Actually, it was
quite good! :) I especially enjoyed
their group hoop
routine that they performed the
first night - it was to music from the movie
"Swing Kids" and
they probably got the biggest crowd response of Thursday
night's
competition! I must admit that I'm
not a big rhythmic gymnastics
fan, but I was quite
impressed!

Bart Conner
I must second George's comment about Bart Conner being a
nice guy. This
Wednesday (Nov
15) Bart was in Rochester, NY for Xerox's annual Teamwork
Day.
He was here to promote the Olympics. Xerox (my employer) is a sponsor. Bart
did
some gymnastics at the event. My
daughter's gymnastics club provided the
equipment
and helped set up. One of our
coaches even spotted Bart in a staged
basketball
game with a Xerox VP. What
impressed me was how genuine Bart is.
During set up on Tuesday evening the
owner of our club asked Bart if he would
stop at
the club to see our kids before he left.
The Xerox event ended at 3:15
PM. Bart's plane was at 5:30. His immediate answer to the owner was
"I'd love
to if I can get to the gym and
catch my plane. The owner drove him
to the gym
(in a blizzard), he was there for about
30 minutes but took an interest in what
each child
had to say. He knew ahead of time
that he would not be able to sign
pictures for
each of the 45 kids at the gym while he was there so he pre-signed
them in the car.
To each child he handed a photo, he asked a question like
"how did you get interested in gymnastics" or
"what's your favorite event".
The kids at the gym looked like it
was Chistmas morning they were so excited.
We got
a number of pictures, one group shot with all of the kids, coaches and
Bart. I got a great shot of Bart with my
daughter and one of her team mates.
It will be an
event none of the kids (or coaches) will forget. Bart's
gymnastics
at the Xerox event was pretty good too.
He has tremendous grace.
He told me he's 37 and gymnastics is
starting to get harder than it used to.

Does anyone know when she'll recover??
I was really anxious to see how she'd
| do. I hope she recovers soon!!

Boguinskaya's injury is not serious, and shouldn't keep her
out of any
major competitions in the future.
