Each year, a rhythmic, male artistic, and female artistic gymnast are
chosen as a nominee for the USOC Athlete of the Year awards.  This

Jessica Davis
John Roethlisberger

A new book, "The 100 Greatest Athletes of All Time", includes Nadia

Atlanta Invite will be televised Saturday, December 2 at 4:30 pm by NBC.

At least that is what my notes say.

Thought I would add that I overheard a discussion that they are going to
test putting the scores up on the web as they become available.  That is
their plan for the olympics and this is the test meet, so any of you with
WWW access, might want to go on-line and see what happens.

Subject: Relocation/coaching info requested

I've finally decided to introduce myself. I've really enjoyed the variety
of mail received and am excited to contribute to the list.

I have been a coach for 9 years. I have taught Level 5 & 6, Highschool, and
the past 2 years at a recreational facility.  I have really enjoyed the
recreational program.  Althought I miss the competition, I have found
coaching 18 month old to adults, for fun, much more fullfilling.

We (husband Jim, daughter Tatiana) are currently looking to relocate out of
southern California.  We are looking for a better environment to raise our
daugher, and a lower cost of living.

I would appreciate any recommendations/suggestion's any of you would have
regarding recreational coaching position's available in your area.  We are
currently looking at all area's in the western U.S. (I know that's broad
but we're keeping our options open).

I look forward to hearing from you.

Anna

P.S. I would be willing to go back to coaching competition.  However, it
would have to be a different situation from where I coached before.  The
coaching staff there would use bribe's to get the kid's (pre-team) to work
harder.  I disagreed with that technique!!!

Subject: REVISED Trivia Topic:  Need Questions

Okay Gymners, you spoke and I listened.  Obviously, good 'ole Kurt is a bit
too narrow a topic for a whole trivia quiz.  Let's broaden the topic, then.

The new topic is:

Non-"Eastern Bloc" World/Olympic Medalists (M & W)

Go to it, gang!  Send me questions (with answers) via private e-mail.

Subject: Fixing Eating Disorders by USA Gymnastics in USA Today

There is an article in USA Today about eating disorders and how the
United States Gymnastics Federation is going to fix the problem
with outside help.  There is a nice picture of Amanda Borden in there.

How _are_ they planning to "fix" it?

Subject: hot gossip

Hi All,

I've just been told some interesting news (gossip?) from a very reliable and
well placed source. Apparently, at the next Trampolining Worlds (in B.C.
Canada) a decision will probably be made as to whether to merge Trampolining's
International governing body, the FIT, with that of Gymnastics, the FIG. If
this does happen it will be highly likely that trampolining will be included
in the 2000 Olympics (or so my source and a few others believe)!

I think the term 'remarkable' comes to mind :-)

Hey everyone.  I think I heard something about the ACRO WORLDS going on.
This is what type of gym I did for about 4-6 years, most of the people I
trained with are at these worlds.  I would love to know the results.
PLEASE!!!!!!!!

Thanks, if you can help.

Subject: Need info on Russian Coaches

I am looking for any information on Victor Dieke and Tamila Endovomoka. They
came to America last year from Ukraine. I have been told that they coached
Tutiana Gutsu and that she lived with them for awhile.  But when they came to
America that Tatiane left them and went to Indiana.  No one knows why she
left.  I would like to know if they are good coaches?  Are they able to teach
the younger kids basics?  How are their attitudes toward their students?
 Thanks for the info.

Subject: Gail Kachura: yes, she is too young for 96

Yup, Gail Kachura is too young for Atlanta.  Can't remember where
I heard it said, but I've heard it a couple of times; whenever tv
announcers run down a list of the most promising folks who are
a year or two out of the running, she's on it.

Subject: Gymnast's Parents

We've been watching a lot of figure skating lately, and I was wondering why
profiles of young skaters always feature parents so prominently, yet those of
young gymnasts focus on coaches.  Do most elite gymnasts live away from
family?  It seems like the sacrifice of gymnasts' parents would be huge, yet
we never hear about them.  We also never see cameras focus on parents in the
stands the way we do in skating.  Any ideas why?
