That first vault was one of the most perfect yurchenko fulls I've ever seen. Whatever anyone says about the scoring on the other events, on the vault Shannon should have received a 10 and won this competition.
DarlingNikki2 Gutsu shouldn't have been in the all-around finals. She finished 4th in the team finals. She replaced Roza Galieva because Roza had an "injury", which was not true. The team officials claimed she had the injury, which she didn't.
Totally agree! Gutsu was WAY over scored. Her performances weren’t that good this day. Shannon’s performances were far more superior and executed way better
@@tlw1269 Right? To this day, I don't understand why that Gold medal wasn't revoked, the day Galieva admitted that they forced her to take a dive, in favor of Gutsu!
I'll always think that if Shannon had gone last in this rotation she would've gotten that perfect 10. The judges were definitely "leaving room" for Gutsu, even if it was just subconsciously.
+Hannah Aldrich I agree. Because Miller's vaults were better. Gutsu stuck her second landing, but her feet were slightly apart. Miller's were together.
This is what I hate about the scoring system- ideally, if it's a 10 performance, the athlete deserves that score. It shouldn't matter what place they hold in the line-up.
She was robbed of 4th place AA which is what she would have gotten with fair judging. Boginskaya, Milo, and Bontas were all robbed by the overscoring Miller got on beam and floor where she had mistakes the judges entirely ignored as if they didnt exist.
Man I remember watching this and not believing that she didn't get a 10. So perfect. She was always so poised and disciplined and that big smile she allowed herself before her second vault was beautiful. I remember being so heartbroken that she got 2nd after this.
Shannon you absolutely nailed those two vaults. Steve your coach is so proud of you. Bless your heart, you come across as being such a humble person. Much respect from 🏴
That first vault should've been a ten, and Shannon should've won the AA Gold. Tatiana was way overscored on floor, she made an enormous bounce on her first pass. 9.925??? seriously? Insane scoring.
This first vault was the most beautiful piece of gymnastics ever done in an Olympics. And Nuno definitely added to the moment! Maroney had an amazing vault in the team final this past Olympics, but this vault with the single twist really allows you to see how unbelievably beautiful her form was. On vault 2, it is just another example at how AMAZING Shannon was at covering things up. That foot slide was microscopic.
I can't understand why Shannon didn't win also. I looked at all of Shannon's and Tatiana's routines and it looked like Shannon did better than Tatiana.
All of you guys know that the revenge came in 2012 too. Gutsu should have only gotten a 9.85 on the first vault! If she had that much of a difference on her second vault without the hop then. Forget it. First vault should've been 9.887 at most.
This was the Olympics I ever watched and this is my most powerful memory. The endless amount of time Shannon had to wait, all the instructions Nunno kept giving her, the nodding :-), the Romanians standing at the end of the runway watching, and then that vault. Unbelievable. I will always remember this. The only thing missing from this moment was a 10, which she completely deserved. I also thought her bars score should have been higher. But what a moment. That's what the Olympics are about.
Everyone focuses on the landing of the first vault, which was outstanding. But the real beauty of this vault was the preflight. Most gymnastics have leg separation in the preflight. Shannon’s legs were together from the board to mat.
Yeah, I have to agree Selecious - Miller's position was perfect at every point in the vault. I remember seeing it and thinking that at the time....Replaying it here only confirms that.
agreed on the height and distance, however weak ? her beam dismount completely disqualifies this statement. If she was weak, Komova was weak. Neither were.
211jump actually you don't really need to have amazing height on a vault to be able to stick it. As long as you have enough rotation you can probably squeeze it around, like Shannon did here, though in my opinion, while she wasn't a very powerful gymnast, she got a pretty good block off the vault here.
kamila Ford the entire crowd knew she was robbed. Why the FUCK didn't Steve Nuno appeal her scores. I would've turned all kinds of Bela Karolyi on their asses.
kamila Ford There are none. She was robbed. Was it the most powerful yurchenko full out there? No. But there’s nothing technically deficient about this vault. She had super height and distance, unlike Gustu, whose vault went more straight up and down. And she had better form than any of her competitors outside of Bogi. Perfect form. None of the Romanians and most of the Soviets could match that. And the landing. Total control. If that’s not a 10, what would be?
yes this was a robbery. remember what led up to this. Tatiana Gutsu the eventual AA 92 Olympic champion, should not have even been in the AA. She fell off beam during the team comp, that qualified the gymnasts for the AA. Rosa Gallieva (sp) was supposed to be in the AA. The Unified team knew their best chance for Gold was Tatiana. Rosa (mysteriously) got sick and was replaced by Tatiana. (It was later revealed Rosa wasn't sick at all) Even with the switchero, Shannon should have taken the 92 AA Olympic gold. It reminds IMHO one of the biggest robberies ever in gymnastics!
Cosign everything you said! My daughter was getting annoyed at my screaming and intensity the last two Olympicss where the US team came into their own. I told her that you have no idea about the shenanigans we had to deal with "back in the day" to see us finally dominate is a dream come true!
@@BoraViolin Too bad nobody watches gymnastics now, not even Americans. When Biles retire there really will be nobody watching it, especialy in the U.S, regardless if the Americans stay on top in a now empty desultory field or not.
If there is proof that they lied, and did not follow the rules, why was the result never challenged? All other Olympic teams have to follow rules. When it was discovered that China cheated re: the gymnasts' ages, their results were invalidated. Just sayin'!!!
I know, right? Part of the reason this moment is so memorable is because Steve Nunno's was so excited to see his athlete succeed and he freaking lost his mind on the sidelines. I loved it!
It's interesting- when you watch Tatiana's vault, the crowd only gives a smattering of obligatory applause when she got her winning score, while Shanon brings the crowd to its feet. The Barcelona crowd is obviously intelligent in gymnastics.
After the rash of faux 10's at the 1988 games, the judges didn't give 10's on first vaults very often. Had she repeated the vault exactly the same on the 2nd try, she would have gotten it.
I know, this still makes me cry. Both because it was amazing and this is when I remember becoming such a big fan of hers, and also because I was so disappointed the judges didn't give her the 10 she so obviously deserved. Wonderful. I loved how the Romanians were standing at the end of the runway, I presume to intimidate. Take that!
I remember this moment... so thrilling to see her stick 2 when everything was on the line. Even though she took silver, she did absolutely everything she could and left nothing on the table so that's a feat in itself.
Seriously I think the Olympic People who are in Charge of this Sport Shannon Miller Deserves the Gold they Should give it to her at the 2016 Olympics Seriously...
Its one of the moments you always want to watch again and wonder, "Why?" That vault was perfect and they awarded the Russian with form breaks the gold medal. Shannon will always remain golden in my heart! She was cheated the All-Around Gold in this moment.
I remember watching this and waiting FOREVER for her to vault......she stood there for like a minute and half, but it felt like a half hour. Absolutely beautiful piece of gymnastics.
@ccaruso81: The didn't need to leave room for Gutsu; if Gutsu did a perfect vault she also could have gotten a 10. I have to say that when this did not get a 10, I seriously questioned the credibility of gymnastics's judging, and the concern has yet to fade. They should have asked the judges, individually, "What exactly did you deduct for?" That first vault was not only flawless, it had incredible amplitude and style. Might be the best vault I've ever seen, in terms of execution. Amazing.
I'll never get over this I remember watching this with my friends after summer camp and seeing Shannon not get a 10 an only a 99.75 that was just wrong the Olympic committee should Appel on this I don't care if it was so long ago Gutsu didn't deserve gold. I cried during the medal presentation because it was so wrong that Shannon was given silver and not gold.
Me and the rest of the queens were at a bar totally toasted on olympic sized martinis watching this. Even loaded to the tits on vodka I saw this was twisted. Completely screwed up. Poopshoos vault wasn't anywhere close to perfection as this one. Lower chest on landing and her feet weren't closed like Shannon's. Just wrong on so many levels.ive watched this so many times and just cannot see how Shannon didn't win. Screw the scores in speaking on performances.
@@LETMEINGUYS Shannon did score higher on vault. There are more events than vault in the All Around idiot. You Shannon fanboys are bigger losers than Seles fanboys, LOL!
Remember this like it was yesterday! Shannon was at her absolute peak here (in my opinion) and she definitely got robbed! She couldn't have stuck those landings more than if she had Super Glue on her feet, LOL! She was amazing in 1996, too, but for me this is when she was at the apex of what it means to be a gymnast...
In my opinion, Shannon Miller was the GREATEST Olympic gymnast of all time. Simone Biles may have some powerful tumbling skills, but she lacks the beauty, the precision, the exquisite grace and elegance, and the cleanness of Shannon Miller. After all, isn't this sport called ARTISTIC Gymnastics?!!
Watching this during the 1992 Olympics was the best "finale" ever! I definitely think the first vault should have been a 10 and she should have won the AA- because I love my country and it would have been great to see! But I think the silver definitely gave her drive to continue to be an amazing gymnast for 1996. She was so special in 1992 because she was so understated. My whole family was cheering with Steve Nuno! It was great that he was in another country cheering like that! Love it!
Shannon Miller should have had a 10 on the first vault a 99.75 come on seriously she was robbed that year I wish the Olympics could Appel on this because gutsu shouldn't haven't gotten gold I'm sorry just wrong.
Shannon also did not deserve her 9.925 on beam and 9.9 on floor, both which should have been a 9.85 at best. She had 2 balance breaks on beam the judges ignored and deducted nothing for and a big step on floor which again they ignored and deducted nothing for.
@@simonsenecal6560 She did have a couple of visible errors in her vault, as I saw nothing wrong with Shannon's. Her legs weren't crossed during twist elements, no leg separation, and Maroney did have her toes crossed and the leg separation error after the roundoff. I think Maroney deserved a 9.985 and Shannon a perfect 10.
the landing (as shannon did so often) is the best landing I HAVE EVER seen! if she had landed her floor routine i had been as flawless as this... then she was have beat gustu!
Remember watching this with my mom and after the marks came up she was like, 'Those ****** judges are so full of ******!, LOL! Yeah, Shannon really was robbed here, but so glad there was some justice in '96... Great memories!
It's amazing how its been 20 years, and we still talk about this! But Shannon was World AA Champ in '93 and '94- Kim Zmeskal was the reigning WC at these Games. And the Unified Team was more "former Soviet Union" than "Russian"- the 3 AAers were from Ukraine [Gutsu, Lysenko] and Belarus [Bogi]. Galieva, who qualified ahead of Gutsu, was from Uzbekistan.
I totally agree with you! Shannon and Gutsu were scored fairly on uneven bars, both were a little overscored on beam, but Gutsu was terribly overscored on floor with her botched first tumbling pass (she scored a 9.925 when she had at least 2 tenths in deductions) and on vault Shannon nailed it completely while Gutsu landed still piked and had a shuffle of her foot on the landing as well.
The commentators sometimes complain about video review and how long it takes, but it's events such as the Barcelona AA that make me love video review. HOW did Gutsu get a higher score?
Shannon Miller's vaults should've been a perfect 10.
No!!! 9.975 is so overscored!
+Ah Nemone You must be out of your mind. There was nothing wrong with Shannon's vaults. She had perfect form, no steps on her landings, etc.
They were running low on 10s after the Romanians and unified team performed
@@kkuldanji6378 point out the deductions

The coach was givin me life too lol. Shannon killed this..TWICE.
Shannon in my heart will always be the winner of the all around title 1992. Even If she was given the silver
Yes I feel the same way. Shannon was robbed this whole competition
She was so robbed of gold

The speed that her feet hit the ground is insane. She whips it around so hard.
I'm sorry judges but that was a 10 not 9.975
Agreed!
Maybe a few of the judges decided to compensate just a bit of the ridiculous overscoring she got on both beam and floor.
Especially on slow motion

She wasn't good enough

I’m watching this in 2024 and I still can’t believe how Shannon was robbed at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona!
Talk about nailing the shit out of it!!!!!
Brilliant! Those should've been 10s!
Mari oameni ,mari sportivi
I’m sorry Shannon Miller was robbed the Olympic committee needs to see that video
@jojo1802 i am agree this first vault is really perfect !!! she deserved to win
Shannon Miller 92, Michelle Kwan 98, Kim Yu Na 2012. I really think those three ladies were robbed of gold
The commentators sometimes complain about video review and how long it takes, but it's events such as the Barcelona AA that make me love video review. HOW did Gutsu get a higher score?
That first vault was a 10 she should’ve won
