      I am the same… when I was a kid, I remember watching Shannon (all summer my friend and I were doing somersaults in the backyard pretending to be Shannon). When I grew up, Shawn’s beam routine in 2008 was another I always remembered. Don’t remember a lot of gymnast (because I only watched every four years) but those two names were ingrained in my memory and I watched the whole video just to see them specifically.

      In 2016 it was a 0.5 point deduction only (now it’s 1 point), she used to score 15.6+ with her beam, while the rest would score a 15(If we exclude the top 2) at their very best, but they also didn’t perform 100%.
