for UKR men's fans
For fans of the Ukrainian
men, I found out yesterday who will be on the
Sabae
team. It's not set in stone yet, but these were the names I was told:
Korobchinsky, Misyutin, Sharipov, Yermakov, Shamenko and Svetlichny. The
7th
spot has not been determined. It is between
Oleg Kosyak and Andrei
Stepanchenko.
Yes, I know that makes NO sense, since Oleg is an EXCELLENT
gymnast and Stepanchenko, well...
I mean Ukraine didn't even compete him AA in
the
dual meet, where Oleg was 3rd. But the person who gave me all this info
was
Oleg himself, so I'd say the source is reliable! Seems to me there must
be a
lot of politics in picking teams in UKR, just
like everywhere else... Oleg said
he'd know in a
few days whether he got the final slot (personally, I'd put him
ahead of Yermakov, Shamenko and Svetlichny, but what
do I know?). He told me to
call him back next
Saturday and he'd tell me the final decision. If it's good
news, I'll ask him about the women. I didn't want to ask TOO
much about Japan
while his status is up in the
air.
BTW, he
told me he wants to move to the US and attend college here after
Atlanta
(i.e. next September), and is very worried about passing the entrance
exam. So he's still busily teaching himself English. :) He
also LOVED the NBC
coverage of the dual meet (he was
shown 5 times!) and I think he showed it to
his
whole family. He said "everyone" watched it, but didn't specify
exactly who
"everyone" was. Anyway, he
was just charming and very sweet, and if they don't
put
him on the team I may be forced to commit hari-kari!

1995 AEON Cup RSG
Here are results courtesy of a penpal
in Japan. As you can see, this
is
quite a high level meet. Teams are composed of two seniors and
one junior.
Some names may be a little weird, particularly the juniors
(most of which
I don't recognize).
Going from Russian to Japanese to English, something's
bound to be off!

Re: OLYMPIC PREVIEW--perspective
Whew. I'm glad someone else is in the
crossfire this time. One thing
I've
learned from GYMN is that it IS hard to
remember, as a USA citizen, that the
Internet is Worldwide.
It is
also clear that many non-US citizens are very sensitive about the
amount of attention and media focus that US athletes
get. It seems to be a
lot like NCAA gymnastics vs. NCAA football. No matter how big the gymnastics
accomplishment, it'll be buried next to the *XXX* personals
while the
football team will have front page
superscript and a third of the sports
section if
the events both occur on the same day.
The other thing I've learned is
to focus a complaint that has personal
considerations
directly and only to the person in question. I screwed up
once
and sent it to the GYMN list and my rear is still smoking. If you feel
that
way too, Svetlana, you've got company!

Re: Ilse Roets
Helen,
your post on Ilse Roets was
inspirational. This is the type of
story
that should make a great "up close and
personal" if she performs in the
Olympics. Perhaps someone on GYMN has connections
with the media that will
be doing background work
for the Olympic Games. They should
be contacted and
advanced on this story.

World Trials
Sorry if this question was already answered (my mail has been
down for almost two days) why did Jaycie
Phelps pull out of trials?
And did anyone post what went on during the womens competition?
Thanks,
Lori

Lets talk about JUDGES
How does the FIG (or the USGF) help to stop
judge bias? Are the same
judges used at the big
meets (in US: Nationals and World/Olympic trials and
Internationally:
Olympics, Worlds, Goodwill, now defunct world
cup)?
What precautions are made to prevent judges who like only certain
styles
of performance or only certain gymnasts
from being
biased (either way) and having it
reflected in the scoring. I think it was
Rachele
who commented that Monceanu was over scored on VAULT
compulsories
in both NATIONALS and Worlds. Perhaps
she is just liked by the same
judges on that
event.
