Svetlana Khorkina - Sydney 2000 Experience 

AGREED!

There's no way it could have been restarted as the Olympics is a multisport event and it would have clashed with other sports in terms of timing etc. But what they should have done is used the results from the QF as that was the only fair competition.

it was not a tragedy, they were given a second chance to do their vaults again AND even the great great nadia came off the bars (twice?)

@@stephanfourie6879 Nadia never had a situation where the apparatus was SET WRONG!! Big difference between that and this!! These athletes competed on a vault set too low by the officials- yes, they were screwed over!!

Given the million things she had going on in her mind, it’s not surprising at all. Stuff like that just doesn’t happen in the Olympics, or any meet for that matter. Except in 2000.

I’m sure if she hadn’t fallen on bars, she would have revaulted, and perhaps the official results would be different, but it’s one of those who-knows cases in sports history.

Same level as Raducan on other events? lol no. She was way better on bars that's true, but her beam was very average in Sydney and Raducan is just better beam worker in general. Her floor scores were a joke, she stepped out of bounds during qualifying and "nobody noticed", and her winning silver in EF with very obvious error in her second pass was ridiculous. Raducan had way harder passes (also 4 of them while Khorkina only 3), cleaner landings and she moved and danced non stop which requires incredible stamina while half of Khorkina's routine is just arms flailing and posing to catch her breath. Raducan had just one fall during all the competitions, while Khorkina had multiple. And do you really think she'd pull out of vault finals if she thought she actually had a chance to medal? She didn't simply gift her spot to Zamo, she had two same entry vaults but she needed a different one for the final and she obviously didn't have strong enough second vault. And vault being an excuse for her falling off bars... please, she fell on the same skill during TF. If anything she'd actually be less nervous because she had nothing to lose anymore after already being out of medal contention. For example, Elise Ray threw her hardest dismount during AA after making errors and having nothing too lose anymore, I'm sure she'd play it more safe if she hit her routines before that. I think the real battle should have been between Karpenko and Lobaznyuk as they were the most balanced AA gymnasts, and Raducan would be 3rd, but sadly Karpenko had a disaster on floor and Lobaznyuk had too many minor errors.

@@nabojsa Yes Korkina had not a different family second vault ( or better she had but had only 9.6 start value), but Raducan had the same vault from 2 different entries, and for beam and floor , even if Raducan had much harder routine both had the same start value., so the problem was the code of points. don'r forget that Korkina best Raducan on bars by 0.3 scor, and they were almost tied on other 3 events, so the difference is only on bars but is very larger.

@@Marketoromagnolo well if you put it like that then you can also say that Raducan was just as good on bars as Khorkina because they both had 10 start value. But they obviously weren't and we all know it. Khorkina was overscored on most events because she was too famous, while Raducan just came on the scene a year before and Khorkina competed since 1994. I already mentioned perfect examples of that, which you ignored: her going out of bounds on floor in quals which "nobody noticed", same as her landing error in ef (big step and uncontrolled landing on her second pass) which again was totally ignored. If Raducan had such landing you can bet they would take at least a tenth or two. So you really can't base your argument on start value and scores, try to be objective and look at their skills and execution and then tell me if they were really equally good? It's like saying that Gogean and Kui were equally good on beam in 1997 or that Gogean was actually better because she won gold over Kui.

She’s not better if she fell.

Tara mea

La altura del equipo fue errónea

It was live. That all came out after she completed her two vaults. It was not known yet at the moment.

It was an unforgivable mistake from the FIG and organisation of the Olympics Games!

Eles sempre jogam sujo quando querem derrubar um rival que provavelmente será o campeão. Ela perdeu seu equilíbrio emocional. Com Valieva usaram o escândalo do doping. Odeio quem faz tais atrocidades e destroem a carreira das pessoas. Mas o fim dessas pessoas vai ser triste. Deus adverte em sua palavra quem tais atos comete. O que mais me deixa perplexo é que a nação que é defendida como a promotora da justiça é a protagonista das maiores desgraças do último século. Isso é Deus? Isso reflete alguma coisa de Deus?! Acho que talvez após a segunda guerra poderíamos esperar algo bom, mas por trás do novo mundo estava escondida a intenção de dominar o mundo e tudo em conformidade com os anseios da Inglaterra tudo foi feito para difundir seu neocolonialismo. Não consigo ver Deus nisso... Usar religião, mídia e esportes para se auto promover. Tenho minhas dúvidas quando na Bíblia há o relato sobre quem irá protagonizar o papel da Grande Babilônia que irá cair... Alguns acreditavam que seria a igreja católica, o vaticano, mas não creio que os escândalos de pedofilia superem as desgraças disseminadas por essa "organização". A única coisa que posso concluir com isso tudo, é que o mundo está entregue ao domínio dos homens e eles sempre vão se travestir se bons e justos para expandir seus domínios. E se preciso for vão usar qualquer meio, religião, divindade, e é claro, a mentira posta como verdade.

to line up the springboard (i’m pretty sure)

Fata asta Este prea inalta pt gimnastics

This is Sydney; Carly was in Athens, 4 years later.

Good ear

This was 24 years ago!

@@imissnj2 It doesn't matter; he is stupid anyway.

Half of the entire competition vaulted at the wrong height. There were many injuries amongst many teams. This video follows Khorkina’s experience, as she was the favorite. That being said, two rotations competed at the wrong height, Khorkina was not the only victim of the incorrect setting.

У вас мания величия

психология терпилы

И единственной в истории гимнастики 3-х кратной ЧМ в абсолюте.

No she wasn’t, but a Romanian gymnast who won the all around was given a cold medicine that was banned and came back positive for doping.

Behind the keyboard we all can pretend to be champions, huh ?
