Personally, I dont't like her Ricna. Although she did create the skill, I feel like she does a stalder and a tkatchev. I don't feel like it has a very fluent motion to it.
@alexzjay To be fair, I think it was nearly impossible to perform a Ricna to Pak salto combination consistently in 1985 when the bars were THAT close. Even Pak Gyong Sil had trouble doing her own skill in 1989 due to the proximity of the bars.

The "Stalder-Tkatchev" moved is named after her- it's called the "Ricna." Then Khorkina used it years later in her routine.

It is a beautiful combination. But I think Khorki performed it better.
