Press Release (USAG): World Team Finals
Oct. 6, 1995
1995 WORLD GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIPS:
U.S. MEN EARN
BERTH FOR '96 OLYMPIC GAMES
Luan Peszek,
Public Relations Director
Ramonna Robinson,
Public Relations Coordinator
The U.S. men's team finished ninth
at the 1995 World Gymnastics
Championships in Sabae,
Japan, earning a berth for the U.S. men at the
1 Summer
Olympic Games. China won the competition, followed by Japan
in second and Romania in third.
While the U.S. men were in third
place going into the optional
round of
competition, they placed 11th in optionals-only,
dropping
their overall rank to ninth. Problem
areas included a fall on parallel
bars, high bar
and pommel horse, as well as weak vaulting
performances.
Head Coach Peter Kormann
said, "They did well. We had some breaks,
and
we need to improve our difficulty. We made a big step in
compulsories,
but we have work to do for the Olympics."
John Roethlisberger, the top U.S.
finisher, commented, "We did well,
but it was
tough out there. I would have thought for sure, if we hit
like we did tonight, we would be in the top six. I was
surprised we
dropped as much as we did We're going
to have to beef it up for
Atlanta."
The top twelve countries from the 1995
World Championships qualify
for the 1996 Olympics.

In the DSF TV
presentation, their studio guest was none other
than
Maxi Gnauck (Queen of the
uneven bars). She's looking very well though
it's
hard to imagine that it was the same Maxi in the mid'80s.
More to come later.

Re: Worlds: Womens Team Results
I would like
to say thanks to Sherwin for great postings on Worlds.
Ditto for Rochele as always.
It is nice to hear about the triumphs that
the
media not always covers here in the US...ie. France,
Hungary, and
Australia's personal successes. I can't wait to hear our tv
personalities
comment on how they think the men lost it all and how
disappointing
the women's result is. In my
opinion, I am proud of the
men..I
too was so excited to see them in third after compulsories..After
their ninth
place finish, I was sad, but proud that they made the top
ten. The men's
team is getting stronger. And they
will as long as we
encourage them. If the US media keeps putting them down,
I would be
discouraged also.
As for the women,
third is good. Romania is excellent
and Mo Hullan is
remarkable
- I could watch her on bars all day.
For a team stricken with
injuries, I think
the US women did great. Especially
with our young team
members....
Good luck to
those that qualified for AA and EF...I can't wait to watch
on ABC tomm.
PS. Regarding ESPN coverage, the dates given
for this week, are they
still correct? I looked on Espn's
homepage and they say that they are
re-running
trials, but nothing is said about Worlds.

Worlds: WOMENS
1) I am SO PSYCHED that Lilia finally is hitting and
getting into
all 4 finals is so cool.
2)
I noticed that in one report of the team members,there was
only six chinese gymnasts listed. Does that mean that they went
6-5 instead of 7-6-5? If so, there results are even more
impressive.
3) Mo on top is also impressive. BUt
her next team mate being in
20th place makes me wonder how they had so much
depth to pass the
US and Russia.
4)
Bronze, given the depleted team, is no problem. Atleast
they were
on the stand.
5) Anyone know
what Bela has to say about his results and the
placing of his pupil?
Jeff
P.S. World are on this weekend, right!!!!
