She was still recovering from her injury here. She shouldn't have gone, I'm sure she was pressured into it because it was the first time she was age eligible.
-
@LMA629 she scored 8.025
-
what was her score for this?
-
@trashywilma She can't hear NBC only the view can..NBC had nothing to do with this...Vanessa was a head case and she even said that in the TV series "Starting Over" She really didn't want to participate in gymnastics after 1998..it wasn't fun for her anymore..her head was not in the game.
-
seriously? the girl won several medals in the American Cup, Goodwill Games, and US National championships. I'd hardly call that "one of the biggest disappointments" from USA gymnastics...
-
I think that's an unfair assessment. If she were competing in today's format where people can be specialists, she would have been fine. She would never have had to attempt bars. She would just compete on the other 3 appratuses like Alicia Sacromone

@nsyncchick8877 turns out that before France she left her coaches, so she was really in limbo at this meet. Cannot have helped her nerves here.
-
This was the biggest red flag of them all that she couldn't handle the pressure. And to defend the media here, @trashywilma, yes they are just kids but the media puts the spotlight on someone all the time and it doesn't matter the sport. Moceanu, Zmeskal, Phillips, and more recently, Carly, Shawn, and Nastia. Vanessa couldn't handle the pressure, simple as that. Vanessa was an amazing gymnast but when the team needed her the most, she didn't deliver.
-
she is one of the biggest disappointments ever to come out of USA gymnastics.

i think nbc's intense pressure did vanessa atler in. i think people forget these gymnasts are just kids.

Some of the most promising gymnasts are those who do not have the most important quality - mental toughness.
Vanessa Atler and Hollie Dykes were two such gymnasts.
