@TwisterFlipp95 I read that it was a malignant tumor that was removed and she had 9 weeks of chemo, thank goodness they were able to get all of it, could have been much worse for sure.
-
Yeah, me too :( It's not really ovarian cancer; it's a tumor that causes it. She had to go through chemo though.
-
@TwisterFlipp95 really? I didn't know that, hopefully she beats it :(
-
It's so weird looking at her back then compared to now, struggling with ovarian cancer and all.
-
@bbhouk1 lol but she was doing the skill right(;
-
that was 3 months ago, I was pretty stupid then....sounds dumb but it's true, I'm more of an expert on 50's through 70's gymnastics, after that I can't recommend my knowledge
:D
-
@bbhouk1 no its a different skill down to the low bar she wasn't supposed to land in handstand.. Its called a full turn down to the low bar into a kip, it was very popular back then and almost every gymnast did it, and none of them landed in handstand... So did you just think every gymnast was preforming the skill wrong? aha

shannon miller was so focused and form perfect back then, that i believe had she been given the routines that nastia and he kexin did in the 08 games that she would had given them a run for their money if not simply kicking their asses.
-
it's still done, but nowadays they HAVE to land in a handstand on the low bar (which is what she was she was supposed to do here, but it wasn't a deduction under this code of points) so it looks different.
shawn johnson performed it

Compared to today's routines, this looks sort of easy... but she still did an amazing job -- maybe she's the reason it looks easy. I still sure as hell can't do any of it!
Shannon Miller absolutely deserved that AA Gold Medal. She did.

they used to work the bars so cleanly back then!!!! now it's all labored and at least 40 giants with 100 pirouettes on top of the bar!!! too much!!!
