    I have heard that she was pretty upset over effectively destroying her chances of winning a personal gold in the all-around, but I hope she has come to understand one thing: winning a gold medal takes talent and determination, but what she did takes character. What she did will be remembered a hundred times longer than some personal achievement. She is loved by everyone who was watching that day 25 years ago.

      im sure shes happy with the career ruining injury she received over the potential to be one of the most decorated gymnasts ever. She was pressured into throwing a whole successful career away for 1 medal that she likely already won from the first round. Sad people keep justifying abuse and sacrifice just because they've watched too many movies.

During the interview on Jay Leno she actually said she was glad her trainer insisted she stay for the honoring of her team, before retiring to the hospital for her injury 🤕 treatment... I wonder 🤔 what Kerri has stated about her coach's pushing her into that performance after the first injury??? after all these years?

    What she did is worth more than even sweeping gold in all events and the all-around in the individuals. No one is going to remember who won gold that Olympics years from now. But people fondly remember her clutch performance. Being an Olympian in any sport takes hard work, dedication, determination… What Kerri did takes heart. And that’s in short supply even with Olympians. She may not have won individual medals, but her legacy will live on far longer than most of those who did.

    Anyone who watches the clip after the fact cannot experience what exactly it was like to watch it live because when it happened NO ONE knew she was going to hurt her ankle and EVERYONE thought USAs chances at a gold were lost to the Russians.
    She was our last hope and the last gymnast and she fell and hurt herself on her first vault. We all thought it was over. And we all WAITED while she was looked over by the doctors and they were saying she would not be able to do another vault.
    Then as the last seconds of time she had between vaults drew near, Bella took her over to the mat where she stood up and hobbled over to the starting spot, ready to go again. We couldnt believe she was going to try agsin.
    Then silence and anticipation as she took off AT FULL SPEED on her injured ankle sprinting toward the vault, when she sprang off of the trampoline off of the vault and high into the air, spinning around perfectly and coming down HARD only to STICK the landing on ONE LEG as her thigh shuddered when she struggled to stand fully upright ON ONE LEG!
    And she did it, and she held her arms high and the crowd ERUPTED in the loudest cheers as she turned on one leg to hold her arms high for the judges and then collapsed on the ground.
    Watching it then as it happened it was THE GREATEST FEAT AT THE GREATEST AND MOST IMPORTANT MOMENT which gave USA the WIN!
    The most impressive moment in sports ive ever seen launching her into her place as the MOST INCREDIBLE ATHLETE ever to compete in sports.
    Im a grown man and it brought me to tears.
    Nothing like it before or since.

    I have tried and can not put into words what watching this girl do that last vault felt like for me, a girl who loved gymnastics. What posters were on my walls as a preteen? No boys, just gymnasts. Shannon Miller was the one for me. But seeing this girl push through extraordinary pain, I can't come up with any other words that respect and integrity. Such immense heart this young woman showed.
    On a separate note, the Karolyi's, the husband and wife team that coached many of the "Magnificent 7" were later recognized to be extremely hard, to the point of blatant abuse, on their gymnasts. So when she recalled being told by Bela Karolyi that the president was on the phone and that she was intimidated/scared of him, it hits different knowing how he worked those girls, teenage girls, to working more hours than you can believe, through pain, tears and in Keri's situation, through broken effing bones.
    Happy they won the gold, happy to see the Magnificent 7 win the first gold in women's gymnastics.

    Wow! She's so beautiful, and what a CLASS act! And that voice!! She has the heart of a champion. I had a severe ankle sprain/torn ligaments last year, and heard that "pop" sound. I am still astonished that she was able to do what she did after that, with the second vault. It brings tears to me eyes every time I watch it, because I know some of what she was dealing with and pushing through, and it's almost impossible, and also because I'm just so inspired by and proud of her. This is truly one of the very, very, gutsiest performances I've ever seen or known of. In fact, since yesterday, I've been thinking of what would be the most inspiring and moving sports performances ever, and although there are others, the two that keep coming up and are solidly at the top of my list by themselves are this, Kerri's second vault in '96, and the "Bobby Murcer game" in 1979, after Thurmon Munson, the Yankees' team captain, was killed in a plane crash during the season. (I encourage you to watch the video of that; it should still be here on YT and it's less than 15 minutes long, I believe). Kerri is a true inspiration! God bless her! I know it was a true team effort, but wow, talk about your all-time gut-checks; she literally carried the team on her back at that moment, on one good leg. I feel like writing more, but I realize that words just aren't going to be enough. Just wow! I'm 50 years of age, and this is easily in my top list of all-time greatest sports moments. Thank you, Kerri!!! Peace and love. ((()))

      Hi, Rose! We never know what someone is really going through. Sometimes, what we know or is reported is not necessarily false, but not the whole story. I can only speculate, but it must be something deep, because these ladies work most of their lives to prepare for these moments, and Simone has already shown that she can do it. I know Simone represented the USA spectacularly in 2016 and in the past, and she's a star (multiple gold medals). She has what it takes. And she was there cheering on her teammates during this Olympics. Peace and love, David :)

      She wasn't abused. They were old school trainers who pushed the no name American team into Olympic greats. People also don't understand the social impact defeating the Russians had for that team. It was a time the soviet union just fell & there was still that America vs the Soviets mentality. It was like winning a mini-war. I dont agree with Bela's supposed "encouragement" of eating little food but the other stuff they did, they tried to make their training environment intense so that when big meets happened it was like any other day. Bela once said there's many great gymnasts you never heard of because when it came to competition they just couldn't handle the crowds & pressure.

    What many people don’t realize is that even if she hadn’t landed that vault, team USA would have won regardless. Instead of winning by about 0.820, the margin would have been about 0.31.

      They wouldn’t have won. her landing that vault made the stadium explode which messed up the Russians big time. Had she fallen the Russians probably would’ve got a lot better scores and the US would’ve came in silver.

    • @TimCarter
      @TimCarter 3 года назад

      I remember they had nearly an insurmountable lead with the two girls still to vault, and the announcers saying that they only needed one fairly decent vault, out of their 4 tries, to win. They were not able to rely on the Russians making mistakes in their event.

      @@haoleboysurfec2730 actually it was all but a sure thing. The last 2 Russian gymnasts needed to score 9.9 on floor and that was not going to happen. The Olympic champion that year did not score a 9.9. Strut made it official but even at the moment if they had a bit more time to loo at the scores they would have seen that it was all but wrapped up. Nice try though

    I’ve done that before, my ankles aren’t the same years after. It sounds like stepping on snow, then you can’t feel it, numb other than hot and cold feelings, it swells, you can’t move it, you’ve torn your ligaments, that’s what’s so odd about this, the human body has functions, she defied that. Shouldn’t have been possible to do what she did. At all. I can’t imagine it and I’ve torn ligaments a few times and was a gymnast myself for years, I just don’t understand it. Mind over matter I guess. I’m British and one thing I love about the US is they are like us British, they win or die. Bravery doesn’t come into it, you have no choice. You were born a winner. You don’t bleed red, you bleed the colour of your ancestors, the colour of the flag, you bleed gold if you have to.
