		Winner of the all-around gold medal at the 1980 Olympics, Russia's Yelena Davydova is perhaps worthy of more recognition than she achieved at those Moscow Games, which were largely under-reported due to a boycott by several Western nations.
		Davydova's narrow victory there over defending Olympic champion Nadia Comaneci was the apex of a career that almost included an Olympic berth four years prior, and almost a world all-around title a year later.
		Davydova was not on the Soviet team that lost the '79 world championships to Romania, but emerged as her team's frontrunner in 1980 by winning the USSR Cup.

		Yelena attempted alone to be enrolled in Voronezh's famous Spartak Gymnastics school, yet was turned away, as she was very small, and considered at the time to have the wrong physique for the sport.
		In December of '76, Yelena finished 3rd AA at the Chunichi Cup in Japan, and won a gold on vault and a bronze on floor at the Tokyo Cup.
		Indeed, Yelena advanced the difficulty of gymnastics through the introduction of her moves, and is one of a select few to have introduced a new move and/or trend on each piece of apparatus.
