The February 2011 issue of Inside Gymnastics magazine, featuring Shawn Johnson on the cover, is in the mail to subscribers.

I’m impressed with Shawn’s commitment to training. While Nastia is still constantly on the road, Shawn’s been in the gym.

Chow cautions fans not get too excited:

… Though Shawn Johnson was added to the U.S. national team, the 2008 Olympic balance beam champion is still protecting the knee she injured during a ski trip in January 2010. Johnson recently had minor surgery to clean out her left knee, but the 19-year-old Iowan is still cautious about pushing too hard, according to her coach, Chow Liang.

“Shawn still has her challenges ahead of her,” Chow told IG. “And I think one of the bigger challenges is … her knee. At this point, we don’t have a clear picture of how much she handle yet.” …

Getting your knee scoped is normally no big deal. But don’t expect to see her compete before August at earliest.

Does your country have a national magazine for your sport?

Mine doesn’t. And hasn’t since the 1980s.

That might be changing …

Gymnastics Canada is asking Canadians to take an online survey by February 21st. That input will “help shape” a possible Gymnastics in Canada online magazine.

One sample question:

results of the survey so far.

To participate, Canadians need be invited by email. Check with your Provincial Federation to see how to get one of those emails.

Rewriting Russian Gymnastics linked to the Russian Federation’s magazine ‘Gymnastika‘, #3.

It’s available online free … in Russian. No translation available.

See the magazine here.

Update: A better link for this issue and the others is Anna Pavlova’s official website. Thanks Alan.

The Federation has updated their website. (That can be Google translated to English.)

Banker Andrey Kostin was elected President of the Artistic Gymnastics Federation of Russia (FSGR) for a second term on December 15. The 54-year-old ran unopposed and was elected unanimously. …

Rodionenko credits Kostin and his bank for the resurgence of Russian gymnastics. Funding National Team and buying apparatus for Round Lake and gyms around the country.

Often the official sources of news at major gymnastics events SUCK. They are slooowwww to post, boring, sanitized. … You know what I mean.

But in Rotterdam, as a gymnastics news aggregator, I find myself linking to FIG and USAG just as often as blogs and specialized sites. 

International Gymnast magazine is doing a great job on Facebook, already. (Inside Gymnastics has yet to much get started.)

Grace Chiu just arrived on a red-eye from Rhythmic Commonwealth Games Championships. She’s my favourite gymnastics photographer though they’ll be hundreds more here by tomorrow. We’ll be swamped with pics.

… Still, Gymnastics Examiner and Couch Gymnast have been my best sources at Worlds, so far. Gymnastike for video. … But old media is closing the gap. They’ve finally figured out that readers want real time, interesting news.

Most surprising is the International Gymnastics Federation. As a politically driven natural monopoly, I would have predicted they would be the very worst source of useful information. But check out their news feed. It is truly excellent.

Kudos to Meike Behrensen, Philippe Silacci and their media team. The FIG is an easy punching bag. But it’s stand up to acknowledge, too, when they are doing things right.

So far Twitter has been near useless for Worlds. I’ve been using the hashtag #gymnastics2010. Not much happening there. USAG will use #2010wc and #USA2010wc once the competition starts. Hopefully one of those will catch on.

What should have happened is that meet organizers would announce the hash tag. But the guy updating the official Worlds website has yet to show up at the venue. I was optimistic about gymnastics2010.com at first, but it’s been a disappointment so far, even though they have Brigid contributing.

Leave a comment if I’ve missed mentioning one of your favourite sites. Some of the National Federations have some super keen contributors here. I’ve probably not even seen their posts.
