Dominique won a silver on beam in 93 and should
have won the gold.
I think she also may have medaled on the bars and was in
the running for
the 93 and 94 all arounds until the last event.

Despite her numerous, horrible, obvious form breaks
during that routine
for the majority of which the
prescribed code decudtions for form breaks
were not taken?????

Re: GYMN-L Digest - 22 Apr 1996
Hi,
Sherwin send us some
interesting comments about WC in Puerto Rico. About
high
bar comments:
Fedorchenko (kazahstan) recived 9.45 because
his start value is only 9.8.
he
missed combination Kolman (Kovacs salto
with 1/1 turn), quast, quast
what
would give him 0.2 bonus more. He also made a mistake with touching
the
bar while tried to perform eagle.
Carballo did a
new element which is not in the Code of points so it
can be also
named
by him (like Pegan). His element can be described as:
from free hip
circle rearways fwd., straddle
backward over the bar with 1/2 turn to one
arm hang.
Element similar but without a turn can be found in Code under
VI. structural
group, number 5 (E difficulty).
Otherwise Carballo
(Spain) did 3 E and 4 D elements and he deserved title.
In finals the
judging was correct by the Code, but there should be a huge
changes of present Code. Fedorchenko
performed Kovacs salto which is E part
and Kolman salto (Kovach with 1/1
turn) is also E part. There is no more
reason why
not to open up a difficulty to F or G parts.
With best regards to all
you people out there who brought to us almost
on
line the results from Puerto Rico.

My
hatred for my CBS affiliate continues.
Neither meet (Reeses or Budget)
were shown in Western New York.... It was preempted both times
for................ PAID PROGRAMMING....
Does anyone
have an email address so I can express my opinion and try to
find out where I can buy a professional tape
(my overprotective parents won't let me trade with u guys and
I have a
really big gymn
collection too)
While I'm at it, I'm looking for a few new penpals.

Training for young gymnasts
This is my first letter. Since my daughter
is doing gymnastics I am trying
to learn more
about this sport and that's why I subscribed to this list. I
want to be able to appreciate her performances. I'm even
part of the
administrative commitee
of the club... so maybe in a few years I'll be able
to
understand all the technical issues of this list.
My question is
regarding training hours. My daughter is 6 and is doing
gymnastics
for 2 years now. She is training 10 hours a week during winter
and 12 during summer. I will like to know from other parents
and coaches
what is the trend for that age. How
many hours of training in other clubs?
Thank you,

Pae Gil Sue's Olympic Eligibility
Hello,
I
was sure that others had read this in the New York Times as well, but
since
it doesn't seem that way, I will tell you
about the article I read about Pae
Gil Sue. No, he is not eligible for the
Olympics. The North Korean
federation hasn't sent gymnasts to a World Championships
since 1993 (I
think). Since they didn't compete in Sabae, Sue will not be able to compete
in Atlanta. The
reasons given for their absense from Worlds was that
they
didn't have the money and that their country
was in morning for their leader
who died. It also talked about the controversy
with Kim Guang Suk and how
North Korea was banned
from competition for a year. I was wondering, does
anyone know how
old Kim Guang Suk really was at the Olympics?
Hope
this helps,
Liz

Re: Introduction and Oprah
Hi.
I've written a few short posts but never really introduced myself. I'm
17 years old and have been doing
gymnastics for about eight years.
(I quit
when I was eleven and picked it up
again at 14) I quit at age 11 when
I
realized that I wasn't going to be a great star
in the sport :) However, I
started back up again to compete for my high school. It took me a while to
get everything back, but the experience has been
wonderful. I've really been
able to enjoy the sport a lot more than when I was seriously
into it at such
a young age.
Now, this is just
my opinion, and you can flame at will.
I, of course, believe that
gymnastics is a wonderful sport with far more
positives
than negatives. I disagree with the
way Joan Ryan and Oprah
presented the show to act
like all gymnastics at all levels was abusive.
However, no one can deny that SOME abuse
does go on in our sport. Even
if
we are only talking about four or five girls in
the country that are pushed
too hard, or the
pressure is so that they develop an eating disorder, these
are
four or five girls too many! I
don't believe the people on the show were
lying. The public has a right to be aware of
these happenings, and it's
especially concerning
because elite gymnastics is dealing with young girls.
On another note,
Kristie Phillips mentioned something about a kind of support
group that USA gymnastics has set up....and she mentioned
that she wished it
was around when she was doing
gymnastics. What is this? Can someone fill me
in?
Thanks,
Jenny

During
the first press conference of some winners, Jim Barry explained the
situation, as deeply as he could, about the eligibility of
Gil Su Pae. The
FIG, he told, can't admit any
more gymnast to the Olympics by her own
initiative. But the north corean
federation can submit a request to the IOC.
Than, the IOC can ask the FIG
to accept the request, using one of the four
wild
cards available for the men's sector (there are four others w.c.
for
women's and five for RGS).

Accelerated giants
Rich wrote
I
was under the impression that giants that didn't pass through
h-stand to
generate a tap were the specifically mentioned so as NOT to
receive a
deduction. (Am I
phrasing this correctly?) That is,
it is OK to do so
because the skill is used to generate power vs, .....
The giant that you have mentioned is
called an accelerated giant or
"working'
giant and was used by Gutsu prior to her double
layout flyaway.
It was added to the code so that there would be no
deduction taken for not
passing through
vertical. It is in the current code
under the same number
as the normal one.
