2004 Gymnastics All Around (Full Length, Different Version)

[@vc23]

Really enjoyed the commentary, Shannon Miller is very fair

[@Constantin9va]

Plus she doesn’t need to point out the obviously “just a leeeeetle hop/step on the landing” like every other freaking commentator out there. I hate that! Gets my goat!

[@Cmc995]

I agree i adore her. I wish she’d do more commentating today

[@KC-fi2or]

Yeah, I agree. She's doesn't seem overzealous when critiquing, and actually seems like she wants gynmasts to do good. I feel like a lot of them want them to mess up.

[@SandyKH]

Shannon is always a good, neutral commentator. However, the guy with her, doesn't know his beam from his bars and messed those up on a regular basis. Shannon just let it go though, and didn't draw attention to it, as many would. I like that she trusts the sport to judge fairly.

[@SociallyDistantnow]

There were some excellent beam workers at this Olympics. I love the variety of skills on all the apparatuses. It feels like all of these routines are much more unique than the routines we see these days. Everyone does the same skills now.

[@Bronwe]

I agree. Again due to the Code of Points and the FIGs dead set on making it even that much harder for the gymnasts what we get is what we get.

So glad they've changed the scoring system. These numbers are so close it's crazy.

[@soledadferrer1325]

@Nunovurbznzsodontask the problem with a d score unlimited is the risk on athletes and, since there are no compulsories, the dreadful techniques, awful execution you see today. Just compare the qualities of vaults, and simple skills like full spins on beam and back handsprings with those in the 90s.

Carly Patterson won fair and square, but I might argue that Anna Pavlova deserved the silver medal more than Khorkina. Khorkina was extremely sloppy on all apparatus (except bars), barely stuck any landings and rushed to salute or danced out of her tumblings /dismounts to cover up the wobbles , and her leaps and spins were nowhere near perfect, had wobbles after wobbles on beam … but they talked about the remedy for 2000..

Poor Ana Pavlova. She was poised to win the Bronze here. That error at the vault sealed her doom. It was really a stupid mistake. Or was she already thinking or excited to know she was winning an Olympic medal. Really a sad mistake.

[@AveryWeinstein]

I’ve felt this same way as I was on the end of the diving board diving for the State Diving qualification against 3 others. I knew I had it in the bag and felt kind of cocky as I had a smile on my face before even doing my last dive. I still made it to State, but State was a whole different ball game. So much talent!! I was just glad to have made it and not place last.

[@saragrant9749]

The single biggest stopping block for her honestly was bars- here and In Beijing. Unfortunately you have to be strong in all four events to medal in the AA at the Olympics. I think if she had been, even with the vault she would have gotten bronze.

[@somethingelse9176]

Khorkina had an impressive career but I just don't see it - her execution is always all over the place, legs never together, etc.

You would be spot on correct- especially at the Olympics. It’s why she never won the Olympic AA gold.

@@josephqualtier961 You're right. My bad, however, I would argue she also didn't always finish it before she passed through horizontal either. I know technically there is no further deduction specifically for that, but there is a huge difference in quality of a routine as a whole when someone is 20-30* past where everyone else's pirouettes finish. I would argue that something like the deductions for lack of swingful execution, insufficient dynamics, incorrect body alignment, or lack of rhythm could also apply. Seriously, it's like putting Onodi's release skills up against every other top competitor and calling it all equal.

Til the 1960s or so, women used the same apparatus as is known as pbars (parallel bars) for men, just set at different heights.... eventually as the uneven bars distance grew, they were manufactured differently. Calling them uneven parallel bars is just as correct as uneven bars, or just bars for short.

"She wants to know exactly what is needed." One of two of the most ridiculous remarks a commentator could ever make. That would give one the impression that, rather than the competitor doing the best that she can in difficulty and quality to assure a victory, she can "adjust" the quantity of her skills so she wouldn't have to make as much of an effort to win. It also assumes that the competitor knows without any doubt whatsoever that she WILL NOT make a single, solitary mistake should she downgrade the difficulty factor of her routine. The other of the ridiculous marks, common to Tim Daggett, is, "She just can't do better than that," relegating the competitor to having reached the top level of her performance and is incapable of doing more or better.

It’s been proven- and a known fact- for years that it was that way. Also, when an athlete or country is not allowed to compete because of rules violations the same should hold true- the competition should not be considered and the winner dismissed.

Carly is an Olympic AA champion, a member of the most exclusive club in the sport itself. Svetlana is NOT. And I prefer gymnasts who can HIT clean routines consistently. Dance is individual, unique and interpretive for each gymnast. Your gymnasts may be graceful, but can’t hit consistently clean routines for the life of them.

[@gaelgarciabernal2434]

I think Anna Pavlova and Daniela Sofronie should have medaled. They both performed with poise and easy, fluid movements. They had the best choreographed routines. The scoring was very questionable. Carly Patterson's 9.7 range scores on beam and floor were too high. Her dismount on beam was spectacular but the routine in its entirety felt choppy. On floor, her dance was laughable and she took a step on practically every tumbling run. Svetlana Khorkina was stellar on vault and sophisticated on floor, but over scored on bars. Her beam and floor scores were adequate but warranted more in view of the ludicrously high scores given to Patterson.

[@thecatspajamas8918]

Gael Garcia Bernal I agree with your comment about Carly’s dance on floor. It’s so wooden and expressionless.

[@Jordan-gg6sz]

Don’t understand how you think Carly’s beam was ‘choppy’ ? It was really well executed, fluid and the score was well deserved. Her vault was a bit meh but she hit her bars as she needed to. While her floor might seem robotic, a lot of people are the same. The tumbling was outstanding and the score was well deserved also. She had the meet of her life. If I were questioning anyone’s placing it would be Khorkina. Her vault was messy (her legs..) her bars was meh, her beam was extremely lacklustre and had many faults but her floor was well executed and had a 9.9 SV.

[@kejonza]

I agree with Anna Pavola over Zhang Nan, but Carly’s scores were fair compared to Svetlana’s. Carly did not wobble once in her beam routine and my god, that dismount. And her dancing in floor is honestly really consistent with the jazz dancing of the time. Just because it was jazz and not ballet/lyrical doesn’t mean it wasn’t 1. Executed well and 2. Idiomatic with the music. Say what you want about Carly, but she really had the beam of her life and good consistency everywhere else.

Not like the dumb, arrogant noodnicks from Britain and ours from the States who perpetually butcher names with no regard for those who participate. If you listen to East European commentators, NOT ONE of them effs up the pronunciations of Western names. They take the time to learn the pronunciations before the competitions as a show of their intelligence and respect for the competitors!!! For example, if you listen to Christine Still from Britain, the announcer in the arena likely pronounces Mustafina's name properly in whatever venue she competes, but Still constantly effs it up. Her name is properly pronounced MusTAHfeena, with the accent on the second syllable. Still can't seem to get that through her fat head no matter how many times she hears it pronounced correctly and continues to say MustaFEEna with the accent on the 3rd syllable. Dimwit. Same with Daggett and Trautweg from NBC, that is until Nastia started to work with them. Now Daggett is correct half the time. Same with Khorkina's family name. She appeared once on camera and made it a point to mention how her name is pronounced. I saw how she sternly corrected everyone, and I didn't blame her. And commentators still butcher it. Frankly that kind of disrespect, laziness, arrogance and blatant stupidity doesn't speak much about the intelligence of Western commentators, or people who criticize others for making it a point to be correct.

@@tacksscherbo7771 Thanks for your novel. I wasn't talking about pronunciation. I was talking about trilling Rs for no reason. LOL. Stay mad. Fuck the patriarchy.

It sounds more like you have a problem with yourself and have to complain about others to bring yourself up. Nice try but an epic failure.

[@gaelgarciabernal2434]

Elena Gomez from Spain had a superb beam routine (grant it, it wasn't perfect) but received an extremely low 9.187. Ridiculous, inept judging throughout the event. Too many scoring inconsistencies. I really don't think Carly Patterson deserved to win. I'm convinced the champion should have been Anna Pavlova. Silver to Daniela Sofronie and bronze a toss up between one of the 3 that made the podium (leaning towards Zhang Nan).

[@pakopaez]

her switch half wasnt counted

[@saragrant9749]

It’s easy to demean the judges- people who trained for decades and have worked thousands of gymnastics competitions to be able to be considered for the Olympics- when you’ve never accomplished a single memorable thing in your entire life. The reason her score was what is was had to do with at least one element- poorly executed- not being credited and thus lowering her start value. After her vault Carly performed absolutely brilliantly and had a 10 start value on all other events, something Anna did not have (her bars were substantially too weak). I suggest you go and judge a few gymnastics competitions yourself before making yourself look the fool you clearly are.

@@saragrant9749 Sara! Specify how I am unwilling to see reality. And cite where I complained about scores. *Your* ilk (sanctimonious, condescending, and knows everything about everyone from a brief comment) is the problem in most of the threads I've seen you in. Your preachiness and wild assumptions are much worse than most of the things you're complaining about and insulting people over. Did someone in the world ask you to police youtube comments? Yeah I didn't think so.

Sinceramente si los juegos olimpicos fueran honestos hubiese sido así: 1- Svetlana Khorkina 2- Carly Patterson 3- Anna Pavlova 4- Daniela Sofronie 5- Nan Zhang Anna Pavlova tuvo una participación perfecta por otro lado Khorkina tuvo mejor actuación en AA que en Sydney 2000. La viga de patterson fue aburrida y obsoleta lo único mejor fue su salida no entiendo como gano plata en la final cuando esa medalla pertenecía a Pavlova.💔 Que coraje y rabia ver llorar a Pavlova y Khorkina lo había dicho que el oro estaba predestinado a patterson 😠

[@eurekamreum5458]

Yo también estoy de acuerdo con que Pavlova merecía el bronce, pero cómo puedes poner a Khorkina en primer lugar con esa viga espantosa que tuvo jaja Patterson se mantuvo sólida en los cuatro ejercicios y mereció el triunfo.

[@saragrant9749]

Svetlana should not have medaled AT ALL. Every routine had issues, especially her beam which was a laughable mess. Carly was absolutely brilliant on every event after her vault and absolutely EARNED her gold. You people always think only Russians deserve gold and such arrogant and selfish thinking.

[@Спасительмира-ж3х]

Я с вами абсолютно согласна.Русские очень высокомерные.Они считают себя самой превосходной расой.И так в любом виде спорта где у России хороший советский опыт.И не только в спорте и в обычной жизни тоже.😢

[@Marketoromagnolo]

poor Korkina shge deserved gold

[@saragrant9749]

Oh sure, with a messy as heck beam set, a sloppy floor routine, a bars set that was far from her best and a vault that was certainly not her best. Please, she was lucky to even medal.

KHORKINA GOLD MEDAL

[@saragrant9749]

Khorkina FOURTH PLACE. She did not even deserve a medal at all with her sloppy, messy performance.

[@DanielReid88]

Carly did outperform Svetlana, but I believe Svetlana would have gotten AA Gold in Sydney 2000 had the vault debacle not happened. This was fun to watch again.

[@kerridrury4240]

I thought it should have gone to Svetlana Khorkina.

[@eurekamreum5458]

Oh hell naw. I wasn't a fan of Patterson but she really earned her gold medal.

[@2134knees]

I,say No way. Carly deserved it. Svetlana just didn't draw me to her. Not a Svetlana fan. She seemed boring to me.

[@saragrant9749]

Svetlana was sloppy throughout that whole competition and shouldn’t have medaled at all.

[@fernandoperez4000]

Khorkina es la verdadera ganadora de la medalla de ORO

[@Pastyovercoat]

Inaccurate 🤡. She’s a three time loser in the Olympic all around 🙃

[@saragrant9749]

Oh please, she was lucky to even get silver. She should have finished fourth. Her vault was messy, her bars weren’t her best, beam was a hot mess and floor was sloppy. Carly rightfully earned the gold by performing flawless routines after her error on vault. Get a grip.
