Dominique Dawes - Balance Beam - 1996 U.S Gymnastics Championships - Women

[@JamesFrew1]

That double turn! Such a great routine minus the dismount.

[@bojohns77]

If the current system of scoring existed then, she would have been as dominate as Simone. Probably not when it comes to having named skills, but she had so much difficulty she wasn't putting in routines because she was already beyond maxed out it's insane.

Her and Shannon Miller were beam queens

[@Hervinbalfour]

Just think. Under the most recent scoring system Dominque Dawes and Amy Chow would have been dominant and bigger names. Their routines were ahead of the times in terms of difficulty.

Damn that dismount is soooooo powerful she is taller than simone and still has the powerful

[@bojohns77]

15 years later, and it took a Simone to do this dismount again. So much difficulty!

Love you Dominique💕👍😍

[@Gessylord]

so gracious

[@dydydufjfjfuf4500]

Awesome Dawesome !!

[@Nike5221]

Is it me or when Dominique wore dark colored leotards, it made her form look better? I know she has bow legs, but her toe point and leg extensions look a lot straighter

[@ivanterrones614]

How do you call that dismount???

[@brainwave7632]

Full twisting tucked double back

[@JamesFrew1]

Brainwave 76 they call it a full in now. But you’re still correct.

[@captainbryce1]

Same dismount Simone Biles does now.

[@ninanickel3103]

You do realize Simone has done the same things but hasn’t been deducted? They were so much cleaner back then. For the most part this routine was beautiful! Undeniably
