Not sure where you come up with the fact that less powerful gymnast opt for the yurchenko. That's ridiculous. Obviously you are not a gymnast or have never done one yourself.
@sayshal She might not do yurchenko's because she can easily get away with not doing them. Gymnasts who lack power quite often opt for yurchenko's because the round off entry helps give them the power they can't generate themselves. So maybe Oksana just doesn't do as well with Yurchenko entrys and since she is so powerful she doesn't need to do them so she chooses not to.
Actually 32. She won her first world title all the way back in 1991. Yet in all these years I've never seen her do a Yurchenko entry into the vault. With her power and that, I don't see how she'd loose. Don't get it.
