@drsarcasmus That is so true. Her full-twisting Tkatchev is rated a "G" in the current Code Of Points. And more than 20 years later...that's incredible and just showcases Elena's legacy.

@emmyjo720 Always enjoyed watching Shushunova on UB. Power, difficulty and perfect form!
-
That dismount just floats in the air and she lands so lightly
-
And vault; she was the first to perform a 1.5 yurchenko.
-
Elena Shushunova is BRILLIANT!
-
Not only the legs together, a 'layed' out position during the flight......I see countless perform it almost in a 'seated' position emmyjo! even Shawn Johnsons is not great for that matter!
-
I know it is the best geinger I have seen too... Shushunova has moves named after on bars, beam and floor...
-
With all the top uneven bars workers jamming their routines with difficulty, I'm surprised no one at the uneven bars finals in Beijing utilized Shushunova's move. I think that last gymnast I saw performing it was Natalia Ziganchina and she had the same coach as Shushunova.

Nice body position on the geinger....her legs stayed together completely !! the best i've seen it performed in all fairness!!!
This routine was ahead of its time. Her dismount was used to win Olympic Gold 20 years later, and her full-twisting Tkatchev is an element even today's girls don't dare try in their routines.
