Svetlana Khorkina

Khorkina has more skills named after her on the uneven bars than almost anyone, mostly releases and transitions that suited her unusually tall frame. Rather than adapt to a sport designed for smaller gymnasts, she used her long lines to invent elements others had not considered. She won Olympic bars gold in 1996 and 2000 and a string of world titles, and her influence on bars composition lasted well beyond her career.
