Which gymnasts from the past and today have the best pivots and balances in whole RG history?
For pivots, Lipkovskaya, Kapranova and Sessina, right?
For balances, I am not sure at all. It's very confusing. Do you think Serebrianskaya?

I had to read that a few times!  Pivots? I really dont know, Sessina is strong, Kondakova also, (She has a low relevae though!)... Balances? I think Shpekht fixes the shape, and she holds them, (Unlike A LOT)... I cant think, Ill come to this later on and finish it!

I would say that Kapranova has good pivots - backscale ones anyway. Kanaeva also has good pivots.
For balance I think Kapranova also, there are many moves in her hoop and clubs routines that are incredible, although I'm not sure how many are counted as balances rather than flexibility. |

Take it easy, Tahnee. I actually made a mistake. I thought I was writing 'Kapranova one of the best for balances' but I didn't look clearly. However, I asked you , guys for your opinions as well because I am sometimes not sure of mines. 
To others: Thanks for your opinions.

Pivots: Alexandrova always comes to my mind. Fast and very well fixed positions. I also like Lipkovskaya's pivots.
When it comes to balances...I have no idea, but the first thing that I recalled was Barsoukova's ball ending from 2000.  |

Balances: I think that Ukranian balances are very good. Bessonova, Kovalchuck (she had good balances sometimes, and sometimes they weren't good at all), Kushnerova. Zhukova is able to make well defined balances really fast (she fixes the position fast, stays the required time and finishes fast)
Pivots: Some gymnasts make good gymnastics pivots (Russian School, they usually make pivots with backbends or circles), like Guseva. Others have Ballet pivots (generaly ukranian) like Bessonova or Shurkal. And those gymnasts that aren't very flexible make cossack pivots often (Colino, Orlando). Peycheva has good pivots too! |
