I put her in the category of Gracie Gold. Were the Olympics not in Sochi, she would have been dropped faster than Masha Butyrskaya was in 1994.

Let's name a few, just to help educate you:<br /><br />Izbasa (2012 VT)<br />Ponor (2004 FX)<br />LePennec (2004 UB)<br />Zamolodchikova (2000 FX)<br />Zamolodchikova (2000 VT)<br /><br />I'll stop there. And if you are talking about tumbling form, Aly's was top notch. You're an idiot if you think otherwise. Yeah, her leaps lack a lot of form, but that doesn't negate her prowess as the best tumbler of this quad (which is inarguable based simply on her skill repertoire and execution). <br /><br />Sometimes it's best to just shut the fuck up if you don't know what you're talking about.

I think that was probably the earliest for her. Too bad she never made it to a big international event. So much talent at that time for the USA. Especially on bars. Strange to think we were a force on the event at that time. The 10.0 max was certainly good to us.
