    The AA competition should have been postponed until later after it was revealed that the vault table needed adjustment
  • Mrs Svetlana Khorkina was a female Russian gymnastics icon I remember watching her in Atlanta summer Olympics held in America and her team perform well at the Sydney Australia 2000 she had made plenty mistake but she still help her head high for her country Russia.I enjoy watching her was elegant, beauty and a powerful athletic gymnast in history.

    I was very very little and hardly understood gymnastics or any sports at that age yet used to watch olympics soccer tennis on tv with my dad who is passionate about sports. And i remember vividly that i was in love with swetlana she was so elegant and tall compared to the compatriots she was my favorite gymnast magestic and beautiful like a white swan swimming in a crystal clear blue lake 😊

    One of the best gymnasts ever!! I’m surprised she couldn’t tell it was short
  • @bethstreich6565
    The tragedy was that it took so many gymnasts to vault before it was determined that the vault was to low the Olympic judges gave everyone an opportunity to do over their vaults but the damage was done I remember watching it it wasn’t right
  • @saragrant9749
    Tragedy? Try travesty. They should never have allowed that competition to continue after such a grievous mistake. It should have been completely restarted a couple of days later to allow all gymnasts a fair opportunity. Between it and the doping situation those games were despicable mess.
  • @lisageiger9841
    I so love her. She deserved way more than she got. So beautiful too.

    Queen. Inspiration to millions of young Lady athletes.
  • @Marketoromagnolo
    she deserved gold , she was the best, she fell for the wrong vault, and later got nervous and fell as well on bars, but she was allowed only to do again vault and so with bars' mistake would have been 6th... she was by far better than Raducan on bars, and same level on other 3 events
  • Just before she approached the red mst she was not ready to get that height amazing athlete ❤
  • @anovemberstar
    The whole vault thing was utterly deplorable, I hope heads rolled for that. Khorkina is a very talented gymnast, but nerves got the best of her - of course the vault incident didn't help, but like thy said, she also fell off bars in the team final.
  • @arcticgoddess
    This is exactly why Simone Biles dropped out of Tokyo. When you get the 'twisties' you are done until you work through it or it finishes your career.
  • @iamJROD
    The 2000 Sydney Olympics was the last time they used the vaulting horse for this event.
  • @oscarpaya8519
    Sydney had it all since 1988 to be memorable. Russia vs Romania at it best. What a shame, disastrous, somebody should have been fired. Until 2012 we won't' see an exciting all around.
