Verona van de Leur – web cam

Former Dutch gymnast Verona van de Leur seems to be promoting a new career in the porn industry.

She posted 4 teaser videos on the Kanaal van veronavdleur YouTube channel over the past 2 months.

Here’s her most popular video. That’s definitely NOT SAFE FOR WORK or GYM.

She was jailed earlier this year. A sad story.

No tape on her knee. Recall that Christine had a dislocated patella earlier this season, the same injury as Rebecca Bross.

Gimnasia Latina – Spanish language blog

#FIGTest12 Gimnasia Latina, based out of Buenos Aires, is here at the London Test Meet.

For now they publish only in Spanish. But I get every post sent to me Google translated into English. Here’s a sample:

The Spanish team gymnastics arrived yesterday in London to participate on Tuesday, in the pre-Olympic tournament that will distribute the final berths for the 2012 London event, marked on the calendar of these athletes for four years. …

… Jesus Carballo emphasizes the preparation of all hard selected. “This tournament is novel. So far, after the World Cup, the gymnasts down the intensity of your workouts, but this year has maintained a high level of demand “, which even led them to train hard during Christmas. …

… You can get the general idea of what was posted originally in Spanish, but the translation is far from perfect.

It’s nice to see such a professional site dedicated to the Spanish language.

On a sad note, Manuel Carballo withdrew from the competition with a knee injury dismounting PB.

Gymnastics Coaching on Facebook

Facebook has blundered over and over again in how they’ve managed “Fan pages”, later called “Business pages”.

Sigh … 😦

But once again I’ve got the Gymnastics Coaching Facebook page operational. You can LIKE that page here. Until Facebook breaks it again.

Preseason outlook: Stanford has what is perhaps the best freshman class in the nation, composed of an Olympian (Wing), a World medalist (Hong) and one of the most graceful dancers in the U.S. (Shapiro). They were eliminated from last year’s NCAA Championships at Regionals, which was a huge upset …
