Of hundreds of Yurchenko 1/1s I’ve seen this season, Maile’s is best.
OPEN before landing. WAY before vertical. This is like the top trampolinists.

Gymnastics – International Women’s Day
In 2023 one of the top Olympic women’s sports is Gymnastics. One of the few domains where males are the minority.
Increasingly, leadership has been taken over by women. A good trend.
I’d say the most successful competitive division of WAG in the world is not FIG, but rather NCAA. And Utah led the way in making the College sport so big in the eyes of the general public.
Congratulations to all the ladies in Gymnastics on #progress. And thanks to Utah for building the sport.

Karin Lichey’s perfect 40.0
February 23, 1996 perfect 40.0 in the all-around.
Karin Lichey Usry attended the University of Georgia from 1996–1999, and was part of both NCAA Championship teams in 1998 and 1999. …
She won the Honda Sports Award as the nations’s top gymnast in 1999.
Of course it’s impossible to compare the over-scores of today with the over-scores of that era. Karin did have a terrific night.
