1995 McDonald's American Cup - Full Broadcast

[@coreyanderson1457]

Oh my goodness! I appreciate this because I actually taped this when I was like 11 years old, and watching it now in 2019 is like, crazy. I waited two weeks to record it on VHS. And I remember it now like it was yesterday it's so weird but cool..

[@MissLilRedRooster]

"..The international coaches are afraid to send their big stars to the United States.. They can't afford for their big stars to lose in the United States". Girl, no. The American Cup has never been a huge international draw because it's always heavily over scored its own athletes unfairly. They're not afraid, it's just never been worth their effort.

[@saragrant9749]

Ironically over in Europe all the countries are notorious for THE EXACT SAME THING!! Hypocrites.

[@MzKaylcC]

The Romania 🇷🇴 girl floor routine was flawless wow

[@victoriaparkinson3720]

So Amanda Borden is nearly 18 and therefore “just trying to hold on” whereas Shanon Miller is the same age and she has no such comment said about her. Shows how much they know as Borden was part of the Magnificent 7 and team captain

[@mht4908]

I think it’s because Amanda wasn’t as dominant as Shannon and she had to fight for one of the last spots in the Olympic team, whereas Shannon just had to show up, do what she’s capable of and a spot is pretty much a guarantee

[@Cmc995]

Ana Maria’s floor was more impressive than Kristy! But I guess scored lower because less expressive

[@mht4908]

Bican was so good, she should've won in my opinion. Even in today's standards, it's so rare to see stuck landings on every single pass, should've been a 9.850 at least. Kristy's floor should've been no more than a 9.750. It's too bad the Romanian coaches decided to remove her name from the 1996 Olympic team, she could've still gotten an Olympic medal because I think by the time she got hurt it was too late to call in the alternate

[@saragrant9749]

It really was a shame. I was really impressed with that Romanian team in the team finals though- all that adversity and they still managed to get the bronze! Resilience at its finest.

[@matthewpargeter-villarreal3538]

I’m impressed with Dan Hicks pronunciation of the gymnasts’ names

[@kras118]

I really like Dolgopolova's lines on her skills

[@shaythirkell]

She has a fall off beam and they ask her if this is the end??

[@Brenttyboy]

they were always so rude to Shannon

[@l.a.smittie7412]

I wish you would post the prelims from this meet! I'd also love it if you could post the 1995 American Classics meet! You guys were doing great posting rare and old videos but stopped! What gives? Again please post prelims of American Cup 1995 and 1999, also 1995 American Classic, please!

[@Cmc995]

18:52 yaaaas Shannon, say it!

[@kaylajones4356]

I think when the guy said "Expert analysts" describingg Tim Dagget and Elfi Shlagel, he was confused.

[@bewitchers]

Eileen Diaz (PR)- 5:55, 46:15 Ana Maria Bican- 10:20, 34:15, 52:10 Kristy Powell- 13:50, 38:40, 51:50, 55:45 and mom Laurie- 1:17:15 Elena Dogopolova- 20:00, 1:06:50 Adrennie Nyeste, (HUN)- 24:10, 1:11:45 Amanda Borden- 29:30, 48:30 Monica Martin (ESP)-1:00:35

[@kristenras2040]

gotta love Nyeste's little 'tail twirl' before the second pass!

[@DizzyedUpGirl]

I'm just watching for the fluff.

[@susanmebrigham2104]

I think Anna Maria Bican should've won. But unfortunately was scored too low.

[@Deansters83]

Kristi powell was over scored. Look at her floor. Deductions on first pass (Big time) and also on dance… including her triple* turn attempt. She's talented… but should not have won. It's very sad the the American's always get over scored in America. This is coming form a Chicago native.

[@kaylajones4356]

Its an American event what did you think would happen?????

[@amybrown7723]

Dino Michalopoulos Trust me, America's not the only country it happens in. Did you watch the Beijing Olympics Women's All Around? The Chinese gymnasts were way over scored.

[@sandylenzo5525]

They still finished in the exact positions they deserved though. 3rd for Yilin and something like 5th for the other girl. Whereas in the American Cup often the U.S gymnasts finish in a better difference than they deserve.

[@saragrant9749]

Much like all international gymnastics events were overscored for the Soviets and Romanians before the end of the 10 scoring era. No one seems to have minded that of course.

[@andreredman8217]

Can't believe the American girl won,Short on her opening tumble steps on all the others and also fell out of her double spin,what a joke.

[@amymarie8169]

Can you upload the full broadcast of the 1996 American cup

[@orlandomartinez3246]

OMG! Commentator says: "Eileen Diaz, from Puerto Rico, lives in Houston, TX has dual citizenship! REALLY????

[@joiedierenfield3749]

I believe she did

[@kras118]

Joie Dierenfield Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens - no ‘dual’ citizenship needed

[@trodairebeag]

Actually, Puerto Rico Is A US territory, NOT a state, so dial citizenship is possible. Get your facts straight!!

[@matthewpargeter-villarreal3538]

BECAUSE Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, they are considered native born U.S. citizens

[@susandilaudo9534]

"No goodbye from me til i go collect 2 gold medals in atlanta, tyvm and adios." Cringey 90s interviews.

[@chitownlokito]

Tha was Ana Bican gold but again it was in the 🇺🇸 so… always giving privilege to its own gymnast. Even the commentators are nice to them 😂

[@saragrant9749]

The European competitions did the exact same thing to their own athletes too.

[@Brenttyboy]

SCAM CUP

[@jadeyoung7424]

Scamerican Cup***

[@saragrant9749]

Same as the European cups. They do the exact same thing.
