Galieva competed for Russia at Subway, which was 1 week before
AGI. She replaced Oxana Fabrichnova who was injured.

>Also, why is she suddenly blaming Alex Alexandrov for pulling
>her in the Olympics. In a back issue of IG I have it sayz
>in an interview that she 'was injured and could have competed'
>(that is not a direct quote). Why is she switching her

The blame isn't "sudden". The IG statement was propoganda.
IMHO, I was glad to see the truth revealed -- it was truly bold.

>Does anyone have any predictions for 96?
>I think Svetlana Khorkina will be the womens' champion, and
>Nemov will win the mens. China will win both team titles,
>and the US won't place in either. (Russia will be like

Sorry, no predictions from me, though the idea of China
winning both team titles is enchanting. :)

Subject: Re: Help with songs!

I've checked Dory's song clips*. I can definitely tell you where to find the
NCAA song: it's by a group called Exchange and it's on their "Into the
Night" album. My CD is at the office so I can't tell you the exact song,
though it might be the title song. I've only seen them on sale at HMV.
It's good driving music.

I've heard the AMY song before. Nancy Kerrigan used it in a program either
in the '92 or '94 Olympics that I remember not liking very much (didn't like
her moves, not the music). Ever thought of asking the coaches where they
got the music?

The FREnch radio tune, I've heard before but can't place it. Could be a
Tangerine Dream song? The DELE song sounds TD-ish too. Say, is that
Elfi commentating in that piece?

And sorry, no idea on the PEI tune -- didn't even remember that gymnastics was
at the CanWinters in '91 %-).

* As a note, don't bother trying to play these WAV files with Sound
Machine on a Mac - it comes out all kshsshy & garbley. I had to
play them on a PC with a sound card.

Say... any pianists/Tesh-freaks out there seen the John Tesh music book yet?
Off-GYMN e-mail me, if you have.

Grace

On 31 Dec. '95 ***@CAPITALNET.COM responded ...

>AGI.

Actually, Roza's *first* Int'l competition for Russia was the Bosphorus Cup
in Istanbul, Turkey a few months before, where she won the AA, V, & UB, plus
around $5000 US.

Her Russian citizenship was official shortly after the Sabae Worlds, as I
understand it.

-I found a gnarly web site with song samples from *thousands* of albums
(ie - picture going into a listen-before-you-buy record store and being
able to listen to just about *everything* they have). I checked into your
suggestion as soon as I got your message and the song is indeed called
"Into the Night" by the group Exchange. There is an album by the same
name and it also appears on the the CD "Beyond Words". Thanks Grace!


>Ever thought of asking the coaches where they got the music?

-I've asked coaches, gymnasts, choreographers, radio & TV stations,
music stores, etc. and have had no luck. So putting the clips up
on the net was kind of a last resort. (And has worked well so far!)


>The DELE song sounds TD-ish too. Say, is that Elfi commentating
>in that piece?

That sure is Elfi. This song was also identified. It's called
"Alpha" and can be found on the album "Albedo 0.39" by Vangelis.
Apparently, a shorter version is on the soundtrack to "Cosmos".


Two songs down, three to go... Until I make more sound files at least ;-)

Happy 1996 to all... and thanks again, Grace.

Well, I don't know about the age thing, but I know for sure that
the answer with Mary Lou is definitely wrong. Nadia was in all four
event finals in 1976 (I have that on tape, so I saw it for myself).
Also, didn't Latinina (sp) win the maximum number of medals possible in
each of her three Olympics (she won 18 in all, so I assume she did)? In
that case, she must have made all four event finals at three consecutive
Olympics.

Subject: Women's NCAA Video Tapes

I spoke with Meg Stephenson, U of MN assistant coach and president of the
NCAA Women's Coaches Association the other day. They are considering
offering NCAA National tapes for sale as a fundraiser. (The coaches
association pays someone to video tape the meet for them.) If any of you
have comments about this--what's a reasonable cost, would you be
interested, I'd be happy to get some feedback to Meg. She said they were
also looking at putting together a video on recruiting and the process for
potential athletes as there is much confusion out there.
