You mean when Strug vaulted BEFORE the final Russian on the floor. The Russian who was criminally underscored by the Atlanta Judges. Then NBC when showing the event showed the Russian floor exercise before last Strug's vault, to make it seem like she went last and it was even more dramatic. yes. you've been lied to your entire life by the media. yes, i worked in the production department for that little bit of history alteration.

When the vault occurred is the most irrelevant part of this event. Are you serious? Who cares when she vaulted, the US needed that vault from her and she delivered a 9.7. You conspiracy theory people are nuts and you focus on the most ridiculous details and act like it proves something.
There are literally 100-200 12 year old girls in the US that can do that vault these days.
Biles is on a different planet.
Well, you certainly aptly named yourself.
I remember watching that Strug vault when it happened and that it was quite disturbing.
They didn't evaluate her injury, just blindly "Do it for your country."
Absolute disregard for athlete's long-term health
could have ended brutally
bad call that ended well, but still a bad call.
We would have won gold anyway.
Its not a conspiracy. It was deliberately edited when they showed the Team Event on television to make it seem like she was the Last Vault of the competition and she at that point knew she had get a certain score while injured to win. Pure fantasy. In fact a Russian girl was on the floor and the idiotic USA crowd was so loud during her vault the Russian girl on the floor or anyone else could even hear her music. She should have been allowed to restart. oh well keep believing the media like a good little lemming. 10'S OF MILLIONS OF $$$$$ WERE SPENT HYPING UP THE MAGNIFICENT 7 before that Olympic$.

This year, an NCAA wrestler - well, actually more like THE BEST NCAA wrestling talent in a decade or two - wrestled and won an NCAA title with two torn ACL's to help his team secure the team title, and they did! Why? Because according to him, "excuses are for wusses."
That's real GOAT type stuff.

Ummm, No, no "they" would not have. The previous vaults were not great, if Strug didn't vault they would not have even medaled. Strug's vault made it mathematically impossible for anyone to overtake them for gold. The idiot posting above doesn't seem to understand that and is talking about when the vault occurred, which is irrelevant.
They 100% needed Strug to vault and her vault 100% sealed the gold medal.
She was a beast, she did it for her teammates, her country and herself.
If Biles goes on to win gold in the all-around, she will be excoriated for being selfish and weak and deservedly so.

LOL no she wont. I can't stop you from fantasizing. But try being realistic and you'll be less likely to be laughed at.

Strug performace had little bearing on the team title, but again, continue to fantasize. but it's a bit... weird...

Yep, we know that
Social Media says Biles is done for the Olympics when we in fact will not know until THURSDAY!!!
Biles is weak and selfish
Strug is a beast
I swear you people have brain damage. Strug stepped up and vaulted and at the time she vaulted, they needed her to do so. They didn't know what scores would come later. When or how NBC decided to show it for production value later is completely irrelevant to whether Strug is a beast or not. In the end, it did turn out that they didn't need her vault, but they didn't know that. The vault however, made it impossible for anyone to overtake them so it didn't matter what the Russians did after. She guaranteed the gold! She vaulted on a 3rd degree lateral sprain. She didn't cry about her feelings.
Got it?
Biles is weak!

To sacrifice your body for the good of the team even if it means the rest of your life you will not be able to walk or even exercise decently? When I was young and stupid, I did stuff like that. Now I do not, and neither should any young person be advised to do it.
Are you aware of what Dan Gable and others have gone through? Sure, he is the GOAT. So, is the famous hockey goalie Dennis Sawchuk who stopped as many goals with his face as with his stick. How about Race Car Driving? At what point is that a stupid sport?
