A personal choice, indeed. I guess the author wanted to represent each year of the 1980s.
I would put a Melita Ruhn's perfect 10 vault or a Davydova's 9.95 vault from the Moscow Olympics instead of Shaposhnikova's. But I guess the author personally prefered Natalia Shaposhnikova as a person not her average vault.
And yes, M.L.Retton in 1984 instead of, let's say, Stoyanova in 1983.
1982 could be represented by Agache's vault in the World Cup AA.
what about mary lou? i know a lot of fans criticize her win after the fact but her it still does change the fact that her run was the fastest, vault was the most powerful and she got the most distance out of any one ive ever seen even with gymnasts today.
