  • Michelle is my aunt. she has two cute little babies now!!

  • She was definitely one of Bela's favorites because she didn't look like an American gymnast - she had a very European look to her gymnastics.

    Bela really wanted her on the team, but was injured and didn't compete in Barcelona.

  • @fliptopla She was also one of his favorites because her coach was one of Bela's associates

  • @bownlovingfreak I agree. Liked Campi much better than Bruce. I think Campi was on the team, but couldn't compete due to a hip injury. Could be wrong though.

  • I'm happy Wendy Bruce made the 1992 team, but Campi would've been a GREAT addition as well! She would've made our team a lot more legitimate. What a lovely gymnast

  • @FLACSC74 Yes she does!! I saw her today at Ben & Jerry's and I took a picture with her!! :) SHe's great!

  • @adventuregirl76 I agree with your original point but too say that Miller lacked elegance is bizarre. Miller's style was composed of elegance and preciseness and she responded to violin music very well, which was the reason he used it for all of her floor routines. However the composure of her floor routine at these worlds is not the best. I personally feel that Shannon lacked seriously in artistry, was that maybe what you were trying to get at?

  • Michelle Campi's dance and ability to captivate was innate. She had presence and knew how to make the public feel rousing music. She interpreted music. The music wasn't just playing in the background.

    She had some similar qualities to Aurelia Dobre (ironically she had her bouts with devastating injuries as well). However, she never had an opportunity to shine because USA Gymnastics does not know what to do with gymnasts that are not powerful, technical or acrobatic.

  • @shane802 It's not about being a "legend." It's about who was the better dancer...and that was Michelle, hands down.

  • @VictoriaAbrilenAtame I agree!

  • Yes.

  • I strongly disagree.
