Not an easy job. Catching trampolinists who fly off the elevated bed.

When is Trampoline going to finally be competed at ground level? It would be much safer.

Thanks Brett.

Super difficult tumbling. 6.3 start score. But know that the Japanese Senoh Floor is probably the springiest of any in the world. Many gymnasts compete more advanced skills on Senoh than they do on the rest.

Kenzo did qualify for the Japanese team to Worlds 2015.

Alana Fischer from Manjak’s Gymnastics just put up a cute NCAA recruiting website. 🙂 She’s eligible for the NCAA starting September 2016.

Ariella Käslin (anglicised Kaeslin, born 11 October 1987) is a former Swiss artistic gymnast. Käslin swept all five gold medals at the 2007 Swiss National Championships. She has also represented Switzerland at the World Championships in 2007, 2006 and 2005 and was a medalist on the World Cup circuit. Käslin represented Switzerland at the 2008 Olympics, where she placed 18th in the individual all-around final and 5th in the vault event final. …

In 2008, 2009 and 2010, Käslin was voted by the Swiss public as “Swiss Sportswoman of the Year” …

I was in Switzerland on July 11, 2011 when Käslin announced her retirement from competition. It was a shocker for the local Press.

She’s published her story in German.

Steve Legendre will be competing Pan Ams replacing the injured John Orozco.

I dropped in for the first 2 days of the CMU Camp on invitation from Head Coach Jerry Reighard. He and CMU Associate Head Coach Christine MacDonald were very welcoming. They have 49 years experience combined running this team. 🙂

CMU has a superb campus facility with 7 beam stations, 6 bar stations, 3 vault stations and a floor exercise practice area with four pit areas. The facility also includes a pits and a competition setup for each apparatus and in-ground trampolines one with a Russian “tramp catcher” as well as a 60ft Tumbl Trak.

Over 115 girls registered this year. It looks like Camp may expand to two weeks in 2016.

Though they had girls of all levels, the Level 9-10 gymnasts impressed me most. It’s an excellent idea for girls looking for a future scholarship to register for College Camps like this. Coaches know you are serious when you arrive in person to show what you can do.
