Extractions: OLYMPIC HISTORY Gymnastics has been an Olympic sport from ancient times and from the start of the modern Games in 1896. Until 1924, when gymnastics settled into a format not unlike the one we know today for artistic gymnasts, the sport also featured rope climbing, tumbling, club swinging, pole vault and even swimming among its disciplines. At Paris in 1924, men competed in individual and team events on each gym apparatus. The women followed in Amsterdam in 1928. Since then, the dominant force has been the Soviet Union, while the former Soviet bloc countries posed the biggest threat. China, too, with its diminutive talent and aptitude for harsh regimes of discipline, is a force to be reckoned with in gymnastic pursuits, though its dominance on the diving boards is not replicated so rigidly in the gymnasium. Two of the most famous gymnasts in history are both Russian. Larysa Latynina remains the most medalled Olympian in history, with 18 medals between 1956 and 1964, including nine gold, five silver and four bronze. Olga Korbut, the diminutive star of the 1972 Games stole more hearts than she won gold medals but her love affair with the media was one of the highlights of the Munich Games.

Extractions: Gymnastics, one of those few sports that can claim a classical birth, is not what it was in ancient times. For a start, the athletes no longer perform naked as they did at the Olympiad of old, "gymnos" being the Greek word for "naked". Secondly, to go by monosyllabic comments made at post-victory press conferences, there appears to be little left to remind us of the original purpose of the sport; the Greeks believed that symmetry of mind and body was possible only when the physical was balanced by the intellectual. Then there's the fact that trampolining will bounce the sport into the 21st century in Sydney. The gymnasium of ancient Greece, where the sport was born, was a place of cultural, artistic, musical and philosophical well-being, and gymnastics was an activity advocated by various luminaries, including Plato, Aristotle and Homer, though the Greeks were not alone in the gym in those early days. The sport was also used for training soldiers in China, India and Persia.

At the 1976 Games in Montreal Comaneci amazed the crowd, and officials, by becoming the first gymnast to record a perfect score of 10 in Olympic competition. Even more amazingly, she achieved the feat six times during the Games. In doing so, the Romanian teenager became a household name around the world, and one of the most popular figures of the Montreal Olympics. Comaneci was carrying on where the Soviet Union's Olga Korbut had left off in Munich in 1972.

David is a former Ohio State University gymnast, and has over 27 years of gymnastics training, competition, and coaching experience. His wife Sandi is a former drill team dancer and "Children's Theater" actress. David began sharing his coaching talents by helping disadvantaged kids at a local YMCA in his spare time. As these kids showed some promise, David would solicit assistance from local gyms to take on some of these kids and to assist them financially. Not many gyms were found that would agree to coach these kids and to assist them financially. Even some well known local gyms turned down his requests. This is how David and Sandi's vision of Tumbleweed Gymnastics Inc. was born. Today Tumbleweed Gymnastics Inc. ministers to kids and adults of all shapes and sizes, not just the petite, but the big and tall and not so small. We also minister to special Olympic and special needs kids, and assists financial when needed.

From 1947 through 1964, trampolining was included as an event in gymnastics competitions by both the AAU and NCAA. The first trampoline World Championships were held in 1964, and trampoline was first recognized as a sport in its own right in the United States in 1967. Trampoline made its debut as an Olympic sport at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. Description of Events TRAMPOLINE Trampoline routines are performed on 7'x 14' web or string beds that can propel the gymnast up to 30 feet in the air. A competitor takes as many preliminary bounces as necessary for height and control, before beginning the first of 10 skills in a routine. Two routines are performed, a compulsory and a voluntary. The compulsory routine must include four required elements, plus six other skills chosen by the athlete. The second routine is a 10-skill voluntary, made up of single, double or triple somersaults with multiple twists. No skill may be repeated within either routine. A successful routine will show consistency of height, proper technique and a minimum deviation from the center of the bed. The routine must end under control in an upright position. SYNCHRONIZED TRAMPOLINE Synchronized trampoline demands the same athletic skill as individual trampoline, while adding the element of precision timing. Athletes perform two routines, a compulsory and a voluntary. Using two trampolines, two athletes perform identical 10-skill routines at the same time. In this most artistic event, each performs a mirror image of the other, doubling the visual beauty of the competition. The goal is to have both trampolinists in total synchronization of skills, height and form.

Extractions: WHAT IS RG? Modern rhythmic gymnastics began as a non-competitive sport in Eastern Europe at the beginning of this century and originally emerged as a criticism of the gymnastics of the time, which did not distinguish between gymnastics for men and for women. It may, however, be regarded as a movement specifically aimed at women's physical fitness, because it was developed on the basis of their biological and physiological characteristics. But over time, it has also had an impact on men's gymnastics by modernizing and reforming it. The sport consists of exercises of movement, which are arranged to music, combining dance and athletics with the aim of displaying an aesthetic harmony by control of body movement. It is developed from the natural movements of walking and running, coupled with grace, flexibility, endurance and self-expression. Rhythmic gymnastics is still primarily a European sport but has spread across the world. Rhythmic gymnastics is still primarily a European sport but has spread across the world.

Extractions: Inevitably it became necessary for the two sections to go their own ways with separate committees. The club was then renamed Croydon Gymnastics Club for Boy's. Despite lack of funds, the club prided itself on its ability to grow and develop. In 1991 the club started structured gymnastics classes for pre-school children under 5 years, becoming the first to do so in Croydon. Croydon School of Gymnastics celebrated its 25th Anniversary in June of 1992. Then, in 1993, the club opened its doors to girls, and for the 3rd time the club's name was changed to Croydon School of Gymnastics . Croydon School of Gymnastics is now acknowledged as one of the top clubs in South West London with considerable success in both regional and national competitions. Competition success is obviously important and the club is rightly proud of the achievements of its top performers. However, the club has built its reputation of being a popular and thriving London club, building a firm foundation by catering for various disciplines for all ages, and abilities and now boasts a membership of approximately 200. The club runs classes six days a week including classes for:- Pre-School structured Classes for under 5's Recreational Classes for age 6-14 Work with performers in Theatre, TV and Films

http://www.stalbertgymnastics.com/history.html

Extractions: The St. Albert Gymnastics Club St. Albert Gymnastics Club is a not-for-profit, community-based organization governed by a volunteer board of 12 members. The Club is currently operating seven days per week and its membership is in excess of 500 members. The Club employs approximately 37 part-time coaches, two part-time program heads, and one full time administrator. The Club was formed in January, 1975 when a group of parents felt that there was a need for a gymnastics club in St. Albert. A market survey was done to determine the interest in gymnastics in the community. On October, 1975, the St. Albert Gymnastics Club was incorporated under the Societies Act in the Province of Alberta. While in Sir George Simpson, the Club's registration increased to over 225 members, employing approximately 15 coaches and two part-time program heads. Because of limited space and time constraints imposed by the school, the Club was unable to grow to meet the ever-increasing demand from the community. The Board decided the time had come to move into a permanent facility. In December of 1990, with the help of many volunteers, 7,500 sq ft. at #12, 8 Riel Drive was leased and renovated to become the new home of the St. Albert Gymnastics Club.

http://www.spu.edu/depts/athletics/w-gymnastics/history.htm

Extractions: Coaches, Won-Lost Records The roots of a richly successful women's intercollegiate gymnastics program at Seattle Pacific University can be traced back to 1954, when the recently-completed Brougham Pavilion was the site of the first major meet conducted west of the Mississippi River. The inaugural women's meet, the AAU Pacific Northwest Open, featured a wide array of events which included the flying rings in addition to today's traditional disciplines. At that time, there was no balance beam on the premises, so Ken Foreman, the Seattle Pacific athletic director at the time, constructed one from a piece of lumber. The finished beam measured the required four inches in width, but was over 10 inches tall. It was Foreman, a former NCAA champion gymnast and world record-holder in the 20-foot rope climb, who organized the event. The meet, which later became known as the Washington Open in the Sixties, became an annual fixture, attracting most of the region's major clubs. The sport began to take a more permanent foothold at SPU in 1972. George Lewis, a renowned local coach, international authority and founder of Gymnastics Incorporated, moved his club from the Seattle YMCA to Brougham Pavilion's auxiliary gym.

Extractions: Gymnastics Gymnastics is a sport which attracts a steady stream of children to train. Some go on to be champions, as in the case of those attending the De Roos School of Tumbling. This Club has had outstanding success in the 21 years since it was established. Former Olympian Bernie de Roo, who represented Australia at both the Rome and Tokyo Games, and his wife Jenny, have coached thousands of local children in a range of gymnastic skills from power tumbling to floor skills and trampolining. Many have won State and National championships and have represented Australia overseas. The popularity of the sport is reflected in the fact that there are five Clubs in the area, all seeking to develop the next Olympic champion. Bibliography: De Roos School of Tumbling, Scrapbook.
