Many know Victoria Moors in her job as an elite Canadian gymnast regularly bringing intricate choreography, bad-ass tumbling and unique moves to the gymnastics mats.

There are still a few, perhaps, who do not know her in her other role as Twitter life muse and coach. …

A couple of samples:

I only like vegetables as a friend…

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. …
