My impression was that it becomes a biannual event in odd-numbered
years again beginning in 1997. Who knows . . . if we get lucky we may
actually even see the World Cup again . . .

The reason they devoted the WHOLE issue in the past is there was nothing else
to cover. Now, Worlds are just one of a host of events. Gymnastics has grown
up.

I haven't been to a UMass meet this year yet, but when I was talking to the
UMass coach last year, he mentioned that Kevin wasn't doing too well in school,
and that he'd better watch out.

Too bad for him and UMass.

Subject: Who will be at worlds?

There has been some talk as to which Americans will be at the
Worlds since of the qualifiers, only Dawes has confirmed her entry. Does
anyone know if top European and Chinese women will be competing? The
Europeans are like a month after worlds, and I wonder which meet the
European gymnasts would want to peak for? Of course the Asian gymnasts
don't have another big warm-up meet before Olympics so they might be more
inclined to go to worlds.
An aside for the other Canadians out there: perhaps, if there is
a weaker field in PUR it will improve our chances of making the COA
standard? At this point we could probably use as much help as we can get...

Subject: Team Gymnastics to be cut as Olympic Sport?

Today's Wall Street Journal reports that in 1993 a special IOC sports
commission voted to eliminate team gymnastics competition in Olympics after
1996. Although this was a non-binding resolution, if team competition is
eliminated it will decrease the "showcase" factor for gymnastics.

Subject: Learning to coach...

I am extremely interested in becoming a girls gymnastics coach someday in
the future. I know a lot about gymnastics and I know what to look for,
but I need to learn a lot more. I was wondering if anyone knew what i
could do to start "training" to be a coach. I know I need to find a gym
with good coaches that could teach me, but I don't know how to go about
getting info. There is a gym in my city, but I have been to nervous to
ask if I could come in and "study" under the coaches (afraid of
rejection). I'm afraid that coaches may not have the time to "take me
under their wing" to help me. I am pretty good at helping out with
routines and stuff, but I want more. I have a license to judge girls
gymnastics for high school in Indiana, but I haven't been able to
practice and take part since I am a freshman in college at the moment.
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. I was a manger for my
high school's team for 3 years and I continue to help them...Thanks in
advance for any insight or information people can provide me with.

Gymnastically Yours,
Aaron

I believe the value for a handspring double full is 9.9. There a couple of
twisting valuts that start at 10.0 The above vault was worth a 10 until the
new code appeared. Hope that helps.

Subject: Fish jump and L7 leap pass

I am from Montana, and i can tell you that my club is the only club in
Montana that calls the Fish jump a fish jump. In fact a coaching friend in
another part of the state laughs at me when I call it a fish jump. By the
way I am all for calling a trick by a different name if the gymnast can
understand the trick better.
Last I just went to a meet in Region 1 and noticed that my level 7's
were the only girls on floor throwing a stag leap in their leap pass. I
looked at my book, the updates, asked a fellow coach (when I got home) and a
Montana Judge what the leap pass is and they all say it is a stag. A judge at
the meet I attended said it is a regular split leap. Could somebody clear
this up for me?

gymanstically,

Subject: Additional E/D

This has been bothering me for a long time so I hope someone can help
me. In elite competition, you know the base score is 9.40 and bonus
points are .6; .3 for E-.2 & D-.1; and .3 for combination.
I am confused about the additional E/D. The Code
says that E and D skills may be used only ONCE for additional E/D.
So, does that mean you have to have an E to be able to start from a
10.0? Like, you couldn't do just 3 D's for the 3 tenths, or can you?
But then again, like Lavinia Milosovici's beam set, I don't think she
has an E in it but I believe she starts from a 10.0?
Help!

Friday - Jan 9th

U.C. Davis hosted two other schools from the U. C. system for a three-
ring circus. It would have been fun to have UCLA there to make it a
complete representation of all U. C. affilliated gym teams.
The first rotaion started Cal on Bars and Davis on Vault. Cal started
their domination of the evening with a 47.875 Bar set score led by Heather
Schneider's 9.875. Davis had two Aggies, Shauna Duggins and Alix Alderman,
hit their personal best on vault.
The second rotation brought Santa Barbara to vault and Davis to bars.
Santa Barbara's April Sargent, who had an elbow injury last season, showed
great form on a front-tuck-half for a 9.75, which gave her a second on vault
for the night. On bars, Davis' Erika Cronk and Alix Alderman set personal
bests.
Third rotation moved Cal-Berkeley to vault and the Santa Barbara Gauchos
to bars. Cal again had a good night with a 47.80 set score. Except for one
Gaucho score (April Sargent's) Cal had the top five vault scores of the
night. The two top scores were from Heather Schneider's Front-tuck-half
(9.775) and Lisa Washington's front-pike (9.75). The Gauchos had a good
night on bars, with Alison Georgetti (9.775) and Georgina Lillich (9.625)
placing second and third for the meet.
At the half-way point the Cal Bears led with 95.675 followed by UCSB
Gauchos (93.775) and the Davis Aggies (92.375).
Davis took the beam and Santa Barbara took the floor for the fourth
rotation. Davis was making a good effort on beam, but had to count five
falls. On floor, Santa Barbara's Alison Giorgetti scored a team high of
9.75 for second place.
The fifth rotation brought UCSB to the beam and Cal-Berkeley to the
floor. Gaucho Alison Giorgetti led her teammates again with a 9.575 which
earned her a third on beam. She mounted with a front tuck and had a clever
dive to a headstand which leads down to the beam. On floor, Cal tried some
new things and had to count one fall. They had their weakest set score of
the night (47.725) and were bested by UCSB and Davis. The bright spot of
the rotation was Freshman Emily Bails' personal best (9.725) and third on
floor. Freshman Angela Mapa also earned a personal best 9.60.
In the final rotation, Davis showed their stuff on floor. It was their
best set score of the night and the top floor set as well - 47.875. Holly
Balchus (9.775), Alix Alderman (9.725) and Jennifer Wong (9.675) each earned
a personal best and first, third and fifth on floor. On Beam, Cal had to
count one fall from the beginning of the set. The rest of the team rallied
to the occasion and stuck their routines. High points of the set were
Angala Mapa's front tuck mount plus a Popa, and Emily Bails' BHS, layout,
layout pass.
The teams finished with a fair amount of distance between them. Cal-
Berkeley stayed in the lead with a 190.80, followed by U. C. Santa Barbara
(188.05) and U. C. Davis (185.50). All-around honors went to Heather
Schneider (38.35) from Cal and Alison Giorgetti (38.20) and Kim Weigle
(37.325) from Santa Barbara.

Georgia, Illinois State @ Auburn
Feb. 10, 1996

Georgia topped out again with a team score of 197.2x over Auburn's
192.xx and Illinois St. 187.xx. If you haven't heard already,
Georgia scored an NCAA record on vault with a 49.925. One judge gave
5 out of 6 gymnasts 10.0's which of only 2 were really deserved,
Julie Ballard's and Karin Lichey's. Auburn really came on strong
with a good start on vault. I believe the best of the season.
Georgia finally stayed on the beam but had 2 falls on bars, one from
Julie Ballard's DOUBLE FRONT dismount!
I was really impressed with Auburn. This meet gave them a lot of
confidence. They have 2 full-ins on floor, Erin Gannon and Kim
Smith. Smith has the highest leaps I've ever seen. They had a
couple of falls on bars and beam but overall a great meet.
Illinois St. saw a near perfect handspring-front from one of their
girls-9.875(start value 9.9).
*****This may have been the first meet in which 3 sisters competed.
Becky Balogach and Sarah Balagoch are on Auburn's team and Becky's
twin sister is on Illinois St. team. They all did well.
That was neat!!
Auburn's coach Robert Dillard seemed in high spirits for the first
time I've seen in a while, eventhough he didn't get to coach because
of a cast he had on his arm.
Becky Erwin of Auburn still isn't going all-around. She only competed
bars and beam.
Lori Strong won the all-aound again and showed a new tumbling pass of
a 2 1/2 twist punch front for an opener. First one I've seen other
than Chelle Stack's when she was at OU.
Thanks!

Stanford traveled to San Jose State last weekend to take on the host
Spartans as well as the Cougars of Brigham Young. I didn't make the trip
(my car did feel like going freeway speed), but here are the scores from
the Stanford Sports Information Dept.

One sad note from the meet: Stanford sophomore Tim Dalrymple suffered a
season-ending injury on a fall from high bar. He apparently continued
to train for two days after the meet, thinking it was a muscle pull.
After the pain did not subside, he had it examined; tests revealed a chip
fracture of the C-4 vertebra as well as sprains at two levels. (No signs
of nerve/spinal damage) He is in surgery today, and there seems to be
nothing to indicate that he won't be back at full strength by next season.

This will be a short update because I haven't gotten all of the
individual scores yet.

Bama 196.95; second highest team score in school history.
Kentucky 195.40; second highest team score in school history.

Jenny Hansen won the all-around with a 39.675, Robin Ewin(UK) was
second and Marna Neubauer(UA) was third. Kim Kelly fell on unevens
but had 9.9 on vault and I think beam.
Merritt Booth is back after being sick during the Georgia/Bama meet.
Since the rankings are going by team averages, Alabama is #1, as most
of you have seen already.

Hi!!!

Some one asked about twisting vaults, and their SVs. A handspring double full
is worth a 9.7. A 2 1/2 or higher is worth a 10. I think that if you do
1/2-2/1 it's worth a 9.8, but I could be wrong. There are also more twisting
vaults that are worth a 10. One is a full on full off. But I could be wrong,
it may be full on 1 1/2 off. I can't remember.

Subject: Team Comp at Worlds

Perhaps this is a response to the fact that there will be no more compulsories
in World Competition. Perhaps they see no need to have competition like
the future worlds (Two or MORE optional team event competitions.)

You have to remember something. The OLympics is a very scheduled event and
you can't just add three to six days of team competition in hopes of
getting everything in on the set amount of time for the Games. Perhaps they
(IOC) worried about the fact that it would have made the gymnastics competition
way too long and would have removed some of the attention to other sports
such as Track and Field and Swimming, two sports which draw alot of
MONEY AND SPONSORSHIP and also run over several days.

There may have been reasons other than these. I doubt it was the IOC's dislike
of gymnastics competitions. I bet that they could sell out the Stadium for
complusories!!!!

Subject: Re: inverted/eagle giants

> Subject: inverted/eagle giants
> Aren't inverted and eagle grip giants the same thing?

While the arm position and method of getting into Eagles and
Inverts is similar, they are different positions and different giants.

In both positions the arms are maximally twisted inward (i.e. the
right arm twisted counter clockwise and the left arm twisted clockwise).

It is kind of hard to describe wrist position. A flexed wrist is
when your wrist curls in the same direction as your fingers when you make
fist. An extended wrist moves in the opposite direction. As an example
you have to have an extended wrist to do a handstand on floor.

In an Eagle the wrist is flexed. When you go over the top on this
giant your hand is under the bar, and so you have to lead with your shoulders
because your wrists need to be over the bar to support your weight. Your
wrist is always following your motion around the bar in an Eagle.

In an Invert your wrist is extended. When you go over the top on
this giant your hand is over the bar, which means you can support your
weight and don't have to dump your shoulders over the bar. When doing
Inverts the shoulders are in line with the body. The arm position of
Inverts requires more flexibility than Eagles.

You don't tend to see Eagles in many high level competitions as
they are mainly a stepping stone to Inverts. They will tend to be faster
because you can't support your weight over the top like you can in an
Invert.

So the main differences are the wrist and shoulder postions.

I would put this on the collegiate update, but it is just a precursor to
the meet...
Rumors here at UM:

6 out of 12 of our gymnasts have injuries....needless to say we are
concerned. Our two freshmen, beth and kathy, are aware that they have to
keep doing well to support the team, a lot of pressure on two 18 year olds.

-The word is that Tina Miranda has torn her acl...she's out for the
season, she has been a strong performer on bars for us.
-Nikki Peters will probably not compete.
-Kristen Duff and Lisa Simes have been cleared to practice and their
status is still up in the air.
-Dianna Ranelli and Heather Kabnick are questionable.

Beth and Kathy have really stepped up. Wendy has always been strong.
Andrea has placed in the top three AA in most meets.

I will be crossing my fingers on sat. I will try to report as detailed
info as I can about this meet.
Till then..wish us luck :)
GO BLUE!!!

Regarding NCAA judging, I have to say that it has gone nuts in the last 5-6
years. Even as recently as 1990-91, it was a real triumph for a team to
break 190.00. Now that score can't even get to Regionals!

The top routines lose their value if mediocre or average routines receive
unjust scores.

MHO,

Subject: Looking for a Rhythmics Club in New York.

My name is Maria (currently using my husbands account here). I =
am a level 3 national coach in Rhythmics Gymnastics in Toronto Canada =
(N.C.C.P Level 3) with a degree in Physical Education from Buenos Aires =
Argentina. I have been living and teaching in Canada for 5 years now. =
That's the short little blurb about me for now.

My question is the following: Does anyone know the names/address/tel. =
numbers of any rhythmic gymnastics club in New York city? In particular =
in areas just outside of New York city, like Westchester County (I'm not =
sure of spelling here :-). The reason I'm asking is because my husband =
is about to accept a job from a company in New York, and I would like to =
continue teaching after we have relocated there.

Thanks in advance for any information.

It just means you can't get extra D/E bonus for the same skill more than
once. If you do 3 *different* D's, you can get 0.3 (assuming you meet
value part requirements and all that)(rules on how many times you can use a
skill depend on whether you're looking for value part credit, extra D/E
bonus, or connection bonus. The above refers only to extra D/E bonus).

I'd have to say my biggest complaint with IG lately is that they still only
run 10 issues a year. The summer and spring sessions are becoming the most
eventful ones, with the Olympics, Nationals, Olympic Trials, Europeans all in
that time frame, but there are still only two issues during the summer. With
the lag time from printing the issues and trying to cram all of these events
into just a few issues, a lot is lost. I'd rather pay a few dollars more and
get 12 issues a year. Sometimes were' hearing about the summer events months
after they happen.

Ok, ya'll, you can use the ftp site, but ignore the http sites. For
some reason, I keep being told sites that are not found. I don't know
what's going on. :(
