Alexei Nemov
Alexei Nemov was the runner-up in the 1996 Olympic all-around competition, and in 2000, he was determined to win it all. He put together a near-perfect meet, capped off with a flawless parallel bar set and a stuck double pike dismount.

He won the all-around by just over a tenth of a point – anything less than a stick would have most likely given the gold to Chinese gymnast Yang Wei.
