, thanks for comment. I'm not discrediting thier absolute dedication to achieve what they long to be, just think things are a bit out of hand these days as far as training styles, and the ever increasing WOW factor pressures they endure. It's borderline brutality when a child has to weap in pain just to be good enough to WOW that little bit more. How good does a routine have to be for a perfect 10? and how much higher is the bar raised for others when one achieves this? and on it goes.
if a gymnast is talented enough and loves the sport enough to get to the elite level they know the sacrifices and work as hard as they can for their goal while doing what they love
MOST successful gymnasts love the sport more than anything and have no regrets
The pain in gymnastics. what are you talkingn about if you you were a gymnast you would most likwly relize how fullfiling and beutiful the sport really is, and its not cruel
oy, wait a minute, u can think whatever u want about gymnastics, but how did you go from hard workout to pedophilia???????????? this has nothing to do with it. stop seeing evil where it isn't.
She was a better tumbler than ANY that we have now, save Shawn Johnson. She did tricks on floor with amplitude instead of crunching in the somis and twists. I'll take her on floor over twistie-wistie Liukin in a heartbeat.
those are strong and cruel words fredannyainge, she was a fablous gymnast and for someone who "sucked" as you put it she made it pretty far and was a top 10 gymnast her entire career, she crashed under pressure but that doesnt take away from how great she was when she hit, you need to be kind and appreciate what she did for the sport rather then trash her like a fool.
This post is so wildly immature. Culminating an entire gymnastics career into "she sucked" and actually trying to call it a fact? To whom--you?
She could, in fact, dance better than most of the US team, and had good from especially for a power gymnast, who are not known for form (Maloney, Strug, Dawes, Produnova, etc.). Watch some gymnastics and grow up.
I think she was excellent at floor and vault; she is infamous for her bar falls and her faultering concentration. After watching some program that she was on recently I came to understand that she was extremely insecure and anxious during her career and is still working through alot of issues. I think her courage to admit that publicly makes her more admirable than many other athletes who tend to ignore their true feelings.

Do US Parents realize the PAIN these girls go through to be perfect gymnasts?
You work like a dog to ensure your children
suffer after a GYMNASTIC-CAREER.
YOU ARE SICK, and this video PROVES what your child "WILL" go through to get "THERE".
Has anyone ever seen a Gymnast after the age of 40? after thier youth TRAINING-TORTURE?
PLEASE... Let KIDS be KIDS for Christs sake. Simply cruel!
Pedophilia always has an answer (guilty),
but this so-called training.
I wonder where is the real damage done ?

She sucked. Sorry but facts are facts.
Besides her power her gymnastics was bad all the way especially form and technique.
If she never had a website losers like you would have seen her for the phony liar her and her mother were.

Her form sucked. Her basics were even worse and her execution was horrible. Even on floor she had bad form and she couldn't not dance.
Her form on vault was also really bad. Preflight, during. She had great height and distance, POWER but overall even her best events she sucked at.

well she might not have been the best gymnast, but think about it this way, were most of your competitions televised from 97' and on?

Sad how Vanessa didn't even make the team and Jamie did, but even when Jamie made the team, USA didn't do a great job.
