Her mount is just Incredible.

How often do you see 4 elements in a single tumble series on beam anymore? BHS into 3 layouts! Nowadays you just see a stepout into a layout stepout. This routine was amazing!

Utterly amazing. I think Shannon was robbed back then.. which is sad, considering she came back to compete for the elusive AA gold when things were much harder at 19.

every skill is presented to perfection

O.o
Wow...
-
Shannon was a beast back then
-
is it me or does miller have more difficulty then lysenko? I mean I understand miller had small errors but she had 2 tumbling series, that she stuck. and a more difficult dismount, If anything miller and lysenko should of tied for the gold medal.

Back when there was still artistry to gymnastics, instead of simply jamming as many skills into a routine as possible
-
I think Lysenko deserved gold, but if she had not arched her back on that handstand, I think she would've won gold

I hate to watch beam routines today! They so boring and not graceful.
Love you Shannon! You' re my favorite (only) American gymnast!
The 92 Olympics was the first I ever watched. I thought Miller should have won the AA and beam golds. I thought her bronze on bars and tie for bronze on floor were about right, but in beam and AA I would have given her gold.
However I was very impressed by Miller's sportsmanship. She never once implied she was robbed, never acted bitter or belittled the winners, and was gracious to those who beat her. Khorkina, although a great gymnast, could learn alot from Miller about sportsmanship.

They just don't make beam routines like this anymore. What has happened to gymnastics?
