Betty Okino is of Olympic fame; she has a bronze medal from 1992. A back injury ended her competition career after the '92 Olympics, but she was still doing extreme jumps in the 1997 show. She's a very talented gymnast. A nice biography of Betty can be seen on this link to Jennifer Isbister's web site, and you will learn about Betty Okino the actress too.

These pictures below show Betty in what we called the "bird of the forest" costume. The action is throwing the loose ends around.

Betty is tall (on a gymnast's scale), and moves like a dancer. Strong, fast and very graceful on the stage.

Sadly, the 1997 show may have been one of Betty Okino's last gymnastic performances.
