gymnast Tan Sixin near perfect …

coach Rick — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 15:15:55 +0000

Here’s the IG write up on the last day of Artistic competition at the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore:

In the wake of mistake’s from all-around champion Viktoria Komova, China’s Tan Sixin claimed both women’s gold medals Sunday. Tan, the all-around and uneven bars runner-up, was near perfect on balance beam and floor exercise. Tan nailed her acrobatics on beam, including a high two-foot layout to Korbut; switch Yang Bo; front tuck; and a front aerial sheep jump. She took one step to the side on her dismount (ff, ff 2 1/2) to earn 15.550 (6.3/9.25).

Komova appeared tired after victories Thursday in the all-around and on Saturday in the vault and uneven bars. …

gymnast teaches orangutans how to climb

coach Rick — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 02:26:50 +0000

A Dutch zoo called in the services of an Olympic gymnast to re-teach orangutans how to climb trees in their enclosure.

The zoo Ouwehands Dierenpark Rhenen, located in the centre of the country, said it had renovated the enclosure to allow the orangutans to swing from tree to tree in an outdoor setting above the public — but they’ve forgotten the skill of climbing.

Olympian Epke Zonderland showed the orangutans his skills in the hope of re-teaching them how to swing.

‘It was very funny to teach the monkeys today, I didn’t have any experience with those animals to train, and I was very curious if they would copy me, but I think they did their best,’ Zonderland said. …

From the looks of the video, it seems Epke has more to learn from the beasts.
