Acrobatic Sports and Institut National du Sport (INSEP) prepared a copy of this wonderful historic video for the World Acrobatic Society when they inducted Mr. Nissen into their “Gallery of Legends” in 2001.

Not quite as clean as in podium training, I’m thinking. But great potential.

Back in my old stomping ground, Saskatchewan, this morning I watched Provincial girls compete at the Queen City Kinsmen Invitational.

Stu Cram was there, capturing some nice close-ups, despite the low light.

… Danell Leyva roared back from a slow start to win, surging from fourth to first in the final rotation with a thrilling high bar performance. Leyva finished with a score of 90.664, just ahead of Ukraine’s Mykola Kuksenkov.

Stoi:

… With an Amanar, it’s quite possible that she’s the best gymnast in the world right now. And it’s possible the US could put up 3 UB sets worthy of a low to mid-15. With 3 (or 4) Amanars, watch out, Mutha Russia. …

Douglas Looking Fab

Gabby has it all. With plenty of room for further improvement.

The only question now is whether or not she can be as consistent as Wieber and Raisman. So far, so good.

… I may have to reconsider my prediction that Russia will win Olympics as a Team. USA is looking FAB right now.
