a good song match for this video is whenever u remember by carrie underwood just take about 15 seconds to 30 seconds off of the video and it will be perfect :0)
whoever posted this it needs and update, every time I try to watch it now I can see the video but the music isn't playing. Please Fix ASAP, I love this video!
It was excerpts from the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack. If you'd like to see this montage with the music, do a search on youtube for "Magnificent 7: Atlanta 1996 Montage (with music)"
I rememebred that old show in 1996, poor her got sprain ankle but she was tough and she's not give up to lose, she want to win, shes very brave, congulations. Im very proud of her and the women usa teams.
not really considering the fact that the soviets kicked our ass basically almost all of the 1900's except in the 1996 olympics in which we won gold for the first time in gymnastics...
I would say they were definitely close. They were the Magnificent 7 - a very close-knit team. There was a lot of friendship among these girls. Kerri Strug was a bridesmaid in Dominique Moceanu's wedding (Dominique Dawes was also there), Jaycie Phelps was a bridesmaid for Shannon Miller (Dominique Dawes was there too), etc. They were definitely very close.
This vid gave me chills! Nice job! Except for that little hitch in music I thought it was perfect. Man, that was one of the most memorable summers of my life. Those games were so intense, so incredible.
escanes put this video back up with the music that was taken off this one. just type in the title and add (with music) lets make this montage great again! PEACE
We Americans need to cherish this, because it's going to be a cold day in hell before the devil goes back down to Georgia and knocks Russians off the balance beam and causes them to lose the team gold.
On the subject of music...does anyone remember the Macarena being pumped out over the PA at the gymnastics between events? I also remember a female Police officer dancing to it while it was playing. Apparently she was reprimanded for it lol
Like I mentioned below, my guess is that it's because the video was using copyrighted music from Pirates of the Caribbean. Although, there are other montages of these olympics that also use copyrighted music, so who knows?
You're right. I didn't want to delete it altogether, so I had no other option than to remove the sound. I might try to do another Magnificent 7 montage sometime.
What a remarkably silly thing for them to do. This video has been viewed over 110 THOUSAND times, with comment after comment about how good the music is. You'd think that they'd love the free advertisement. It's not like you're using the entire CD and making it available for download. You're using snips from just a couple of the songs for Pete's sake!
Is it just me or has the sound been disabled on this vid? I'd guess that there was a copyright infringement from using music from Pirates of the Caribbean. That'd be odd, though, since I assume that the video footage is also copyrighted but is still on Youtube...
The ironic thing is that after seeing this montage, I bought the soundtrack to Pirates, which I'd have never done without this free advertisement.
I love this music! They play this at my daughters tae kwon do school to pump them up!!! Hell, it pumps me up!!!! These girls Rocked!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i live in atlanta and went to some of the olympic games. of course i was only 4. i really wish i could remember this. all i remember is being obsessed with kerri strug!
On a side note, the new scoring system is trash, and the tie breaker on the uneven bars event, while fair in practice, turned out to be garbage - Nastia deserved that medal.
The Chinese did not prove that the Americans were unbeatable, because that has never been true, and China did perform better this Olympic year. Don't forget that the age requirement was not always in place, and younger girls have competed and won. It was put in place to ensure that young girls whose bodies were still growing did not injure themselves, not because they thought that younger girls weren't able to compete.
What's your point? We have always had a solid team, and just because you'll never be good enough to go to the Olympics and even try doesn't mean USA blows. Also, everyone knows those Chinese girls were only like 9 years old.
the thing is; you're both right! alemaniamundial is right, the chinese proved that the americans are not unbeatable, and jackyebabe, u're also right, the chinese didn't win fairly, they cheated with their girls' age. but in the end, they were the better team that night. too many mistakes on the usa side. it'll be an interesting fight to watch in 2009; who'll win the gold medal at the worlds?
u cant' see it that way; true, she was born in russia, but her parents left when she was like 2 years old! she was raised as an american, she is not russian, she says it herself, even though her elegant style is very much russian (through her mum, i guess), she never felt like she was russian! why would she be? her home country is the usa; that's where she's lived 90% of her life!
Don't even mention money and China not needing any for the Olympics you moron... I dare to bring up the fact that China spent the most money on any Olympics ever. 2008 games were used mainly to make China look nice, friendly and most of all POWERFUL. If money isn't important, why do so many soviet champions now live in the USA? Two words: "FREEDOM AND OPPORTUNITY" Quit dising us, lest we find soviet videos and smear them with verbal shit.
Hello! ... I am from Chile, and I am charmed with this video ... undoubtedly I see the development of the sport with this video amazing, that you the Americans ... here in Chile our sport is not proffesional, lamentably we will never be a power..
I remember to see these gymnasts and they are spectacular...
im only in levle thraning 6 the best i can do is a layout on floor and a cartweel back tuck on beam and 3 giants to a layout on bars oh and aierils are easy
i've been in gymnastics for nine years and i can barely do an ariel!!!!!!!they must of had lotsssssssssssssssssssss of training!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!by the way an ariel is a cartwheel with no hands.
amazing vid! well done doublelayout10! the music fits perfectly! any chance u're gonna make a montage with the 2008 usa team? they're not gold medalists, but we still love them! :-)
usually great sports achievements like these only happen ever 20-25 or so years so we probably cant expect something so great to happen again until like 2016. and i dont mean just u.s gold, but a melting pot team and a win with such a dramatic flair...that is what makes the magnificent 7 one of the greatest olympics stories...getting the gold was probably the least impressive thing about them.
this is THEE BEST Female Gymnast Team EVERRRR!!!!great memories(Atlanta 1996)!!!!Dominique Moceanu is too cute(kinda reminds me of Shawn Johnson a little bit)...every female gymnastics team always has one smaller pretite member.=)
I've had strong American pride for the Olympics since 1988. I am thoroughly enjoying the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Michael Phelps is INCREDIBLE, the best ever. But, I will never forget how strong and SELFLESS Kerri Strug was on our home turf in '96. It was AWESOME. PERIOD.
I was two years old during these olympic games. I keep watching these videos and thinking, "Man do I wish I could have been able to watch these on television and expierence what the whole world did." I'm watching the 2008 beijing olympics, and god they're awesome, but what kerri strug did on the vault, that was deffinatly the #1 bravest move in olympic/sports history. And these girls are just phenomenal. GREAT VIDEO! 5*
OMG! I was 10 years old and I remember quite clearly everything that happened on that olympic game... It was so shocking! You made me cry with the video because I refreshed the feelings and the tension I experienced at that time. Great montage!
yeah watching this when i was 9 is one of my strongest memories. it was pure exhilaration and wonder watching them. it will never be this good again, such personality!!
It's called "He's a Pirate" from the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
I think part of what made this moment so special was having the games here in the USA. The girls knew that the whole nation was watching, and they were willing to do everything they could to bring home the medal.
Quite possibly the same feeling that the Chinese athletes have in the current games.
I was 12 yrs old during these games and every little girl was absolutely in love with these girls. I don't even remember exactly what got me to watch the gymnastics because I had never been interested before, but my little friends and I used to jump around the living room and pretend we were in the olympics..and I've loved the women's gymnastics ever since.
I was 12 too, and I was living in Atlanta at the time. These Olympics affected the way that I have watched every Olympics since... we are really lucky to be part of this generation!
Good to know i wasnt the only 1 wit a crush on her while this was goin on.. I was 12 and i remember stretchin at home to try to be in shape for the 2000 olympics.. lol
I really hope that our Women's team can recreate that tingly feeling that I got 12 years ago. I remember just being astonished when I was 10 at what I was seeing.
this and the tara lipinski gold are probably my favorite olympic moments... to me its just unbeliveable people this young can not crack under pressure.
I am a 28 year old male, and when this was on i was 16 years old and sorry to say i hated womens sports. After seeing this video and remembering being glued to the TV when it was on, i can honestly say it was in my mind the greatest olympic game/memory I have. Great video thanks.
this video was awesome// who made it? // ahh i was young at the time and i remember that awesome feeling of the 96 olympics// i wish i could just go back in time// i love it
I know you said this music was from the Pirates soundtracks, but what was the name of the song specifically? I just loved it! This montage was awesome!
well i have not seen much of this years gymnast but Nastia seems to be the next big one for martha...... i find body wise she reminds me of shannon miller.
Ok I absolutely love this! I have watched about 187,000 times since I found it -yesterday I might add :-D It combines two of my favorite things-gymnastics and the Pirates of the Carribean music! You did an amazing job on this video, I especially like the bars part at the beginning because it looks like they are flying! Rock on!

I really hope that our Women's team can recreate that tingly feeling that I got 12 years ago. I remember just being astonished when I was 10 at what I was seeing.
Gymnastics forever!

I am a 28 year old male, and when this was on i was 16 years old and sorry to say i hated womens sports. After seeing this video and remembering being glued to the TV when it was on, i can honestly say it was in my mind the greatest olympic game/memory I have. Great video thanks.

Ok I absolutely love this! I have watched about 187,000 times since I found it -yesterday I might add :-D It combines two of my favorite things-gymnastics and the Pirates of the Carribean music! You did an amazing job on this video, I especially like the bars part at the beginning because it looks like they are flying! Rock on!
