A World Champion on UB before finishing kindergarten, Kim exhibited a difficulty that surpassed the standards of her era and could settle right into today's era of gymnastics.

The fact that she did her release skill right off the bat is impressive enough; no wasted giants to propel herself.

Thanks to NastiaFan101 @ WWGym, with a little bit of tweaking to match some of the requirements in the new Code, here's the breakdown and the A-score for Kim's routine:

Hecht mount (B)
KCHS (B) Tkatchev (D) Kim Salto (F) 0.2
Up to HB
Giant 1-1/2 (D) Jaeger (D) Bail to HS (D) 0.2
Clear hip circle (C)
Up to HB
Giant full (C) Giant (B) Giant (B) Double layout (D)

EGR 2.5
Bonus 0.4 - 2.9
1F 0.6 - 3.5
5D 2.0 - 5.5
2C 0.6 - 6.1
2B 0.4 - 6.5

I wish there was somebody out there now who was proficient enough to do this kind of routine. It would certainly change things up a little.
