Believe it or Not
Hi
Everyone,
I have some good news for all in the USA. One of Springfield College
Men's
Gymnastics teams finest has done what some may say is the impossible.
When most people here about Division II
Gymnastics they probabily think of
toned down lower level gymnastics. This is just not true. Rico Portalatin
4
time All-American during his College career at
Springfield just couldn't
give it up. Rico and myself were the Asst. Coachs of Springfield College
last
season. Rico not only coached and
attended Grad. School but trained his
but off
after evey team practice. His desire and hard work finally
paid off
this summer. Rico made the the National Team for Puerto Rico. Rico entered
college
a 45.0 All-Around gymnast Graduated a 54. All-Around
Gymnast and
now a member of the Puerto Rican
National Team. This proves that
Division II
is more and has more to offer then
some might think. If you don't
believe me
check it out yourself.
" Hard work and desire can
make a champion out of almost anyone"
Congrats to Rico
Onto a new topic. I saw some highlights of the
Gymnastics at the Special
Olympics World Games in CT. I was wondering if anyone was there and
could
fill us in. I was very amazed with what I saw and
wish I would have taken
the
time to go there and be appart of it since I live so
close Springfield
MA. I don't
know if anyone can help me on this one or not but I'll ask it
anyway. In all
the commercials 1 gymnast seems to get all the attention "who
is he" I
think he goes to a gym near where I used to train (Gymnastrum
in
PA) I think maybe a gym called Pancots, his leo is purple.
Feel free to
send info on this to my personal mail.
The more the better.
Thanks
Peace :0) Carl Frei

Re: various questions
>Now that Kim Zmeskal
is doing 3 Layouts on beam and a Full-in on bars, what
are
the starting scores for those routines?<
The start value depends on
what else is in the routines. If
someone can tell
me what the whole routine is, I
can figure it out. On the subject
of her
difficulty, 3 layouts is good, but a
full-in off UB is not that great
anymore.
>Also,
is a full turn still a requirement for floor ex? Kotchectkova
and
Podkopaeva don't do one.<
A
full turn on FX hasn't been a requirement at least as long as I can
remember (early '80s); I don't know whether it ever has
been. It *is* still
a requirement on BB.

Re: KIM AND BOGI
From everything I've heard, Kim WILL compete at
Nationals. As for how she
pays for the training...I'm sure her parents still help, but
she has made
money from all of the exhibitions,
shows, and pro meets she's done.
She is
represented by some agency (along
with Bela and Betty Okino),
so I'm sure she
gets paid for making apperances at gyms.
She also has a work-out collection
coming out from Milano (the same company Nadia works with),
so that yield her
some profits there.
As
for Boginskia, the post on the AOL message board said
that she hurt her
back but, when asked, didn't
know how, just that it started hurting.
She was
still able to do conditioning, as
well as dance work, but that's all I know.

In TV Guide
There is a layout in this week's TV Guide (July 8-14 with
baseball on the
cover) entitled "Athletes
warm up for Olympics '96."
Under the dates for
Nationals and Worlds, there is a little write up
about how women's gymnastics
has shifted from
children back to women, listing Miller, Zmeskal,
Dawes, and
Strug as examples.
There is also a small picture of Miller on beam.
On another
page, it says John Tesh will do the commentary for
women's
gymnastics in Atlanta! Yeah!! I don't care what anyone else says--I
love
him!
I thought he was great in Barcelona!
Don't forget: Superstars of Gymnastics will be on
Wednesday, July 13, at 8
pm central (9 pm eastern)
on the USA cable network. It will
feature Kim Z.,
Bart and Nadia, etc.

some names on NCAA list
I do not have a complete list. But I do know that the four graduating
high
school seniors from the C.A.T.S. club in
Cheshire, CT have all been
awarded full scholarships to compete next year at the listed
schools. Maybe
someone else has the complete list, or one can be built here
on gymn-l.

- Russia jumped from 8th position after one routine to
retain their
European gold medal after their second. The
reason for the big jump
was due to big diifference in
markings in the two pieces of apparatus.
The judges in the five hoops section
were marking much higher than
the judges in the three balls/two ribbons section. I'd say
the hoops
markings
were normal and also the composition mark of the three balls/
two ribbons
were also normal. But the execution marks for the
balls/ribbons
were way below average. The highest mark they've ever
given for the
execution in balls/ribbons was only 9.150 (out of 10)
I think. The top seven teams after Day
One all performed their hoops
routine on that day. Russia were 8th after Day One and they
performed
their
balls/ribbons routine. Today they performed their hoops routine
and they
managed to overcome the 0.7 gap between them and the
povernight
leaders bulgaria to claim the gold.
- This
may sound complicated... ignore me if you feel like it... oh you
have...
-
BTW I think the scores I gave yesterday for the Juniors Individuals
were actually
the final results of that particular competition.

None of them exactly fill out a
leotard like Caslavska did

Re: In TV Guide
No, none of them filled out a leotard like the great Caslavska did, but it
encouraging
to see that most of the OLYMPIC hopefulls (from all
over, not just
the USA) are going to be WOMEN
(legally) in Atlanta. It does show that your
career
isn't over if you hit 15, like it has for some gymnasts in the past.
Plus,
like it has been meantioned recently, it is very nice
to see that there
are a variety of body types in
the top group. From the lithe and long limbed
Khorkina
to the womenly shaped Piskuin,
it isn't just for "girls who
look like little
boys." The times are changing, slowly, but they ARE CHANGING.
If they
kept up this way, I'd hafe expect Nelli
Kim to come out of retirement.
Now there was a WOMEN doing gymnastics, if I ever saw one.
