She is probably one of the big reasons why soooo many little girls wanted to become a gymnast after the 1996 Olympics. She's a legend in the sport and her grace, humility, artistry, determination, among other things are some of the reasons why people love her!!

They could have also used her leadership and competition focus. People usually forget that during compulsories, the Mag 7 almost fell apart. Bars was so-so, and beam was nearly a disaster. Kerri Strug was unusually shaky. Amanda Borden and Dominique Dawes had noticeable troubles. Jaycee Phelps fell. Shannon Miller was up next and showed what steely nerves looks like. Close to perfection. It seemed like the entire team let out the breath they’d been holding, and Moceanu was solid anchoring beam. They did well through the rest of compulsories. And then they Lit. It. Up. in team finals. ❤️

She is a serious contender for an individual medal in the Olympics and she's showing difficulty she didn't have in her peak. If you count success by medals then yes, I have to agree, most gymnast are not as succesful at their 25 as they were when they were 17 (exept Chusovitina and Tweddle). But helping your team is a success as well. And after all is not only about the medals, the love for the sport and competitions is enough to keep someone competing

​@@2010hotmale2010Apparently Beam's start value was due to some composition issues she was not aware of. She probably had skills in her repertoire to fix that with proper consultation, and the full-in dismount would have helped in that respect. However, because she started the comeback somewhat late, the leg events fell behind a little too much (contributing to that vault injury). Would have made a nice pair with Atler, who could still do well on the leg events but had issues on Bars and Beam.

dominique moceanu N SHANNON MILLER R MY FAV.

under that COP is a flip flop/layout/layout worth .1 or .2 in bonus?

Maravilhosa 👏👏👏👏👏

Wow when was the last time a gymnast performed a Valdez on beam after 1996?

@jamesbug2002 she is a vault specialist. Vault is the easiest event since you only have to do one maneuver.

Why didn't I see this before? I mean, Alicia does a front pike mount and does another front pike later on...but thanks for clearing that up!

I think Boguinskaya also made a comeback as well. She was absent for a couple years and returned back into top form by 96 making a splash at Europeans, qualifying for the 96 Olympics where she made the all around and vault finals. Had she stuck her second vault she would have medaled

I agree with everything you said

@mikeg8375

Жыл бұрын

Basically there were huge problems with the routine construction... Even if they had received the credit they were looking for, From what I can tell, this still would have only had a start value of 9.9... Then when you factor the judges didnt credit "The Miller" move with what they were expecting, and throw in the huge balance check after the layout, 9.287 is a fair score. Basically Nunno was not good at understanding the Code of points. If he did his research, he would have found that shannon needed an additional D skill that doesn't count for bonus under this code... And there were Many other potential combinations She could have attempted to start from 10... I love Shannon And I know she is loyal to Nunno, But at this point in her career she needed different things out of a couch. She needed somebody to help strategize and work the code to build smarter routines...and she needed smarter training to avoid injuries... she waited too long to comeback. It was too late in the game at this competition to do any of these things.

It’s very challenging for female gymnasts to adapt their routines to their physical changes and to remain competitive. Shannon has a very different body here than she did in Atlanta, which was different from her childlike body in Barcelona.

Why didn’t Shannon make the team for Bars and Beam? It seems like both of her sets were great

Agreed!!

Awesome!

@Titannu Like I already said Chusovitina is not an all around gymast like Miller. She is only a vault specialist which is totally different. Actually in her prime she used to be a floor specialist too and a decent all arounder but she is not even close to either of those things anymore and hasnt for many years which only proves my point. Hatch the other oldie who made a successful comeback (for her) was also a vault specialist.

Fantástico!

The punch front mount is a C, right? and a regular front tuck on beam is a D.

That's true, Khorkina is the only all around medalist over 20 I can remember. There were others too, like Tourischeva but that was when gymnastics was a totally different sport. Hatch and Bhardwaj (one of my all time fav american gymnasts) are indeed rare examples, same goes to Tweddle but there are other cases as well. Zamolodchikova for example definately reached her peak at Sydney and she never had the 2000 success but she was a rock for the russian team when they didn't have lots of depth.

I love the way coach nuno supports her.

I miss these kinds of beam entrances.

True. I got the impression with Miller she was dreaming of 1992-1996 level glory again and it was never going to happen. Then again I could be wrong and she was just hoping to help a weak U.S team. I forgot Beth Tweddle but she always kept competing so wasnt making a "comeback" at an older age per say. Khorkina did win AA silver in Athens but was a shadow of her old self, was lucky the field was super weak was probably overmarked due to name and robbed a more deserving gymnast.

Umm, what she means is that Galiyeva's family was one of those relocated from Russia to Uzbekistan during the Stalin era to maintain Russian cultural dominance throughout the Soviet Union. That's what she means by saying that she was born is Uzbekistan but was ethnically Russian.

I totally agree with a lot of the other comments. Talk about being shaken up before competiting! ...that would unnerve any performance. I wanted Shannon at the olympics more than anything.

Why she did not make the team?

What was her score? Did I see a 9.27? Something!?

@gymnfanus19972000 actually true that is a good point. I guess she and Hatch are the only two gymnasts (atleast that I know of unless there are more) that returned after long retirements to do better than ever. Thanks for pointing that out. Still I think it would be almost impossible for an AA superstar to do so.

So...did she make the team?

I wonder if Shannon considered going to another coach when making this comeback. Just because its pretty remarkable how long she was with Nunno. Many gymnasts switch at some point

@lvega5606

In her new autobiography, which im reading now, she says that she was only going to make a comeback if Steve Nunno would coach her. In fact, her husband at that time had to move to Houston for his med school residency, so it would have been easier on her marriage to train with a club in Houston.

+kras118 As smart she is/was, Miller had horrible judgment in sticking with Nunno. She won medals in spite of him, not because of him. His routine construction cost her even more success in 1995, 1996, and 2000. She should have never been struggling to find a consistent 10.0 SV on FX in the 96-00 COP even with injury limiting her available skills to choose from. The front double full in 1995 and double layout in 1996 were clearly never going to be consistent elements and were not worth the risk. And, the order of passes and several of the combinations he chose throughout that quad were asinine. Whip + BHS + Tuck Full-In; Rudi + BHS + LSO; Tuck Full-In; Whip 1/2 + Front Full + Front Tuck with D level dance elements (Cat Leap Double, Popa) would have been a safe, consistent routine using skills and combinations she had done, and done well. Meanwhile, she should have perfected one of the Phelps, 1.5TY, or DTY by Atlanta since she had been training them for 3+ years, and her UB routine should have never relied on a double layout for a 10 SV. In 2000, he failed her on VT and BB. It was evident from fall 1999 - Sydney team finals that these were the two weaknesses of team USA. A 1.5TY + Phelps would have been a great addition to the lineup, and while I realize her injury prevented her from training this event, it was clear she was maxing out at Hristakieva + FTY. I can only assume he was also under the false impression that her 2nd back dive 1/4 on beam was considered a back dive 1/4 + hop 1/1 pirouette to handstand, and in the COP as an E level skill, costing her .20 in SV on that event.

She missed the front tuck mount + wolf jump combination (slight hesitation). Because of that the initial wolf jump counted as part of the "interior" of the routine rather than part of the mount. When she performed her front tuck + wolf jump combo later, she also missed that connection (again, slight hesitation... the judges were being brutal). It wouldn't have counted even if she made it: they wouldn't have factored in the second wolf jump. So that's already 4 tenths in connection bonus she missed. Plus the minor errors with the rest of the routine... Yeah... It was a fair score.

I hate that beam it's like, hollow or something

except for Svetlana Khorkina. she was in 3 olympic games all of which she received a medal. 2000 was the rough olympics due to the vault controversy but she came back for her third in 2004 and ended up taking the silver in the all around.
