Superstars of Gymnastics
So, what did everyone think of the
"Superstars of Gymnastics" show last
night? It took me a little while to get into
it, but all in all, it was
pretty good. I think it would have been better to see
it in person--the
camera kept zooming in on only
one person at a time, so it was really hard to
appreciate
all of the group performances. It
would be neat if they had a
special mat for these
shows--dancing and doing theme productions on the blue
mat
with the big white line around it doesn't look too good. I also could
have
done without the half-naked dancing women, but that is just me!
The
highlight of the show was FINALLY getting to see crowd favorite Kim
Zmeskal perform again!
She looked excellent, although she seemed a little
nervous. I love
her new floor--very mature and fun.
I hope she'll stay
healthy so she can
compete at Nationals.
By the way, where was Betty Okino? I was surprised she wasn't there.

Kim is going to twist her double layout, her 3 whip

And I also heard

Arabian double front on floor????

Kurt
Thomas said he thinks Kim will probably twist those moves, but he
didn't say why he thought that so he may be guessing. I
don't know if this
is where you heard it, but I
heard him say that during the broadcast.
I've seen Svetlana's Arabian
double front and it's beautiful, even though
she
sat it down when I saw it. This was months ago but I don't remember
which competition.

Superstars of Gymnastics
In
April, I had the chance to go and see the Superstars in person in
Philadelphia. The event was very interesting. Svetlana had lost very
little considering her age, and time off from intensive
gymnastics. Kim
Zmeskal had the most crowd support of any of the gymnasts
there. She looked
like she was really enjoying herself. Yes, there was much talk about her
comeback. Other points of note.
The Romanian women (Milosivich, Gogean,
& Hatagan) looked
awful. They said that they had just
arrived, and were
still experiencing the effects
of it. They all looked very
tired. This
event
gave me another chance to look at Dominique Moceanu,
who I believe
will be great in Atlanta 1996. Her gymnastics were still pretty
impressive even this was an exhibition.
As
for the event itself, it ran TOO long.
There was too much non-
gymnastic
happening. I did enjoy the
relaxation of the event. The
gymnasts and the audience were having a great time. Finally they had
floor
seating that allowed you to be very close to the gymansts
performing.
This was very nice!
I have not had time to watch the TV presentation
yet,
but I probably will pop in the VCR this weekend.

World Team Trials
Anybody have any information about the World Team Trials. I know
they
are going to be held September 8 and 9 in Austin, TX. I have a free
weekend,
and would like to go. Any
information (times, ticket info)
would be
wonderful.

Omelianchik Gossip
This is from a friend of
a friend (Nora Schuler/GER) who visited
Oksana Omelianchik's Kiev home back in March/April'95. Some
of this
may have already been common
knowledge:
"The Omelianchik house is
situated in a military complex with lots
of gates
and fences around it. Oky's husband graduated from
a
military academy and has a temporary job in
Moscow (where his
parents live). Usually the Omelianchik house (3-room flat) contains
Omy, Dima (husband), Nastya (daughter) and Oky's mum,
brother,
sister and gran. Her sister, Tanya, is a
sports acrobat (women's
pairs) and apparently
looks like Oky, but darker, she trains 3-4
hours a day. Her brother, Dima,
who (as all _IG_ readers will know)
is very ill,
due to Chernobyl. His trip to Japan didn't help, and
he's
now become withdrawn and short-tempered."

Gymnastrada '95
The 10th World Gymnastrada had just taken place in Berlin, Germany, from
the
9th to 15th July, 1995. Tens of thousands of
gymnasts took part in this
fabulous event, which
was quite a treat for spectators. As usual the opening
and
closing ceremonies were very colourful and eventful
as the Berlin Olympic
Stadium was swarmed with people all performing their
bit to make this a
memorable event.
The
best show of the week had to be the FIG Gala which took place in the
indoor Mommsen Stadium, where gymnasts from different
countries and backgrounds
performed and
represented their different cultures through gymnastics. It was
a delight to see all five continents being well portrayed by
some very
fascinating and also distinctively
characteristic routines. Generally the
performances
were all well choreographed and rehearsed, and the FIG must be very
pleased by the standards of this event to make it an overall
success.

Boston, MIT, open gym
Someone, about 2 months ago, told me about a gym
at MIT where I could come
to work out in the
afternoons. I have since lost the
information about
this, and was wondering if
anyone could fill me in. Thanks,
and sorry it's
only relevant to some of us (Boston
area).

Gymnastically

Actually,
Lanna Apiskuh was the 1992
Junior National Champion, but I think
Anne won either the
US or American Classic that year.
