Her teammates- Svetlana in particular- were bitter over the loss of the team and AA gold. She had a fall in both (even though the team had multiple falls from several athletes) and it was pretty obvious that most were unhappy with her for it. It’s childish to act that way, but not uncommon unfortunately- especially for Russians.
I definitely agree. She should be surrounded with hugs from her teammates and coaches after that performance and what she accomplished through it. She earned a heck of a lot more recognition than she received right after that performance. It didn't look good for her team not to be there for her.
@@oscarburgos7774 I think they were mad that she cost them the team and an AA gold after she took the spot from her teammate. Then she took the spot in the finals from another teammate and won a gold. Then took another gold from the same teammate when they competed together. So it didn't look good that she lost the gold for her team but won two for herself. They must've taken it personally.
@@angelasmith3967 me too. She’s a legend, a great sportsman and leader for generations that came. Her legacy to me is far greater than her vaunted counterpart. I just wish we saw more of her namesake vault in competition today.
WOW!! In my 41 years of being a gymnastics fan, that may be the best women's gymnastics floor routine I've ever seen!! I saw that routine live, but I had forgotten about it after so many years. I can't think of a better floor routine off the top of my head.
@@sahpire75 i think she maybe didnt want support. It was a very hard olympics for her. She got the news that her dad died just before the olympics. Then she screwed up her team final and her all around final. Maybe she just didnt want anyone around because she wanted to let it sink in on her own
@Jenny Unreal what Zamo went through. I was so happy for her because Zamo had gone through so much and then ended up with 2 Olympic gold medals that will last a lifetime.
Maybe they were salty that she cost them the team gold and the AA gold, but she got one for herself on the final. She already had a gold medal and they saw it a her taking another from her team mate. Even though she earned it.
Yep. Maybe there were no one from her team to congratulate her right here but Katya sure has been celebrating Ms Zamalodchikova here for quite a while now!
God! Why should everyone be centered around Khorkhina? Poor Zamo wanted to be hugged and acknowledged and celebrated but she had no one to celebrate with that day :(
I think because Svetlana had given up her competition on vault and gave it to Zamo and Zamo won the gold they think that should have meant Zamo was happy. But then Zamo went out and beat Svetlana for gold with one of the greatest floor performances ever. Simone Biles would have been hugging Zamo that's for sure :)
@@MrCph2200 Well there should have been a do-over since the horse was set too low. Or was that just some russophobia in the year 2000? I mean was the horse ever set too low on the top American lady at Olympics?
@@Kaboomboo Yes Zamo had some tough moments in the team competition and the all-around competition but made up for it with two individual golds but that didn't make up for it with the Russian girls and their coaches. But 22 years later I am sure those two gold medals mean everything to Zamo.
Amazing routine, those first two passes are so powerful and nobody was there to congratulate her, khorkina didn’t even get up, Zamo had to go over and hug her. Very sad.
There might have been a more beautiful woman in the world, but I never saw her. In gymnastics unlike other sports, the prettiest performer is almost always the star of the team. In the NCAA, it's true almost 100% of the time, too...
That day I hated Khorkina. All her efforts erased. She was unsportsman like, unprofessional and arrogant sore looser. Its a competition and your teammate. Its like she asked her before the day that give this to me I am the Russian Queen its my destiny. Dont make it perfect. And she said then earn it. Beat me. That face of sore looser says it all. Plus she was innovator on Uneven Bars years ago but same routine over and over again if it works. Its starting to bore and now shes lacking innovation.
I always enjoyed her bars routine. The rest? Definitely not. Her attitude was what tuned me out to her right from the start. It’s also why I always loved watching ladies like Elena P, Zamo, Ludmilla E., Anastasia G, etc- they were always so courteous and considerate to everyone they competed against, while putting out gorgeous gymnastics. Aliya in particular as time went along became such a gracious sport and great representative for her country.
Spoken like a male chauvinist pig. At least today’s female gymnasts aren’t starved little girls who are judged on their weight rather than ability. Go back to preschool.
You sound like someone who enjoys judging everyone by looks rather than what’s inside. That tends to come from a strong inferiority complex and a sense of self disillusion. Hopefully someday you’ll come around to being a respectful human being, rather than existing as a soulless shell.
I preferred Produnova's floor exercise she was terribly underscored. This was a fine routine but not as precise in the choreography. Just wiggle your arms & butt to rock'n' roll music. Produnova gave a fuller performance. Elena's crisp movements, stunning artistry, powerful, precise tumbling & her red hair made her a striking figure. The judges were swayed by the crowd. The crowd liked the music better. Australians, Canadians & Americans are musically very uncultured.
The only uncultured one here is YOU. Elena had a great exercise and performed it beautifully. She deserved gold. Produnova did well but this was better executed- period.
Zamo was much better than Svetlana but I think Svet was jealous, the worst part in this iconic routine: the russian team support, poor Zamo she did all and the team? her coaches?
@@alazjaw.8968 over the course of her career Svetlana did a great deal of things to justify the “mean girl” perception. She said some absolutely horrid things about others who beat her in competition- especially at the Olympics, and was clearly bitter here for being beaten out for gold… by a far superior routine. Elena also had had a fall in both team and AA competition, which undoubtedly angered the team (though team finals was much more than just her). It’s a complete disgrace to treat a teammate like that.
Katya making us proud since '00
😂😂🙏
Trixie to Katya: you're the only person that has a favourite russian gymnast..
me: THAT'S WRONG! #teamSvetlana
@@olympiad2652 She's not the only one me too.
Katya? Zamo?
Why nobody was there to hug Zamo? What a shame. She looked over the whole arena for someone to share the moment with her.
Her teammates- Svetlana in particular- were bitter over the loss of the team and AA gold. She had a fall in both (even though the team had multiple falls from several athletes) and it was pretty obvious that most were unhappy with her for it. It’s childish to act that way, but not uncommon unfortunately- especially for Russians.
Sveta literally gave up her spot in vault finals for Zamo though@@saragrant9749
So much difficulty! Would still be competitive today 22 years later!!!
Even after more than 20 years it still is both humbling and amazing that Elena used our song "Daddy-O" (1:36) in her gold winning routine.
It's really really sad to see that a stranger from some country had to be the person to pat her on the back. So sad!
getnasty08 I think it’s an Australian coach as he’s sitting next to Lisa Skinner but yeah so sad
I definitely agree. She should be surrounded with hugs from her teammates and coaches after that performance and what she accomplished through it. She earned a heck of a lot more recognition than she received right after that performance. It didn't look good for her team not to be there for her.
@@oscarburgos7774 I remember this scene the first time I watched it...
@@stellacui3349 Really? What was your feeling at that moment? Where were you watching it?

I remember this! She was so looking forward to a hug from someone on her team.
She was, and it was pretty ridiculous that everyone left her hanging, could have cared less about her. Really sad support from her own people.
@@saragrant9749 not to mention, her team leader didn't bother to stand up to celebrate her. I felt so bad for her. 🙏🏾🌹 Atlanta, Georgia.

What about Lavinia Milosovici in 1992?
Have You ever whatch that floor routine in the Olympic games at Floor final?
It was especially nice to see her mail it after the heartbreak in the AA - that was my favorite part.
god that's like, one of the best fx routines i've seen.
Fab 4 zamo, she deserved the gold
They were probably mad at her for flubbing the TF and AA. Very upsetting. Elena didn't deserve that.
Shocking that no one from her team congratulated the girl. Disgusting showing from Khorkina. What the hell.
Typical of her though. When she didn’t get her way she pouted and acted selfish like that. Elena is far more of a legend than she ever could be.
Wow her coach didn't even care about her. Just went over to comfort Khorkina and left Zamo walking around awkwardly.
That was Khorkina’s personal coach.
I know!!! That was so sad! I was mad for her, she deserved to get support
@@sahpire75 i think she maybe didnt want support. It was a very hard olympics for her. She got the news that her dad died just before the olympics. Then she screwed up her team final and her all around final. Maybe she just didnt want anyone around because she wanted to let it sink in on her own

Katya anyone? Just me ? Okay
Yekaterina Petrova Zamolodchikova but your dad just calls me ... Elanaaaaaaa
Is everything fine with her now?
@@stellacui3349 yes i think she's a lot better :)
Lenin in the streets, Dostoyevsky un the sheets 😍
Yep. Maybe there were no one from her team to congratulate her right here but Katya sure has been celebrating Ms Zamalodchikova here for quite a while now!
I was hoping Octavian would’ve shook her hand or something lol! 😭 but this routine was so iconic, more than earned that title that quad
She was always an entertainer!
God! Why should everyone be centered around Khorkhina? Poor Zamo wanted to be hugged and acknowledged and celebrated but she had no one to celebrate with that day :(

Omg Katya looks soo young here!
Helen.
Zamo was soooo much better than Svetlana ever was
You are so right. Other than bars, Svetlana was not all that special.
Beautiful
Amazing routine, those first two passes are so powerful and nobody was there to congratulate her, khorkina didn’t even get up, Zamo had to go over and hug her. Very sad.
Супер! Умница! Красотка!
...и ДОБРАЯ)
One of my favourite floor routines together with kathelyn oashi
“Where is EVERYBODY?”
Sulking is where they were unfortunately.
Waoooo... maravillosa rutina!!!
Espectacular 😯👍🏻👍🏻💖
Right? What a way to finish her Olympic Games.
Прошло 23 года. Супер
Zamo es una diosañ
Very good 😮
Maravillosa ❤❤❤❤❤
katya before drag race:
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Drag race??
But your dad calls me Katya
That's a rush not a herpes sore 🤣
Khorkina is so ridiculous that looks funny 🤣🤣
Khorkina rainha kkkkk
Russian beauty !! Just outstanding how she rocked everyone.
Russian beauty from her, Russian selfishness from her teammate.
Nice!
It was really nice of Svetlana to give up her spot to Yelena
On vault. Here she acted like a spoiled brat because this routine took gold over her far less deserving one.
There might have been a more beautiful woman in the world, but I never saw her. In gymnastics unlike other sports, the prettiest performer is almost always the star of the team. In the NCAA, it's true almost 100% of the time, too...
That was so poor from Khorkina

Best Olympic floor routine. I appreciate a gymnast with beautiful lines and not looking like a man with huge thighs and linebacker shoulder
It’s about their talent not whether or not you think they’re attractive stfu plz
@@abri7606 well let’s be frank no one pays attention to the male gymnasts haha
I think Anna Pavlova in 2008 might be just a bit better

I thought she stepped out of the bound
She stayed just inside. It was really close but not a deduction.

Lol these judges are 🤡clown's 🤡 This should have been a 10
I just gonna leave that here:
if there's nobody to hug her, but everyone is going to hug Svetlana... that's because there's a reason.
But the that reason could be based on pettiness and envy and mean girl behaviour
she didn’t do anything.
