Lilia Podkopayeva

Podkopayeva won the Atlanta 1996 all-around and floor titles, and her floor routine included the Podkopayeva, a double front salto with a half twist, which remains one of the hardest tumbles a woman has competed. Front-rotating double saltos with a twist land blind, so the skill demanded exceptional air awareness. Few women attempted it for years afterwards, which shows how far ahead of the field her tumbling was.
