Anyone know when (or if) Hristakieva (BUL) competed this vault?

I’m sure she only did it without the twist . That was the vault that was in the COP under her name until 2006.

The earliest performance of this vault I know of is Anna Pavlova in 2003. Either Russia Cup or Championship. Remembering online discussion from the time, I’m sure it was a first.

I can’t think of any Lopez she ever did that looked like she could add a half twist to it either. Pavlova generally had lovely form on that vault, but it wasn’t the most dynamic. It’s not like with eg Jordan who clearly has the juice to twist more in the vault if she wanted to pursue it.
 
I thought the Hristakieva vault was just the Yurchenko 1/2 twist? In the 90’s messageboards would refer to this vault as the Hristakieva (GGMB and OOBN back in the day). It was a 10.0 vault from 93-94 ish so it was a somewhat common vault during this period before it went down a tenth in SV.

Where are we seeing that the Hristakieva is the “Mustafina” vault?
