I
believe Mukhina injured herself on what Kurt Thomas
invented. He was the
first to perform it at worlds (in 1978?)

Re: AOL - Gymn Videos
For all AOLers -
You can find some
gymnastics videos to download in the sports part of
AOL. When you get to sports, click on the
button ABC Sports, then the Stuff
button, then
under "Video Flix" or something
similar. The videos I have
found (Miller vaulting, part of Korbut's
bar routine, and Comaneci's rnd off,
ff, 1 1/2 twist to double twist
pass) are under Women in Sports. I
didn't
find any more, but there could be some.

Women's Optionals Olympic Trials Ticket
I have one ticket to the Women's Optionals Olympic Trials (Sunday might) to
sell. It's
second level, center, I think the 12th row (I don't have it on me
right now). If
anyone is interested, please e-mail me privately. Happy
Mother's Day!

US Cable tv alert (for Sat 5/18)- Milosovici
featured
I spotted the following in my newspaper's tv update for the coming week
and
didn't think I'd seen it mentioned here before, so:
On Saturday, May
18, at 10 pm Eastern time, the Learning Channel will be
broadcasting
a one-hour show entitled "Peak Performance"; this episode,
the 2d of 3, features "[t]he training program of
Romanian gymnast
Lavinia Milosovici;
swimmer Mark Foster's diving techniques."
(summary
from the Wash. Post). The schedule
says it's a repeat, but I
don't know when the
original was shown. The schedule
also lists an
episode to be broadcast at 1 am that
night (Sunday morning), but it
doesn't indicate whether
it's the same episode or a different one.

MAG Illinois High School State Team Champs
Hello to all and happy
mother's day!
A report on the Illinois High School
State Boys Gymnastics championship.
Glenbard
West High School's boys gymnastics team won its first
state gymnastics
title since 1983 and sophomore phenom Josh Levin (also of Glenbard
West) won the
all-around title.
The Glenbard West team (also known as the *Hilltoppers*
because the high school
is located on top of a
hill near downtown Glen Ellyn) was the meet favorite and
lived
up to expectations during the first three events. However, mistakes on
vault brought the team a little closer to *ground level.*
The team ended up with
a score of 159.40, which was 3.50 points ahead of second
place
Homewood-Flossmoor. The Hilltopper's best
event was rings, with three members of
the squad
qualifying for event finals (Josh Levin, Ted Holub,
and Joe Kermond).
The Hilltoppers first place effort was headed by sophomore Josh
Levin. Josh won
the all-around with a total
of 56.10. His top event in team
competition was
pommel horse, with an incredible
score of 9.95. (And, if you saw my post on
Saturday night, you know he did
even better in event finals with a perfect 10.)
Josh ended up qualifying
for five event finals.
The coach for Glenbard
West is Steve Kafka.
Team Scores:
1. Glenbard
West 159.40
2. Homewood Flossmoor 155.90

154.45
4. Downers Grove North 152.75
5. Conant 150.50
Addison Trail
147.45
Libertyville 146.35
Glenbrook South 145.25
All-Around:
1.
Josh Levin (Glenbard West)
2. S. Johnson (St.
Rita)
3. Tim Dehr (Hinsdale Central)
4. Feinglass (New Trier)
5. Hartman (Homewood
Flossmoor)
6. Goldstein (Conant)

PS. You can
actually see Glenbard West high school in the 1986
movie Lucas. It
is a good movie to rent if you
haven't seen it and features a young Charlie
Sheen.

Introduction
Hello to all,
Having seen all of the
introductions and having had quite a few people on the
forum
make mistakes concerning my first name, I thought I better get my own
introduction out there.
I am a MALE from the
Chicago suburbs and am employed in the area of technical
writing.
Excuse my all caps there, but when some have responded to my posts they
make comments like *young lady*
I am mostly a
gymnastics fan. I did a little in gymnastics as a kid, but lost
interest. However, around 1991-92 I rediscovered this sport
and have been a fan
ever since. I admit I actually
ordered the Olympics Triple-Cast in 1992 and did
so
primarily to watch and record the gymnastics. I mostly watch the
international scene.
I am still learning about this
sport and appreciate posts that explain the
routines
or the elements that make up a routine.
For the men gymnastics I enjoy
the work of Ivankov, Scherbo,
Nemov, Kosiak,
Waller, Blaine Wilson.
For the women, I enjoy Strugg, Dawes, Boguinskaya.
Well,
I am sure that is more than enough information about myself. Back to
concentrating on this great sport.
(Mr.) Dana

Popa's UB mount
Now
that I have finally gotten to see extended coverage of 1987
worlds, I have a question regarding the uneven bar mount
performed by
Romanian Celestina Popa. From the
board, she did a straddle front salto
over the low bar to an eagle grip hang on low bar. After gliding
backwards,
she hopped to an overgrip and then went into a kip. This was
a
really neat looking mount, and I wanted to know a) is this credited to
her in the code (I recall IG saying that she, and I think
one other
gymnast in Rotterdam also used this
mount) and b) what is it worth?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can give me
answer.
Chris.
