I’ve been reluctant to link to this horrific video as it’s my general policy not to post CRASHES.
It’s here, if you want to see for yourself.
That’s Magroune Nesrine, I believe, a Junior from Algeria, in the African Championships 2014 Bars Final.
Though I wasn’t at the arena for the Junior Final, here’s what I’ve heard.
• she’d had problems with double layout dismount all week
• it looks like she ticked the low bar on the dismount giant
• she fractured 2 vertebrae and suffered a serious concussion
• she was last seen in a back brace, but mobile
• people there agreed that the spotting coach’s behaviour was shockingly insensitive
• not shown on the video was that the other Algerian coaches insisted she get up off the mat, not waiting for expert medical support close at hand
The Algerian girls were very good. The coaches there know gymnastics, it’s clear. But moving Magroune after that fall is unforgivable.
Check out the redesigned website and see the new phase of our fundraising campaign. Men’s gymnastics will continue at Temple, whether varsity or not. We need lots of help and hope the gymnastics community will respond (and spread the word beyond our community).
The Temple Team finished their season strong by hitting 29 for 30 routines at the ECAC Conference Championships. This is the exact kind of character that can be expected from gymnasts. Despite trials & tribulations they persist and are still able to reach their potential.
The private GymFever2012 group is discussing this.
An incredible difference in air time.
Is it possible that the speed of the two .gifs is different?
Or is Maroney that much higher?
Looks good.
Normally I’m not a fan of “sliders”, top posts sliding across the page unbidden.
But they’ve done a good job implementing them.
Here’s the official launch announcement:
The designers have opted for simplification and clarification, and they invite us to discover not only a public website, but also the database and administrative tools of an international sports federation. …
Gymnastike’s next Beyond the Routine will feature one of the hottest NCAA programs this season, the LSU Tigers. LSU has been on fire in 2014. They will enter the NCAA Championships with a legit chance of winning the program’s first ever NCAA team title.

AMANDA TURNER:
… African championships is the first of five continental qualifications events this spring for artistic gymnastics …
Each of the five regions can secure a specific number of berths to the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China. The artistic gymnastics competition — for female gymnasts born in 1999 and male gymnasts born in 1997 and 1998 — takes place Aug. 17-24 at the Nanjing Olympic Sports Centre Gymnasium.
The inaugural Youth Summer Olympiad took place in 2010 in Singapore, where Viktoria Komova (Russia) and Yuya Kamoto (Japan) were crowned as the first Youth Olympic all-around champions …
Click through for details on how athletes qualify. Africa, for example, could send 4 MAG, 4 WAG.
On Thursday, Egypt dominated day one of the African championships. In the junior men’s competition, the Egyptian men won the team title over South Africa and Morocco. Egypt’s Ahmeed Youssef (76.000) topped teammate Ahmed Amin (75.133) to take the junior all-around title. South Africa’s Muhammad Khaalid Mia (73.433) won the bronze. …
Egypt can send 1 male gymnast. South Africa one, most likely Muhammad Mia.
Of course those nominations must be approved by the Egyptian and South African Olympic Committees. That’s not guaranteed.
Steve Penny says that USA, again, will not send a female gymnast to YOG. When is Marta going to retire? 😦
