i dont understand how they ever managed to make their hands on the little vault. when i was 5, i did a front handspring vault and accidentally dived over

First of all, it's Bela, he's a guy. Bella is a girl's name. Second, it was her freaking choice to do the difficult vault. It's the one she had been training. She hadn't been training any other vault as much as the 1.5.

@gymnasticsgirl827 Its when she lands one of her ankles kind of rolls. If you watch carefully you can see it.

@commenttosay Dominique had enough attention Kerri deserved the glory. wanna come over and listen to Vikki Carr records and call boys?

I never saw the sprain either. I don't know how she felt of course, but NBC loves to dramatize those injuries about gymnastics! I wish it wasn't so, so more parents would involve their kids in the sport.

My alternate ending would be to see Dominique Moceanu stick both of her vaults and put the gold in the bag. I will always be sad that did not happen for her.

Bela should have coached Dominique and Kerry not to open up early, as a stick wasn't necessary and he let them both make that mistake.

I dont c where she sprains her ankle, she looks fine while vaulting

One thing I never understood...Chow and Miller both did easier vaults first. Kerri had an easier vault she could do in her sleep why didn't they have her do that one first? I can tell you why because she was Bella's gymnast.
