Subject: More Mary Lou

There's a little bit about Mary Lou Retton in the newest edition of Sassy
magazine. Along with a picture of her, she describes her perfect day as the
day she won the Olympics AND the day she got married, also saying she knew
the day her baby was born would overtake both. If the Mary Lou info isn't
enough to make you buy the mag, the update on the hottest looks in summer
shoes certainly is!

Well stated, David. I couldn't agree more. I would like to stress that
gymnastics should be encouraged at all levels and all ages. Not
everybody can be the star competitor, but anybody can realize the
mental and physical rewards that gymnastics can provide. In turn,
this will help one to excell in the career of their choice. Of course,
this applies to both men and women.

The bottom line is that deciding to pursue gymnastics to any
particular level does not limit one's ability to be successful
in any chosen career.

Subject: Gymnaestrada

Hi Gymners,

Unfortunately I'll not go to Gymnaestrada. I Can't. I'll have
nacional events in sports acrobatics in that time. Its more important to
my coach win the nacional events in sports acrobatics then go to
demonstration events. Its more important to my club also.
As a matter of fact I win once again the Nacional championships in
Mixed Pairs last week.I'll keep working to international championships
next year.
Some classes of Ginasio Clube Portugues, my current club,will go to
Gymnaestrada. If you need any information about Portugal participation
I'll send soon.

Regards from Portugal

Subject: introduction Hi everyone,My name is Anne and I am 19 years old.I am a
student at Oxford

Brookes University in the United Kingdom studying geological sciences.The
university does not have a gymnastics club and at the moment i am trying to
find a veterans club that i can join.I have never had proper coaching but
considering this i am pretty good at gymnastics.I helped coach a gymnastics
team at school and have helped out at a local club in Oxford in my spare time.
I think GYMN is a really good idea because in Britain we do not get very
much coverage on tv so it will be interesting to find out scores from the USA
as well as information about gymnasts past present and future.
If anyone wants any information about British gymnasts then let me know

There are colleges and collegiate coaches out there who do take the
scholar-athlete approach very seriously. William and Mary, the 1994 and 95
USA Gymnastics collegiate champion in men's gymnastics is a case in point.
Over 20% of their men graduates since 1973 have gone on to medical school.
In the last 22 years, 96% of their gymnasts have graduated from college
with the vast majority going on to have very successful careers and family
lives. More coaches at all levels need to incorporate a philosophy based on
the long term benefits of gymnastics and education into their programs.
There is much more to gymnastics than just placing first.

Many, many times I have been able to use analogies with my 10-year-old
about school vs. gymnastics. When that math problem doesn't come out
right, I ask how many kips did she attempt before she made the
first one and does she make every one even now? Gymnastics is in part
responsible for the A/B report cards she gets.

Svetlana Todorova says she is unsure if she will go to Sabae (if you
saw her compulsories in Dortmund you wont have to wonder why)..
although she says she will go to the Universiade in Japan.

I also sent her a PJ Harvey cassette so if you get really scared
by her next FX routine music you know who to thank..

Hi gang,

I will be receiving Nationals results daily, but will post them the next
day. The fax comes late at night with the results of that day, I don't
see it until I get to work the next morning, and thus don't have a chance
to post until I get home from work. (I know, I know, I could come home
for lunch, but...)

Here are results from Tuesday, May 23rd.
