TRIVIA Clarification (Please Read)
Gymn,
I
have received some private e-mail in which the individuals thought that
the
answers posted in error by an individual
yesterday were the official answers.
No they were not. That was just an error by the individual
who sent them in.
Please
continue to send in your entries.
The cutoff is 8AM EST Saturday!
:-)

American Classic
Does anybody have any information about the American Classic which is to be
held in
Tulsa, OK in February. Is it part
of the Olympic qualifying meets
for the USA.

November IG
I just got my November IG and I wanted to hear if other gymners are
starting to get
disenchanted. I love IG and I am
always thrilled
when it arrives, but lately I have
been thinking they should just
change their name
to AMERICAN Gymnast, because it's almost all they
cover
anymore. There are huge, multi-page
articles on American
gymnasts and American meets,
and then only little box scores on the
International meets.
I
don't want to bash IG, because even if their coverage is too
US-centered,
it's still excellent information. I
am just wondering
why they can't have better
sources or at least contacts in other
countries if
they want to truly have international coverage. I guess
my
other gripe is that the last several issues have had quite a bit
of Moceanu in them. Seeing as this gymnast just recently
made an
international name for herself, I'm not
sure why she keeps gracing
their cover. Also, I was happy to see the lovely
picture of Jaycie
on the
cover, but there was no accompanying article, so I'm not sure
why she was on the cover either.
What do all of you
think?

P.S. Kudos to Adriana Duffy for being the most
memorable interview!
I believe it!

Birmingham Classics
This is especially for the British Gymners out there. This year's
Birmingham Classic
artistic meet due to be held in December was
cancelled
due to lack of sponsor. (Sorry I've known this for some
time
but was always hoping that a sponsor may crop up... but no luck)
Meanwhile
there is an European Juniors Qualifying meet to be
held
in Guildford on 11th November. This is a
junior women meet including
teams from Russia,
Britain, Germany, Poland, Finland, Iceland and
Sweden. The top two teams
qualify for the European Juniors team final
to be
held in Belgium in December. Tickets can be obtained from the
Guildford
Spectrum at (01483)444777.

Re: November IG
I think it was great that Jaycie
made the cover -- she did make the team
even
though she was injured for Trials, so she received coverage of her
accomplishments despite the injury.
1st article is US
2nd article in international 5/8 pictures are internationl.
small article on
pg.31 is on US women in Japan - University Games
pg 32 scores from international meets (maybe someone
from GYMN went to ones
of these and would like to
comment on them, I know I heard about Hapoel
Games
second hand from Danny Akerman (gymnast) and don't
feel that I can
"report" on it.
3rd
article US gym (in light of the Little Girls in Pretty Boxes kinda a
good light being shown
on US women's gym.
Accomplishments of people associated with IG
4th
article International - Tatiana Lisenko from
Ukraine
-----
as far as major articles go
-- that is not a bad balance for them not having
anyone
on the staff that lives anywhere but the US.
Maybe with the change in
location and owner there may be money for an
international
reporter, but right now -- they are trying to keep the balance.
