Back then they did and I know what you mean I love Shannon , but they use to go hard on Dominique, if she makes the slightest fumble she gets a big deduction.

And you know this.

Simply Put

8/22/19, Biles era, and I'm still thrilled. "Dominique" is the perfect name... She dominates!! She looks so tall & mighty in her routines, and when she runs to her coach we see how small she is. She still dominates. 💛

Very true, but I try not to compare the gymnastics of old to the gymnasts today. Different era Different rules. In the past it was more about artistry, flexible, gratefulness, and agility. Today it's more about power, strength, dominance and showmanship. This is even viewed in the body types of today compared to back then. They were more slender back then. Today they're just muscular. Even in just 10 years their bodies changed. I mean look Gabby Douglas compared to Simone Biles. She's more slender, but look at Nastia Lukin compared to Gabby, even more slender. Then look at Dominique compared to Nastia, even more. So as each decade passes so does what gymnastics used to look like. Which in a way is sad.

They always underscored her

Not anymore. Biles’ double twisting double tuck is by far the most difficult dismount and probably won’t be attempted by another gymnast anytime soon.

​@@kristinp.8951 From 0.32 to 0.37. I would say that's more difficult than what Biles does.

@@tashaphillips-wilson9175Biles is all power, no artistry. Hate those stupid wolf turns.

Definitely agree! What score would you give it? At Worlds, this routine was scored out of 9.9 in event finals, so even if that was the case, I still think this should have gone 9.7+

kras118 Definitely a 9.90.

LilPetit Such a trash score. Dominique was so well respected among her peers but sometimes the judges wouldn’t give her due back then, even though she was gaining the same level of respect internationally. No way to justify that score.

Remember this was the year she should've won gold on beam at worlds , but judging was very corrupt back then so basically shannon was pushed to the top alot after 92 not saying shannon didn't deserve all she earned, but there was always some scores that caused even commentators back then to question, that big reason why the scoring system was changed. After that crappy judging in Athens.

@@TheTimo5494 Olympics in Atlanta, Dominique got robbed... I don't like to draw the OBVIOUS race dots, but wtaf. Team USA had such deep talent. No reason to rob like that.

They did her dirty back then

Today’s gymnastics IS artistic, it’s just different from what was done back then. It’s unnecessary to demean the athletes of today just because you prefer to live in the past.
