Gymneo – Yurchenko training

The subscription service Gymneo most recently posted:

Yurchenko part 1 (68min)
Yurchenko part 2 (53min)

I watched both straight through to compare with how we’re introducing that Vault in the Canadian Coach Education program.

The vault is very similar to double layout on Floor.

I was interested in two different hurdle actions compared. As always, the Gymneo graphics are excellent.

The course is digital. Video and PDF.

Coaches can annotate the PDFs or print the material. Coach Kipp got his printed and bound for only $20.

Personally, I’m going to bring both printed and digital copies to future courses. As one coach noted: “Print copies don’t run out of battery in the middle of the session.”

Watanabe’s FIG vision

With Bruno Grandi retiring, there are two candidates in the running for FIG President: Georges Guelzec (FRA) and Morinari Watanabe (JPN). Guelzec runs the European Gymnastics Union while Watanabe is Secretary General of the Japan Gymnastics Association.

Guelzec is well known worldwide. Watanabe is not. He did not declare until the last minute.

Read Watanabe’s campaign pitch.

Guatemala Age Group camp

This camp, hosted in Guatemala City, was unique in that it was the first one that combined an Olympic Solidarity technical course with the full content and focus of the FIG Age Group Programme for Artistic Gymnastics. Indeed, the entire development and world-wide dissemination of the age group programmes has been subsidised annually by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). …

Guatemala has had a surge of interest in Gymnastics with the success of 2012 and 2016 Olympian Ana Sofía Gómez. …

physical ability testing

Myself and José Súcart were the experts for this one. We both agreed it was as good as any of the 5 day camps we’ve led.

The quality and variety of demonstrators at the Camp was a highlight. Some gymnasts are resident at the Gym, doing their schooling upstairs between training sessions.

Jorge Vega Lopez, Floor gold medalist at the 2015 Pan American Games, participated as a demonstrator. He was one of the first gymnasts to join the residential school.

Considering they have only 8-9 clubs in the entire nation, Guatemala is doing great things. Beam is particularly strong.
