Ludmilla Tourischeva documentary
MissLyra has translated another classic Soviet Gymnastics documentary.
This is a documentary about Soviet gymnast Ludmilla Tourischeva with English subtitles.
It was filmed in the summer of 1974 before and during the World Championships and shows the national team preparing for them. It also includes a lot of scenes with Tourischeva’s legendary coach Vladislav Rastorotsky and some clips and a very short interview with a young Natalia Shaposhnikova.
The translation of the poem at the end by Aleksandr Blok was taken from the internet. …
Rastorotsky was harsh, be warned. I saw him in Canada with Shaposhnikova once. He was even more severe in person.

Sask MAG Winter Games Team
Three brothers, Jesse, Mitch and Wyatt Tyndall, will compete on the same Team. That must be a Canada Winter Games first. 🙂
Nope. Coach Jim Rand points out that 3 Martin brothers competed in 2007 for PEI – Travis and twins Brett and Tyler.

Candide Thovex ski GoPro
Candide Thovex is renowned as one of the best skiers in the world and we now know what it’s like to spend five minutes in his boots. (Just without all the actual thrills of speeding down a steep slope with no end in sight, which is a good thing.)
The 32-year-old posted a GoPro video on YouTube earlier this week of him nonchalantly going off-peak, weaving through trees like an obstacle course, doing trampoline-like summersaults and all the flips and turns you could ever dream of. It’s a terrifying and mind-boggling ride.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube. The last 30 seconds are scariest. Yeesh.
NCAA scholarships more generous?
In landmark action for major-college sports, schools and athlete representatives from the NCAA’s five wealthiest conferences on Saturday voted 79-1 to expand what Division I schools can provide under an athletic scholarship.
The vote, taken during the NCAA’s annual convention, redefines an athletic scholarship so that it can cover not only the traditional tuition, room, board, books and fees, but also the incidental costs of attending college. That means a scholarship will now be able to pay for items including transportation and miscellaneous personal expenses.
Conservatively this means Division I men’s and women’s athletes collectively stand to gain at least $50 million a year in additional benefits.
Atlantic Coast, Big 12, Big Ten, Pacific-12 and Southeastern conferences programs MIGHT up scholarships in future.
The new rules take effect Aug. 1, 2015, but scholarship agreements for the 2015-16 school year can be executed prior to that date. …
