Lynnette Love, of Temple Hills, Md., won a bronze medal today although she actually didn't win a match. Love's opponent in the heavyweight division quarterfinals today, a Canadian, failed to submit the results of a pregnancy test. So Love went on to the semifinals but lost to a Spaniard after five officials conferred and awarded the fight to Coral Bistuer, the obvious hometown favorite, after the two women fought to a scoreless tie.

  • Olympic Culture in Soviet Uzbekistan 1951-1991: International Prestige and Local Heroes
    Olympic Culture in Soviet Uzbekistan 1951-1991: International Prestige and Local Heroes Sevket Akyildiz Introduction Uzbekistan was officially established in 1924 by the victorious Bolsheviks as part of a larger union-wide „Soviet people‟ building project. To legitimate and consolidate Moscow‟s rule the southern, largely Muslim, Asian territories (including Uzbekistan) were reorganized under the national delimitation processes of the 1920s and 1930s. Establishing the Soviet republics from the territory formerly known as Turkestan was based upon language, economics, history, culture and ethnicity. Soviet identity building was a dual process fostering state-civic institutions and identity and local national (ethnic) republic identity and interests. The creation of the national republics was part of the Soviet policy of multiculturalism best described a mixed-salad model (and is similar to the British multicultural society model). (Soviet ethnographers termed ethnicity as nationality.) Uzbekistan is situated within Central Asia, a region that the Russians term “Middle Asia and Kazakhstan” – some Western authors also term it “Inner Asia”. Uzbekistan stretches south-east from the Aral Sea towards the Pamir Mountains, and shares borders with Afghanistan (137km), Kazakhstan (2,203km), Kyrgyzstan (1,099km), Tajikistan (1,161km), and Turkmenistan (1,161km). The climate is continental, with hot summers and cold winters. The Uzbeks are a Turkic-speaking people largely Turkic (and Mongol) by descent - and predominately Sunni (Hanafi) Muslim by religious practice. Between 1917 and 1985 the population of Uzbekistan rose from approximately 5 million to 18 million people. However, Uzbekistan was a Soviet multicultural society, and during the Soviet period it contained more than 1.5 million Russian settlers and also included Karakalpaks, Kazakhs, Tajik, Tatars, and several of Stalin‟s deported peoples.

  • Differences in Vault Jumps in Women Artistic Gymnastics
    Lucija Milčić1, Kamenka Živčić Marković1, Tomislav Krističević1, Miljan Grbović2, Aleksandra Aleksić-Veljković3 1University of Zagreb, Faculty of Kinesiology, Zagreb, Croatia 2University of Belgrade, Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, Belegrade, Serbia 3University of Niš, Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, Niš, Serbia Differences in vault jumps in women artistic gymnastics ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to determine the difference between vault jumps at old and new horse performed at the Olympic Games 2000. and Olympic Games 2016. in women artistic gymnastics. Research was conducted on a sample of 32 jumps. Sixteen jumps at apparatus (vault) finals competition were performed at the Olympic Games 2000. in Sydney, Australia. Other sixteen jumps were performed also in the vault finals, but at the Olympic Games 2016. in Rio, Brazil. Analyses of the vaults were done by video. Variables which are used was divid- ed in two parts: type of the jumps (2, 3, 4, 5) and rotation (180°, 360°, 540°, 720°, 900°). Type of jumps was: 2=Handsprings, 3=Tsukahara, 4=Yurchenko, 5= Half-turn entry. Differences between the Olympic Games in type of jumps and rotations were calculated by T-test for in- dependent samples and Mann-Whitney U Test for independent sample. Results of Mann- Whitney U Test have shown that at the level of statistical significance of p<,05 that there were differences between the Olympic Games in variable rotation. It seems that today´s vault is performed with much more rotation around longitudinal (LA) axis of the body, and around transversal it seems that they are the same despite the new vault table.
