Back to 2005 Worlds, who should have won AA? Chellsie or Nastia? They were only 0.001 apart. I sort of loves that Worlds because it was sort of a reprieve from the 2004 games with Cheng Fei getting her due somewhat (though she missed out on FX finals as she underperformed there).
I attended that event, and there was so little to separate Memmel and Liukin. Chellsie was a powerhouse and Natasia was a ballerina. They were both wonderful. The stand-out memory for me was seeing Australia grab its first individual all-around medal, when Monette Russo won bronze. It was an electrifying moment.
