Annie sent me the link to the Blenheim Gymnastics plea for assistance in building a new gym.
It’s pretty convincing.

They want to get part of a $1,000,000 Community Fund available for non-profits.
You can help by VOTING for the project online (until Oct 19th, 2011).
I voted. (Registration required, quite painless by Facebook.)
At least in prelims. They should be at least 2 points ahead of China. China has only two consistent DTYs.

Wieber had problems (twisting early) but she’ll fix that for the competition, I’ve no doubt.

I’m not a fan of trampoline ‘spring boards’ for competitive as the ‘timing’ is all wrong, but I love them for everyone else in the gym.
… combination of springboard and trampoline …

… Eurotramp offers two different models of the Booster Board, the model “Basic” for schools and popular sport and the model “Advanced” for clubs and professional sport.
The models differ both in design of the jumping bed and in number of springs.
Both models are available as open-end version (advantage: barrier-free jump-in) and with closed frame. Due to bigger number of spings the closed dispatch is even more powerful than the open one. Each model is adjustable in height between 26,5 and 32 cm …
I tried both at Gymnaestrada. The open ended Advanced is the one I’d buy.
They are heavy. Purchase includes transportation wheels.
Somehow I missed seeing this amazing routine this afternooon.
Three HUGE tricks in the same set, one soon to be named after her, I expect.

She did 4 Handspring Double Front vaults in podium training last night. Yeesh.
For a better version of the video and to make comments, go to her coach, Frank Susana’s Facebook video.
We’ve been wondering (and fearing) when the next girl would try to compete the Produnova vault.
She also works Yurchenko vaults, in case of making Finals.
Update from Gymnastike – Catalina Ponor Injured?
The colourful 24yr-old triple Olympic gold medalist from 2004 is BACK.
… the center of attention at the world gymnastics championships, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
Back in her element after deciding – again – that she’s not cut out for the sedate life of a retiree, the 24-year-old is giving the Romanians some badly needed swagger as they rebuild their once-proud women’s program.
“We need to have a star, a leader on our team,” Romanian coach Octavian Belu said Monday. …
NANCY ARMOUR – Ponor’s return boost for Romania on and off floor
She does fill the role of team leader now that Sandra Izbasa is not here for Romania.
Blythe Lawrence concurs:
… Catalina Ponor stole the show during Romania’s podium training by throwing some of her most difficult skills, including a full twisting double pike dismount on beam and a double layout on floor that she rebounded so high from that she could have done a double front out. Only six months after she returned to training, Romanian head coach Octavian Bellu acknowledged that Ponor is once again Romania’s de-facto star. …
