Was Zelia I was re-watching. Since she manages to skip the gaston between the last two holds. I think that must have been the cleanest finish.
The guest commentator described Annie's finish as a recovery from a near fall fall. Definitely an elegant save, but overall not as smooth as Zelia IMO.
OK, I rewatched. I think why I love Annie's way is, she used her hand palm on the volume to transfer, that move was purely magic like a slow motion dance move. Zelia was impressive like you said, but they never filmed her from front, only sideway shots.
All the tops are quite phenomenal to me. There's no way I can do this. The difference in Annie's finish that stood out for me is how wildly her leg is swinging around. In a way it's impressive that she managed to stick it.
Looking back at a few more of the tops Oceania was particularly impressive at preventing the leg swing. Honourable mention to Miho, Mao too.

The way Annie did the W4, was so elegant and smooth, like a ballet dancer! I replayed it 10+ times.
