Is Vanessa Zamarripa human!?

Just got home from the UCLA/Stanford dual meet. Everything Vanessa Zamarippa does – vault,tumbling,beam dismount – is 3 to 4 feet higher than every other gymnast. And we are talking about 2 teams filled with world class gymnasts. How does she do it?!

No such joy in Utah. Junior Corrie Lothrop tore her Achilles and will be out for the remainder of the season.

It’s too late to red-shirt, but next season Corrie should be good to go. This is her second Achilles tear. So both will have been repaired by this time 2014.

Carballo: “no idea what happened”

Carballo Senior is age-69, close to retirement after 50+ years dedication to Gymnastics in Spain.

He’s a coaching legend.

But Jesus has been “disqualified from his duties as coach of Spanish female gymnastics” due to a complaint by a former gymnast.

I’ve not yet seen the name of the gymnast, but she’s at least 50ys-old.

Google translate that for details.

In 2008, Stern missed by just 3 centimeters the chance to try for the U.S. Olympic team as a high jumper and decided to find a new sport.

A friend suggested bodybuilding, and Stern started competing that very year. …
