Kelly Garrison-Steves (USA) in the 1988 Olympics EF. She only got 7th?! I love all the unique moves that you would never see in today’s routines, like the semi-Valdez, arabesque hold, back walkover-half thingy, and forward roll. And of course, I also love her because we share the same alma-mater: Oklahoma! Unlike what we see today, with the exception perhaps of Mohini Bhardwaj, Kelly competed at the Olympics AFTER she had competed NCAA, under Becky Switzer at OU. I believe she was also the first woman to score a Perfect 10.0 on beam in the NCAA!
