marketing Men’s Gymnastics
Clinician Tony Retrosi just started a new personal blog called tonyatlantic.
One of his first posts:
… I have just returned from USA Gymnastics National Congress and Trade show that was held with the VISA Championships.
As a coach of women’s (girls) gymnastics, I don’t often get a chance to see a men’s competition. After watching the first day of competition I was so impressed. What a GREAT PRODUCT on the floor. The sad part was- there were very few spectators to see it …

The Men’s NCAA Championships are normally even more exciting than the Women’s, yet get far less attention.
We need some genius to find a way to market Men’s Gymnastics.

constructing a Seat Circle machine
This is a bit of a novelty training device, I feel. Not essential for teaching forward hip circle, but FUN to have in the gym.
Click PLAY or watch one designed on YouTube.
I’m hanging out after Camp with coach Peter Soul who made the first Seat Circle machine I ever saw (2006).
Peter made the first Open Shoulder Trainer I ever saw, as well. (TumblTrak credits Peter with the invention.)
This summer Peter’s working away furiously on some various Floor Bars. I’ll post photos if he ever finishes. 🙂
every journey begins …

Canadian test event concludes
Gymnastics Canada has announced its seven-member women’s team for the 2011 world artistic gymnastics championships in October.

Russia vs USA at Worlds
Moustafina is out. Bross is out.
Of the great cold war rivals, who will win out at World Championships Tokyo?
GymNiceTic compared the nations on all 4 apparatus:
… USA is better on vault, Russia is better on Bars …
With floor it’s the same with Beam – Russia and the USA are on the same level. …
Russia isn’t in such a bad position without Mustafina as everyone thought …
Russia and the USA have both the exactly same chance to win the gold medal (if Russia gets the two Amanars from Nabieva and Paseka) …
Even without Bross, I give USA the edge due to superior depth and discipline.
