  • @russianskatingfan oh give me a break, please take a look at the so called perfect 10 Retton was rewarded at the AA FX with a low landing at her third pass, what are you talking about

  • Whether or not you believe she should've won the AA gold, she DIDN'T deserve to win vault gold. Retton was a deserving ten hands down. The judges just felt sorry for her because she was 'supposed' to win the AA.

  • @ispaht If they were Natalia Yurchenko would have won this title hands down.

  • that vault was NOT a ten! maybe I'm crazy, but I'm pretty sure she had horrible form(her legs were about a foot apart!) and it was a bit sloppy except for the landing

  • @briaberger It was a very hard vault, in 1992 Onodi won gold with that vault without a full twist in it. Not to mention the judges are viewing it from the side so as you can see from the side view of the first vault you can not see the leg separation.

  • most of her vaults were horrible. How come she was able to win the gold medal over Retton??

  • runs like a fuckin LOON lol

  • I totally agree. I thought the only gold Szabo might have deserved in LA was the team gold obviously and floor gold. In no way do I feel she was robbed of the AA gold like some. She had a fall on a bar routine, another big error on the same bar routine , and a big error on her compulsory beam. Plus she stuck almost no landings in the AA. However her vault gold was a farce. On beam Pauca was robbed of the gold on her own, no way Szabo should have come back to tie after her compulsory set.

  • Mary Lou can take consolation in at least one way here. Szabo scored 9.90 and 9.95 on her vaults. Mary Lou is the ONLY female gymnast to ever score a 10 on the vault in the Olympic event final!

  • Yeah her arms don't stay bend when she pumps them backwards. It almost looks like she's churning butter.
