. Here's how she does it: she has several skills in her routine of a very high level difficulty, a laid out full, a G element, worth .7 and she dismounts with a triple twist, an F element worth .6. That's not really how she get's such a high start value. Olessia get's much of her start value from connections. She gains a total of .7 in connection bonus. She connects a forward aerial walkover to two layout step outs (D+C+C), worth .4 in connections and series bonus. D+C = .2, C+C = .1 + Series Bonus = .1. She connects her laid out full to a round-off, B+G = .2.
