Waiting for These Elements to Magically Appear in New Routines

Fans, I have some of the more spectacular apparatus difficulties from the not-so-distant past that I would really like see performed once more. Some of these are signature elements that I haven't seen for over 10 years now. In Diana Popova's case, the elegant ball catch where she is spinning her back has not been done since the mid-1990s. Filipa Siderova and Lyubomira Vasileva who are shown with ball both trained with Mariana Vassileva who has since moved on to working with the Azeri team.
