Hi gymn-ers!
Hey! This is my
"introduction" to the forum as requested. My name is
Rebecca (Bex/Becky), I'm 19 and a student of German at
Birmingham
University, UK. Obviously I'm into
gymnastics (!), but as
a coach now - I teach
littlies (both boys and girls, aged 3-10) basic
gym
skills on floor and vault in a non-competitive environment at our
local leisure centre back
home. I'm hoping to take the next
level of
coaching exam over the summer and maybe
get into some coaching at a
more competitive level
at a club here in Brum. I also still do gym
from time to time - we have a great new facility at the
university -
but I gave up serious training when I
was 8. I'm a little rusty
these
days! Looking forward to reading what you
all have to say ..

Introduction
Good
Morning from Oklahoma!
My name is Ligia and I don't know why I am still
involved with gymnastics. My son quit the sport last
December
(1994) after 10 years of competitive
gymnastics.
By
the time my son quit, I did a lot of volunteer work at his
gym, and I'm still doing it. From computer data entry
for
meets, to training parents on how to use the computer
during
the meets, to writing software systems for the gym, ...
Never
ending.
Through the years, I learned a lot about gymnastics, mostly
men's. I learned to enjoy the sport with a little more
depth
than a regular spectator, and I still enjoy the sport.
For
a while I could've judge compulsory boys (I passed the
judges test), but my strengh has
always been in organization
of meets and training of parent volunteers. The Bart
Conner
Gymnastics Academy has some of the best run
meets that I've
ever been at, and I have been to many. From the 1992
Olympics
in Barcelona, to Junior Nationals, to Oklahoma's Judges
Cup
(womens), to just simple and small
pre-season meets.
Well, That is my introduction. And if I can be of any help,
just drop me a line (or two)!
Happy Memorial Weekend!!!
Ligia.

Olympics
If anyone tapes the Jr. Olympic Women's Championships, please
let me
know.
I would very much like a copy of the tape and would pay for a
tape (or send one of my own) and would pay you for your
time. Some
local
gymnasts competed and I would very much like to see the
competition.
Thanks,
--Brent

JO Nationals
Well, The 1995 Junior Olympic National Gymnastics
Championships were on
Sports Channel last night, so I thought I'd post my
impressions. I thought
maybe some of you would be interested.

Rollins
8) Nicole Lyme
The
show was highlights of the event finals, with everyone's favorite
commentators, John Naber and Maura
Driscoll!!! A lot of top clubs were
there
with there young stars: Karolyi's, Dymnamo, Cyprass, Cincinnati,
etc. The
commercial
breaks had a new commercial featuring Bart and Nadia for York
furnaces. One
really dumb thing was that they flashed back to the 1994
Olympic Festival
using Shannon Miller's 1993 win! I
guess Doni Thompson
isn't
a big enough name for them!

Andrea Dachille, 11, from Ohio is a tiny, pale little girl with a
long blond
poonytail,
but she just exploded down the runway to win vault, first a
hankspring front pike, the front
double tuck.

3) Cheryl Lancaster
3) Sarah Meisberger
I
was impressed with the girl's poise on beam. There was a lot of leaping
(sheep jumps).
When Manillia opened with a reverse planche, Nabor
brilliantly exclaimed, " That's the Kim Zmeskal pose!)

Brandy Killian
Rankin,
12, from Karolyi's showed mature dance and her middle
pass was 3
whips to a double twist (Nabor: "That's a Kim Zmeskal
routine!")
Lyme, 12, from Cincinnati has Amanda Borden's smile and
energy and ended with
a triple twist. Driscoll intervied
her afterwards and after saying she'd
"just
went out and did the best I could", Driscoll asked her how going up
last affected her performance, and she said with a liitle annoyance, "It
didn't,
because I just said I went out and did the best I could!" It was
pretty
cute!
Rice, 13, from Brown's Central, is coached by her
mom, Joan Rice (now has new
last name) from
the '72 Olympics. She opened with a
whip to 2 1/2 twist, and
ended with a triple
full.
There were more commercials than routines, but it was an
interesting look
into the future. The levle of
difficulty was great, as well as the athletes'
composure!

Re: Junior Olympics
I
watched the Junior Olympics last night but forget the results. I'll post
them later. Everyone looked good! Especially the 11-13 year
olds. All the
girls were level 10 and had to
qualify from regionals only US gymnasts
competed.
Mara Driscal one of the comintators
kept calling a geinger a
delchev. It got really annoying especially since she
said she had trained
with Muriel Grossovelt and should know her stuff.
Thats ALL!

Bart and Nadia
If anyone say the J.O.
Championships, did you see the Bart and Nadia
commericial for York heating? It was really stupid. They were wearing York
leos and did these tricks.
Just
to let you know :)

Since ytou are only 13 I will not use the ENTIRE force of my
flamethrower
on you...
Go easy on the
caps key when you post.
Since we can only type here here,
we can not see the expression on someones
face, hear the inflection of their words, see their body
language,
we must use certain shorthand methods of
expression.
Use of cap letters is the equivalent of shouting.
Now
you WOULD'NT do that WOULD you ?
I didnt THINK so !
(Maniacal
laughter)
You should consider yourself fortunate in that this is
likely the most polite
and gentle flaming Ive nailed anyone with this year !
(more laughter)
So enjoy surfing the net !
By the way.... perspiring minds want to
know...
Who IS "Mr Pinto"
?
