The highest-placing teams from compulsories compete in
the last session
of optionals. I don't know how compulsories will be
scheduled, since
they switched back to teams
competing together in Dortmund (IMHO a
mistake --
now entire teams will be stuck with lousy early-session scores,
instead of spreading the lousy scores around to all the
teams).

Spanish translation opportunity
This is from the forum on USAGO!:
Hola amigos! !Requiero ayuda!
USA
Gymnastics is going to offer a version of _Technique_ magazine in
the Spanish language. The current plan is to offer this
publication on
a quarterly basis.
This
will be provided to Spanish speaking countries as well as made
available to USAG Spanish speaking members in the U.S.
USAG
will provide space in the publication for "official" information
and notices from the Pan American Gymnastics Union
(PAGU).
I need to find someone willing to work on this project who is fluent in
Spanish and fully familiar with
gymnastics terminology who can:
>
assist in translating previously published
_Technique_
articles,
>
assist in the preparation of PAGU information
(this will
already be in Spanish, but will need to be typed into
MSW),
and
> proof-read
final layouts before we take each issue to print.
I am seeking someone
fluent in Spanish and fully familiar with
gymnastics
terminology. This person can work from home, but the
following
considerations are important:
1. Access to a fax machine
2.
Ability to provide fully formatted text files in Microsoft
Word including all appropriate
accents that can be "placed"
directly
into Pagemaker for layout. (These can be sent on
diskette
or uploaded on Delphi.)
3. Willingness to work on this project in a timely
manner to
meet publication deadlines.
USAG will pay for this
assistance.
If YOU are interested (or know someone who might be
qualified) please
fax (371-237-5069), email
(Delphi address: USGF; Internet address:
USGF@delphi.com), or snail-mail
(USGF, Pan American Plaza, Suite 300,
201 S. Capitol, Indianapolis, IN 46225) the
requested information to
Steve Whitlock.
You can address telephone
inquires to Steve Whitlock, 317-237-5050 x 236.
Please include the
following information:
1. Resume
2. Proposed translation fees for:
> Translating various
articles
(English->Spanish and Spanish->English)
> Inputting (typing) Spanish
documents into Microsoft Word
documents.
> Proofreading
3. Other considerations...
NOTE:
For those who make my final selection list, I will ask that you
provide a sample translation of an article that I
provide.
Gracias!
Steve Whitlock

Bits:
====
- I thought overall
the scorings were quite harsh, especially since the
scores have
been escalating in recent meets. But anyway the placings
were about
right.
- The young Russian Evgeni Podgorni had an interesting dismount off the
parallel bars:
a double front salto with half-twist. He only got
9.275
for
his efforts though.
- Vitaly Schebo was visibly struggling throughout the meet, a few
steps
off
the dismount on the parallel bars today, although he did quite well
on the high
bar.
- Sergei Kharkov was unexpectedly here, but only on the parallel
bars.
- When Rustam Charipov
was on the parallel bars, his coach was there
actually
holding one end of the bars for him WHILE HE IS PERFORMING.
I thought that is not allowed? (Or at
least a deduction?) He won the
event in the end.
- Evgeni Chabaev continued his poor
meet, finishing last on the vault when
he saw down on
his second attempt. He was fifth in the high bar though.
- Dina Kochetkova still had her right ankle bandaged and she again
landed
on
her knees in her final tumble on floor (full-in back-out). Dina is a
redhead this
time and Oksana Fabrichnova was a blonde with long
curly
hair.
Oksana seems to be in much better form than in recent times, she
was actually
smiling in the middle of her floor routine.
- Liliya
Podkopayeva looked much fitter than last month and
duly won the
floor event, although there was still not much choreography
in it IMHO.
She fell off the
beam in her "Korbut" though (I know there
are
discussions
that Olga wasn't actually the first one who did that but you
know which move
I mean!).
Ta-ra folks!

Supersport
If anyone is interested, Mary Lou
Retton is featured in this Sunday's Mini
Page (a children's insert in many newspapers). They frequently have
gymnasts--I can recall Dominique Dawes and Michelle Campi as two who have
been in
it.

Olympic time schedule
I know this is early, but does anyone know if
NBC will broadcast the Atlanta
Olympics live? I guess this depends on what time
competitions will take
place, but I just wanted to
know whether I'm going to have to avoid other
networks
who release results before events are televised.

Subject:
Li's Vault?
I wondered it anyone knew what Li Xiaoshuang's
first vault was at the '94
worlds in the event
final. His second vault was so beautiful (handspring
full
twist front pike) but under-rotated and I know he got a 9.7 for his
first so I was curious what it was. They chose to only show
the vault he
struggled with on TV in the U.S.
Also,
perhaps Sherwin can answer something for me since he just saw Scherbo
perform. Do you know
it he did his new release move on HB that he's talked
about?
In an interview last fall he mentioned some spectacular move that
nobody had ever done before and he had mastered it. I have
no idea what it
is and perhaps someone can shed
some light on the subject.
Thanks,
Orion

dream team
Now that tickets are available for Atlanta, I thought it
might be
fun to start speculating on who we each
think would make the best
U.S. team (I think about this many nights when
I'm having insomnia :-))
So *my* dream team, as of now, would be
made up of be following gymnasts:
send
Shannon
Miller
Kim Zmeskal
Dominique Dawes
Amanda
Borden
Dominique Moceanu
Jennie Thompson
Doni Thompson
So what do y' all think?

Kiki
P.S. I just found this list a few weeks ago and I'm
*thrilled*! I had no
clue there were so many of us hard-core gym fans! BTW, does anyone know
when tickets for the Olympic trials will be available? I live in the
Boston area and can't
wait...
