Still the BEST TEAM in USA Olympics History ❤️🙌
Forget you…. Kerri strug is the leader. The best performance ever in sports!
This is TRUE dancing my friends !!!
Aww, they made me tear up. Tthis was a great time in my childhood. I love it.
They had nothing to prove. They went in and they won!
Look at all my snow bunnys!!! Still looking amazing!! Especially my sha sha
I remember watching Kerri's vault. I was 12 years old, and gymnastics was my favorite Olympic sport to watch. I jumped up and screamed for joy when she nailed that landing. My heart then sank when I saw that she was injured
Amazing that the person they picked to be the leader picked someone else. I think I have an idea why they picked her and not Dominique 😂
wow now this is pretty cool
2 catch up w/ the magnificent seven who where part of the Olympics in 96….
I remember being a kid when this happened. Kerri landing that final flip with a messed up ankle is one of the most memorable moments in Olympic history
i looked up to u guys when i was younger❤❤❤
Hi Matt Lauer
Ill never forget them and the 96 Olympics. It was the one that made the Olympics magical for me as a kid.
"True" never quit champions!!!..take notice and strive to their excellence!!!
They absolutely set the bar for my generation!!! All I wanted to be was a gymnast from 93-97!!!! You had to see it live to understand it!!!!
What was Kerri injury
Kerri destroyed foot or ankle
Im 44 i watched the whole thing back then. Its never left my mind. My whole family watching these awesome ladles and their bravery and strength. I was still get chills thinking about it.
Did Jaycie speak?
I wish Borden still had that hairdo.
I wasn’t even born until three years after this Olympics, but my mom showed it to me when I was young on VHS. I wore out that VHS. I actually still have it. Seriously though Amanda Borden was like my idol. When I was five I literally cut my hair to look like hers lol
SHANNON MILLER is my favorite Olympian EVER
Random from cyberspace, you ladies RULE. Past, present, future – you are so inspiring! 🙏👏✌️
It's so touching how the legacy these girls left still inspired next generations till now. And I believe it's one of the greatest things you could achieve as a human being.
They’re all still so beautiful. 🙂
USA 🎉🎉❤❤❤🤍💙💙💙
My era made me cry
Amy chow and strug are ugly. And jc looks 20 years older than the others.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They look amazing
Greatest American Team Ever.
Greatest of all time.
Not them ignoring the Chinese lady
Wow!
These women are the best of the best and legends. People will never forget this team. Ever.
To gymnastic goats too pta mom's lmao
Amanda being an Amy stan made me smile
This is what I miss about living in the 1990’s.
People looked at each other with a smile.
They came together more. They laughed more. They played more. Heck yeah we might’ve argued as much but Atleast there was more happiness in the air. People loved life more.
Ali isn't "The Greatest".
These women are.
