love how everyone talks as if the American women didn't do anything before Mary lou/84...had we not boycotted- I think we would have medalled on a few event- Rhonda Schwant was a contender on vault, Fredericks and McNamara on bars and Johnson on floor...I think Marylou/etc would have medalled in 84 with the Russians there- just not the golds- Mostapanova and Yurchenko would have battled out the AA/etc.....

@isa1285 I think Shaposh's fall was due to her anger from the score on bars

First woman to perform a full-in.

When Nelli is performing in the beam and the comentator is quiet i can hear another comentator.
Shame they didn't show Shaposh's fall from grace, from the beam.

up until recently, many elite gymnasts were abused by their loser coaches who wanted to be the next bela karolyi.

YEAH WHAT A SHAME

damn your right! it says that she was verbally and emotionally abused...thats not right

Look up Kathy Johnson in Wikipedia. She was abused by her coach and now works with a group to assure that athletes have human rights, esp. for children used as athletes. I think she even testified before Congress. Will have to reread.
was that a half in half out that mukhina did?
