Contrasts were analyzed regarding attributions of success, failure and personality/physicality. Analysis of NBC’s primetime coverage of the 2012 London Olympic Summer Games revealed seven (7) significantly-different dialogue trends between male gymnasts and the aggregate of other male Summer Olympians. Specifically, male gymnasts were more likely to have their success (i) credited to athletic skill/strength and (ii) composure and their failure (iii) attributed to a lack of concentration and a (iv) lack of athletic ability compared to the aggregate of other male Olympians. Male gymnasts were also more likely to receive comments about being (v) modest or introverted and have their (vi) emotional state described. Male athletes competing in all sports except for gymnastics were more likely to have their successes (vii) attributed to their experience.

    Abie Grossfeld

    WAS - Gymnastics Legend Abie Grossfeld 2001 Honoree The only gymnastics coach to be inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame Gymnastics legend Frank Cumiskey (1932, 1936 and 1948 gymnastics Olympian) stated, "After six decades of being in the trenches, Abie Grossfeld has influenced an untold number of gymnasts, coaches and judges who have notably impacted the positive development of gymnastics. Abie’s level of excellence in the primary areas of gymnastics, as a whole, has been truly exceptional and, in my experience, has not been matched by any other individual." Abie Grossfeld has been active in gymnastics for 60 years and counting. While many of his accomplishments and contributions have been outstanding, it is his whole body of work that has been truly extraordinary. Paraphrased statements by Olympians: 1984 Olympian and NBC commentator Tim Daggett said, "After each encounter with Abie, as I was developing through the years, I always left with a better understanding of the wonderful sport of gymnastics. The success of Abie and his gymnast Peter Kormann (at the 1976 Olympics) was my catalyst to dream bigger dreams, which ultimately took me all the way to the Olympics itself - on a team Abie coached. We won Gold as a team and Abie made us a team. In gymnastics, he’s done it all. He imparted technique, wisdom and guidance in me." 1984 Olympic Team Captain Peter Vidmar said, "Abie held the collection of the 1984 team members together… Abie knows every significant gymnastics person – officials, judges, competitors – in the world… Abie brought a sense of neutrality to the team.

    Gymnastics NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S Highlights Illinois rallies to win fi rst NCAA title since 1989: Trailing by more than two points with two rotations remaining, Illinois coach Justin Spring guided his gymnasts toward the pommel horse, an event in which the Illini had been inconsistent all season. They picked the right time to post their season-high score in the event. A 60.75 put Illinois within striking distance, and the Illini followed with a strong performance on the rings to pass No. 1 Oklahoma on April 27 and win their fi rst NCAA title since 1989. Led by U.S. Senior National Team members Paul Ruggeri and C.J. Maestas, Illinois posted a team score of 358.85, 1.4 points better than Oklahoma, which failed to win the national title in its home arena. It was Illinois’ third win of the season against the Sooners and the second in as many days. Oklahoma’s Jacob Dalton took the all-around title. ”This moment has been a long time waiting,” said Spring, a former U.S. Olympic team member who’s in his third season as Illinois’ coach. ”This team is one that truly took ownership of the details and that is not easy to do when you are in a sport that’s based off perfection.” Illinois has won 10 NCAA titles, but before this championship only one had come since 1958. After what Spring called a disappointing eff ort on the high bar, the Illini trailed Oklahoma by 2.05 points with two rotations remaining. They followed with the top performance of the night on the pommel horse and then posted a 59.45 on the rings — in which they were ranked second nationally — to close the gap.

    Gymnastics NATIONAL COLLEGIATE MEN’S Highlights Michigan’s men’s gymnastics title is one for the books: ”The ring is the thing.” It’s an expression that puts emphasis on winning championships above all else, but for the six schools competing for the NCAA Men’s Gymnastics Championships on May 16, it had new relevance. For Michigan, the event at West Point will always be remembered as the night the school won its fourth NCAA Men’s Gymnastics National Championship while junior Chris Cameron took home the all-around national title. For those in attendance, however, it will be remembered for the frequent delays caused by the broken still rings. “This is my 22nd NCAA, I guess, and this has to be the strangest one ever,” said Oklahoma coach Mark Williams. “We’ve had some (parallel bars) break and some minor equip- ment things, but nothing that took nearly as long as this. It wasn’t completely fixed when they got it done. This will be one for the record books I guess.” As Illinois’ Tyler Williamson was in the middle of his rings routine in the third session, he felt something give. “I was swinging up backwards. I was about halfway up and the ring just wasn’t feeling right in my hand,” Williamson said. When Williamson returned back to earth, everyone realized the left ring was cracked. Army’s gymnasts rushed in along with a few other helpers to dismantle and reassemble the rings during the first break in action. After the agreed upon three-minute warm- up session, the gymnasts took the mats to finish the night, but there was a lingering sense of trepidation around the apparatus.
