National Gymnastics Week February 11-17 aims to get the country moving with activities and events for people of all ages and abilities in communities from coast to coast.

From bouncing five year olds starting out in their first recreational programs to elite athletes aiming to compete one day at the Olympics, National Gymnastics Week has something for everyone.

“As a kid I loved going to the gym with my brothers,” says 2012 Olympic women’s trampoline champion Rosie MacLennan. …

One of the highlights of the week is Gymnastics Hour when clubs across the country will open their doors with the simple goal of seeing how many people they can get doing gymnastics in Canada at the same time for one hour.

This year Gymnastics Hour is set to go on Saturday, February 16th from 2:00?3:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.

I helped set up the new Manjak’s Gymnastics website.

It’s taking off now without my assistance. Nice graphics.

They’re doing a great job with the look and feel. Very welcoming to all sorts of members as they grow the club.

Triple Twist polled bloggers and readers.

My guess:

“Florida and Alabama for sure because of their depth, and results last year. Michigan, because they are on a roll. UCLA because they are at home. Oklahoma because they are the best coached, and LSU — they have Jay from Georgia joining the coaching staff, Savona as a great new recruit. They have momentum and a superb FX line-up.”

Fans of Utah, Nebraska, Stanford, Georgia and Oregon State will disagree.

Those teams have had red flags early in the season.

Bloggers were surveyed before the injury to Utah’s Corrie Lothrop.

Savvy Stanford may surprise their way back to contend for the title as they did last season. I’ll try NOT to be surprised if they do.

Dedicated to the top All-Arounders of the Olympics whom work so hard and inspire us all.

I wonder which is easier on the Achilles?

… Rebounding tumbling to a jump? Or trying to absorb the landing?

Recently at No Limits Gymnastics Panama coach Daniella had 3 girls learn kip within a week time span.

I insisted they have a FIESTA for each. 🙂

Shawn Johnson said kip was the most difficult skill she ever learned.

Gymtastics GymTools sells a package of task cards that can be used in setting up Bar circuits.

This package contains 30 professionally illustrated skill cards. These visuals can be printed out to 8 1/2″ x 11″ on your personal printer. Great to place within your circuits for children to visually see how skills and progressions are performed correctly.

Contested in the first modern Olympics in 1896 and also part of the ancient Games in Olympia, wrestling will now join seven other candidate sports battling for one spot in a revamped program. …

Board members were given a report on each of the Olympic sports which provided details on 39 criteria such as popularity, finances, tickets sold and governance, before a secret vote. …

IOC recommends to cut wrestling from 2020 Olympics

Very odd decision, especially since women’s wrestling was added 2004.

… Wrestling will now join the seven shortlisted sports – baseball/softball, karate, roller sports, sport climbing, squash, wakeboarding and wushu – vying for inclusion in the 2020 Olympic programme as an additional sport.

The eight sports are scheduled to make presentations to the Executive Board at its meeting in St Petersburg, Russia, in May. The EB will select which of the eight sports to recommend to the 125th IOC Session for inclusion as an additional sport on the 2020 programme. …
