>From the AP:

1. CHN     566.619
2. JPN     563.558
3. ROM     561.947
4. RUS     560.971
5. UKR     560.934

9. USA     558.784

The US had many mistakes and falls (obviously).  John Roethlisberger said,
"We can't be too hard on ourselves."  UKR was "depleted by injuries", but
CHN was spectacular.

I'm glad that Japan and Romania (!) did so well.

This is pretty disappointing.  I had hoped that the US guys would be able to
challenge for a medal, or at least place in the top 5.

Compuserve's Reuters section has photos from Sabae, but you need to have

Yes, I too was rather shocked to see that the US men fell from
third to ninth,but after looking at the scores, they were close to
7th (less than 0.2!!!). They could have finished in the next
highest group (2.0 pts ahead, 4-6th), but they may have had problems.
Lets just say that had the USSR still been one country, the US
would have been closer to the top. The break up hurts them
alot, but they still could get closer to the medals in Atlanta.


Women's Team:

What the HECK has happened in the Czech Republic? Are they going
backwards? What ever happened to the country which gave us
Vera, Hana Ricna, and Vera Cerna? I can't believe that the break
up of that country has affected its gymnastics so much. It
just blows my mind. Does Slovakia have a team now?

Hi!  I wrote to Michelle Campi, who is going to be doing gymnastics at the
UW and she said that she is doing beam for sure and maybe floor and/or
vault.  She said that her back is still healing but is feeling great.  I
also invited her to join Gymn, so we might be able to add her to that list
(or non existent list??) of famous people.  :)  Just thought that I would
let you guys know.  Bye.

I know this doesn't have a whole lot to do with gymnastics, but I have been
trying to get internet access so that I can look up some more gymnastics
informtion. I only have AOL now, and it is so limited. I am not currently at
a university and my job doesn't have anything. Does anyone know of a service
I could use to get a single account?
Thanks,

Actually, 9th is pretty good since a week and a half ago everyone was
wondering if the US men were good enough to even finish in the top
12!  Obviously it is disappointing after being in 3rd after comps.,
but 9th is okay.

The same can be said re: Germany.  Remember, it was only a few years ago that
the East German women were always present on the team victory podium. The
unification has definately had an effect on their womens' program.

And Bulgaria!!

'Nuff said.

Subject: Men's World Trials

I really enjoyed the coverage of the Men s World Trials on ESPN.  I thought
it was much more thorough than the Women s Trials, but I wish they would have
shown a little bit more of Jair Lynch and Mihai Bagiu.  I was especially
inpressed with John R s floor ex routine - - great form on the double
twisting double back and what an easy full in at the end of the exercise!
 Maybe he can make floor finals in Sabae.

It was really kind of ironic listed to Fred Rothlisberger say that there was
no way the U.S. would make the top 6 this year.  Unfortunately, today his
predictions turned out to be right - : (   What happened?!?  - but, at the
time of the broadcast they were sitting in the top 3.  It seemed from the
piece on the status of the men s team that the program is moving in the right
direction.  Any other opinions??  I really liked Peter Korman s statement
about how the guys are EXPECTED to hit their routines!  Have they ever named
a Men s Olympic coach this early before?

I thought that there was some pretty strong commentary from both Bart Conner
and Kurt Thomas on the men s team....they sounded pretty exasperated!  I
couldn t believe Bart s comments on Steve McCain.  Among other things, he
said that Steve s career was a "huge disappointment" and that Steve "was very
quick to make excuses about his mistakes" and that the other U.S. guys
couldn t really count on him to hit his routines! Given Steve s
inconsistencies, I think he has a good point, but I was just kind of shocked
because that s pretty uncharacteristic of Bart.

Unless, of course, you're and old woman who no longer has flexible
