I sobbed when I first saw this. Khorkina was on the edge of losing it. The vault was a complete fiasco. I'm glad no one died.

Gawd, I HATE Elfie and Tim. "That's it, no medal." like she's a disgruntled parent telling her child that she misbehaved and is getting a timeout.

That was horrible and that is probably why she reacted after 04 about the 'robbed' I think it was more of 00 and 04 combined that she was 'robbed.' I miss her and I miss Gymnastics. We never see anything anymore but I retired when she did.

i agree. it was a mistake that shouldnt have been made in such an important sporting event.

"...I'd like to say that Raducan won it, but with the vault controversy and its direct/indirect effects no one'll ever know." That's it--I think Raducan is a fine gymnast & yes, she was obviously treated horribly with the cold medicine fiasco, but I don't feel any worse for her than for any of the other AA candidates. ALL of them were completely scr*wed over, and ALL the results, not just those for the vault, should've been completely scrapped, with a whole new do-over. What a mess.

@fr3ckles yes i agree. khorkina was so much taller than the other gymnasts. the vault being to low makes a big difference in her performance especially.

The coaches were trying so hard to give their athletes advice on how to make their vaults better, and then later they find out the horse was set at the wrong height, what a shame on people in charge of that.

i love yangs smile when she salutes the judge :)

No, I'm talking about how things have changed....LAST year, the AA champion won with a fall on beam.

that's funny to think about, because Svetlana won Europeans with almost the same vault average with 9.7's and 9.8 across the board...however, she also fell on bars here...

It was so messed up...In the 1st rotation they comment that Raducan was high on the horse too. It's surprising there weren't more falls.

Ray's 7 was because she repeated the vault. Khorkina got all the flips and twists in.

6:10 she flings herself up to the high bar! great routine

Svetlana didn't land on her feet...that was why she got a 9.025...if she would have landed on her feet then touched down or collapse (or whatever) the score would have been 3-4 tenths higher

Is the music during the replay of Sveta's vault from the Mummy?

Poor Poor Sveta. She never won. First Andreea then Carly. She just didn't cut it.

does anybody know what svetlana khorkina says at the beggining?

well at least nobody died

its so drepessing for me to watch this...:(

I Love Viktoria Karpenko...!

I do believe she is 5'5

game over svetlana:) and yang yung

"No one wins the all around gold with a fall..." Ah....how much gym has changed...
