THE BEST IS the BEST: Why Hu Kexin of China Deserved Olympic Gold Dustin Newcombe
THE BEST IS THE BEST: Why Hu Kexin of China Deserved Olympic Gold Dustin Newcombe At the 1976 Montreal Olympics, Nadia Comenici created an iconic image in her dismount from the uneven bars. The judges called it perfect and gave her a ten. It was the first ten awarded in gymnastics at the Olympics in the modern era. She made history that night. She was 14 years old. Bela Karolyi was her coach. How the rules have changed! Nadia Comenici would not have made history in 2008. It’s not because the judging system has changed and the perfect 10 is no longer the standard. Instead, Comenici would not have competed because of the minimum age requirement. If by some twist of fate or fancy paperwork doctoring she made it into the competition, an eccentric and outspoken American coach named Bela Karolyi would cry fowl and call the Romanians cheaters. Without the perfect ten standard, Comenici’s iconography might have been simply great biography. But the new judging system does one thing adequately: it manages human error/favor. The age limit is another example of human error that needs changed. It’s arbitrary, discriminatory, and hinders greatness in gymnasts that peak young. Gymnastics is fickle; it’s a revolving door for the new and old. The physical and mental demands of the sport make injury likely and peak sustenance difficult. It’s rare that fans can follow their favorite gymnasts, like Nadia Comenici and Shannon Miller, through multiple Olympics. Age limiting might be well intended to reduce injury (physical and mental) among young female athletes. -

Handout #5 Gymnastics Champions Mary Lou Retton
Handout #5 Gymnastics Champions Mary Lou Retton Mary Lou Retton was born in Fairmont, West Virginia in 1968. At a young age, she realized that she needed more rigorous training if she wanted to become an Olympic champion. Studying under Bela Karolyi, the coach who had trained Retton’s idol, Nadia Comaneci, she pursued the dream of becoming a gold medal gymnast. The hard work paid off when she became the first American to take home the gold in the women’s all-around competition. In addition, she was also the first American woman to win an Olympic gold medal in gymnas- tics. She is the only woman to capture three American Cups and the only American to win Japan’s Chunichi Cup, two U.S. Gymnastics Federation American Classics and the All-Around title at both the 1984 national championships and the Olympic trials. Retton’s five-medal performance made her the darling of the 1984 Games in Los Angeles. Her one gold of the five was the big one — the all-around, which she clinched by scoring perfect 10s in the floor exercise and vault. She won silvers in the team and vault competitions, and bronze medals on the uneven bars and in the floor exercise. Retton’s five Olympic medals place her in a tie for second place among all U.S. women on the all-time list. Mary Lou’s historic Olympic performances, along with her radiant smile and enthusiasm, brought her recognition as Sports Illustrated Magazine’s “Sportswoman of the Year” in 1984. That same year, the Associated Press awarded her the title “Amateur Athlete of the Year”. -
