US men's team
All this talk of '96 olympic hopefuls got me thinking...
Wouldn't
it be a slap in the face if the US men's team didn't even make it to
the Olympics.I mean they placed
9th and teams 10-13 weren't too far behind.
I FINALLY got around to
seeing the Dortmond coverage.I cannot *believe* Scott
appeared on camera and whined about getting no respect.I think it would have
been
a better idea to get someone who doesn't average 3.5 falls out of all
the worlds and olympics he's been to.Scott,in my opinion, is the only gymnast
from the US who can medal in international meet with big
names in
attendance.WHEN
he hits,which isn't too often.(meets *OUTSIDE* of the
US that
is.John's
Roethlisberger's win at American Cup was a joke.Last
years p-bars
and this years high bars scores are
prime examples of out and out
cheating.Come
on,JOHN actually going head to head with Scherbo.John could hit
6 for 6 routines and Vitali could fall 2 or three times and STILL be ahead
of
him.)I think Scott should have kept his mouth
shut and done a few more kovacs
on high bar or flairs on floor in practice.It
would've helped the team alot
more.
What
was this about the women getting more respect than the men.The US women
are at
a much higher level internationally than the men are.Almost
all the
women from the US team have routines that
start in the 9.8-10.00 range.There
aren't many from the men's that start that high.Why doesn't someone tally the
medals
that the men have won since '84 and compare them to the
women's.There's your answer right there!
Oh,and one more thing.I believe one of the men's team members was to
have
said that he was happy with the team's performance.I think if they're happy
with
a mediocre performance and don't set they're expectations a little
higher,they're going to continue
losing.

grivech, vaults, amd
trivia
1) whoever flamed about hilary grivech should really stop
to think about
the fact that she had a goal and
was doing her best to achieve it-she did
not
flaunt her mediocrity. do you reall
yhtink bela would have let
her
compete for him if she weere
as bad as you let on???
2)i
once learned the full on full off vault-its A LOT of twisting thats
all i
can say-i takes a long time to figure out where you ar ein the air etc
handspring double full
was much easier! still alot
of twisting thoguh-i
learned
that one too! i LOVE vault! even though its hard to be original
one
can try several different kinds of vaults instead of doing the average
yurchenko, tsuk,
etc
3) this is a
forum to discuss things-do we really need to fillour
boxes
with pointless trivia that only 2-3 people
reply to anyway!
that's my nickel!adrienne
