My apologies for the lack of posts recently. I have been completely consumed revamping my website for work. Now that it’s pretty much up and running, I’m back in action here on p10.
So my all-time favorite Bar Worker… It’s a toss up. I’m having a much harder time choosing one with Bars. Beam was no contest. But I keep thinking of so many incredible Bar workers. So I decided to make this a Top Ten list. In no particular order…
- Tatiana Lisenko, UKR - Great rhythm
- Nadia Comaneci, ROM - Beautiful form
- Jamie Danztscher, USA - Incredible swing
- Ma Yanhong, CHN - Lines & fluid swing
- Kristy Powell, USA - Big air
- Ling Jie, CHN - Unbelievable pirouetting
- Olga Korbut, BLR - Wow factor
- Nastia Liukin, USA - Swing, lines, amplitude
- Svetlana Khorkina, RUS - Innovation & swing
- Elise Ray, USA - Graceful
As usual, I have seen more American Bar Workers than those from other countries. Who have I missed? Who would you add to this list? Does anyone stand out to you as the number one Bar Worker of all time?

Natalia Shaposhnikova, RUS
Julianne McNamara, USA
Yvonne Tousek, CAN
To name a few …
Khorkina is the greatest of all-time, no question.

khorkina’s definitely the greatest bar worker ever… li ya is stunning but horribly inconsistent… yarotska had the best endos… how about davydova who was the first woman to do a tkatchev and giant?
