I dont see how she could have been more successful in 92, she was the 4th best on a strong team. other than making the vault final what else could she hope for?

Sure Kerri, but it wouldn’t have made your beam layouts or floor dance any better, so I don’t see how you could have placed any higher than you did. Wah.

Maybe she shouldn’t have had such crappy choreography for her floor routines. Her compulsory floor stunned me because she was actually a good dancer. Too bad they wasted that with cutesy waves and poses.
