UK TV
Hi all
I don't know for certain about this, but last
night I caught a
trailer for a programme
on C4 which may well be digging up The Book-
style
controversy. The trailer seemed to
give examples of bad
sporting practices - this
lad's been made to leave school to get a
soccer
apprenticeship kind of thing - and there was a shot of a
young
girl gymnast with the voiceover "she's been told to lose
weight to succeed", or something along those
lines. From its
appearance it looks like it's going to be a series - the
episode they
advertised is on Monday at 8pm, and
had a soccer title.
Has anyone else heard anything about this? And
have there been others
in the series that I've
missed? It may be worth checking out Monday's
to
find out more about its angle, and whether they're doing all the
sports shown in the trailer in one programme.

Endo Receives Medal of Honor
The following (severely edited) appeared
on the Kyodo news wire last week.
"The recipients of a Medal (of
Honor) with Purple Ribbon, which is awarded
for
contributions to education and culture, includes . . . gymnast Yukio
Endo, 59, who
led the Japanese men's team to the gold medal in three
consecutive
Olympic Games.
Emperor Akihito will meet the recipients in audiences
on May 14-15."

Re: Romanian floor music
Not to dig up a controversy or anything, but
to raise the question,
which is more important,
difficult tumbling or adequate tumbling
and
terrific choreography? For what it is worth, I think Szabo
deserved the gold, but there are other example over the
years where
a tumbler has overtaken better
dance.

Womens Euros tickets for sale (cheap!)
Sorry
this is not entirely "news" or "info" but I have a couple
of
tickets for the womens
Europeans to be held in Birmingham, England,
for
sale... they are tickets for 19th May, 1996 Saturday only
where the seniors and juniors AA will be held. I bought them
for
myself originally but it turned out that I
don't need them...
they are in block 5 (between
floor and bars I think, according to
the layout map)
and row F (so should be quite near the front?).
The prices that I bought
them for were 52 pounds for two, but
I'm willing to sell them for 30 pounds
since it's such short notice.
Please contact me if you're interested (or
more likely, please
HELP!). Email or phone (01895)270499.
Thank
you.

Re-intro...
Hi all!!!
I'm probably the last person to do my
re-intro. Sorry.=) My name is
Nicole but I prefer to be
called Nikki. I'm 18 years old and
I'm a
freshwoman at
Marymount College. My major is
foods and nutrition and
I hope to become a registered dietitian as well as
an athletic
trainer who specializes in
nutrition. I did gymnastics for 11
years
and last year was my last year
competing. I REALLY MISS
IT!!!! I
coached
a level 5 team for a while but now I'm teaching recreational
gymnastics. My
favorite gymnasts are Amanda Borden and John
Rothlisberger. (Oh, I also think Dominique M. is just
*awesome*)!=)
I can't wait for the
Olympics!!!! GO
USA!!!!!!!
Gymnastically,
Nikki =)

TV ALERT re: ESPN men's NCAA coverage
My copy of TV Guide gives the
airtime for ESPN's
coverage of the men's NCAA
championships as
12:30a.m.-2a.m. *Tuesday* morning
5/14 (Eastern time).
I think this is in disagreement with what
was
posted earlier, so check your local listings
for
late Monday night/early Tuesday morning,
depending
on your time zone.
Isn't it
ironic that the men's competition coverage,
with a
90-minute slot on ESPN, will probably have
about
twice as much actual competition in it as
the
network coverage of the women?

The U.S. Classic
To the person who asked the question about who will
be at the U.S. Classic-
Let's just say a lot of people. Dominque Moceanu is supposed to
be there. My
local papers says that "Shannon Miller,
Dominque Dawes, Kerri Strug,
Amy
Chow, Amanda Borden, and a host of other Olympic hopefuls" are
scheduled to
be there.
Well, they are
supposed to be there. Don't bet on it. The word always goes
out that some big name so-and-so is going to be competing
somewhere, and
something happens, and they don't
compete. I remember numerous times in
Atlanta where in several
competitions, several big name athletes were
advertised
by the sponsors and the papers as "going to be there", and they
don't show up.
Also, I haven't heard very much
about the U.S. Classic. It hasn't been
advertised
much. It isn't even scheduled to be televised. Even
the Budget
Invitational was scheduled to be broadcast
by a major network. I remember
the Kodak
Invitational (February 1996, Atlanta) wasn't scheduled on a major
network, but it was telecast on ESPN a few weeks later. So
if all of these
big names are really at these
meet, perhaps ESPN, or SportsSouth, or
somebody will broadcast it.

Somebody please correct me if I'm
wrong, but don't a lot of people *need* to
compete
at this meet to qualify for Nationals and (probably more important
to them) Olympic trials? It seems like a lot of folks skipped the
American
Classic, which was, AFAIK, the only other National qualifying
meet. I'm not
implying that they didn't have valid
reasons for skipping the A.C., but I
thought that
they had to place well at one of these meets to get a spot at
Nationals and Trials.
As I said, correct me if I'm wrong, but if I'm right,
then this should be a loaded meet with a lot on the
line!

Europeans Mens (Day One Team Comp)
Mens European Championships 1996
================================
Copenhagen,
Denmark.
9 - 12 May 1996
(Day One)
Team Competition
----------------
Each
country could have a pool of five gymnasts and three of them
would compete on each piece of apparatus and the total
score
counts.
Belarus the defedning team champions were leading all the way
until
the final rotation when they went on the
high bar, Andrei Kan sat
on
his dismount and Ivan Ivankov fell off his Tkatchev release
move. That
destroyed Belarus's chances of retaining the gold, instead
that went to the Russians who had a team of Karbonenko, Podgorni,
Voropaev, Kharkov and Trusch. (Nemov was nowhere to be found... not
sure
why)It was great to see the Russians back on top again after
their disastrous showing in Sabae
Worlds. Ukraine finished second
(team including Misutin, Charipov, Svetlichny and Kosiak)
whilst
Belarus dropped to third.
1. Russia (RUS) 171.885
2. Ukraine (UKR) 171.285
3. Belarus (BLR) 170.997
4. Germany (GER) 169.848
5. Bulgaria (BUL) 169.435
6. Romania (ROM) 168.037
7. France (FRA) 167.924
8. Italy (ITA) 167.424
-----
15.
Britain (GBR) 162.025
All-Around competition to be held tomorrow. I think Vitali Scherbo
could well be the leading individual gymnast in the team
comp but
I could be wrong.

Hey ya'll!
My name is Dean and I
just got on. I am so excited to
meet people
interested in gymnastics just like
me. Just to tell ya a little bit about
myself: I used to be a gymnast for almost 6
years until I had to have both
feet reconstructed
with surgery, and I have loved the sport forever and no
surgery
will ever change that! I am from
MI, 19, and go to school at Lee
College in Cleveland, TN. I will be at home in MI till
August. Please
don't hesitate to write with any comments or questions. I love Kerri Strug,
she is the all time best, and Shannon Miller is cool
also. There
really
aren't any I dislike but Marinescu made me a bit miffed in her article in
I.G. I like Grigory
Misutin for the guys, and Scherbo
tends to make me a
bit mad at times. I like Chris Waller and Roethlisberger
for the U.S. men,
and the rest aren't too
bad. 1996 will be their year to
shine, GO
U.S.A.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AGF on WWW
Further to my email of 30/4/96, the Australian Gymnastics
Federation home
page is now up and running.
Point
your browser to http://www.ausport.gov.au/gymhome.html
It appears they
still have some work to do on it, but some info is better
than none. There
is also a list of links to the usual gymnastic WWW sites.
I am in the
process of doing my own home page, but am still coming to grips
with HTML.
BTW, has anyone seen the gym pictures
at
http://www.shu.ac.uk/schoold/lfm/lfmcent/sportsdb/gymind/
I
don't seem to be able to access this site and was wondering if it was
worth the trouble.
Remember, like clip art and
fonts, you can never have too many gym pictures
on
your PC!!

An athlete may qualify to participate in the National Championships
