  • Shannon Miller performs three consecutive whipbacks in her winning floor exercise routine in the 1993 Hilton Challenge.
    Kim Zmeskal had recently retired, which saw Shannon adopt that gymnast's world-famous trademark pass. This event also marked the first time in history that a USA women's gymnastics team bested all possible contenders from the (former) Soviet Union.

    This is one of my favorite routines of all time. The choreography, music and tumbling are a perfect combination.

    Whipback is the sweetest looking gymnastics move, it might be simple but i think it looks the coolest

    I love the whipback. I wish the gymnasts today would do them.

    I still say Shannon was ROBBED in '92!
    21yrs later, not gonna change that!

    Shannon has the most elegant form/extension in whipbacks that I've ever seen, definitely looks like more than just an elevated flipflop when she does it!
    I sorta think of this as a farewell tribute to Kim Zmeskal, during her (first) retirement ;)

    Sooo beautiful. She danced from the tips of her fingers to her toes. I think her dance was less noticeable at the time because her music was very understated, but watching this now, it looks like you would see this in a ballet.

    what an incredibly fluid flood routine! i recently hurt my back and i could not imagine how much pain she would be in doing that routine! incredible!

  • @ImmortalSynn
    @ImmortalSynn  11 лет назад

    Agreed!
    That, and I can't believe that this was 20yrs ago this year!

  • @ImmortalSynn
    @ImmortalSynn  16 лет назад +1

    Indeed.
    Dominique also has some extremely high ones in the video "Dominique Dawes: a Final Performance".

    PS I have created a gymnastics playlist so sometimes I speak of others in the process of watching in shuffle, but I have love for them and many more. My admiration of Shannon is her uniqueness, my like of Dawes doesn't take away from anything that she's done. I'm glad at a young age I got to see both, but thanks for the upload! Replay ;)

  • @corcovadoquelindo
    @corcovadoquelindo 11 лет назад

    Well, we're all entitled to our own opinions I can agree to disagree but I'm glad you did so respectfully. Either way I love them both and appreciate what they bring, Shannon to me is one of the best and has the medals to prove it, but I'm grateful to have more than one US gymnast to admire regardless of olympic wins. Shannon has made me gasp, but I can never forget Dominique tumbling across the floor and then back again. Well, I have love for them in their own different ways.

  • @ImmortalSynn
    @ImmortalSynn  11 лет назад

    Definitely agree with you there... ALWAYS thought that!

    @ImmortalSynn Actually, this mix is composed of three songs: The Mail, Wonderful Violin, and Gypsy Song. And yes, they are all three exquisite :)

  • @ImmortalSynn
    @ImmortalSynn  15 лет назад

    Well said.

    @keith9536
    ...if you like this, then I strongly recommend buying/downloading more of Sandor Lakatos' music. His songs "The Mail" and "Gypsy Violin" were spliced together to create this music, but their full versions are awesome in their own right!

  • @flickymcbean

    @luv4cookie1 Shannon may be a more decorated gymnast but when it comes to tumbling, there is no competition between her and Kim. Her tripple whip tumbling pass is far better than this.

  • @corcovadoquelindo
    @corcovadoquelindo 11 лет назад

    I love Dominique Dawes and Shannon Miller. Awesome Daweson and stick it like Shannon!

  • @ImmortalSynn
    @ImmortalSynn  11 лет назад

    Cool, will probably have a look!

  • @ImmortalSynn

    @37tonya Also, I do not have the USA vs Romania entire meet, only clips. And even then, they're very low quality.

  • @ImmortalSynn

    @37tonya
    For whatever reason, RUclips just made this post appear today, when they changed the chat format. Send me a private message, and we'll see what we can do. Though I just re-watched the tape, and it's missing a small part (about 4min) of the very end... my sister recorded over it. If you still want it, contact me by PM here, and we'll go from there. Again, apologies for the delay, I had no idea this post was made.

  • @ImmortalSynn
    @ImmortalSynn  11 лет назад

    LOL, I'm not sure what we're disagreeing on... I was talking about the Barcelona All-Around between Miller and Gutsu, nothing to do with Dawes, who's probably my favorite gymnast of all time.

  • @ImmortalSynn

    @37tonya
    I have it, but it's not digitized. It was a longggggg meet, I doubt you'll find the whole thing, but who knows. :)
    There are several other clips of it besides just these two.

  • @ImmortalSynn
    @ImmortalSynn  14 лет назад

    @arielle1997
    Yes, she did.

  • @ImmortalSynn
    @ImmortalSynn  12 лет назад

    @37tonya
    Sure, schedule is a lot more open, so I can do it. I have the full women's meet, and a good bit of the men's, but not all of it. A bit of static, but still very clear for being a 19yr old tape. :)

  • @ImmortalSynn

    @37tonya
    RUclips has its own private email exchange for all members
    Also, do you require a VHS tape? I can send it as an *.mpg (to view on computer) or a DVD much more easily than I can by replicating a VHS.
    If you choose digital, give me until this Sunday, allow me to see if I can digitize it in its entirety. If so, we'll figure out a fair offering from there. I don't think $12 ($10 for the tape, $2 to compensate shipping) is unfair, do you? If VHS, it'd be more due to more effort

  • @37tonya
    @37tonya 13 лет назад

    Does anyone have the whole meet? I would love to watch it if it can be downloaded on youtube. Thanks in advance.

  • @ImmortalSynn
    @ImmortalSynn  12 лет назад

    @Rxrefill08
    Huh?? Where are you getting ANY of that??

  • @37tonya
    @37tonya 13 лет назад

    Ok. but if you are willing to sell it please let me know. I can buy a VHS copy from you if have a good copy on tape. Thanks for responding back to me.

  • @ImmortalSynn
    @ImmortalSynn  15 лет назад

    That's an opinion, which you or anyone else is more than entitled to have... but also keep in mind that Shannon won wayyyyy more accolades, in more venues, than Kim ever did.
    So it's certainly arguable.

  • @kras118

    Did she eventually add a punch front after the double twist?

    • @ImmortalSynn
      @ImmortalSynn  7 лет назад

      Yes, but not for this specific routine.

  • @Sarah.Riedel
    @Sarah.Riedel 6 лет назад

    My signature pass (a double not a triple) in 1994.

  • @37tonya
    @37tonya 12 лет назад

    @ImmortalSynn Ok, great....just tell me the address of where to send the money order and also the cost.....I would like a VHS tape and don't worry about the men's portion because I an not really a fan of men's gymnastics. thanks

  • @37tonya
    @37tonya 12 лет назад

    @37tonya Are you still willing to tape these meets for me? Let me know OK.

  • @ImmortalSynn
    @ImmortalSynn  14 лет назад

    No prob.

  • @ImmortalSynn
    @ImmortalSynn  13 лет назад +1

    @37tonya
    gimme about two weeks, then send me a private message. Have tons going on right now, but should have much more free time then. Might be able to digitize and send you it, if you'll pay for the DVD-RW and shipping (Paypal or whatever) costs. Neither should be much, just for a CD.

    I understand what you mean.
    Dominique flipped across the entire floor and back... no way, this was better. This was good, but DD was bomb.!!

    @01aabads
    "Steal"? Well, Kim was gone by this point, and she didn't return for nearly 4yrs later. So seems it was up for fair grabs to me.
    Lavinia Milosovici obviously thought the same thing, as she also performed the same pass, with a front added after the double twist, at this point (and all the way up to the '96 Olympics) as well.

    That makes no sense.... but oh well, takes all types I guess.
