Simone biles is a powerhouse but those of us who were old enough know we’ve seen greatness before but it wasn’t recognized like today. I wanted to do gymnastics as a child because of Dominque . I was so fascinated as a little girl looking at her on tv flipping in my living room. Pissing my mother tf off standing on the arm of the sofa like it was a beam 😂
I've been a fan of Dominique Daws for years. She has always been a favorite of mine because she always has great new skills to showcase. Keep up the good work!
Awesome Dawesome! I remember her as part of the 1996 Olympic gymnastics team, the Magnificent Seven! Those back to back tumbling passes are what makes her a gymnastics legend.
Like I said on another of your posts, seeing this as a 10 year old was insanity to me. 🤯I remember this first clip on television and they were just like watch this kid here! And boy they were right. 3 time Olympian and Magnificent Seven legend. What a time to be alive!
Love this and I love Dominique Dawes. I hope they bring this back some day. Perhaps add new rules like having to change from back to front tumbling. That would be interesting.
back to back tumbling is currently banned in the Code of Points which is why it is not done anymore. They banned it because it leads to a lot of Achilles injuries and disrupts the flow of the routine, so its unlikely that it will ever be unbanned.
@@ashley011495It may lead to Achilles’ tendon issues but if the FIG (or whomever it is that comes up with the rules for Code of Points) thinks it disrupts the flow of a routine, they don’t have eyes, because there was no disruption at all in Dominique’s routine and those of most other elite level gymnasts who had back-to-back tumbling passes. Remember, they’re the ones who are penalizing creativity and originality in today’s gymnastics, which is why most uneven bar routines all look the same, and why flailing the arms around during beam routines now counts as “dance” 😂
Dominique Dawes and Gabby Douglas seems to get forgotten in the shadow of Simone Biles greatness but she is an incredible athlete in her own right. Dominique was only the second woman ever to go to three Olympics for Artistic Gymnastics. Even now only two other women have gone to three. The most recent of course being Simone Biles. Always loved watching her.
I loved this young lady back then, to thid day i still get chills and good vibes from watching her. How old was simone back then, or was she even born❤ was was everything in her era.
I was obsessed with her. I called her Ms springs in her feet 👣 ❤The Magnificent 7 were my babies and you could tell me nothing about them. The 2 Dominique’s had my whole heart ❤️
I got dizzy ftom trying to keep up on my screen...my goodness she is good. I wouod have been 3-6 yrs old during Dominique's reign. Too young to remember or be interested in gymnastics. Luckily youtube brings her back in my 30's to enjoy her timeless art.
Now I understand what people mean when they say gymnastics used to be more graceful. It has truly changed to doing and landing the most complex flips for points
One of the BEST ever!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 TOTALLY ROBBED in her career---was such a shame (or should I say "sham"?). She was absolutely AMAZING & deserved so much more than she got. THAT story continues on---SADLY. 😑😑😑
I really stopped paying attention to gymnastics after she left. Everyone was cohesive and unique in their own way. None of their interactions with each other seemed fake. My favorite gymnast right here.
I just found out that tumbling flip back down the floor was created and owned by Dominique. Guess they couldn't keep giving her 10s so they banned it haha Loved her ❤️
@@nightswimmer99 it was 20 yrs ago so that would’ve made Simone 7 yrs old so I don’t think she would’ve been able “produce her own version” and the way gymnastics is now if the value isn’t there gymnasts don’t do the skills.
With the ever changing of rules and what they consider a technical routine now, it was completely different before. It’s too controversial now and I don’t know how they judge. To me she is the goat.
Simple -- she doesn't have the medals and results to be considered the goat. She was great and went to three Olympics, but she never won anything at Worlds or Olympics as an individual. Biles won the All Around in 13 14 15 16 18 19 23 and 24 (and the floor title all those years except one).
Crazy how slender these athletes were compared to now (yes I’m implying some suspicious usage of things to help these present women get so jacked and strong)

For sure...these girls were absolute icons to me as a 10 year old. Magnificent
Yes! I had her poster on my wall! I loved her and Shannon.
We know EXACTLY what you mean 😂
Yes! 😂❤ We know EXACTLY what you mean!
This my Simone biles ❤
Ditto
I used to love watching her in my youth. She was so effortlessly glamorous and talented. That double tumbling pass will always be the best.
Yesss her’s and Aly Raisman’s first pass are incredible, very show-stopping and unique
The way she's literally flying through the air with the the superhero music on the background is surreal.

Thank you!

True! A kid phenom and legendary 3-time Olympian!
It was that was an awesome Olympics

DMV Legend, the Real Wonder Women🎉❤🎉
Just saw her a couple of days ago in Silver Spring Maryland for the unveiling of her statue at the recreation center!
Lucky you! That must’ve been awesome! Awesome Dawesome!
This is like composing a masterpiece. What she did will always be seen and admired.
What an amazing gymnast.
She was fantastic to watch!😊
LOVE Ms Awesome, such a fun athlete to watch!!!!!!!!!!
Back in the day, this was the reason I watched. It was amazing to see then, and it still is now.❤❤❤
I've been watching for years and these girls are fantastic 👍👌👏👏💯
She was on the dream team in Atlanta
My all time fave gymnast
I remember watching her do that, I’ve always wondered why no one else has done it since. She was one the greatest of her time!
She’s awesome! I remember every routine she did
The best!!!!
Amazing❤
I loved watching her back in the day….
The GOAT on the floor routine. After watching the all around, I had to show everyone who didn't know one of the mkst entertaining gymnast of all time!
Did she ever score a perfect 🔟?
@@user-wi6cz4hh5b Yes
Loved seeing her go across and come right back…can watch this over and over!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dominique defied gravity. What a graceful, amazing gymnast she was and what a breathtaking routine.
A Beautiful Legend!❤🎉
She’s always been a fave of mineb
Wow, fantastic.
AWESOME DAWESOME! ❤️

She walked so they could run 🏆
So Betty Okino
Did she ever score a perfect 10?
@@user-wi6cz4hh5bmaybe the question should be, would she have ever been allowed to? After all, this is a judged sport.
Amazing 👏🏾 🤩 🙀 😯 😮 😲

Amazing!
She was adorable
Jawdropping!😮

Wtf? She is in the hall of fame! She was highly praised back in her day. Easily one of the faves.
Wow!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember one commentator once say (paraphrasing) “Here’s her first tumbling pass. That FAMOUS tumbling pass!” Thrilled to again see this.
❤❤❤
The absolute best no wonder i wanted to ne a gymnast
The Bionic Woman come to life.
💫⭐️🌟⭐️🌟❤🎉
It's a travesty these are devalued now. They were like a building of excitement on the edge of your seat to the mic drop moment. Loved watching her!!!
DA "BLUEPRINT" IN THE HHHOUSE🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉💌💌💌🎉🎆🎊🎇💥💯!!!
Where is she at now omg that’s talent haven’t seen this done since she left
Opening gyms in Maryland
And getting statues dedicated in her image and honor last week in Silver Spring, MD
Estar em boa forma é importante...ginastas atuais devem rever seus corpos masculinos e observar as precursoras da ginástica...
I feel like gymnasts of that era were more technically precise, proficient, and rigorous than now. Their routines seem to be longer, too.
Nao pode mais fazer esse passo duplo??? Pq nunca vi ninguém fazendo além dela.
Omg❤❤❤❤❤
Yeah...I can't do that.
This was probably the last time these floor routines were unique and exciting.
Exactly. Now it’s just power tumbling. No Personality.
I really stopped paying attention to gymnastics after she left. Everyone was cohesive and unique in their own way. None of their interactions with each other seemed fake. My favorite gymnast right here.
I just found out that tumbling flip back down the floor was created and owned by Dominique. Guess they couldn't keep giving her 10s so they banned it haha Loved her ❤️
❤WOW❤
Ni a la Biles, ni K. olashi, o como se escriba, las he visto hacer eso. maravillosa!👏💐
They can’t because it is now against the rules
@@nicholeblakelypretty certain both could have produced their own versions in their 1st or 2nd year at Senior level.
@@nightswimmer99 it was 20 yrs ago so that would’ve made Simone 7 yrs old so I don’t think she would’ve been able “produce her own version” and the way gymnastics is now if the value isn’t there gymnasts don’t do the skills.
Maybe Dominique will go watch the Games in Paris
Did she ever score a perfect 10?
The camera could barely keep up. Luv Simone but Dominique got me excited like no other gymnast.🤸
She made the path for Simone Biles
Whattttttttttt????😮😮😮😮
I watch these girls and it's almost like it's AI or somethin' ... like it looks unreal!!!!!!!!
wow I get dizzy just watching this marathon pass
Would gymnasts today be allowed to do this kind of tumbling if they wanted to?
I believe they can not link two passes together. Especially not with banned skills!
@@worldartgym Do you know why that is?
Why isn't she considered the goat? Summer of the things they do now don't compare to what she was doing 40 yrs ago 🤔
With the ever changing of rules and what they consider a technical routine now, it was completely different before. It’s too controversial now and I don’t know how they judge. To me she is the goat.
Simple -- she doesn't have the medals and results to be considered the goat. She was great and went to three Olympics, but she never won anything at Worlds or Olympics as an individual. Biles won the All Around in 13 14 15 16 18 19 23 and 24 (and the floor title all those years except one).
Why don’t gymnasts do back-to-back passes anymore?
Why has the double back got extint
I grew up on Dominique Dawes; now it's Simone Biles. Dominique crawled so Simone could walk
It took Dominique Dawes to swim so Simone biles could fly
She is not human. Must have built in shock restitance
Why is it extinct?
I don’t know why everyone thinks Simone Biles is the best. The 90s crew seemed better to me.
Might have something to do with medal count and the fact she can do things no one else does... it's not rocket surgery.
Crazy how slender these athletes were compared to now (yes I’m implying some suspicious usage of things to help these present women get so jacked and strong)
The difference is FOOD. They are allowed some now. 😄 That and the average gymnast is a few years more mature.
Lol you should try having some suspicion of 90s diet culture and the fact these young women were severely underfed for competitions.
Black gymnast less grace but powerfull skills.
She had plenty of grace. What does her race have anything to do with this?
MRS. DAWES IS BETTER THAN BILES. MRS. DAWES HAS SOMETHING BILES WILL NEVER HAVE,"FINESSE" AND "ARTISTRY".
They're both better than you'll ever be, because they won't put someone down to build someone else up.
