Katrina and friends.

Inside Gymnastics just posted the cover of their 50 Most Photogenic issue, my favourite of the year.

Good call. Ivana Hong is cover girl.

UPDATE: Watch Grozdova competing the skill in … 1978!

The best coaching staff photos I’ve ever seen were shot by Missoula photographer Jonathan Qualben

Those are some of the Mismo Gymnastics and Cheer coaches.

New blog … about Artistic Gymnastics.

No … actually that was techno-geek coach Don Eckert. (He loves it. And I don’t have one. Sob.)

Big Fake Smile, instead, got an old school Sears Action Gymnastics Set … on eBay. For $.99 plus S&H.

This was selected the #1 photo ever published in Outside magazine, as chosen by one of their photographers.

That’s surfing legend Laird Hamilton and daughter Reece, shot by Peggy Sirota.

It reminded me of all the gymnastics coaches I’ve known and their baby toss stunts. Dave Arnold, for example, used to toss his kids back and forth to other coaches … each time stepping back one pace. The goal was to see how far apart the two “spotters” could get.

Shiro Tanaka’s kids could do “Geinger”, “Jaeger” and many other releases by the time they were 6 months old. (Yes, he did drop them once in a while, on to a soft mat.)

One of Shiro’s new borns, first day at the gym, he tossed into the pit. We uncovered him sitting quietly and happily near the bottom.

Leave a comment if you have any baby toss stories of your own.

Press coverage of that meet was terrible this year. Seems we have too many bloggers, not enough reporters in 2010.

From Dory Dynna:

… pretty much sums up the city from Feb.12-28. …

I’ve always been a bit of a Vancouver skeptic, myself, thinking it’s somewhat over-rated.

But I must now bow down to the city on Canada’s left coast. Congratulations on a job well done.

You know those Japanese reality TV game shows?

Here’s the real thing.

The 24th annual Tough Guy Challenge took place last weekend, on Sunday, January 31st, on South Perton Farm, near Wolverhampton, England.

… this year’s race still attracted over 5,000 men and women – all of them signing a disclaimer saying “It’s my own bloody fault for being here”. …

The Challenge is annual event to raise cash for charity with funds going to the Mr. Mouse Farm for Unfortunates.

The 1992 Olympic Champion, Tatiana Gutsu, was never one of my favourite gymnasts. I recall being very disappointed that she won in Barcelona.

I’ve not heard good things about Tatiana as a coach, either. (I hope I heard wrong.)

Gymnastics…and other things linked to quite a good recent photo shoot, however.

I didn’t have the heart to embed a horrible fluff video. Nor a horrible Gutsu montage.

If you’ve got something good to say about the Olympic Champion, please add a comment.
