[...] At that point, it was possible for the Russians to take the gold if the US women collapsed. Strug’s teammate Dominique Moceanu fell on both of her vaults, registering poor scores. Strug was the last to vault for the United States.
Strug under-rotated the landing of her first attempt, causing her to fall and damage her ankle. Despite this, the attempt was awarded 9.162 points. Retrospectively, even with Moceanu's 9.200 score, the U.S. already had sufficient scores to beat the Russians even had Strug failed to vault at all, as the lowest score among the six vaulters for each team was dropped. The American coaches, however, had not been keeping track of the scores and when Strug's injury was apparent, and her score was revealed, they were unable to compute whether a higher score would be necessary in the 30 seconds before she had to vault again.
[...] When she asked, "Do we need this?" Karolyi 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 for her second attempt. She landed the vault briefly on both feet, almost instantly hopping onto only her good foot. Strug raised her arms after her vault, saluting the judges. She then needed assistance off the landing platform due to the injury, [...] The completed vault received score of 9.712, which ended all doubt about whether the Americans would receive the gold. Karolyi 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.

pourquoi les commentateurs parlent aussi comme s'il lui fallait un score minimum, et aussi, avant son premier saut, en bas c écrit quil lui faut 9,493 pour gagner la médaille dor pour son équipe.. fek ni lentraineur ni les commentateurs le savaient ou bien c la source sur wiki qui est erronée?
personne le savait...
les entraîneurs avaient pas le temps de le calculer, pi wiki dit ça à propos de la chose:
Indeed, there was significant confusion over what precisely was needed for the Americans to secure gold. NBC commentator John Tesh indicated to the American television audience, prior to Strug's first vault, that "if Kerri Strug can score a 9.493 or better, then she will win the team gold for the USA". Thus, the 9.162 she scored for her first vault was, according to NBC's math, insufficient. Bela Karolyi believed the number to be about a 9.6.[6]
je sais pas vraiment pourquoi... daprès moi ya qqn qui a fait des calculs maison pi qui sest fourré, qqch du genre, lol...
un vraie de vraie !
