Finally, a web 2.0 online gymnastics magazine.
At first glance, the revamped IG looks GREAT. Far more functional than their nearest competitor, Inside Gymnastics online. The next best online magazine content-wise, GYMmedia.com from Europe, is positively hideous in comparison.
… We have been working hard to bring you a brand-new Web site for the Olympic year, and we’re proud to unveil it in conjunction with the Pacific Rim Championships in San Jose, Calif. We will be offering live coverage of every artistic gymnastics session in San Jose.
International Gymnast Magazine and International Gymnast Magazine Online continue to be the leader in global gymnastics news, features and photos, but we are eager to hear from you! We invite you to register with our site so you may comment on all our articles, and you may even submit your own article or news tip for our consideration!
We are still working on improving our new site. We will be adding many more features in addition to including the past eight years of content into the online archives. Please let us know how we’re doing or if you experience any technical glitches or notice any problems. Please comment below or e-mail us at sitefeedback (AT) intlgymnast.com.
Congratulations to whomever is responsible for this huge upgrade. I’ll be far more actively engaged at the new site now that you have an RSS feed.
As editor of GymnasticsCoaching.com, I spend all day long looking at gymnastics websites. Even on launch, IG 2.0 is one of the best.

I though it was god awful with lots of flashing stuff and pop-ups anywhere they could stick them. Overdone! Though I agree that, that site was SO due for a change. (They had the old one for EIGHT YEARS, a lifetime in Internet years!) Looks aside, you now have to register to view just about anything, which is a total pain, not to mention customer un-friendly. Inside Gym isn’t much better, but I don’t think it’s much worse either and it actually looks cleaner … though IG has better/more news, stories and no lame blogs from people you’ve never heard of and couldn’t care less about. (Though IG is great about putting those kind of stories in the magazine; i.e. Bart and Nadia or any nobody gymnast who ever visited their gym.) For what it’s worth, they actually both have RSS feeds.
