FIG posted an update on the website regarding the five gymnastics legends who are to be honoured by the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame this year. The former gymnasts are Cathy Rigby, Henrietta Onodi, Yuri Korolev, Mikhail Voronin and Eileen Langsley. What do you think of these inductees?
You can view a list of all of the inductees to the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame since 1988 here.
I quite like this idea from Was Watanabe of wearing small ankle weights to help with developing the swing for giants. Unfortunately our Code of Conduct states that we will not allow our gymnasts to use weights so we need to be very cautious of this. I wonder if there is a way around it – wearing shoes perhaps? My gymnasts have found it difficult learning the difference between the original bent leg swing, then onto the pike (or float) swing and now for learning giants, they have found it difficult to do the slight tap on the swing down.
I love when companies really put their minds into making a great ad. I love this Nike ad “Human Chain”. It celebrates the intensity, dynamism and determination that connects athletes in all different sports and motivates them to inspiring performances.
“This has been a fantastic opportunity to showcase Gymnastics to a wide audience and from the feedback they have received the performance was enjoyed by folks of all ages. They are immensely proud of the opportunity to again represent their club and region and also to publicise the sport of Gymnastics throughout Ireland. ”
