1992, 1996, and 2000 had some of the deepest fields of all time, especialy for women, but unfortunately marred by too many mistakes. How would these events have gone with everyone hitting, I mean both women and men since it seems this forum ignores the men unless it specifically states men. These are how I believe they would have ended up, although tough to say for certain with such great depth and so many contenders.
1992 womens All Around:
Gold- Gutsu
Silver- Lysenko
Bronze- Milo
Tough to say for sure between Gutsu and Lysenko but Gutsu at her best could score in the 9.975 range on all of bars, beam, and floor, maybe even a 10, and a 9.95 on vault. Lysenko's vaulting edge is negaged by the stupid rule which doesnt credit a double twisting yurchenko, and she clearly isnt as good on bars as Gutsu, and her beam is inconsistent. Milo's huge scores on vault and floor would put her above all those other than maybe Gutsu and Lysenko had she hit her bars and beam more solidly than she did in the All Around (she is capable of 9.925-9.95 on both). Zmeskal, Miller, Onodi, Bontas, Bogi are all contenders too but I see them each just missing out in this scenario.
1992 womens vault: exactly as it turned out.
1992 womens bars: Gwang Suk would tie Lu Li for gold with another 10, Gutsu bronze as opposed to silver.
1992 womens beam: Lu Li would never medal now, she just doesnt have the difficulty. Gutsu in the finals and really nailing her super difficult set probably takes gold, even if Lysenko's winning routine was excellent. Miller definitely on the podium too. Bontas and Bogi can do better routines than what they did in finals but with Gutsu, Lysenko, Miller all hitting perfectly (not a step on the landing like Miller had or any small breaks) probably still no room for either
1992 womens floor: I think Milo, Onodi, Gutsu, Zmeskal (her Olympic trials routine although with what she was attempting in Barcelona no), Bontas could all potentially get a 10 here so we could have a many women tie for gold. Still Milo probably the most likely to get a 10, the other medals amongst any of those.
1992 Mens All Around: Misutin would win considering he almost got the gold over Scherbo despite hops and steps on almost every landing and a bad vault. Belenko would be closer to Scherbo and Misutin without his miffed vault but probably still only bronze. Ooops I forgot Li Jing, he could totally medal and perhaps even win gold in the finals and hitting, even with the Unified Team members all hitting. He was greatly missed in the All Around this year.
1992 Mens floor: Scherbo would take the gold away from Li Xiaoshaung with his best routine. Misutin bronze.
1992 Mens vault: Misutin and Yoo would both beat out Scherbo for gold with their best vaults. That would be the podium still but in a different order.
1992 Parallel bars: Li Ning wins gold with his best routine for sure. Belenko in the finals instead of Koribchinsky would have medaled along with Li and Scherbo.
1992 High bar: Misutin and Wecker with stuck landings both beat Trent, so a tie for gold rather than a tie for silver with Trent getting bronze.
