EDGE Symposium

Elite Development Gymnastics Education.

June 19-20, 2015 at Illinois Gymnastics Institute (IGI) in Chicago

I want to attend this new event. Check the curriculum.

Tammy Biggs & Todd Gardiner will teach you the systems, drills, spotting and concepts the best elite coaches know and utilize. EDGE is an intensive clinic that will greatly improve your knowledge base. Tammy and Todd have coached Olympic, World, and Junior Olympic gymnasts for the past three decades. They love sharing their knowledge and experience to help you, and your staff become better coaches.

Cost $450 for 1 coach with 1 gymnast. Discounts for more people. A great way for clubs to upgrade their Head Coaches.

Note that it’s geared for those who want to develop Elite FIG gymnasts, as well as J.O.

new TV show – “Douglas Family Gold”

Planned (working title).

Gabrielle “Gabby” Douglas stunned the world in 2012 by becoming the first African American in history to win the individual all-around gold medal at the Summer Olympics. Behind her meteoric rise was a supportive family willing to sacrifice everything for years to help her dream.

Now 19, Gabby is ready to do it all over again in hopes of making it back to the medal podium in 2016. The Douglas family shuttles between California and Ohio to support Gabby’s training regimen while also juggling their own lives.

Her brother John is the family’s second Olympic hopeful in track and field, while devoted sisters Arie and Joy are eager to blaze their own paths. “Momager” Natalie keeps this tight-knit family in check, knowing regardless of what happens, “Team Douglas” has already won gold.

… Ireland Rugby legend and all-time leading points scorer Ronan O’Gara take on former Olympic Champion and Romanian national gymnastics icon Andreea Raducan. Will it be the brute force of Rugby or the poise and agility of gymnastics that emerges triumphant …

Mackenzie‘s still looking for a College scholarship, by the way. With an awesome double layout on Floor (VIDEO), she could make pretty much make any Floor line-up in the NCAA. 🙂

the Leyva on P Bars

Giant 1/1 to one bar.

Great idea. He was credited an E-part and will like have the skill named. But I’m not sure I want to credit the one he competed at Doha. Not enough control in the final handstand.
