what happened to...?
Hi,
I'm curious if anyone knows what
happened to a few gymnasts from the
past...Elena Shushunova, Elena Davidova,
Oksana Omeliantchik, Zacharova
(what
was her first name?)...I'm sure there are
others I could think of, but I'll
try with these
first! It seems that these young
women are famous for a short
period of time, and
then completely disappear from the scene.
Two were
Olympic champions, one a world champion, yet we don't hear
much about their
lives
today.

OK, someone askd for
a listr of compeitors that
will be competing
because there have been so many
pullouts. I don't have that list
but I do have a
question. I know Kirsty Powell has pulled out,
but
what about her Colorado teammates Donielle Thompson, Theresa Kullijowksi'
and Kerri Strug? All three were
injured at the Olympic Festival as well.
Also, with these athletes pulled
out (plus Zmeskal), are there alternates
being allowed in? If so, who are they.
Finally,
would Shawna@ alabama please
mail me, as would Esquires@ohio.
Need to talk to
both of ya. Also, Adriana, if you are still out
there,
send me your email address. I have a
question specifically for you.

1976 Olympic placings
This is how the beam
standings occurred in Montreal. Comaneci(ROM) was
first with
19.95. Korbut(USSR) was second with 19.725 and Ungureanu
was
third with 19.70. Ungureanu
was second on UPB with a score 19.80 and
Egarvari
of Hungary was third with 19.775. Korbut and KIm fell(at least
I remember
Kim did) and were knocked out of potential medal placings.
No
flames from me, my torch seems to have run out
of acetylene for now. Brenda

Shushunova and Omelianchik
I have a rough idea of
where Elena and Oksana are these days. Elena
married
a car mechanic not too long after her '88 Olympic win. The story I
heard is that she crashed the car she was given for winning
the Olympics and
took it to this mechanic, and
well, the rest is history. He's quite a bit older
than
she is and they have a child, I believe a son. Anyway, footage of them
having a picnic was shown during the '94 Goodwill
Games.
Oksana married a long-time sweetheart from Kiev named Dima. He works as a
policeman
or something military-related (he went to a military academy). They
have a daughter named Anastasia, who I think is about 4.
When in Kiev, Oksana
is a dance coach at the gym
where she first started out. She occasionally goes
to
Belgium to coach too, and I think would like to relocate to an
English-speaking
country (she coached in the States in 89-90 and became quite
good at English). Because of all the economic problems in
Ukraine, I believe
that Oksana, Dima and Anastasia cannot afford their own apartment and
live with
Oksana's mother Lyubov, her brother Dima (the one with the eye damage caused by
Chernobyl)
and her younger sister, whose name escapes me at the moment, but
she's a sports acrobat.
I don't know anything
about Stella Zakharova. As for Elena Davydova, I
*thought* I heard
that she was coaching abroad somewhere, but I could be wrong.
Hope this
helps!

Elena Davidova
Elena coaches at Gemini
Gymnastics in Oshawa, Ontario (Northeast of
Toronto) and has been there for
several years now. She coaches
with
July Gershovich and they have some fantastic
athletes including Sarah Deegan
('95 Jr. National Champ) and senior team member Stephanie Cappuccitti.
I don't know *for sure* about
her personal life (married? children?) so
I won't say anything.

Dobre
Along the lines of
"where are they now," someone asked me if I knew what
happened to Dobre. Well, she's
here in the US, living in Maryland and raising 2
children
(the oldest is a boy, I don't know about the youngest). She's married
to Boz Mofid,
who owns Fit 'N Fun gymnastics, and she sometimes helps out at
the gym as a dance coach. I haven't met her but I have a
friend who did (she
stayed with Aurelia and Boz for several days). She said Aurelia is VERY happy
and VERY sweet and down-to-earth. She really enjoys being a
wife and mother,
much preferring that to
gymnastics. She said that when she watches old tapes of
herself
she gets scared and can't even believe it was her doing those moves! I
assume most people know she went through a kind of
"wild" phase in 1990-91
(including
posing for Dutch Playboy), but that's definitely all in the past. My
friend told me that Aurelia is a very devoted mother and
gracious hostess, and
extremely modest. My friend
sent me copies of some photos she took, and Aurelia
dresses
very simply and wears no makeup (she doesn't need to - she's
beautiful!) My friend, Boz and
Aurelia went to a pro-meet together, and my
friend
asked Aurelia if she would pose for a photo with Henrietta Onodi.
Aurelia
got really embarrassed and said, "but she won't even know who I
am."
Needless to say, Henrietta DID know who she was, and my friend
got a very nice
picture of the two of them. :)
Anyway, it sounds like Aurelia is really happy
with
her life in the US, which is very nice to know after all the struggles she
had after 1987.
