It's interesting that in Romania I hear sports commentators mentioning "the Mostepanova" like it's named after Olga. But in fact, it couldn't have been, as she wasn't in any Olympics because of the boycott. I also remember Onodi very vividly, although I was only a child back then.
Olga actually performed the backhandspring halftwist walkover out in the 1983 World Championships, but it wasnt named after her because she didnt submit it. Its a shame, as it was her move.
@ralucagymnast Yeah When you watch old Comps from late 80's and early 90's The British commentators always call it "the mostepanova" when Onodi does it

Perhaps.. in the mean time search for '1990 goodwill games gymnastics", more than 200 vids will come up. ;-)

Olessia Dudnik did a triple twist dismount at the 1989 Worlds (and elsewhere).
