    Oh gosh people, in 96 she was fourteen freaking years old! How many of you looked at age 18 the same way you did at age 14? She's fat in this? She looks like a perfectly healthy woman! Everyone knows training as hard as gymnasts do delays puberty a bit and then when you stop, you develop curves. For example, Nastia Liukin. And I wouldn't say Nastia looks fat, I'd say she looks great, she looks like a 20 something woman ought to look.

    • @monicaalva2423
      @monicaalva2423 6 років тому +9

      I agree that nobody looks the same way at 18 compared to 14, but in her case her body changed so much that it decreased her chances of continuing in gymnastics. She is not fat at all, but gymnasts are required to have a slim, lean body to be able to perform well. And she does look heavy (for a gymnast). I really admire Dominique, for coming out and defending herself against her abusers and parents, and really happy to see she moved on with her life. Unfortunately growing up, like what we see in this video, did not favor her career in gymnastics.
      I stil love watching her during Atlanta. She was so cute!

      Mary Lee had that reputation for years of being this upbeat and supportive coach but the ongoing scandal with Nassar definitely pulled back that facade. She supported Nassar after the allegations of sexual abuse surfaced and lots of gymnasts rightfully raked her over the coals for that. Then USA gymnastics appointed her to a top post and she continued to act like she’d been bullied or victimized when people said someone like her had no business leading anything in the sport. It’s a whole mess. USA Gymnastics is as deeply diseased an organization as you can imagine

    Of course she was bigger in 2000 than she was in 1996! She wasn’t 14 anymore. She grew up! In 96 she was 4’6” 55lbs. Kerri Strug was 4’8” & very light at 19. Now I was in love with her in 96 when I was 11, I was 5’3” 130lbs. I remember watching this when I was 15, I was 6’0” 200lbs at 15 & they said that stuff about her I thought it was disgusting. When I was 16 I was 6’2” 220lbs. I’m 35 now & 6’2” 235lbs. So it just pisses me off to hear such BS from these announcers. This woman had to struggle at a very young age & we know Bella & Martha didn’t make it any easier on her.
    Bella & Martha had it out for her after 96 & ruined her chances. Thank you to Dominique for all the great performances & you were so elegant & beautiful when competing. If I ever seen these announcers I would deck them for being pricks. The truth has come out now about the dark side of gymnastics. Horrible you young ladies had nobody to go too.

If she had had a stable coach, things would have been so different. Either Bela or Luminita. Judging her performances at the 1996 games-she was just way too young-and after 1996, she just didn't get a fair shake.

    I feel bad for her, the coaches were clueless. There was no need to do Triple Twist in that code, you didn't even need to do any real landings, it was incredibly easy to build up all the necessary points with connected shushunova-type jumps where you just fall forward onto the floor. You could get 10.0 start value with a routine containing only these 3 series:
    whip + 2.5 Twist + straddle jump to prone
    Front Tuck through to 2.0 Twist + straddle jump 1/1 to prone
    Switch Leap + Switch Leap 1/4 + tuck jump 2/1 to prone
    That's it! Hilariously easy.

    There is a reason why they are so young when they compete in the Olympics etc... Their bodies are still children's bodies. When their bodies become women they are not considered. Personally I think if your body looks like a child then you should have a separate games for them. This is suppose to be WOMENS gymnastics. Same thing happens in ballet. Young promising dancer and then puberty hits and all the curves come out and for some that is it.

      Ballet is a visual art form based in long lines and a very specific aesthetic. Ballerinas are meant to be ethereal, seeming to be light as air when they move. Large, round bodies don't have the long lines, nor are they able to embody the sylph-like lightness. That's the art form. There are other forms of dance for bodies which don't conform to thag standard. You don't see skinny, short NBA stars either, lol. We can't all do everything.

    me he fijado q las gimnastas de niñas hcen sus rutinas limpias y perfectas ejemplo nadia Comaneci y dominique y y de adolescentes como q se sienten más pesadas o algo la distrae que se caen o algo q antes no les fallaba les empieza fallar

    I doubt she got credit for that triple full. She was not complete and she cannot repeat a skill for value I thought. So she would have had 2 2.5 twists and they would not taken away her mount due to connection bonus.

    She gives that smile pause in her dance to bela there in the corner then he turns his back. Like ehh your not impressing me kid. Overweight really, her face is rounder, the coaches yeh can be too harsh just sad that it no one listened to the gymnasts till it got to that point.

    With the new age restrictions, she almost certainly would have never gotten to go to a single Olympics. What girls are not getting a chance now? How would they train differently if they knew they could go at 14? (or whatever it was before)

      I respectfully disagree. You have a valid point and even Comaneci's perfect ten wouldn't have happened either. But this may lead to more longevity of the athletes as they'll compete with a more mature body instead of seizing that peak between 14 and 15.

    find it interesting that her and Marinescu were the 2 gymnast that had crazy crazy hype in 96 and were supposed to be the faces of gymnastics heading into the new millennium; both were long washed out of the sport by the time we go there.

    • @grantgoffin4774
      @grantgoffin4774 3 роки тому +1

      They were both overhyped. Marinescu had nice style and form on some events, but her bars was a bit sloppy like all Romanians, her vaulting was pretty weak, and she lacked power and mental toughness in general. Moceanu was never particularly special in anyway gymnastics wise, as much I feel for her, for all she dealt with in the sport.

  • @ajimenez1719ify
    @ajimenez1719ify 10 років тому +13

    The reason the score was so low is bc she didnt get credit for her last pass at all. It was like she didnt even have a last pass bc she didnt make the triple all the way around. Lost all bonus as well as credit for a d dismount which is a technical requirement. I have NEVER been a fan of moceanu bc her gymnastics is what we call "cookie cutter" gymnastics. ......its very stock.

    • @karenKristal
      @karenKristal 9 років тому

      can you explain the score to me? if she didn't get credit for a triple does she get credit for a two and a half? what are the penalties? thanks

    • @ajimenez1719ify
      @ajimenez1719ify 9 років тому

      Im going to correct myself...yes she may have gotten credit for a 2 1/2 on the last pass, but, she was going for the triple and that is very apparent. So, my guess is, she wouldve been deducted for stumbling out of it, bc thats pretty much what it amounts to, and also wouldve been given a few technical deductions for why she even made the errors in the first place. The score was alot lower than some of the others in this particular competition bc her difficulty was lower than most. This was in the few years before they started doing to d score and execution score added together, so, its a little easier for me to explain this type of scoring. I was actually an elite gymnast myself, back in 1997, so, I dont really completely understand the new scoring system but, THIS type of scoring is what im used to. (Yes, I am old, lol) :)

    • @ajimenez1719ify
      @ajimenez1719ify 9 років тому

      karenKristal her total deduction on that last pass alone would be anywhere from .5 to .8 depending on how harsh they wanted to be. I would have to say that, she probably wouldve gotten a little higher score if she would've had a fall, without all the technical deductions. Then, a fall was only .5 deduction. (Sorry, I forgot to this in my first reply)

      This is the most insane comment I have seen - you must have not been a professional gymnast or just have no clue what you are saying. Dominique was never the same after 96 but from the start of her career until about 98 she was and will always be one of the most amazing gymnasts of all times. Skill set plus the. Way she worked a crowd is to this day like no other: I did not personally enjoy this routine however you can never take credit from this perfect girl

    • @mht4908
      @mht4908 4 роки тому

      @@ajimenez1719ify I think because she did the a 2 1/2 to punch layout on her first pass, and they counted her failed triple as another 2 1/2, which would've been a repeated element, so it was equivalent to her only doing 2 tumbling passes
