imperfect 10s
Lauren Hopkins:
Over the 2014 season, judges awarded 27 perfect 10s while roughly 60 routines earned a score of 9.975, meaning a score of 10 was awarded by one of the two judges present. …
… about 64% of regular season 10s happened on home turf, and that number jumps to 77% when you include the neutral Metroplex Challenge meet, where crowd-pleasing is the name of the game. …
For NCAA gymnastics, the word “perfect” has to be redefined. At this level, it’s as subjective as the scoring, dependent on everything from an athlete’s spot in the lineup to the reaction of the crowd. …
Here’s one “perfect” 10 from this season.
There were too many 10s this season. But they are great PUBLICITY for the sport.
life / gymnastics BALANCE
Tony Retrosi is a philosopher.
His advice:
As a gymnastics club owner and coach coach as well as a gymnastics consultant I have a great deal of experience trying to find and maintain balance and I am not just talking about on a beam. Balance between business and personal life. Balance between my “gym family” and my “home family”. Maintaining balance in my life enable me to be more fit, have better overall health and embrace a better attitude toward life. …
• You’ll wake up excited and happy for the day.
• You’ll have time for others. You’ll be in harmony with the outside environment.
• There will be less worry in your life, and you’ll feel motivated more often than not.
• There will be measurable improvement in fitness and health.
• More people will LIKE you and want to be LIKE you
• You will be more efficient at work …
Here is my #1 piece of advice. UNPLUG at night. …
Hope to see you at Tony’s GYM MOMENTUM CAMP BOSTON June 26-29 at Yellow Jackets Gymnastics.

Court of Arbitration – Rhythmic
I’m surprised.
In the litigation between the FIG and the Rhythmic Gymnastics Technical Committee stemming from an intercontinental judges course in December 2012, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has upheld the appeals of the six members of the Rhythmic Gymnastics Technical Committee implicated in the proceedings.
The decision, and sanctions pronounced by the FIG Disciplinary Committee on July 8, 2013 have been lifted. Additionally, the decision of the FIG Appeals Tribunal on December 10, 2013 has been nullified. The FIG has taken note of the CAS’s decision.
The disciplinary decisions of the FIG concerning the cancellation of brevets awarded at the course mentioned above, and the sanctions pronounced against the former TC President are maintained. …

Espen Jansen injured
Bad news. 😦
Post by Espen Jansen.
He had been hoping to give it one more hurrah.
Jansen, who turned 45 on Dec. 13, is the oldest competitor competing at the international level. He has competed in 14 world championships and 14 European championships, and won 10 Norwegian national titles dating back to 1988. …
Super 6 NCAA predictions
Anne at Gymnastike:
The 2014 NCAA Women’s Championships are just a couple days away and the competition is shaping up to be an all out battle. In my opinion, there are five teams with a legitimate shot at the 2014 Trophy: Florida, Alabama, Oklahoma, LSU, and Utah. If OU or LSU accomplish the feat, it will go down in history as the first national title for their program.
But until the final dismount hits the mat in Saturday’s Super Six, all we can do is speculate. So, I’ve fielded my team of gymnastics experts to weigh in with their Super Six picks. …
Click over to Gymnastike for details.
This year it’s very tough to predict with any confidence. LSU has momentum. Alabama has home court advantage. Florida is ranked #1. …
I fly to Birmingham today.
