I don't think she was underrated in the gymnastics world, but I think the media focused less on her because she was a solid gymnast, but not the youngest or the most decorated or the other things that make good fluff pieces. She was captain of this team. I don't think she was underrated by coaches or other athletes, just the media. Jaycie Phelps, too.

I've always loved her : )

best routine of her career

@Ineedthat06 not bad should have been at least a 9.75

This was so much better than Gina Gogean's bronze medal routine from EFs!

I got to meet her when i was 10, i was a gymnast, her uncle came to my house and brought me a signed pic of her....i felt like the luckiest little girl in the world!!

@metsdudenj I agree, Jaycie made balance checks everywhere.. so Jaycie was overscored and Amanda was underscored. Amanda should have got no lower, yet nor higher than a 9.8
