as Amy Chow is next this routine is simply incredible this is her Forte and she has the most unusual skills in this routine it's just plain old meat and he's 18 years old from San Jose California remember she had a horrible crash on a balance beam headfirst the Olympic Trials got up and finished the routine that's the only reason she made it here boy not a mistake so far from this entire US team but the highlight still to come get ready for this dismount double twisting double somersault two flips two twists [Applause] the Americans are militants and the crowd loves it this truly is a team of superstars we've been reading all week long in the paper coaches from different countries saying they have no weakness certainly not right here two clips two twists incredibly difficult just the small hop on the landing Dominique Dawes in her second Olympic Games telegraphic the oldest member of the team [Applause] with a lot of experience and when this young lady hits this lies on her release moves I don't think I've ever seen anyone take this skill that you're about to see coming on mama high bar that's high as she performs it watch this right here [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] they call her awesome Boston she is that you are so this young lady is first up for the USA she's typically we should tell you the United States biggest problem in the compulsories was on this piece of apparatus and typically John the Post I think if a man the voice goes up there doesn't just make it true but does a good routine it'll sell this new LC she has the nerves of the Olympic Games she has the fans screaming and she has the blurry music of the Romanians on for exercise to contend with l'amanda boy [Music] [Applause] first pick combination coming up right here this will set the stage she looks confident Amanda may not some of the more exciting elements that we're going to see later but as I said it's so so important to be [Applause] [Applause] and it's so easy to doubt yourself just a little bit and when you do you don't necessarily fall off but you have what's called a balance check and I don't think she's had one busbar Mantha's 19 she narrowly missed a berth on the Olympic team four years ago just the dismount [Applause] that's what they asked for she the one metal she has never worn around her neck is Olympic gold Shannon Miller balance beam [Applause] [Music] this US staff could not have prepared this team any better than they have you know they're at a training camp in North Carolina prior to these two started these Olympic Games and their training camp was in a Coliseum on a podium certainly a much better preparation than they had in Barcelona and then they topped off the week with an exhibition in front of 17,000 fans [Music] it's always been said that Shannon has toiled in the shadow first of kin zamesca at the 92 games and in his past year in the shadow of Dominique Moceanu but so far she has been the most solid competitor for the Americans purple serezha [Music] not even a waiver in this routine just the dismount [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] very hot [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music]
