She’s truly the best vaulter in the world.

Canada’s women were most successful in Osijek with three Golds in all. The country’s top performer at the 2011 World Championships, Christine Lee, outscored the field on Uneven Bars (14.475), while sixteen year old Elsabeth Black won Saturday’s Vault Final (14.575) and edged out Switzerland’s Giulia Steingruber for the Floor title (13.725) on Sunday …

Former Ute Jeni McNeil likes the photos on Utah Facebook right now.

The end of Steph’s FX at NCAA team finals, with Utah fans in the background in yellow t-shirts. Yellow? I know… don’t ask, it’s a long story. 200 followed us to GA. Best fans ever… Utes Rocked the House!

Impressive as Utah’s fan base is, Corvallis (Oregon State) pop: 45,000 draws more fans / capita than does Utah in Salt Lake City.

Thanks American gymnastics.

“Rhythmic Gymnastics – A Tribute.”

… it is a large coffee table publication printed on quality photographic paper with 240 photographs – so buyers get plenty for their money!

Self publishing is not a cheap option and this book will be something of a special purchase for interested buyers. I’m conscious that the price puts it out of the range for many younger gymnasts and fans so have arranged for the book to be available in e book format for viewing on iPads and iPhones. The price for this option should bring it within their reach. …

The book itself is about $130, a collector’s item. The Apple ebooks edition less than $12.

Thanks to the coach of Olympic Beam Champion Shawn Johnson for welcoming me to his beautiful gyms.

Chow

Here’s his old gym, the one flooded before the 2008 Olympics.

competitive Gym

And here’s his new gym, built late 2010.

Rec Gym

I was there delivering new Tumbl Trak equipment. And interviewing Chow about his life in America. His coaching philosophy.

Needless to say, he’s a busy man in the lead-up to Olympic Trials San Jose. Media is at his gym in Iowa non-stop.

Sadly for me, the gymnasts had the morning off on the day I was there, Easter Monday.

Olympic Year?

That means we due for an onslaught of photo journalism from China. Coaches being mean to disturbingly small and young looking children.

Photos of smiling or older gymnasts never make it past the editor.

PhotoBlog – In China, never too young to begin rigorous gymnastics training

… not to say that many Chinese coaches aren’t severe. The concept of Respect in Sport has not gotten there yet.

I assume it’s maximum 2 medals / nation. Otherwise there will be none for any other competitors. This team is powerhouse.
