Shannon Miller: three whipbacks - 1993 Hilton Challenge

Shannon Miller performs three consecutive whipbacks in her winning floor exercise routine in the 1993 Hilton Challenge.

Kim Zmeskal had recently retired, which saw Shannon adopt that gymnast's world-famous trademark pass. This event also marked the first time in history that a USA women's gymnastics team bested all possible contenders from the (former) Soviet Union.

Sent you a private message, respond there. :)

@ImmortalSynn Ok, great....just tell me the address of where to send the money order and also the cost.....I would like a VHS tape and don't worry about the men's portion because I an not really a fan of men's gymnastics. thanks

@37tonya

Sure, schedule is a lot more open, so I can do it. I have the full women's meet, and a good bit of the men's, but not all of it. A bit of static, but still very clear for being a 19yr old tape. :)

[37tonya]

@37tonya Are you still willing to tape these meets for me? Let me know OK.

@Rxrefill08

[Rxrefill08]

@01aabads exactly the commentator even said this is a new pass for here she got the 3 whip backs from dominique not that dominique owns the moves, but she didnt start doing it until she saw the response dominique got

@37tonya Also, I do not have the USA vs Romania entire meet, only clips. And even then, they're very low quality.

YouTube has its own private email exchange for all members

Also, do you require a VHS tape? I can send it as an *.mpg (to view on computer) or a DVD much more easily than I can by replicating a VHS.

If you choose digital, give me until this Sunday, allow me to see if I can digitize it in its entirety. If so, we'll figure out a fair offering from there. I don't think $12 ($10 for the tape, $2 to compensate shipping) is unfair, do you? If VHS, it'd be more due to more effort

[37tonya]

@ImmortalSynn I am not sure what you mean by sending you a private message since I am somewhat of a novice with youtube.......if you can send your email address to reneewallace2671@hotmail.com, then I can get your physical address and send you a money order.....how much do you charge for a VHS tape and do you have the

1994 USA vs Romania meet.... I would like that on VHS tape as well and I am willing to pay for both of them.....let me know when you get the chance. thanks, Latonya

"Steal"? Well, Kim was gone by this point, and she didn't return for nearly 4yrs later. So seems it was up for fair grabs to me.

Lavinia Milosovici obviously thought the same thing, as she also performed the same pass, with a front added after the double twist, at this point (and all the way up to the '96 Olympics) as well.
