She should have been a World and Olympic Champion on beam. Yes, she fell off of beam during Team Compulsories in 1996 but to win just a bronze medal at 1997 Worlds is a travesty. Totally robbed. Gina Gogean's beam set was a boring joke. She shouldn't have even made beam finals with that stock routine of hers.
One of the greatest beam workers of all time.
Pretty watered down for her standards, but still perfectly competitive back in 2000, and even today this routine would be competitive.
She was still recovering from her knee injury which kept her out of the 99 Worlds in Tianjin.
