Subject: Another "foreigner"!

I think I'm right in saying, to chip in with the lists of
"defectors", that Britain's no.1 rhythmic gymnast is one Jennifer
McGuire, who is Canadian-born but has a British passport for some
reason. And I think too that the Australian rhythmic team has a
similar situation. In tennis, a similar situation occurred with
Greg Rusedski, a Canadian whose grandmother came from Yorkshire or
something ..

Things like this are bound to happen, especially in a country such as
the UK where few of our sportswomen or men are world-beaters, and
where athletes from countries where there is a wealth of talent
aren't going to make the national team of their "original" country.
Judging by the initial reactions from sportsmen in the Rusedski case,
I think some of the top Brits were rather put out. What I'm saying
is, I suppose it could equally have a negative effect. Not that I'm
saying that there is necessarily animosity between sportpeople in
cases like these, but I can understand there might be the potential ..

Regarding Kristie Phillips....

Doesn't it seem odd that for someone who bad mouths gymnastics as often
and as publicly as she does, she doesn't mind making a quick buck off of
the sport? Just my opinion.

Subject: Official Peachtree Results?

Does anyone know where I can get access to official peachtree
results. In USA Today, Jennie T. won the all around and other medals.
In the Atlanta Journal and Constitution Jennie was not even mentioned at
all. It is as if she did not participate. I have the paper in
front of me and according to the Atlanta Journal and Constitution Monica
Flammer won the all around and uneven bars and was third on vault and
second on beam. Andree Pickens won vault. Something is wrong.
I was just thinking back to the invitational and the problems there were
with information. I hope that this can be fixed by the Olympics.
Shouldn't the host city news information be correct?

I know that the newspaper may not suuply correct details. When will the
United States Federation give out information about meets so that people
won't get the wrong infomration. Oh well.

I do have one more question. In the San Juan Times, Puerto Rico drew
the eighth and final spot in the final spot in the first subdivision in
the men's rotation and competes last on the floor exercise. The women ended up
second in the first subdivision of the women's rotation and last in the
third subdivision.
What does this mean and how is it a lucky draw? This article was dated
January 24,1996

I guess Alexander Alexandroff really feels confident that his gymnasts
will perform very well. Eileen Diaz will be a medal contender with a ten
start value according to an interview on the telephone.

Well, as a big Kristie Phillips fan, I have to respond to your
comment here. While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, and I
know others share it, I have this to say. Kristie Phillips has spent
most of her life involved with gymnastics, and given what happened to her
in her career and how things ended, I think it is great to see her back,
and I think she has the right to enjoy it again. I mean, it was so
unfair what happened to her, and I'm not only referring to her not making
the Olympic team. Looking back, it was totally rediculous that she was
touted as much as she was back then. I mean, really she wasn't that
physically talented - although certainly the best in the US at the time,
1986 at least - but that was a time when the US was in a bit of a
drought, with the National team not performing as consistently as it has
since. It was rediculous that she was put on the cover of SI, especially
when people like Kim Zmeskal and Shannon Miller, with all that they have
accomplished, never acheived this high accolade.
Regardless as to why she continued in the sport, whether her
parents/coaches wanted it more than she did or whatever, she definitely
did love love the sport at one time, and since she left it so negatively,
I am delighted to see her back and I think that she has the right to
enjoy it and have fun with it again. Just my $0.02.
Chris.

I wasn't disputing the fact that Nelli won the gold on floor (she
tied Nadia actually). I was simply saying that if Nadia fell on UB in
prelims, and if Nelli saw her fall and then she fell on FX, she wouldn't
have made finals. Does anyone have the results of 1980? I mean it is
entirely possible that I am wrong and that Nadia did fall on UB in AA
finals, but that's not what I remember reading. I thought she fell in 1B.

Subject: Re: Kristie Phillips (was Reese's)

Christopher, back in 1986 it was a big thing to have Kristie Phillips
around. She was a huge star at that point in time, with Bela credentials
and two American Cups to her credit. She was also being touted by many
people to be the next Mary Lou in the sport.

I think you can credit the difference to the reaction to her and the reaction
to Kim and Shannon to several things. First, neither had the type of
personality that Krisite (or Mary Lou) had at that point in time. Certasinly,
both have matured, but are they the outgoing showmans? Nope. Second,
America's interest in gymnasts seemed to have changed from 1984 to 1988.
The results in Seoul weren't exactly what maybe the public was looking
for. Third, Sports Illustarted has virtually DROPPED its coverage of
sports like gymnastics. 1989 was the last year they covered nationals.

I think the reason for the different reaction is the way the public
reacted to the sport and the difference in the athletes. It's the reason
Dominique Moceanu has gotten so much publicity in the past few months,
even if she isn't the most talented athlete around.

3) Nelli had problems on floor, according to Nadia in her biography,

1996 US Winter Cup
USOTC, Colorado Springs, CO
2-3 February 1996

Team '96
Compulsory session

This was probably one of the most exciting compulsory sessions of gymnastics
that I have ever attended! This feeling was shared by many, as the meet was
uncharacteristically fast paced, the standings were always interesting, and
many of the routines were really well hit.

USOTC was shot out of a cannon after the first rotation, with their four
guys claiming the top four spots. While certainly the USOTC was very good,
this was definitely a deceptive standing as vault was by far the highest
scoring event. For example, let's take a 9.3, a fairly strong score. Here
is where it would have placed you on each event: Floor - 1st; Pommels - 5th;
Rings - 2nd; Vault - 32nd; Pbars - 5th; High bar - 5th. (No, that's not a
type, really thirty-second place.) Four of the UCLA "six-pack" (could have
been seven, but Scott Keswick sat out) claimed spots 5th through 8th. Not
coincidentally, three of them were also on vault.

Nonetheless, this should not take away from USOTC's clear emergence into the
upper echelon of the USA men's program. Every one of their four guys hit
every routine! (And they looked good doing so.) John Macready, who led
through 4 of the six rotations, said that all the USOTC guys came out to do
the job, and he's glad that the young program is "finally standing up to
what we should be."

Stanford, per usual, demonstrated clean lines on every event with Jair Lynch
showing the best vault (9.7, tied with Harrison for first) and the best
pbars by two tenths of a point. Stanford had SEVEN guys in the competition
(i.e. one out of every five guys who finished six routines).

Drew Durbin, in 9th, was the highest ranking of the competitors who are
currently attending college.

Congrats to the Gymners who were judging the meet -- good job!
