ADMIN: Gymn Survey
Gymn
Survey
Should we incorporate "topics" into Gymn? The
listserv software that
Gymn uses allows us to create a limited number of sublists.
Members
can post to one of these lists by
indicating the sublist in the
header. Members can also set their subscription
options on the
listserv, blocking messages for a
certain sublist or subscribing to
only one sublist, etc. Note that sublists
are only effective for
those who get regular mail;
digest subscribers would receive *all*
msgs archived in the digest.
Advantages:
Members
have more control over the mail that they get. If you aren't
interested
in a certain sublist, then don't subscribe to that
topic.
Topics can be useful for a list that gets a significant volume of
mail
(like Gymn).
Gymners can identify others with the same interest. Eg, if RSG
folks
want to talk about specific RSG things, but
don't want to bother all
of Gymn
with such a specific question, then they can post to an "RSG"
sublist. With the collegiate season coming up,
those who have zero
interest in collegiat gymnastics (there are many!) can avoid that
whole blob of discussion by blocking msgs
from a collegiate sublist.
Kids can trade fan
mail letters on a kids sublist.
Disadvantages:
This
fragments Gymn.
You might miss following a discussion that
interests
you on a sublist to which you are not
subscribed.
More administration.
Do we really want "How do I subscribe to that
topic?" and "How do I post to that topic?"
messages sent to Gymn and
so
forth? Using topics is pointless if Gymners find it
too confusing
or they are not utilized
properly.
More information:
To post to a certain topic, you
merely write your subject as follows:
rsg: What are the requirements of a hoop
exercise?
coaches: Does anyone have tips for
conditioning?
col-w: I heard that over sixty women
scored a ten this weekend?!!!
I don't remember the exact syntax at the
moment, but to subscribe to a
topic you send
something like this to the listserv
set gymn-l topic all
set gymn-l topic col-w
Mail
that is not specified for a particular topic (which I would
expect to be most Gymn mail) would
fall to the "Other" topic.
Everyone by default would be
subscribed to Other.
-------------------------------------------------
As
you can see, this is not a simple thing -- the question is,
therefore, do the advantages outweigh the
disadvantages? Or is it the
other way around?
Please send your opinions, observations, thoughts,
ideas, etc to gymnjunk@aol.com
(that's me). DO NOT reply to me
at
this address, or to Gymn. George, Debbie, and I will evaluate
the
responses and decide from there whether or not
to try topics on a
experimental basis.
Also,
please send any other opinions and suggestions for Gymn
to the
***@aol.com address.
Please send
all responses by the end of the month.
Thanks!

All Africa Games
The All Africa Games *is* supposed be a friendly
games. Unfortunately the
rivalry this year between
South Africa and Egypt showed. Egypt started out
leading
the gold medal count but as SA overtook they began to show bad
sportsmanship, complaining about scores and refusing to box
against SA
because they said the whole team was
HIV positive! It's just not cricket!!!
Anyway here is some RSG info. When I went
to the World Gymnaestrada two of
the South African RSg girls went
too. (Andrea Schermoly and Cheryl Phillips)
Both
are very friendly!Cheryl
recently won the Junior African Championships,
and
Andy is an extremely flexible young gymnast whose mom is former sprinbok
artistic gymnast Gigi
Schermoly. (previously de
Jong) Both definitely tops
gym-wise and
personality-wise!
Just my
2 cents,
Helen.

Famous GYM people
Are there any "famous" gymnasts on thislist or coaches? It would be
nice
to here what they have to say about our discussions about the
coachs, judges, and athletes that
we often post. I'd love to
her Mary Lou's commenst more in depth about "LGIPB".
Other
than that, my next question about judges is there demographic
composition.Do the judges who work
at the BIG meets (OG, WC) come
from all the
members of the FIG or is it just those judges with
gymnasts
from their country competing? This is something which I
never
knew. I know that there are lost fo
judges from the
big powers in gymnastics, but what
about the chances for a judge
from a lesser power,
like Peru, working at the Olympics?

Rhythmic Worlds - AA (Individual and Groups) (Day Four)
Rhythmic World
Championships 1995
=================================
Vienna,
Austria
19-24 September 1995
Day Four - AA Competition (part two)
------------------------------------
Oh
dear, my VCR stopped before the competition finished so
these
"results" are to the best of my knowledge and many
of the scores are missing :(
Individual
All-Around:
=1. Maria Petrova
(BUL)
39.800
=1. Ekaterina Serebrianskaya (UKR) 39.800
=3. Larissa Lukianenko
(BLR)
39.700
=3. Jana Batyrchina
(RUS)
39.700
5. Amina Zaripova
(RUS)
6. Elena Vitrichenko
(UKR)
7. Diana Popova
(BUL)
8. Magdalena Brzeska
(GER)
Petrova *still* reigns supreme
as a World champion although
she has to share the
title this time with the unbeatable
Serebrianskaya.
Both scored 9.950s on all four of their
apparatus. Lukianenko faded away
after two 9.950s yesterday,
today she only scored
9.925 in her rope and 9.875 in her
ball routine. I
can't see myself why today's marks were lower
for
her though. She shared third place with Jana Batyrchina.
All
the big names are up there (except Olga Gontar who
didn't
compoete) and it
was a very close competition since none
made a
serious mistake in their routines.
I don't know about the minor placings unfortunately (because
of
my VCR mishap)...
Groups All-Around:
1. Bulgaria
(BUL)
39.575
2.
Spain
(ESP)
39.400
3.
Belarus
(BLR)
39.075
4.
Russia (RUS) 38.750
=5.
Germany
(GER)
38.600
=5. France
(FRA)
38.600
7.
Italy
(ITA)
38.550
8.
China
(CHN)
38.525
Bulgaria expectedly won the groups AA gold after
Russia's
mishap yesterday. The Russians, however,
did well today and
climbed from overnight's 13th
place to finish 4th - not
enough for a medal
though. The Germans were ecstatic with
their fifth
place finish.
Even finals to come.

Day Five - Event Finals
-----------------------
DSF
didn't show much today so I can only manage to find out who
the gold medal winners were. (I think the following are
correct):
Individuals:
Rope: 1. Larissa Lukianenko
(BLR)
9.950
Clubs: =1. Maria Petrova
(BUL)
9.950
=1. Amina Zaripova
(RUS)
9.950
Ball: =1. Amina Zaripova
(RUS)
9.950
=1. Jana Batyrchina
(RUS)
9.950
=1.
Ekaterina Serebrianskaya (UKR) 9.950
Ribbon: 1. Elena Vitrichenko
(RUS)
9.950
All the big names had at least one apparatus gold
for keeps
which just showed how close this whole
world championships
were.
Maria Petrova dropped her ribbon during a throw
which left
her 9.400 in that particular
exercise.
DSF did an interview with both Zaripova
and Serebrianskaya.
Both ladies were very sweet
and smiled a lot during the
interview. As usual I
have no idea what they're talking
about (in
German/Russian/Ukrainian).
Groups:
Hoop:
1. Bulgaria
(BUL)
19.825
Ball/Ribbon: 1. Spain
(ESP)
19.800
That is all from Vienna,
roll on Sabae!
