Steve Rybacki was very harsh and condescending. I mean it’s his job to coach and he wasn’t lying, but his tone sounds harsh, might have been hard to have them as coaches it’d be like two parents getting after you
I could understand why Vanessa Atler decided to leave his gym after 1999 nationals, he criticized her in a similar way after she fell on bars. They seemed more like her demanding parents than her coaches
These were like the Dark Ages for USA Gymnastics. Not that we didn't have talent, necessarily--I loved Mohini and Tabitha--but I think the coaching and choreography were really lacking. None of the routines from this time really stood out to me. It was all very utilitarian. Meh.
2001 and 2002 were generally dark ages for the sport. Nothing really stood out from this first half of the quad. Not even the greats like raducan and khorkina really stood out in 2001-2002
@@jorgebonilla2234 2000 at Sydney shouldn't have even counted, really. It was very much a rebuilding time. Not really the athletes fault alone... I mean that horse debacle was tragic in every way.
This was actually my favorite time for USAG, at least in recent years, because it was when the US started medalling internationally again. And it was actually exciting to medal, unlike now when it's almost expected.
Did Morgan White think she had any chance to make it as a specialist? That only happens if they can win an individual medal in ef, and White was not that athlete
***** Hm, yeah, I wonder what Bela's fondness for her was about. Maybe because she looked like the six pack, very tiny and frail? She definitely looks like the gymnasts that Bela trained back in the day
Bela called her stable?! She falls apart crying after every mistake, that Bela, is not stable. Stable is Tabitha Yim, keeping it together. If there was a picture next to the word Stable you would see Tabitha Yim's face
By this point she was so clearly struggling with an eating disorder, which made her so vulnerable to injury and made it difficult to heal her injuries. She looks so frail because she is. She had soooo many issues and at this point needed to quit gymnastics and get help.
Wow. This was a realllyyyyyyy rough time for USA WAG. national championships being determined by scores in the 8's. These ladies are good....but they just aren't elite.
Mohini is so underrated

Exactly why he’s one of the many who were suspended from coaching recently.
What he says doesn't seem helpful. It's just stupid.
I would want people to tell me where I messed up and how to fix it. But this dude is just... annoying and stupid. Geez.

I loved Tabitha's floor routine. Really beautiful. The Gliders gymnasts always had great choreography.
I agree
I love Katie's floor routine. It's so different and unique.
Tabitha Yim's wrists just kill me...she tried so hard to go for that elegant artsy look and then the broken wrists just butcher her lines and efforts.
2000- just after the '04 Olympics was a strange time for USA Gymnastics.

wow, they really loved tasha's opening pass on floor . . .
I really liked Krystals Uzelac Gymnastics. Too bad she was injury prone the next year and in following years.
Mohini Bhardwaj and Alicia Sacramone are very alike in style...

Yeah, You need to have a World medal to be a specialist tbh. You also cant self-destruct after every mistake.

amethyst5512 poor Morgan was also abused by Larry Nassar

It was a new code and they hadn’t figured out start values yet. Scores were low at the first two worlds too, so no need to denigrate the athletes
@@jorgebonilla2234 And these scores won the gymnasts a bronze medal at Worlds! Seems pretty elite to me
There's always a lull the year after the Olympics... and the national champ is seldom heard from again really.
Steve ribeckwhatever. I wouldn't let him near my daughter. Especially as a coach. I don't understand. Just blah!
i like katie heenan's floor.
Morgan wasn’t good enough at this point.
