[Planetimage2]

@Planetimage2 no

[happyjellyfish]

Who is that at 2:27? I remember watching her in the early 2000s but I can't recall her name.

[MunchTheSilivasFan]

@happyjellyfish Bai Chunyue of China

Was the last one Lyssenko? Whoever it was, she's lucky she didn't get seriously injured. And the worst ever, which I've never seen on tape, Julissa Gomez. Based on what I heard, she did a . . . is it a Yurchenko, where you go on your hands first then twist . . . and her foot missed the springboard and she went head-first right into the horse. I can't picture anything worse than that.

The last one is Lilia Podkopayeva in the 1993 world EF

Good montage. The music makes it hurt less!!! LOL

[yngtxtopbear]

I know! was so scary! Lilia was either ON on her vaults or way off!

You ever see the vaults she did in Atlanta in the team events? I thought she blew out both of her knees! It was horrible!

[supermec131]

0:32, she managed softening her blunder in an amazing fashion!

[BigJack101]

Herietta Onodi 0:01, Oksana Chustovitina 1:49, Svetlana Khorkina 0:43, Lilia Podkopayeva 3:15 & whoever 1:55, 2:54, 0:22 and 0:59 are, look by far the most painful falls. Of all of the falls, Lilia's probably wins in this montage. :(

[BigJack101]

Most of the falls happened in Sydney with the vault height problem they had! But Kim's at the 92 EF 2:03, Dominique Dawes at the 93 0:15 and 1:29 94 Worlds and Shannon's 99 Olympic Trials Vault 2:15 made me the most sad!

[ladodgerschick]

:30 like a boss!

[tumblefan101]

who was at 3:05

[moncsa80]

@moncsa80 sh*t... I meant: Did NOT want to be mean... and too many...

and if you found more mistakes I apologise --- had a very long day at work :(

[moncsa80]

@moncsa80: I watched it again so lets refrase it: some of them... which is still to many :( I did want to be mean, it is just I've seen so many gifted gymnasts whose carrier ended to soon because of a simple fall turned out to be nasty one...

[moncsa80]

It is really sad to see these falls however makes me angry as well the way most of them trying to save themselves from falling backward by putting their hand behind them to stop the movement. As far as I remember when I started gymnastic, at 4 yo the first thing was that our coach taught us how to fall in a way to prevent injury - like NEVER put your straight arms behind you but try to roll on your back. I know it comes from instict but still dangerous and it leads to serious elbow injuries.
