Answer: Mo Huilan
She was right about being small. When she competed in the Atlanta Olympics at the age of 17, Mo was only 4'6" inches tall. Her petite stature and tremendous strength earned her the nickname "Mighty Mo." However, her status as a crowd-pleaser probably had more to do with the fact that she was amazingly talented and polished, a "complete" gymnast - one that's equally good at all four events.

Answer: Yelena Davydova
In 1952, Maria Gorokhovskaya won the 1st Olympic All-Around gold medal while competing for the Soviet Union(USSR). However, she was born in the Ukraine. Larissa Latynina, the Olympic All-Around champion in 1956 and 1960, was also of Ukranian descent. In 1972, the next Soviet gymnast to win the All-Around gold medal was Ludmilla Tourischeva, another Ukranian great. It would not be until 1980 that a Russian born gymnast named Yelena Davydova would win the All-Around title in one of the most controversial judging events in Olympic history. Yelena Shushunova won the Olympic All-Around title in 1988, making her the 2nd Russian woman to win the All-Around gold medal. In 1992, Tatiana Gutsu would win gold for Ukraine, followed by Lilia Podkopayeva in 1996. In total, a gymnast from the Ukraine has won the Olympic All-Around gold medal 6 times, more than any other country.

Answer: clear hip (free hip)
A clear hip and a free hip are the exact same skill. Some people prefer saying one or the other, depending on which one their coach said. A clear hip or free hip, is when a gymnast flips around the bar, and before making a complete circle, shoots up to a handstand. A handstand is not required in Level 6, and not many women are able to accomplish this, they just shoot to a handstand horizontal to the bar.
