Okay…
1- she didn’t “slightly” injure her ankle, she broke it
2- she told her coach she didn’t want to go again but her coach told her she had to
3- the United States didn’t actually need her to go a second time to win
Edit: She didn’t break her ankle but it was still a severe injury
She tore 2 ligaments; a very painful injury.
She didn't break it, she suffered a third degree ankle sprain.
But still, it was wrong
Watch her TV interviews post Olympics. Watch her 20 year anniversary interview. Keri never said she was forced to do the second vault. She said she wanted to do it. She also said they didn't know at the time that they already had the gold. No one watching knew either. As for her ankle it was badly injured. She retired after that Olympics to go to college. She never planned to continue her gymnastics career afterward. You have things all wrong.
I met Kerri and she is one of the nicest people I've ever spoken to. As an athlete myself, seeing her strength and determination is something that I think we all can take something away from. What an amazing moment. I think there's something in my eye!
Ok what is you said is true. Well I’m not really sure is she is nice though because I never met her And when she made the landing with ONE FOOT ONE FOOT! Was honestly really impressive and with a broken ankle it truly was a amazing moment...... BUT YOU MET HER? WHEN WHERE WHAT TIME?
Maybe it's a tear at the thought of her having to retire due to the injury forced on her by the coach who continued with his career.
This is so untrue. She did NOT need to vault for the team to win gold.
Karoly was a monster.
link please
It wasn't guaranteed. We can only say she didn't need to do it after that fact.
I've heard that too. The point is, she was a kid and her health should have been more important to her coach and the country than a gold medal. It wasn't. And I agree, Karoly IS a monster.
You don't know either of them . Your attempt to lower Strug's courageous performance to serve your narrative is repulsive. As others have said, your statement is hindsight.
She actually need to do it to win gold since they had gold but the other team could have gotten it so since she landed it she clinched it for American
The US not needing her to do the second vault to win doesn’t diminish at all what she did. This is the gutsiest performance I’ve ever seen on the Olympic stage. I understand that this became a permanent injury that shortened her career and my heart breaks for her… but such a feat will live on long after she is gone. What a way to go! And what a legacy to leave.
There was no way at the time to know that that vault wasn't needed though. There were still three scores yet to be posted for Russia at that point. There was no way to know what they would score.
If she didn't vault shed get a zero and no medal at all for the team she needed that vault the team needed those points to complete a lifetime goal for all of them and she knew it would hurt no out forced her to be great it's all heart and guts it's hard to do that with 2 legs and everything on the line that's what real champions do they deal with the pain and the possibility of failing and persevere that was heroic quitting on your team isn't you don't forget how to do this just because you fall in practice you are supposed to fall in practice that's how you learn she had won gold and did this her whole life it wasn't mental disability it was heart disability she did her tinman impersonation and nailed it like Kari did this vault
@@shaneburke4863 no it is a 7-6-5 event, 6 up five count, they don't need her score, just take the 5 they already got and that's it
She injures her ankle and manages to vault and win gold and I'm here stubbing my toe and falling on the floor in pain.
Same here 😂
Me too. Ooooooow!
Gymnasts do this sort of thing all the time. Compete with bad injuries
😂😂😂😂
The US was willing to injure a child for a victory. She won the gold but was never able to do gymnastics again because of her injury. She didn't have a choice, she didn’t break her ankle, she ruptured a ligament in her ankle and damaged a tendon in it: even worse than a break. Go watch the new Netflix documentary called "Athlete A" because this moment was mentioned. Truly sad and disgusting how they abused those girls
I remember watching this with my mom.. we went crazy when they announced her score 👏👏👏👏
That injury forced her to retire at 18. She shouldn't have gone again.
Please spare us. Mary Lou Retton retired at the same age. No injuries.
Yeah, but her star will never fade away.
COPE
She literally wanted to
@@rong7676 Exactly. They're just trying to cover for the QUITTER that embarrassed America.
Anyone notice the judges face when Keri strung landed the Second time.? Priceless. Kerri Strung truly just sets the record for pure determination
I just looked for that after your comment...that lady KNEW
knew what @@lesmorrow226
>Comment timestamp ends in "years ago"
Amazing, this is a true Olympic hero!
>Comment timestamp ends in "days ago"
This is abuse, plain and simple. There is nothing to cheer for here, I'm glad Simone Biles is bringing attention to this!
There, summarized every single comment on this video for you.
I was thinking about this comparison people are making. While I understand, in the abstract, the responses that people have and, perhaps, the changed attitudes that we now have, in terms of empowering athletes, this episode [with Strug] seems markedly different in that she was faced with the prospect of one exercise in one event, with seconds of [extremely brutal] pain, prior to hopefully getting some painkillers and treatment. Simone had a whole competition ahead of her; a lot more time to feel and strain under the pressure. Also, I think Simone Biles had a little more time to deliberate.
@@samdevil82 Kerri Strug was still 18 when she did this vault and it was a career-ending injury for her (as far as competing in the olympics goes). Simone is 24
@@kiwisandsprinkles8947 yes I know. But I'm saying in the moment.
Just saw an interview with her as an adult where she says she's very proud of the moment. So...

20 years later and it still gets me teary eyed. An unforgettable Olympic moment. ❤️

Me too. And I'm a dude!
Nicole31 That's a performance that will always be remembered. Not just for how well she did, but the sheer guts and determination to do it.
I still cry watching Keri Strug!! So much passion. Even though she was in pain!!
As a kid warching the 96 olympics, this was the moment I understood what "taking one for the team" meant. THANK YOU!!! WHAT AN INSPIRATION!
And now we know it also ment taking one (or more) for Larry Nassar.
This is not inspirational to put winning over your health
@@bleeka325she’ll go down in history as a legend. You won’t. That’s why it’s inspiring.
@@jasonavery I dont aspire risk my health for the approval of those who could care less. So that ok
@@bleeka325 that’s you. That’s perfectly fine. Some athletes like Kurt Angle wrestle with a broken neck for the gold. Everyone had their own standards for what they are willing to sacrifice to get the gold.
Her and Kurt Angle both won gold on injuries this same year. Was a happy moment for me to see them both win. I cried when I saw this live. Still feel it today 20 years later.
She was the Kurt Angle of gymnastics.
Dang. What a freaking boss. Props to her.
Lol "Slightly"? She broke her ankle, and then vaulted on it again!
It wasn't broken. It was a bad sprain with tendon damage. Still ridiculously painful and just as admirable for her to continue despite such an injury.
Aish Siva she actually tore two ligaments.

@@16050390 She did an interview and said it was her decision to vault again or not to. Yes, Bella Karoyli told her to do it...but, ultimately it was Kerri's decision.
Somewhere on RUclips there's a video of her explaining her decision why.
I have never heard of this before. 2019 and this makes me teary eyed! I can only imagine the collective screaming around all American TVs at that moment that day! I wish I was part of that.
This clip, however, also makes me self reflect how quickly I give up when things get hard. What an inspiration. Makes me believe I can fight through pains and hard things that go on in my life!
I heard (in a sermon about faith) that her coach (perhaps old coach) was telling her to keep her eyes on him ... and draw strength from him.
Anyway, this should be a movie (if it is not already one)
She was forced to do t
@@addisonm5423 ...and she could have fluffed it.. she didn't..
Not supporting Tiger Coaches or win at all costs, but she lived through the pain and WON.
It was an amazing moment. From literal failure to triumph. We all erupted. We originally thought that other foot never even came down and she landed a perfect vault one footed!
I remember this well. Probably the most iconic moment of the 1996 Olympics.
I'm not even American and I was on my feet rooting for her. I was a blubbering wreck afterwards. Got a lump in my throat watching it again.
20 years after and i cry again for this beatiful woman, i m proud of you kerri, forever
20 years ago this beautiful women served our country right. ❤️♥️♥️❤️❤️
How? By potentially killing herself by vaulting on a broken foot? You’re sick
robyn Lbanks winning a stupid medal is apparently more important than her ankle
My how we have grown. People are now aware that this was abusive. The USA did not need her to vault to "win at all cost". These young woman and young woman first and foremost. Thank you Ms. Biles for bringing this to the world attention.
Key difference is that Biles should have quit and let someone who was mentally and physically ready to take the chance to represent her country. To do so after she had gone to Tokyo, thus depriving of that girl the opportunity of a lifetime, is selfish.
MAD that your GOAT is a quitter. Should have practice her mental gymnastic
@@TomNook. to be fair, they have alternates so Jade Carey got to take her place thus Simone pulling out actually provided another girl an opportunity of a lifetime...
Anyone find it weird how Biles had the mental ability to get through to the Finals in all events, but somehow doesn't have enough to compete in Finals? Seems more and more that she was scared of letting her country down. Unless the pressure is impacting her vision or balance which can happen, but no reports of it.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
This didn't ruin her career, it made it!
didn't she never compete again
That was a career ending injury for her and Dominique Moceanu.
If you look at her closeup before the historic vault you can see a tear sliding down her cheek. She was hurting enough to cry yet performed an amazing vault. What a champion!
thats glitter
For someone who is used to sports injury, I felt the pain dude! That effin hurts!😬 I am used to my knee and Itbs injury but the once in a while foot injury and pain that I got scared me the most. Awesome athlete for still going despite being injured.
I tear up every time I watch this! Amazing!
Watched this live on tv. Always emotional. Can't believe it's been so long ago..
Ironically unbeknownst to the coaches and gymnasts at the time, they won the gold medal without this vault. She didn't have to sacrifice her ankle.
She sacrificed a chance at individual gold for team gold. The mark of a true champion!
I remember seeing this live. That 2nd vault was perfect, but she was clearly in agonizing pain
I remember watching this on my couch with my dad. It's one of my favorite Olympic moment.
Same here. I was 13. I witnessed history. I don't think the women's team ever won gold before then. Oh, and I had a mad crush on Dominic Moceanu.
Tyrone Branch... I cried like a baby every time and even after that... I was 12 in 1996, I thought it was the best thing ever. Albeit, Kerri was hurt and that is probably why cried but it was still amazing.
She was forced to do it
@@addisonm5423 she was not. You're taking clips from the interview with the coach, not her.
The drive of a champion. Not many have it. Talent isn't enough. The eye of the tiger is true. The thrill of the fight. Rising up to the challenge of our rival. Which, but, very few can accomplish in all walks of life. HAIL to the victors!!!
got to love seeing the difference between then and now, both in the comments and in the events.
I was 16 and absolutely loved this woman. even thought about going to the USA to find her. very insprirational
I was 15.
I remember watching this in '96 and it still gives me goosebumps today.
Important to note that she did NOT need to vault again to cinch the medal for Team USA. Her dedication and accomplishment should be celebrated, while also acknowledging the abusive, win-at-all-costs culture of gymnastics for so long.
Except they didn't know that until AFTER her second vault, as the russians performed one more time after. Her second vault cinched the mathematical win - no matter what happened or how the final Russian floor routine went, the americans were getting gold. Had she only done her first vault, it was still possible for them to lose.
as @@erin9868 rightly put it, this couldnt be known beforehand, because there was one more russian jump after her. In the words of wikipedia "Retrospectively, after a poor performance from the final Russian Roza Galieva on floor, Moceanu's score (9.200) would have been sufficient to beat the Russians even if Strug had not performed a second vault, as the lowest score for each team was dropped. However, Galieva performed after Strug, and therefore Strug needed to land a second vault on her feet in order to mathematically clinch the gold. "
Nobody asked you so shut up. This girl is an Olympic Hero
I cried then and I'm STILL crying seeing this moment 😩😭😭😭😭
I'm not crying. You are.😭
Cry even harder because Larry Nassar was the doctor who tended to her injured foot
The first olympic games I've ever watched. I remember that moment perfectly!!
wow reading the comments its clear that people think she did this because SHE wanted to but in reality she didn't have any other choice...her coach, Károlyi insisted to do it again...watch the documentary Athlete A and it will change the way how you watch this clip...
This clip from Athlete A was told from a different woman's point of view, who wasn't even there. Her main focus was the doctor that was sexually abusing people.
I watched this when it happened I still tear up when I replay it so many times it happened so fast sometimes it looks like she landed it on the right foot the vault one leg but then watching it again she landed on two legs but picks up the left leg quickly hops around then falls down. And looking good at the couches faces and people behind her yeah shouts of joy then there faces seeing her hop around like omg.
The ‘96 Olympics were the best Olympics ever!
Also, Chris Kattan does a hilarious Kerri. 🤣
She had a tear in her eye!
Blood, sweat and tears. For all we know that could have been sweat
Considering how much pain she was in that should not be surprising
Kerri Strug is a hero. Nothing else matters.
Nuff said! So true ❤️ 🇺🇸❤️
I was 7 when I saw this on television. Quite unforgetable...
Here's everything: determination, strong will, passion, HEART...
she's inspired me about this coming hurdle competition .. i always fell and giving up .. since i saw this video i think by giving up is not a champion heart .. thank you so much kerri !
This is what makes the Olympics beautiful.
Just a word of special appreciation today July 27, 2021. Your performance 25 years ago is what being a GOAT is all about. Thank you for the great sacrifice you made for your teammates and your country. It will never be forgotten.
Was coming here to watch this today because of what happened with Simone.
to this day, I cannot watch this without.........somebody's cutting up onions.
I always watch this when I'm feeling down. 😌😢
+TheBackSeat SAME IT is a real p lifter
Me too!!!
it's so nice to see the judge at 00:34 in the background, from happy emotion for her, to compassion when she sat down.
Shame on her coach for forcing her to vault again despite literally snapping ligaments in her ankle. This ended her career.
Lock her gold medal winning coach up!!!!!!!! Meg Arseneasu said so 😆
As least she is not remembered as a quitter.
@@klalhriatzuali6618 walking away while injured like she was isn't quitting 🙄 she was only 18 and had a life altering injury because she was pushed to vault again.
It's the Olympic games!!!!!! Most girls never make it and the ones who do seldom make it again in their lives. It's the pinnacle of their lives work. She is remembered for the rest of her life and most Americans for how brave she was!!!!!! People see her at the grocery store and stop and worship her for her bravery. She had the rest of her life to recover. She made million s in endorsement s because of this brave act. She is a personal hero to countless American s. You fight through the pain especially if you are a chosen few who are selected to represent the USA in the Olympic s. The USA did not send an austronut to the moon by not being brave. She helped her team win a gold medal!!!!!!
@@AlwaysBeARacerGirl The injury was on the first vault...
I remember watching this as a kid on tv , so amazing so inspiring. One of the best moments in Olympic history.
honestly speaking this video makes me bound to cry...true love for nation..true dedication for the nation..
As someone who has suffered a broken ankle i feel her pain.😢 These injuries are no joke they really hurt!
This is utterly admirable. Iconic Olympic moment.
I just broke my arm on beam in gymnastics and she is giving me hope to go back when I'm all healed such an icon 😁
This will be getting a lot of views in the near future....
Because this is what an actual hero looks like, not someone who quit because it was too "mentally tough"
@@F82M4yvr you haven’t got a clue of what it takes
@@F82M4yvr shut up. She didn’t want to do this it was abuse. It’s literally a metal. A person is more important than a metal. Simone is a true hero for putting her well being first. With the kind of tricks Simone does if she’s not 100% in it she could get severely injured or paralyzed so shut up
@@liennto neither do you dipshit lol, the greats don't quit. You think other athletes like Phelps didn't have the weight of the world on their shoulders too?
@@F82M4yvr it's the new "hero".. if you bow out because you're having " mental ' problems, you win, you can't lose.... you're the NEW hero.. watch and see, she'll get more praise than any gold medal winner, and she knows that. It's an easy win/win.sad times in Biden's America..
Greatest Olympic moment in my lifetime. The bar is high so if something beats this it will be one for the ages.
From seeing it on TV when it happened to now showing my son how strong a girl can be. She is amazing.
Am I the only one who cries everytime I watch her Vault..
She was always in the shadows of Shannon, Kim and Dominique! Awesome that it's HER legacy people will always remember just from that one vault! My fav Olympic memory!
Not so fast. Guess who was the doctor who tended to her ankle? Larry Nassar
The US was willing to injure a child for a victory. She won the gold but was never able to do gymnastics again because of her injury. She didn't have a choice, she didn’t break her ankle, she ruptured a ligament in her ankle and damaged a tendon in it: even worse than a break. Go watch the new Netflix documentary called "Athlete A" because this moment was mentioned. Truly sad and disgusting how they abused those girls
robyn Lbanks as far as we know she wasn’t molested by him thank God
Jenna Poole I’d rather listen to KERI who is on record stating had she not vaulted again it would have haunted her for giving up, she made the choice to go again no one else as it was a split second decision. Give the athlete some credit for making her own choice to vault again vs making it appear she was just a sheep. Secondly her ankle healed in just weeks, she did an entire gymnastics tour all year after Atlanta where she tumbled and flipped without issues so i don’t know where you are getting this idea that her ankle injury destroyed her physical abilities to ever tumble again. Lastly she had planned to retire after 96, she did not want to compete as an elite and never had plans to continue a competitive career in gymnastics so the ankle was not the reason she retired.
@@muckyou1490 Very well said. If it had been 4years earlier in Barcelona I believe it would have been Bela or Nuno's (who was the assistant coach) job to stop her from doing the second vault or at least discussed with her trying to protect her from more injury. but by this time she was eighteen and should have more of a say in what she could or could not do
Turns out the US team's lead was so great, Kerri actually *didnt* need to vault again. And shame on us for not recognizing that a young girls life was put at stake for a stupid medal.
link please
What about any of this makes you thikn that she almost died?
Please spare us. Mary Lou Retton retired at the same age. No injuries. Maybe she did it for herself. There's a reason why she was an Olympian and elite.
You have never competed in a sporting event in your entire life and you probably have no aspirations for greatness in your life
COPE least she is not remembered as a quitter.
Poor kid, the judge to the viewers lefts face says it all. She probably knew she'd just seen a career finished in front of her for a bit of shiny metal.
I still remember this perfectly as a kid, jumped up and cheered. There have been so many great Olympic moments, but nothing ever topped this for me.
jesus that made me cry legitimate tears.😢😢 Daaaammmnnnnn girl
+MarisolSun It is truly heart of gold
She was forced to do it
You got the sound/music wrong. Please fix it it is an amazing moment! I showed it to my kid, so he understands about sacrifice, effort and reaching your goals💪😊 Thank you!!!
Wow! I remember watching this with sweaty palms. She's outstanding!!
I remember watching this live, oh my god how inspiring the olympics used to be. These people were not just athletes but entertainers heroes and role models. I don't know what happened,same thing that happened with music and everything else, but something changed and now its uninspired and there is no spirit, taken for granted and routines are done more like a job without pushing limits or showing off skill just calculated for score and medal. Being an olympic champion meant heroic human spirit and pushing limits and showing the rest of the world what us humans are capable of. Kerry Strug, Dominic Moceanu, Andreea Raducan, and Alexei Nemov were my childhood heroes.
I have to agree with you. Lack of passion for...well...anything has corrupted the beauty of the things that used to inspire us.
Simone Biles, Gabby Douglas and Aly are uninspiring? Even coming through ears of sexual assault from their ‘doctor’ and coming through it like champs? They’ve changed the sport of gymnastics forever, including the expectation that women have to be waifs to compete and be the best. I disagree completely!
I cry every time I see this clip. What an amazing moment.
So much determination for a 14 year old girl props to her
This is so hard for me to watch. Knowing the abuse she'd endured that forced her to do that vault... it makes me sick. She should've been treated right then and there, not allowed to injure herself further.
You must have never been an athlete or competed or anything.
@@collin.grant1 I actually was on track to become an elite gymnast thanks for asking! But I also know about the horrifically abusive culture in gymnastics.
No one forced her to do that. Watch her interviews about that moment. It’s historic. It’s called the heart of a champion and a winner! Running track isn’t what’s going to make you an elite gymnast. Doing gymnastics is going to make you an elite gymnast.
Collin Grant she just said she was on track to become an elite gymnast lol. Nothing about running track...
@@quinnnichols7171 on track to be an elite gymnast hahahahaha delusional. You can't be an athlete without wanting to win, wanting to reach. Your body is a means to that goal.
The US already had an insurmountable lead. She did not have to vault again. And that injury ended her career.
Who could forget the magnificent seven. Unbelievable historic U. S. womens olympic gymnastics team.!!!
There is no glory without sacrifice. HER sacrifice. 🥇
So powerful. I'll never forget this
got shivers watching that
20 years later and I still tear up.
0:17 saw her tear, it must be painful, admire her strength and courage
One of the best moments in sports history!!! I remember watching that live and in tears. Still happens ☺️
remember guys! before 1997, the rules were the women get 2 vaults and the highest counts.
Daniel Lara it still is like that
@@alahna3482 no not in the olympics
It’s like that only in individuals not team now
Saw this live, I'll never forget it
I remember watching this live...amazing.
I cry every time I see this clip. THIS is what an Olympian looks like.
No its what her abusive coached forced her to do. She DIDN'T EVEN NEED to. Its DISGUSTING. IT ENDED HER CAREER.
@@wendyrodgers5906 By her own words, this is her proudest moment. She was not forced to do anything, she did it for herself and her team. What you are doing is trying destroy this great feat by a great athlete just so Biles doesn't get the flak she deserves.
@@johan8969 of course it is her proudest moment, the poor kids career was literally destroyed at that moment. Psychologically she can't look at that point and say she wishes she didn't do it, ever. It doesn't mean that she wasn't manipulated and bullied by her coach then. I bet when he saw her fall he had already written her off as a continuing competitor for the future. Let her have her last run,it was already the end.
@@Jennymlnd Where do you get the idea that she was bullied or manipulated? She wanted to do it, she did it, and it is her proudest moment. She has the mentality of an Oplympian champion and that include not letting herself of her team dowm. She is a winner and wanted to win. You are trying to shame a winner, without any evidence, for wanting to win just so you can protect a quitter who wasnt even injured.
A moment I'll never forget! I remember my heart breaking for her but then screaming because her score got the the gold. Great moment in Olympic history.
No one can diminish her incredible performance.
Don't forget, she went from this career ending injury to being handed straight to Larry Nassar.
It's stomach-turning to watch this again, esp. knowing that.
Definitely an iconic moment in American sports history that will live forever
that's the heart of an olympic champion
END OF STORY ! Amen..........
@@MrDpt70 thanks for bringing me back to this video
That's a child being pressured by her coach to win a medal at all costs.
@@jannamauldinheiner5030 in every interview she's done since then she's been proud of this feat
that's child abuse
Excellent Video!!
What Kerri did was incredible. A lot of things I didn't want to do, and they were hard things, mentors convinced me to go out and do it. And I did it! I don't regret it.
Besides I always felt most Gen-Zers lack guts!
This is heart, this what the Olympics is all about.
Such a heart of gold
inspirational
I want to be like that and I will
go Sophie go I believe in you
Tony Micel finally a positive encouraging reply lol. We need more people like u commenting. Kudos
Good luck sophie! You are an olympic champ in my eyes!
ok
She is a proud and brave and strong I watch gymnastics and do gymnastics and she is way better than what I watch.
Seriously +1 to Aish's comment here. As a HS gymnast during this time, who fell (a lot) like every other gymnast ever has, I so felt her pain here. She indeed broke her ankle and vaulted on it AGAIN. Heart of a true champion.
Made my cry a bit. What courage and strength. She was listed in my trivia game. I got her mixed up with Mary Lou Retton.
Fun fact - the US didn’t actually need her second vault to win.
This still gives me chills.
Kerri Strug is incredible on Vault.
momento magnifico!! me arrepio toda em ver!!
is it just me or does anyone else keep on replaying it
Shame that she and her coaches put herself through this- the US team already had enough points to win gold. As a result, she never competed again.
link please
As least she is not remembered as a quitter.
It wasn't guaranteed. We can only say she didn't need to do it after that fact.
@@klalhriatzuali6618 well that injury ended her gymnast career at 19. She shouldn’t have had to do that. The team had already won gold.
@@klalhriatzuali6618 Injuring yourself and choosing to not further you injury is called being a quitter?
