Elise Ray on GymCastic
The most recent episode of the audiocast is exclusively dedicated to an interview with Elise, a household name in gyms around the world.
Mary Elise Ray … represented the United States at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney and the 1999 World Championships (8th AA).
Elise Ray has three uneven bars skills named after her in the Code of Points:
Ray I: Facing inward, a stalder backward with release and counter movement forward in flight to hang
Ray II: Toe-on Tkatchev release move (rated D in the most recent Code of Points)
Ray III: Double twisting double layout dismount rated G – the highest difficulty rating possible
Videos of those are linked from GymCastic episode 31.
Her most awesome accomplishment, however, was Ray to Tkachev. Easy. 🙂

In 2000, Ray won both the US National Championships and the Olympic Trials. Won the NCAA AA in 2001 for Michigan. She worked for Cirque. Is in the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame.
Elise is now an assistant coach with the University of Washington Gym Dawgs.

Georgia Season Rewind
There are plenty of relieved people in Athens, Georgia.
After the team finally got back to the Super 6.
… The biggest question concerning the Georgia Gym Dogs going into the season was whether they could bury the ghosts of past failures behind the leadership of first-year coach Danna Durante.
They did.
Georgia’s falling down short of the Super Six the last three seasons is the major reason Durante is the coach now instead of Jay Clark.
… the Gym Dogs finally cleared that hurdle into the championship finals and finished sixth, their highest since winning the last of five consecutive national titles in 2009. …
… the biggest jump came from LSU, which hired Clark as an assistant after he resigned as Georgia’s head coach last spring. LSU had a breakout 2013 when it posted the second-best finish in school history at No. 5. LSU faced Georgia five times this season and out-pointed the Gym Dogs in every meet — Metroplex Challenge, dual at Baton Rouge, SECs, NCAA Preliminaries and Super Six.
