Kevin Mazeika and I just released our first Apple App – ChickenDinner a sport assessment App Version 1

It works on iPad 2, 3 and the new mini iPad

Version 2 is being developed now and we are looking for input …

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Here is the link to the app on iTunes. ($4.99)

It’s also available from the App Store.

Looks amazing. Very comprehensive. I’m not sure how many of those features I’d actually use, however.

I’d definitely use the side by side video comparison. Voice for sure.

The videos are date stamped on the timeline automatically. Nice.

Often a gymnast asks for a copy of a certain video clip in training. It couldn’t be easier to email them a copy.

Leave a comment if you’ve tried this App.

Seems Mykola is moving from Kiev, Ukraine to Vladimir in Russia. He’ll strengthen the Russian National team. For sure.

Mykola Kuksenkov is a Ukrainian gymnast. He competed for the national team at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the Men’s artistic team all-around and the … all-around. …

They were initially awarded 3rd position although a successful appeal from the Japanese team over one of their athletes scores resulted in Japan being promoted from 4th to 2nd place, displacing Ukraine from the medals. In the individual final Mykola also finished in 4th position, again just missing out on a medal. …
