Roza Galieva - 1996 Olympics Team Optionals - Balance Beam

[skincareaddicted]

i remember her arms are never raise together, strange

[europegymfan123]

i wish that athletes could perform like this today. its just nit the same anymore, and its sad

[raichmaneuvers]

What a wonderful routine. She deserved a 9.95. Of course she wouldnt get it as the judges on every event were hell bent on making sure the Americans won this day.

If she hit AND did her piked full in from euros, I think she would have had the beam title :)

[AsksOneThing]

She's lucky about that judges conference on the floor after Shannon's routine. She didn't have to do her beam at the same time Kerri was on floor. (But she was not so lucky in the next rotation!)

good job roza!

Such a shame she fell during event finals, could have medaled in second or even first.

[jlwham]

yeah...tt's right. she scored a 9.862 in this team optionals: same score as shannon miller's optionals as well

[gymnasticsloverxoxo]

Was that really her score here?

[EdGringo78]

@gymnasticsloverxoxo 9.862

Best gymnast to never win a World or Olympic individual medal.

[xochipepe]

She won the World Beam title in 1996.

dina kotchetkova won the beam title in 96

[xochipepe]

Yeah, you're right. When I looked it up I thought I had read Worlds when it said Euros. Sorry!

[gymfan06]

haha, its alright, i just wanted to clarify :)

@delicatecutter and so sad what happened to her in 1992. stupid soviet politics. she earned that spot in the all around

[LCAmarkymark]

@LMA629 the politics was crazy...she was uzbek for awhile and then had to do some paperwork just to get back to Russia...that happened in 1995 lol...4 years almost
