Larisa Iordache - with a tucked full as well!
I'll go with a relatively obscure one: Heaven Latimer, CAN
Great idea for a thread. I knew she did riskier skills earlier in her career but I didn’t expect to see Gogean on this list either.
I’ll add Kui Yuanyuan but won’t share the routine everyone thinks of when her name is mentioned…
That was the one I thought of! My favourite routine of hers, and of Atlanta. I've always wondered if the judges would've given it to her over Miller, if she'd somehow made the final and managed to hit.
Wasn't the judging of the top routines really consistent among optional phases? Or am I remembering just a few cases like Miller's beam and Podkopayeva's 9.887s on floor and overgeneralizing?That was the one I thought of! My favourite routine of hers, and of Atlanta.

With the top routines yes, small range even with our 1996 hats on. Miller got 9.862 for all three of her beam sets, Podkopayeva 9.887 for both her hit floors, Khorkina 9.850 for both her hit bars. Amanar got 9.875 for three of her five DTYs.Wasn't the judging of the top routines really consistent among optional phases?

(For those that don't know, during that team final, Miller get the same 9.862 she got in event finals but Kui Yuanyuan got 9.875. So KYY would have won!)
