i love her so much ❤️ while simone biles is an amazing gymnast i don’t think anyone really compares to shannon. she was so powerful yet elegant and everything flowed w her gymnastics. i miss her in the sport so much!
OMG! Shannon was NOT powerful!!!! She competed a double layout ONCE (96 nat) and it was SEVERELY PIKED!!!! Thats not powerful!!!! I love Shannon too, but she was NOT POWERFUL! She was a beautiful and graceful gymnast with great technique, STUNNING visually, and a FIERCE COMPETITOR!!!! Your comment is like saying “when Simone does floor,OMG I feel the music and I feel like I’m at the Russian Ballet”... LMFGAO! Simone has no artistry, grace, or dance on floor. But we still love them.
@@kendrahwhyte9960 I would not use the word grotesque LOL, it’s just a different body type. I always hated when people would say that her Khorkina Look ugly when she did her yurchenko half on One and a half vault, hello she’s just a skinny person so regardless of how she does the vault she’s going to look lanky. Simone has powerful legs and those thunder thighs have made her the queen of gymnastics of all time. She has amazing form, and that power is breathtaking. When you see her charging down that runway on the vault, it’s the equivalent of a Greek God on a chariot! Both their bodies are beautiful, I love gymnast of every shape and size. Seeing human beings manipulate their bodies and gravity at an elite level is magic
@@2010hotmale2010 regardless of her struggling on ONE move (double layout on floor) the POINT is Shannon displayed a beauty with her gymnastics that does not exist in todays women’s gymnastics. She may not have been the most powerful but she definitely was a top athlete and had the perfect balance of artistry and athleticism which was the point of the original poster. Simone is all power but no beauty which is the trend of gymnastics today vs the 90’s early 2000’s era.
She was such an amazing gymnast, I feel like you just don't see this type of form from today's gymnasts. I got to meet her at gymnastics camp one year, she was so sweet too :)
Her landing's always cracked me up. She would know how to not take that step forward by standing on her tiptoe's and saluting and taking that momentous step that should count as a deduction by finishing her salute. That's some gymnastics swag lol
Hi from Scotland🏴 I get good vibes from this lady...I know...I have never even met her. I always followed her Gymnastics...but more so after having read a copy of her book which I brought in Las Vegas in 1999. Always get this feeling too that she is a perfectionist.🎖️ Respect to you Shannon.👍
Are you guys really judging her SIZE? Look at her! She's not more than 120 pounds here, and she's fully grown. She was 19 in '96, still with room for a growth spurt. She is all muscle. And if she did fill out, she's still a better athlete than probably
I honestly think it’s because the bars were wider apart so more speed and power could be generated. And then she grew so she had an adult body so the bars would move more with her as opposed to this little skinny girl relying totally on technique (kind of like those really small Chinese girls who just don’t weigh that much, so they can only hit the springboard on the vault so hard, but regardless will not fly like a more built heavier athlete)
I agree that Miller's bar routine in this competition was the best it had ever been, but I honestly think that overall, she was in her peak form in 1992. All her performances in the Barcelona Olympic Games were fluid and nearly flawless and she medalled in every event but the vault. Her youth, very small size, and tireless energy gave her a clear advantage over many of the world's best there. Unfortunately, Miller's growth spurt and injuries began to catch up with her four years later and the difference really showed in the 1996 Games. Despite winning gold in the team finals and on beam in Atlanta, both her vault and floor performances suffered greatly in the all-around competition. By the 2000 Trials, she was in such bad shape that her only high score was on bars, and the team, already with many strong bar workers, did not even need her here anymore. Even on beam, once the event that had made her famous, her routine was now watered down and her score low despite a nearly solid performance. Although I greatly respected and admired Miller, her withdrawal from the 2000 Trials was actually a blessing in disguise. Not only was she in poor bodily condition but no longer even possessed the mental fitness to handle a third Olympics. The all-around competition in Sydney was catastrophic, with the vault set too low and many girls falling and then botching other events. Had Miller made the team, not only might she not have made a difference but might also have gotten badly hurt either physically or psychologically. She had already proven herself by picking up a total of seven medals between two Olympic Games, and so 2000 was her time to bow out gracefully. Miller has always been a legend in the athletic world in my eyes and always will be.
@@ericaswenson1034 Have you seen her bar routine in Barcelona 1992 or in Birmingham 1993 ( world championships individual finals where she won the gold on bars)? Shannon was my childhood idol, but this comeback was a disaster...
@@maria_haarajoki I remember her performance in the Barcelona Olympics. She took home two silver medals: in the All-around and on beam; and three bronze medals: in the team final, on bars, and on floor. Yes, I agree with you that she was phenomenal in the sport of gymnastics, one of the world's best. I also find it amazing that she is an ovarian cancer survivor.
@@ericaswenson1034 Miller would not have been competing in the All Around finals in Sydney so the vault thing would not have been a worry at all for her. It was only set wrong for the All Around, which she would not have been in, in the first place. I would have liked to have seen her make the team, even as a token bit contributer. The team did win a bronze in the end, which they likely still get with her, so she would have gotten a medal in a 3rd Olympics too now which would have been nice for her.
Shannon Müller ist bis heute für mich die beste Turnerin aller Zeiten! Ich habe sie in den 90-ziger Jahren immer gern turnen gesehen, ihre Eleganz und großartigen Leistungen an den Geräten machten sie einmalig!
She was a tremendous gymnast. Should have had Olympic AA gold in 1992. Led the 1996 team. In 2000, injuries simply caught up with her. On a related note, while Shannon didn’t make the 2000 team, Dominique Dawes and Amy Chow did. I’m often surprised that people seem to forget Dominique was on THREE Olympic teams, and Amy Chow was on two.
The only event she could help the team is beam. Vault and floor she wouldn't have even been used, and bars they already counted 4 9.7+ scores. So beam is the only place she could help, and she would have needed to improve a lot from Olympic Trials where a hit beam routine by her still scored only in the 9.2s.
The great thing about this video is that it shows the job of a spotter- safely rotating the gymnast so she doesn't land on her head. If only the people commenting 'why didn't he catch her/the dude who was supposed to catch her sucks' on any video with a fall in it could see this..
I can't believe Steve Nuno is telling her what to do. Didn't she have a routine planned? Of course she had. I can imagine that a coach tells her to do a certain element or not, but the whole routine?
She would have done well at this Olympics! She was a fighter and pulled it off when it mattered. Also she says her knee was just fine three weeks after this.
@MistRDonuT94 Yes, in WAG it's the Chusovitina. I once saw the skill referred to as a "Thomas" in MAG, but in my youth I read a lot of gymnastics books with less-than-accurate info so I assume you're right.
+Richard Carnegie No, it's named the Chusovitina after she first did it in 1991 Worlds in combination with her DMT, which also bears her name in the code.
+Richard Carnegie NO :( Unfortunately that is also a no. Steve Nunno is a really confused individual. That situation reared it's head at this same competition (2000 US Olympic Trials). She performed the oak tree (back dive 1/4 to HS) and the "miller" (oak tree 1/2 pirouette to split hold) and received the same value for both, cancelling the "Miller" hence the low SV on beam. I think in the 93-96 code, it was considered a variation of the Omelianchik, so it was credited as a diff. skill, but from 00 onward, the turn has to be completed before HS landing. No Miller on beam, or ever was. She did have the cast to HS 1.5 pirouette to mixed grip that was named after her (1994), since they've alot of the variations of pirouettes, they removed her name, so no Miller, Dawes, Kim, Chow, Khorkina... Regardless, the skill she used to have named after her is still a D, I recall seeing it as late as 2001 (Raducan? other Romanians?).
@timo5494 Actually: "The Miller" is the move she performed on beam in the 1993 worlds - the backflip 3/4 turn to split handstand, then lowering on to the beam
The hop-full, which Miller did here and the commentator referred to as the "Miller" is named after Oksana Chusovitina in the Code of Points- therefore it is the "Chusovitina" and not the "Miller." Shannon Miller has one move named after her on the uneven bars, but it is completely different from a hop-full. Don't believe everything you hear from commentators.
starsweet well, she had a deviated septum and had trouble breathing the bones we're blocking her nasal passages... So to keep the real nose (this is still her real nose, just minus bone that didn't belong) would have inhibited her breathibg further
I know- I was a bit bummed when she started having all the plastic surgery. “Deviated septum” or whatever you want to blame it on. She’s had several revisions to her nose since her first surgery in 1998 . I’m almost positive she’s gotten a chin implant as well somewhere along the way.
Had Shannon originated a skill on the bars it would also have been called the Miller (although in this case the commentator is wrong - the skill in the routine is named after Oksana Chusovitina). Take Svetlana Khorkina for example, she has several "Khorkina's" named after her, on all four events!
Yeah isn't that called a Chusovitna because she performed it first in competition? And even she wasn't the first to compete that skill. Ignorant commentators.
@metsdudenj ....and? Who cares? Why are so people so *gasp OMGaaaaahhhhd she did something to her face!!!!!!!* I will never understand why people care about that crap. A nose job is like an abortion--it's nobody's business but their own.
It’s actually a different routine with some new skills (mount, invert giants, toe on hecht), but she took out some of her old skills (ginger, double layout) which to me makes this routine slightly easier.
R. Benedict Vergara lmaoo and she's what? Fat here? No, she's a very slight, thin "woman" Here Shannon is 4" 11 and weighs "98 lbs* she is far from fat... Smh the ignorance is astounding
One of the most beautiful, elegant American gymnasts ever!
She was a master at making the landing, no matter what!

Her coach didn’t even catch her .. Shannon new how to tuck and roll out of it thankfully!
For the last time, Tim Daggett: That is NOT called "the Miller"!
Good routine. Well done!
The hop full is called a Chusovitina.
so excellent I love it so good on uneven bars
This video starts at 1:40, not 0:00
G.O.A.T.
Nope. Biles
@Andrea Taylorif you really think biles couldn’t compete with miller during her peak? you need to get your head checked out.
Her legs are literally glued together. She's something special. She's the real deal.
Lizzy Jones literally glued together? Do you know what the word “ literally” means?
It's a saying.. It doesn't actually mean literally in this case. It's an expression that means perfect. Don't be an ass.
wow she grew from 1996, it is fun to see the change
I can't believe Steve Nuno is telling her what to do. Didn't she have a routine planned? Of course she had. I can imagine that a coach tells her to do a certain element or not, but the whole routine?
She RULES! 👏✌️
She really looks like an adult here, in her face. I'm used to seeing her as a younger person tbh it is weird to me now
Nose job too I believe she had a deviated septum. Looks quite different but better!
She would have done well at this Olympics! She was a fighter and pulled it off when it mattered. Also she says her knee was just fine three weeks after this.
BAM! that landing.
Can't believe Tim was still calling the hop-full a Miller in 2000. It's a Chusovitina.
As has been said, it's the Chusovitina, but Olga Karavaeva is the actual originator!
@HeyButtahfly so what is it called, someone commented also it is called the Miller, read the comments.
@HeyButtahfly I thought that the code credited Miller and Chusovitna with the full over on uneven bars.
0.43 she knew how to land when she missed.
@MistRDonuT94 Yes, in WAG it's the Chusovitina. I once saw the skill referred to as a "Thomas" in MAG, but in my youth I read a lot of gymnastics books with less-than-accurate info so I assume you're right.
WOW!!! SHANNON STUCK THAT GOOD!
If they were literally glued together, they would have glue on them.
she swun bars better here then in Atlanta
Isn't it a Chuso?
How the come the coaches don't have mics this loud anymore?
Yep!
Talk about CLAW BANGS! DANG!
Whaaa?? What the heck was that mount
@HeyButtahfly hehe, ya I know.. but if she had done it in international competition they were hoping it would be recognized as the "Miller".
Yo de niña me.creia gimnasta idola shannon igual que Nadia comanecci
@timo5494 Does anyone actually HAVE the code of points handy to prove so?
Bar routine starts just at 1:32
too bad no HD
Her smile is really pretty :D
What is that guy talking about? the Miller is done on the beam.
Was Elfie being sarcastic when she said "Good catch by Steve Nunno"?
I love her but did she only do one release ?
the full in over the bars was a release. That's 2
i know what you mean, its names after chuso
She looks so much more filled out than in 1996. Did she take time off or did she finally hit a growth spurt?
Malixie she's a 23 year old woman here no longer a 16 year old pre pubescent
