exactly. shawn made it super clear that she worked her butt off and she could not be happier with her result. that part of the little documentary rubbed me the wrong way.

NBC in 1996: Silver in 1992 was disappointing for Shannon Miller. NBC in 2011: Gold on beam in 2008 was disappointing for Shawn Johnson. Were they maybe more reasonable in ‘96?

Hell yeah! Shawn is the bomb.com for real!!!😋😁😁😍💞

@@casandraleff4462 I agree!

Ugh they always do that with gymnasts, and even athletes in other sports as well. Nobody cares unless you win gold. In 2008 it was all about Nastia and Shawn, even though four other girls won an Olympic medal in gymnastics for USA. Same thing happened in 2004; it was all about Carly Patterson because she was the only one of the team who won a gold. It's stupid, a silver medal is a huge accomplishment but the media acts as though it's worth nothing.

17:18 too cute, and too true :)

shes just like "i know i am"

Fan-“Best vaulter in the world! “ McKayla- 😏

Im hoping she makes a comeback for 2021 now that the olympics have been postponed

Monica de Diego surprise!

I agree!!!! Or Worlds 2021.

She actually just hurt her ankle:(

@@Monicadediego3 I’m really hoping her comeback goes smooth for her and she accomplishes what she wants

I know, right?

That had me dying laughing why didnt the comenters say something about that??

Her reaction was so cute ❤ I love her

Yes haha

Emma Bigg lol 😂

It would be a nice thing if it wasn’t John Geddert...

Shame he’s a terrible person

yeah

Amibeth Behnke I agree

I completely agree.😊

Yes she would!!!!

Oh yesss

Hell yeah! I swear it even kinda looks like if he HADN'T moved aside, she TOTALLY Woulda elbow checked him, haha! Wish she would have....

LOVE IT!

Good job, Shawn! ❤

If he wouldn’t have moved I would’ve made Larry nassar pay for not moving 😂😂

She was not playing with him !!!

I never like Rebbecca Bross. She is a great gymnast and can do things I can't but I never got excited for her.

Yeah. She was a great athlete.😕

Felt like she was pushed too hard.

Rebecca was my idol!!! I'll nerver forget on her achievements!

Omg and she's s ooo stoic, you KNOW When she falls back & lets out that moan/scream.... sue had to have been in some SERIOUS PAIN.... I don't know why I'm literally the ONLY PERSON I KNOW who has had a serious knee injury (fell off my young horse when cross country jump schooling a pretty high level combination straight to a big down bank drop into the water back when I was about 18??) And I completely "popped" aka 100% severed my PCL- POSTERIOR cruciate ligament- ACL is your ANTERIOR- the 2 form an X behind your knee to support your knee joint along with your meniscus... I even remembver hearing as well as feeling that SNNNNAAPP/POPPP!!! Even through the nasal bone crunching I also did when after 1st landing on my completely bent left knee cap- which pressed my shin bone back so far behind my knee, it completely tore my PCL in two in one fell swoop- but immediately AFTER smashing down on my knee, and severely spraining my stupid left ankle for my 3rd time in 5yrs- I then did a face plant straight into the sharp, 2" gravel chunks that made up the bottom of & edges of the water complex. Thank goodness for the fact that I had a relatively strong, fixed visor on my helmet that took at LEAST SOME of the impact for me, so, I d8dbt lose any TEETH that day & only broke my nose & got som e GNARLY road rash on just about 80% of my face from about my eyebrows down.... my visor level & above escaped cleanly! Haha. But, man.... those kinds of knee injuries are such a VICIOUS, INSTANTANEOUS, SHARP PAIN... u don't have to know anything about medicine or human anatomy to feel that kind of snapping as one of your joints goes in a direction YOU KNOW it SHOULD NEVER GO & U feel that pain & instantly know "AWWWW CRAAAAP, THAT WAS BAD!!!! I'M NOT 100% SURE WHAT IT WAS BUT IT WAS BAD!!!!" I got hecka lucky though- completely severed my PCL but, the Dr said a completely severed PCL would cause me less grief than a partially severed one... and, since my ACL, meniscus & knee cap were in tact.... I just was supposed to take 8wks off from riding & then I'd be good- at least for the next 10-15, MAYBE 20+ years even?! Its been about 14yrs since i did that & my knee still feels a little wobbly & looser than it should, but, heck. I'm still the ONLY PERSON I've ever known of to suffer a complete tear of her PCL ligament & required zero surgery or even any PT!!! (ANNnnnd.... i was back on my horses again in just about 3 1/2 weeks.... because, come on, NONE OF US EVER REAAAALLLY listen to those sorts of "doctors orders," right!? Right!!!!)

Ella Putigna Same! When I saw him touching her it made me shiver

Unfortunately most systems are set up with white men at the top controlling everything, which protects other men, even abusers. That's why it took 20 years for the 250 abused young woman to finally be heard. I'm telling you, elect some women and people of color into positions of power and watch the world change for the better.

And Nassar's in jail for life but of 250 he only got 7 counts on his record, which is pathetic.

@@easytoslip Oh, please. Not every damn thing in the world is about gender or color. Jesus, people are getting tired of the identity politics in EVERYTHING. STFU already.

@@easytoslip Larry Nassar ain't white.

especially since Gabby has never won a national championships!

All of those girls at the Olympics were hanging on by threads. They all had injuries which were really bad

@@cherrytraveller5915 no fr Makayla was literally in bits she would have definitely completed on floor if she wasn’t injured

Right. She’s never been good at it why keep it in!

But it was her decision to. And it always looked like shit. She’s just so unappealing the look of her on bars with those feet is just 🤮

Ikr, it's so funny

I kind of miss underdog gabby. That way NBC didn't try to make her life a story.

Gabby got attention; she just wasn't hyped up. NBC showed her routines and mentioned her father. There are a bunch of gymnasts who got no air-time.

I know right?

Because I felt like overall she was okay. I always felt like she was a messy gymnast to watch. She never seemed like she was tight or toes pointed.

Thank god he ain't around no more

Seriously as if her injury wasn’t sad enough out comes Larry to turn my stomach sick. Poor Rebecca .

What used to bug me(and still does, tbh), was how shocked everyone was when Jordyn didn’t make the AA finals in London. Never mind the fact that both Gabby and Aly improved as the 2012 season progressed while Jordyn didn’t.

I always wonder what she could've achieved had she not been horribly mismanaged. Clearly she had something special, but poor pacing (and beam choreography) really did her an injustice.

@@claregallivan3863 And hideous bars choreo. Granted it was her worst event; all the more reason to try to make her look good there. JFC!

When it came to the championships, she actually performed worse than Nastia and she still went on to the training camp that year.

This aged poorly

Alyssa Ricks, well, yeah

Get a grip.

Same coach broke Katelyn Ohashi as well

I agree, her pain felt like my own 😩

Kailey Stover - ugh I know. And it’s soo awful and gross seeing him out there attending to Rebecca’s knee.

I did lol

How cute haha

Saria Kokiri m.

That was weird.

No

He pops up in a lot of these old videos. When Alyssa Baumann tweaked her elbow on bars at one of the recent championships (2015 maybe) you see him checking her over. Makes me shudder.

Daisy It happened at 2014

Nassar is a bitch. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

I winced when I heard his name mentioned. Ugh.

@Daphne Marquez no I agree I mean everything abt the guy is creepy and sad

She was magnificent on floor. It's a pity that cunt Martha Karolyi never allowed her to compete AA in big meets.

She didnt cost the gold but she killed the dream

In 2008, she lost it for herself when she fell off the beam.

Give me any amount of actual proof that the Karoly's did anything wrong.... Most gymnasts PARENTS were in the room AS THEIR CHILD WAS ABUSED & they even had no idea yet You expect the Karoly's did & hid it? American Gymnastics would've been nothing without them. They don't deserve people like you trying to take that away...... Mary Lou, Kim Zimeskle, Nadia etc, all took up for them and said the abuse allegations were absurd.... These were people trained by them, not just the ones that came and went & were pissed they didn't get chosen..... The one little girl, Dominique, that was trained by them & said they were abusive, was dumped by the Karoly's though she did great in the Olympics.... She came out with all this bull much later. She was dumped because Bella talked about his pain realizing that she wanted fame far more than a furthering gymnastics career. She refused to practice & put all of her time into her 15mins of fame.... When that fizzled, time had not been kind and no one wanted to work with her. Y es,the Karoly's were strict and hard, but do you really think an Olympic Champion can be build without strict dedication, hard work etc? These kids weren't forced.lol! They wanted it and loved gymnastics. People like you don't know what it takes so you sit back and judge..... It's disgusting that you degrade them with absolutely no substantial proof..... None.

Heather the district attorney for the Karolyis’ district in Texas DECIDED not to pursue criminal charges against them BEFORE all victims came forward. There is reason to believe they knew about the sexual abuse but didn’t do anything about it, and there is legitimate evidence of child abuse and neglect that the gymnasts suffered at the ranch. Stop defending people who allowed abuse

Ugh that makes me so sick and disgusted! I hope they both have rot for what they’ve done! These girls suffered so much and still performed at such high levels under intense pressure. Idk know how they kept it all together! Talk about Champions

Heather the gymnasts said they spoke about it openly in the gym so there’s no way Marta didn’t know. Even the assistant coaches said they overheard the girls talking. The Karoly’s said nothing because their Romanian gymnast culture was grind to the bone and don’t let then rest, and Nassar would give the shortest recovery time for injuries. They were complicit. You don’t need ‘proof’, you believe the girls and coaches. Someone’s word is enough to prosecute when it comes to sexual assault.

@@carys7417 Someone's word is never enough lol. It shouldn't be. Anyone can just make something up. Not in this case obviously but JFC. That type of thinking is scary AF. Hopefully you never get on a jury.

She literally would not change it & often spoke of it..... Valeri can only give her advice and help her.... He couldn't force her. Believe me, he tried. When she did land it, and she did many times, it was beautiful..... she said she just couldn't give up & I understand that.

Heather I can see that. She definitely wanted to take after Carly and seemed pretty stubborn about it. I just wish she were smart enough back then to realize the inconsistency and change it

@@heathermiller76 No, she did NOT land it 'many times'; it was never beautiful or anywhere near Carly Patterson's. It was utter stupidity.

And they made it seem like Beijing was a complete disappointment, when in reality it was almost an overwhelming success. Having gold AND silver on all around, silver on team and all the event finals? Ridiculously dramatic

@@jukihiw Right? And regardless of what NBC keeps saying, USA was not the favorite to win the team gold in 2008. China was. They were on their home turf and they had higher difficulty than the US team, not to mention USA was crippled by injuries. Stop crapping on Alicia Sacramone, she didn't cost them the gold. Silver was the best they could've achieved without some help from the Chinese team.

Relax don't watch the video if you can't handle it no one's making you 😄

…gabby coming back in 2024…

I love how she does little warm up before doing her floor

She just needs to move her face.

She was at 2012 Olympic trials. It was......not good for her.

@@casualdrifter5226 no it certainly wasn't. It seemed like the injury really shattered her confidence. Hopefully she found joy in something after her time in gymnastics was over.

Eeeewww. I was just thinking of how snakey they look and how they’re way too close together. Plus, she never smiles, so with those beady eyes, she just looks evil. Not that she IS evil, but just that she looks like it.

Truly

And here we are in 2019... yipes to that.

Not necessarily. Cheng Fei fell once and Alicia fell twice. They kind of had a chance.

Yo I know, that was so cool😂😂❤️❤️

It's the exact same leo but without the crimson A

Same here; in addition, same with Jordyn Wieber's, Rebecca Bross's, Bridgette Caquatto's, and Chelsie Memmel's Leo. Plus I love/like their hair styles.

Aly going on beam right after has to be so scary . She did the best she could. Everyone was shaken up. These ladies are so mentally tough

So far, so good for them! They are in strong contention for Worlds. Wonder if they'll be able to maintain the momentum for Rio.

I think gabby has a real shot but I'm a little more hesitant with Aly. She hasn't been as strong or consistent as Gabby recently.

+Carlow Doyle then Aly gets silver in the all around at the Olympics

+Alison Watson and silver on floor

I rue the day that the USA allowed you in to our great country. You are a has-been and have only hurt young girls. Shame!

Say what you will, but American gymnasts wouldn't be as dominant as they are today if it hadn't been for the Karoyli's

No lol she got gold In the team final

Another reason she’s a legend 👑👏🏼

No that would suck.
