I swear Sydney was the worst for gymnastics. I feel so bad for all the girls. They worked their whole life and the experience had to be so disappointing.

Exactly, and it was all over the place. They gave another opportunity on the vault in the aa but it was too late for the girls who had already lost their concentration and faltered on other events. There were 2 medals stripped, one from China that they didn't notice until 10 years later, and Andreea was wrongly stripped of her aa gold. Honestly it was a mess and for the people that worked so hard to get there and most probably wouldn't make the next team because gymnastics careers are so short lived, it was totaly unfair.

I believe she struggled quite a bit with injuries. In 2001 she switched from WOGA, then switched again in 2002. She then went to Georgia, but was only able to compete for a season then retired because of a back injury.

I still don't understand why Huang Mandan didn't do three giants before the dismount instead of two. She was never able to get enough rotation by using only two giants before her full twisting double back tuck

I'm not sure but in the new code, they are only allowed to consecutive giants. 3 would be a deduction. It's likely to have been the same in the past.

I feel like the judges were so strict with the Romanians on vaulting than they were with the Americans and Chinese. Sabina's first vault was low on the chest, but I don't get how almost a full point was taken away from that? She didn't fall, and the step wasn't huge. Alexandra Barac's second vault was obvious better, but was given a lower score than her fist? In contrast, Peng Sha took a huge step off the mat, the landing was much less controlled than the Romanians yet the judges took less deductions on her vault

Per competition reports from the time, Cojocar touched the mat with her hand on the first vault. While we don't have a clear view of her right hand, this makes sense given that: 1) Cojocar's hand appears to rebound into the air immediately following the landing and 2) her second vault looked very similar but scored a 9.375.

Team USA shouldn't have left Shannon Miller off of the Olympic team in 2000. Had she been there they would've won team bronze, maybe silver since Russia faltered. And Shannon probably would've brought back a couple of individual medals.

I'm not so sure Shannon could've helped the US team win bronze outright or touch the Russians or Romanians at all. The US team just didn't have strong enough vaults, and consistent enough beam routines. They did have high bars and floor scores though. I also highly doubt any of Shannon's routines could've brought home an individual medals either. On beam there's no way she could've been competitive enough against Liu Xuan, Ekaterina, or Yelena Produnova, with beam her only shot of any realistic individual medal chances.

@@mht4908 As much as I loved her gymnastics, I can't fully blame them for not bringing her. I agree that her scores definitely could have been helpful, especially on vault, but she had a bad vault during the trials and was very inconsistent so there's no telling if she would have been a help plus her injuries didn't help her. If she messes up on her best events, it would have been bad. It's a shame because she was very talented and pretty solid on everything except bars, it's just that injuries and consistency got to her. Really wanted her to meal on floor with that iconic first pass too
