Amazing moments in Olympics history: Kerri Strug on the vault (1996) - Vialogues

In the Summer Olympic games in Atlanta, team USA was in jeopardy of losing their lead- and the gold medal- to the Russians. After a bad vault run for the US girls that included hops and falls, it was up to Kerri Strug to clinch the score that would bring them the gold. Things didn't look good for USA after Kerri's first attempt resulted in a fall and a painful sprained ankle. What happened during her second run, though, inspired the world and made "Kerri Strug" a household name.
