I love, love, love Dominique Dawes, but I think that spot on the 2000 team should have gone to Atler.

What was the score?
-
Superb!

@schood85 They finally got their Bronze this past summer
-
@schood85 well at least now they got the bronze medal, 10 years too late, but i am sure it makes them feel happy:)

DAMN SHE WAS SO TALENTED!!! NOT JUST POWERFUL. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN HER IN 98 Rck'n Roll SHE WAS A GREAT DANCER TOO, MAYBE NOT A BALLETIC ONE, BUT SHE COULD DANCE. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
-
@afgymnast96 I know, I blame most of her headcasery on her Coach Steve. A good coach knows how to get their athlete out of a funk and get their heads in the game.
-
@yngtxtopbear i'm a bit doubtful about that.she had consistency problems on some events(her bars were not polished at all),and her balance beam always had a few balance checks. with the vault problem, she might have had issues with her state of mind after that. we'll never know :(
-
holy! she is so talented. i was rooting for her so hardcore that season. bummer about her uneven bar inconsistencies bc she was just an incredible talent!

@stevenh622 A 1 1/2 twist is called a rudi. haha
Atler could have easily led the USA to a team bronze at the 2000 Olympics, as well as taking Gold on Floor, Vault and possibly the All Around.

Yeah def, I wish they let her go to the olympics so we would know what could have happened. Hell, she could have won the all around with all of those falls by the big names! But instead the US took a consistent but weaker team that didn't medal and now we'll never know :(
