  • Still Rings Handstand Development Page 1 of 3
    USA Gymnastics Online: Technique: Still Rings Handstand Development Page 1 of 3 Still Rings Handstand Development By Kelly Crumley The handstand on rings is a bit more complicated than a handstand on floor or parallel bars simply because the rings move and the other pieces of equipment do not! There are literally hundreds of drills and exercises that can be done to develop the handstand. The handstand is a never-ending area of refinement. The better the handstand is, the better the gymnast will be. There are two main objectives in which to focus when developing the handstand: Strength and Balance. Both of these are addressed below. The Handstand Position The handstand must first be developed on floor and then later applied to rings. The desired position as it applies to floor is as follows: The hands should be placed on the floor shoulder width apart with the middle finger perpendicular with an imaginary line drawn between them. The fingers should be spread in order to help produce a wide base of support. Weight should be dispersed to the finger tips. The body should not be entirely supported on the palms of the hand. Balance is controlled at the finger tips. The elbows are locked and turned so that the inside of the elbow faces straight forward. The head is positioned neutral with ears between the arms. There should be equal parts of the head on both sides of the arm so that the line of the arms, bisect the head equally when viewing from the side. The eyes are focused on the floor between the hands.

  • George Cooke, an Olympian Soldier
    George Cooke, an Olympian Soldier By Ross Collinge When I was a young man growing up in New Zealand in the ’50s and ’60s, traditionally we played rugby in the winter, and cricket in summer. Some schools catered for hockey, but that was considered a game for “ cry- babies”, and was social death. Looking at contemporary New Zealand sport, it is hard at times to see past the media coverage of Rugby Union, Cricket, Rugby League, Netball, and now sailing, thanks to the success of America’s Cup racing. For New Zealand Olympians it is a matter of training Darcy Hadfield (1889- hard, out of the spotlight, unnoticed by the press and 1964) was the first general public. Rowing falls into this category.

S. Deutschland.............................7 2 Autographs.............................................................19 Copyright 2011 by James Logan Crawford Last Modified June 22, 2011 www.CrawfordPioneersOfSteamboatSprings.com 3 S. S. Deutschland from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Deutschland_(1923) 4 FOREWARD My mother, Ruth Stoeckly Crawford, crossed the Atlantic ocean in August of 1932 on board the ship S. S. Deutschland. By coincidence, half of the passengers on the ship were the German and Swiss Olympic teams returning from the 1932 summer olympics in Los Angeles. Since Ruth was one of the few young single females on board, she drew lots of attention from the mostly male olympians. Two days before the ship was to reach Europe, Ruth attended a costume ball as was cus- tomary on these Atlantic routes. Her pirate costume won her third place, and for her prize she was given a blank book. The following day she went around the ship and collected the sig- natures of 73 people, including at least 54 olympians, of which 29 of them won gold, silver, or bronze medals in Los Angeles. On the day after she disembarked in France, Ruth wrote her recollection of the ship on 38 pages following the autographs. This was not meant to be a diary of her voyage, because she already had a diary that she wrote in each day. This was meant to be more formal, and Ruth omitted many of the personal items in her diary such as her friendship with Hans Eller, one of the gold medal winning coxed-four rowing team.
