Attention: Western Australian Coaches
A couple of weeks ago, someone
from Western Australia replied to my
looking-for-coaches
posting for the Nepean-Corona School of Gymnastics in
Ottawa, Canada. All attempts to reply have been
bounced.
I understand that the gymnastics program at the Western
Australian Institute
of Sport is being migrated to
AIS and that some coaches are now outplaced.
If you are one of these
coaches, we ARE interested in you and want to see
your
resume. Please contact Agnes Laing,
the Executive Director, at
(613)224-6524 (we are
13 hours behind you) or fax your resume to (613)
224-7785. Agnes will be in Boston from June 27th
to July 1st.
If you reply to me via e-mail, please leave a telephone
or fax number as a
backup so you may be
contacted.
Regards,
Grace

cruise meet?
I know that there is a cruise meet sometime in the
spring. Does anyone know
anything about this?
Also, I recently visited
Ohio State Univ. at Columbus and I was very
impressed
with the campus. Does anyone have
any idea how their women's
gymnastics program
is? I know that their men's team
won NCAA's this year,
but I don't know anything
about their women's program.
Please e-mail me privately if you have
any info. about the cruise meet or
Ohio
State.
Thanks in advance!

Olympics almanac
At the grocery store this past weekend I saw one of
the Olympics almanacs that
are coming out to cash
in on the Olympics. I do not know who published it (I
couldn't
find anything to indicate its publisher) but off hand it looks like the
same people who put out Sports Illustrated. Anyway, it has a
few pages covering
each sport, including
gymnastics. The information is pretty good except for one
illustration that shows Kerri Strug
on beam but identifies it as Shannon Miller.
But to the point, there is a picture of the
1948 US men's Olympic team in the
article. Why? I
do not know. And there is no indication as to who all is in the
picture. So, two questions for gymnastics experts out there:
were there only
men's gymnastics in the 1948
Olympics (held in London) and who can identify the
members
of the 1948 US men's team?
The men in the picture are wearing their
college leotards. So, I can see that
some are from
University of Pennsylvania.

Re: Olympic Trials Commercial
> I just saw a
commercial on NBC for the US Olympic trials to be
broadcast
next week. The only two gymnasts
shown were Moceanu and Miller.
Doesn't NBC know
that these two gymnasts aren't even competing in the
meet?
That
has been replaced with a new spot:
Dawes, Strug and Phelps (?). Btw,
the
info was also in the papers, not just online
:-)

Australian Olympic team
I've heard (tho have
not seen anything official) that Jade Davidson has been
pulled
out of the Australian team because of a bad back. Her place has been
taken by Nicole Kanteck. Kirsty Leigh
Brown is still not 100%. Has
been
training with a mat on vault, and lots of
mats for soft landings.

Re: growth plate injuries
A friend of mines daughter, had the same injury..it took about 3 - 6
weeks
to heal. It did heal, the key to her healing was
to rest it, not do any
working out on it and ice
every time it hurts. She did
recover
completely..but I think the decision to quit or not to quit is up
to you and
your daughter. If she isn't in to competitions that
much maybe just a
tumbling class.

sea world
I've never posted before, but I had a great gymnastics experience
yesterday. I
live in San Diego, and yesterday I went down to Sea World
during their Olympic Spirit Festival. They had a bunch of special events
surrounding this.
Early in the morning I saw some local gymnasts perform.
The best part was an entire acro team was there.
They were all really good
and a lot of fun
to watch. The three girls team was
really incredible. In
the background there was a poster advertising that Jamie Dantzscher and
Vanessa Atler were going to be there, but I never saw them. Maybe they
showed
up later. I really would have liked
to see them.
In the afternoon I saw Bart Conner and Nadia Comaneci put on a
really
cute show. They had brought four (two girls and two
boys) level 10 gymnasts
from their gym in
Oklahoma. The interesting part was
when they introduced
the girls coach who was
there, Betty Okino. Betty is in the "Olympic
Summer
Nights" show that will show every night this summer. I went back for that
and really enjoyed it.
It had ice skating and rythmic
and artistic gymnasts.
Valerie Kondos choreographed the entire thing. Betty is a really great
dancer; I would like to see what kind of floor routine she
would do now!
I hope you found this interesting.
