This video showcases the 1994 National Championships event finals. You get to see Dominique Dawes, the 94 National Champ, doing full routines on all 4 events, along with Shannon Miller. Amanda Borden is shown on bars and floor, Jennie Thompson is shown on beam and floor, and Amy Chow is shown on vault (the top 3 scoring athletes on each event are shown). There is also a short men's segment featuring fragments of routines done by 94 National Champ Scott Keswick, Steve McCain, John Roethlisberger, and Mihai Bagiu. There is also a short segment on the jr. women that features 94 Jr. Champ Dominique Moceanu and Doni Thompson. Athletes are interviewed about their training hours, an explanation of Kerri Strug's absence is mentioned, and a report is done on Christy Henrich. The amount of gymnastics shown is good, considering the tape is 55 minutes. This is a great tape for those like me who did not get to see this competition!

This video is of the event finals from the 1994 National Championships. It features stars such as Dominique Dawes, Shannon Miller, Amanda Borden, Jennie Thompson, John Roethlisberger, Scott Keswick, and others. This video also has nice features on: the junior gymnasts(Dominique Moceanu, Doni Thompson), on what a coach is, on why Kerri Strug wasn't competing, and on how many hours gymnasts train a day.

My daughter got this video last year for Christmas. We are watching it today for the first time in several months, and I am complelled to write a review I should have written last January. The video is great- my 6 year old loves it- that was the problem. From the beginning, the tape itself had a few places where the picture would jump, but I couldn't pry it from her to return it for replacement. I fiqured we could live with the bad tape quality since it was only a few tiny places, but it has gotten much worse over time.
Just beware that while the content is good, you may be better off with another video- or maybe mine is just a bum tape.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't regret buying this tape, but it's just not spectacular. It basically has the 3 female medalists on each event and a few highlights of the men. They have a few little inserts, one about Kerri Strug's absence and one about the Junoir Women's All-Around. Overall, It was good but just wasn't great.

This video was so good! I loved how you could see many gymnasts and when they did a hard move when the routine was over they would go back and explain it and do it in slow motion! It was worth watching many many times!

I loved it, i watch it with my brothers and sisters all the time, over and over.

This is a very old video and kind of rare to find. It arrived in great condition, and sold for a good price. I was very happy with this purchase and seller.

I loved this movie. It has some of the best coverage

Dominque Dawes is arguably the best gymnast America had to offer at this time. Though when it came to world titles steps, balance checks, and even falls came as well.
