I was a
little disappointed, too. I was
really looking forward to seeing
Nadia's teammates from
1976. Their reunion was
barely featured and none of
the women were
identified. Anyone know if Teodora Ungureanu was
present?
BTW...I once read somewhere (maybe Bela's
book??) that he and Marta originally
thought that Teodora would be the star, not Nadia. They were both exceptional
gymnasts in their prime.

Mogilny/French Intl.
The weekend edition of l'Equipe has a preview of the French Intl. and a
story about Mogilny. Some of the gymnasts competing will be
(actually,
that should be "were" since
the meet was held over the weekend) Belenky,
Misutin, Korobchinsky, Voropaev, Ivankov, Khorkina, Kochetkova,
Podkopayeva, and Begue. Thirty-seven countries are
participating, and
this meet is a qualifier for
the European Cup.
As for Mogilny, the
article states that he will return to competition at
this
meet. Some interesting dirt is that
Mogilny was "hated by national
team coach Leonid Arkaev" and
that UKR refused to let him compete for
them
because he trained in France. About
his comeback, Mogilny said,
"It's true that
I'm taking a big gamble, but I want to prove that I'm
still
one of the best on PH."

Apparatus ?'s
I
would appreciate some help: I am
giving a speech on Kim Zmeskal and would
like to include a brief description of the 4 women's
apparatuses. Just a
brief description of each, please. All I really want are the
measurements
(including how long the vault run-way
is) and basic material.
Please send me private e-mail at B10j@aol.com. Thanks!

Gymnastics coverage on TV this past weekend
Wide World featuring Nadia
does Romania:
This was the first time I'd seen directly comparable
footage of the
1976 and 1980 Nadia in close enough proximity to really
appreciate
how much better she was as an "old
lady." Too bad the US
television
audience never got to see her compete
at the Moscow games.
Two annoying items: I had primed my roommate to check out
her
Comaneci dismount off bars, and they cut away from it; to make
matters worse, they muted the music for the end of her floor
ex (grr...).
And they were convinced for some
reason that "Nadia's Theme"
was from a
movie soundtrack; it was (and for all I know, still
is)
the theme for the soap opera "The Young and the Restless."
Interesting
that they chose not to show the famous Time
Nadia cover during the Montreal
games--"She's perfect, but
the Olympics
aren't." (Nadia was pictured
on the beam.)
The Mixed Pairs:
While two of the gymnasts were
waiting for their scores,
it was amusing to hear
the announcement in the background for
the
rhythmic demo, and then see the two gymnasts lean forward
and turn to watch the demo, while the commentators
nattered
on obliviously.
Is anyone
besides me from the D.C. area and old enough to
remember
Mohini, the first white Bengal tiger (tigress,
actually)
to be in a U.S. zoo? Most, if not all, white tigers in
U.S.
zoos are her descendants (her usual consort was
a
handsome [orange] Bengal named Rajah).
I thought it
was most appropriate that her
namesake's leotard was
black and white :-). Actually, because they are strong,
graceful, and lithe (and even incredibly skinny--the
flounders
of the big cats), tigers fit closely to
most images of
gymnastics, even the not-so-useful
bodyweight image.
The gymnastics, unfortunately, was not all that
wonderful.
Looked like almost everyone was struggling with jet lag,
tiredness, nerves, or some other lack of concentration.
Sharipov was great on PB and HB, though. Odd to see
a
meet in which competitors do better on beam or
pommel
horse than they do on floor ex.

Sports Illustrated article
Finally, I can post again. My email address has gone through some
changes
(unknown to me!)....anyway,
I tried sending this last week, but here it is
again...
I
finally read the article from Sport Illustrated last night. From what I've
read
here on gymn, there had been differing opinions about
the article, so I
was curious. I think the journalist who wrote the
article (I didn't catch
his/her name) couldn't
decide what the point was that he was trying to make!
I've never read an
article that was so confused. The
first part was about how
Miller has gotten old, and will have trouble
keeping up with the younger
gymnasts. Then, the article says 'don't give up on
her yet' .
It sounded to
me like the journalist
ALREADY had given up on her, and was trying to convince
himself
otherwise.
In addition, it compared the 'older' gymnast Miller(18), to the 'younger'
gymnasts,
one of which was Borden(17) (?????)
***reminds
me of the 'geriatric' comment from the Globe that was mentioned***
It
was really a strange article....especially when it
pointed out that
Borden was a virtual unknown. Huh?
It was also a HORRIBLE
picture of Miller.
Just my dime.

Nadia on ABC
Hello all gymners
Did
anyone else see Nadia on television Saturday night? I think that
ABC did a wonderful
job, despite a few mistakes. That
program really touched my
heart. I didn't believe my eyes, did Nadia
really just do a simple layout for
one of her
floor passes? I know that
gymnastics has gotten more difficult over
the
years, but that seemed much too simple!
Watching the program reminded me of
a movie
I had seen in the late 80's about Bela finding Nadia
and coaching her to
become a champion. Does anyone else remeber
watching it? I would really
love
to see the movie again, please tell me if you
know how I could see it again.
I
am really glad I got to see Nadia and the
mixed pairs competition on tv
Saturday.

already -- now there's only
four left. Check out the four remaining ones and

one you like the best. The URL is
