On this day July 23, 1996: The United States women's gymnastics team wins its first-ever team gold medal on July 23, 1996, at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. Amanda Borden, Amy Chow, Dominique Dawes, Shannon Miller, Dominique Moceanu, Jaycie Phelps, and Kerri Strug comprised the 1996 United States women's team, dubbed the "Mag 7" or "magnificent seven." The team went into the Summer Olympics with the weight of an entire country on their young shoulders. They were regarded as America's best chance at Olympic team gold, something no American women's gymnastics team had ever achieved. To that point, the best finish for the American women had been a silver medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, which were boycotted by the favored Soviet Union, which had won eight consecutive team golds between 1952 and 1980. To win gold in 1996, the United States women competed against perennial contender Russia and Romania, the two-time defending world champions. Nonetheless, American fans believed the odds were in their favor: the team possessed a wealth of talent, and each of its members was capable of winning events. When the team competition began, veteran American star Shannon Miller did not disappoint, finishing second overall to Ukrainian world champion Lilia Podkopayeva. The vault was the final event of the team competition for the United States. The team, as well as coach Bela Karolyi, were unaware that they had won. Strug landed solidly on two feet after executing a flawless one-and-a-half twisting Yurchenko. She then spun around and hopped on one foot towards the judges' table before collapsing in agony. She celebrated her 9.712 in the arms of her coach, who would later have to carry the 4-foot-9-inch “Spark Plug” Strug to the medal stand. #HistoryOfThisDay #AlittleTrivia #July23rd #USWomenOlympics #AmandaBorden #AmyChow #DominiqueDawes #ShannonMiller #DominiqueMoceanu #JayciePhelps #KerriStrug #AlwaysBeLearning #BeAboutYouAcademy #RiseUpFinancialFreedomSolutions #BeAboutYourCredit #BeAboutYourBusiness #NCnotaryPublic (at Rise Up Financial Freedom Solutions LLC) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRrz34_BSUy/?utm_medium=tumblr

✴️ IV. Kerri Strug. #RompeMoldes ✔️23 de julio de 1996 (Atlanta), hasta este momento EEUU nunca ha conseguido el oro por equipos en #GimnasiaArtística. La URSS o Rumanía siempre habían quedado por delante de ellas. La elegida para saltar en último lugar era Kerri Strug, 18 años. ⏹️Máxima tensión, EEUU se la juega en casa. Strug no puede cometer ningún fallo si quieren el oro olímpico. Venían de bronce en los #JJOO de Barcelona 92. 30.000 personas pendientes de ella en el Georgia Dome, además del mundo entero por televisión. ⏹️Strug hace un gran salto (Yurchenko), pero se cae de culo al aterrizar. Cojea al levantarse, se ha lesionado el tobillo... Los jueces le dan una puntuación de 9.162. Karoly, el seleccionador, le anima: todavía queda el segundo salto. ⏹️Las gradas aplauden, Strug corre hacia el aparato de nuevo y vuelve a hacer un Yurchenko, aterriza sobre un pie (con los riesgos que conlleva) y... ¡¡la caída esta vez es fantástica y el oro está conseguido!! Memorable: 9.712 de puntuación. ⏹️La gimnasta va arrastrándose con las rodillas sobre la colchoneta. No puede más. Debe ir al hospital, no puede apoyar el pie. Pero le dicen que espere a recibir la medalla. 🗣️“Lloré de alegría y de dolor”. ✅Strug subió al podio con una escayola provisional. ✅Karoly la llevó en brazos en la vuelta de honor. 🇺🇸Las americanas no volvieron a ganar el oro hasta 16 años después (Londres 2012 y Río 2016) 📸Mentalfloss #LasCiniscas #LaPizarraDeDoc #gaf #gimnasiaartistica #deportes #femenino #mujeres #KerriStrug #Atlanta96 #JJOO #JuegosOlimpicos #gymnastics #olympicgames https://www.instagram.com/p/B2TRhzUovSi/?igshid=t0dozg49vge6

Watching this on repeat to amp myself up for a show. Probably because it resembles what it’s like to do comedy... “OMG, I don’t know if I can do this! OMG, I am killing it! OMG, someone help me.” Life in comedy— it’s high, it’s low, it’s exciting and depressing at the same time. If you’re in San Diego tonight I’ll be performing at Madhouse Comedy Club, come on down and watch me attempt the impossible (not really). But seriously, how great was this moment? My sister and I used to reenact that landing as we threw ourselves from the couch. . #kerristrug #neverforget #staygolden https://www.instagram.com/p/B8z7P98HFGL/?igshid=19xt6pc0iwi6b

For #RedWhiteBlueTuesday, we wanted to share this touching story of sacrifice + forbearance. ⛈🌈 You can accomplish anything if your heart is in the right place. 💙❤🥇☄ @kerristrug vaults at the 1996 @olympics in Atlanta (at Atlanta, Georgia)

[sportbygettyimages]

Atlanta, 1996: That legendary landing. #50Days50Moments After an awkward landing on her first vault attempt left USA's #KerriStrug with two torn ligaments in her left ankle, all hope of America's first-ever #gymnastics team gold medal seemed lost. To defeat the Russians, they would need one more vault from the injured Strug. What happened next is the stuff of legend. In severe pain and under immense pressure, the 4-foot-9 gymnast summoned the unimaginable strength and courage to make her second vault. With the eyes of a nation upon her, she sprinted down the runway on her damaged ankle, vaulted high into a twist, and absolutely stuck the landing. Her score of 9.712 guaranteed #TeamUSA their much coveted first team gold. Then, in what remains one of the most indelible moments in #Olympics history, Strug's coach Bela Karolyi picked her up in his arms and carried her to the podium to receive her medal. | July 23, 1996 | 📷: Doug Pensinger | #Rio2016 #🇺🇸 #❤️ ⬇️ Click the link in our bio for more stunning Olympic moments...

Kerri Strug was a member of the Magnificent Seven, the victorious all-around women's gymnastics team that represented the United States at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996, and is best remembered for performing the vault despite having injured her ankle and for subsequently being carried to the podium by her coach, Bela Karolyi. Strug under-rotated the landing of her first attempt, causing her to fall and damage her ankle. As a result, the attempt was awarded 9.162 points. Strug needed to land a second vault on her feet in order to mathematically clinch the gold for the US team. In the time interval between Strug's two vaults, she asked, "Do we need this?" Károlyi replied, "Kerri, we need you to go one more time. We need you one more time for the gold. You can do it, you better do it." Strug thus limped slightly to the end of the runway to make her second attempt. She landed the vault briefly on both feet, almost instantly hopping onto only her good foot, saluting the judges. She then collapsed onto her knees and needed assistance off the landing platform, to which sportscaster John Tesh commented, "Kerri Strug is hurt! She is hurt badly." The completed vault received score of 9.712, guaranteeing the Americans the gold medal. Károlyi carried her onto the medals podium to join her team, after which she was treated at a hospital for a third-degree lateral sprain and tendon damage. Strug became a national sports hero for her final vault.#kerristrug#butchhistory
