I love that Shannon Miller dismount, she was great fun to watch!

[JeremiVW]

Umm.. How can you leave the great Catalina Ponor out of this video. Her dismount during 2004 Olympics got enormous praise for difficulty, power, & confidence.

[ivanterrones]

Catalina Ponor at Athens 2004 Olympics. A very deserved Gold medal. She is the QUEEN.

Not the best list ever compiled, but I’ve got to say watching Carly Patterson do that dismount never ceases to amaze me

[JamesFrew]

This list is hilarious—shaposhnikova are you kidding?

Notable misses—Dawes AA 1996, Nastia 2008, Catalina Ponor etc...

[bagelized]

Not sure why Shaposhnikova is here. Her dismount doesn’t make her less of a great gymnast, but that double tuck is not only one of the easier dismounts, but also poorly executed.

[fernlin-healy]

This video is a joke. A lot of these are nowhere near the list of best dismounts in Olympic history.

[adamtravis]

Whoever compiled this doesn’t know a thing about gymnastics. Where is Nastia’s iconic stick in the AA of 2008?

[LuisMiguel]

Shannon, Tatiana and Carly are my favorites.

2:25 Wow that was a unique dismount I've never seen performed by other gymnast

[scoobiewu]

The front handspring made my jaw drop!! Amazing power and scary!

[cheatpokemon]

I love korkina's dissmouth, that Gainer is so good

[bingbong]

Where's Shawn Johnson and Simone Biles? Are you serious?...

[ItsSeanzie]

There were several questionable choices in this video, but an attempt was made

[yooowhatsgood]

2:16 quit possibly the most unique dismount i’ve ever seen

[graciesgymnastics]

Love these type of videos So much, beam dismount are one of my favourite things to do at practice because beam is my favourite event but tumbling is the most fun, so put the 2 together and you got a beam dismount 😁

[savannahpeirce]

My queen Carly!!! She is my favorite gymnast in the world

[Zarumaans]

Ummm....the only gymnasts worthy under this title in this video are Prodonova, Carly, and Shannon. The rest need to take several seats and then some....

[savannahpeirce]

1:36 I'm sorry but that was real ugly

[ΕΥΑΓΓΕΛΙΑΡΟΥΣΗ-δυ]

Shaposnikova's dismount is one of the worst I've seen. Badly cowboyed, low chest on landing, at least two steps back.
