I remember watching this when it happened and thinking to myself "Oooh! He tried to get at Tasha Schwikert!", but thought that there was probably another reason why she blatantly refused to hug him. The look in her eyes says it all (Don't even THINK about it). With everything that has been revealed over the last 2+ years, there is no doubt in my mind that not only did Steve Penny know what was going on, but he likely was a perpetrator too. So sad 😢
Thank God we got to see Elise, Jamie, Kristin, and Tasha have amazing collegiate careers!! And Amy and Dominique had 96, as well as amazing success since in their lives. We love you girls!!
Watching Steve Penny kissing Jamie gave me chills. This guy protected abusers like Larry Nassar and other abusive coaches thus failed his duty as president of USAG.
It's great that they were recognized and received these medals! It's bittersweet... just like any time medals and placements change after the fact. The glory of the moment is what makes the Olympics so special and though this US team can never get that back, it's wonderful that they got their bronze medals! And I just want to say... they all look great!
I cry every time I watch this. This is my favorite USA gymnastics team ever because of how tough they were and how they overcame so much and so many injuries during the Sydney games and finished together as a team. Elise Ray is my favorite gymnast of all time and I am so happy for her receiving her medal after the vault fiasco during the All Around affecting her subsequent routines so much. I am just so glad that something good could come out of all the bad in Sydney for all of these ladies.
I wish they had waited to present these in London 2012 and had both the Russian and Romanian teams there as well. It would have felt more official and been done at and Olympics. I feel it would have come alot closer to the real thing. This was still great though and I'm so happy for them.
Tasha rejecting Steve penny is what I love to see.
Amy Chow is wow. A Pediatrician and a concert pianist. She is probably the most multi-tasking gymnast of all time.
Any Chow is even more iconic because she is a pediatrician!!
Tasha is gorgeous and talented, she handled Steve like a boss . Class act all the way 🇺🇸❤️
This breaks my heart. This should have been done at the next Olympics in front of a big crowd. The seats here are only half filled.
Dominique Dawes looks fabulous!
TASHA!!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Now I know why Tasha declined a kiss on the cheek from Steve... Tasha knew what he was all about

I have always loved Dawes and thought she was underrated. She was awesome in every way!

Oooooooo that look she gave steve!! Damn that was 🔥 and I love to see it! Proud of you Tasha and all the other amazing athletes!
Dominique Dawes won three Olympic team medals. No one will ever come close to that again.

I wasnt expecting them to hold a ceremony, for some reason i pictured the medal winners just getting the medals in the mail one day lmfao
