Go Girl! Series5. The Worst Gymnast by Thalia Kalkipsakis Every four years, the Summer Olympics rolls around, and the world tunes into to cheer on their country! In the 28 sports and events that make up the pinnacle of athletic competition, arguably the most popular is gymnastics. These athletes fly through the air, flipping, spinning, and sometimes falling, captivating viewers across the globe. While the men have had their fair share of The Worst Gymnast, the biggest moments in gymnastics have been accomplished by women. Nadia Comaneci achieved the first ever "Perfect 10" on the balance beam in Montreal. Mary Lou Retton strung together a mind-blowing all-around victory in Los Angeles. Who could forget Kerri Strug? Innewcomer Simone Biles won hearts across America with her high-flying dominance, and all-around domination! With all of the memorable moments though, there are also The Worst Gymnast embarrassing ones. Whether it's a badly-timed facial expression, or just an unfortunate fall, many of these gymnasts The Worst Gymnast subject to some humiliating photographs. These are the NOT "Perfect 10" moments that don't always make national headlines. Chalk up for 15 of the most embarrassing pictures of female gymnasts. In this photo, you can see "Peanut's" 'Oh, no! While the photo itself is pretty embarrassing, the keyboard warriors of the world decided to troll the gymnast. A hoax circled around the web that Johnson's leotard ripped in The Worst Gymnast picture, with images of her netherregions censored. Shame on you internet, portraying America's sweetheart like that! But, Great Britain's squad has been on the rise recently, and has been looking to make it's way to the podium. Unfortunately for the team, superstar tumbler, Ellie Downing, took a nasty fall in qualifying for Rio. She was in the middle of her floor routine, and over-rotated on one of her jumps, bouncing neck first into the mat. Even though Downie's injury would have kept most gymnasts out for the duration of the games, the English warrior toughed it out, and finished off two vaults. She came in 13th in the all-around competition, and Team Britain came in 5th in the overall. Despite her heroic comeback, Downie's neck-first fall still makes our list of embarrassing gymnast pictures! Not all the gymnastics competitions in the Olympics focus The Worst Gymnast the The Worst Gymnast events. Take the trampoline for example. Back in the Games in Sydney, the The Worst Gymnast introduced the high-flying sport in the gymnastics competition. This is not your typical backyard bounce! These athletes put together a string of quadruple flips and spins that give audiences motion sickness just from watching! With all those gravity defying moves, you've got to imagine that these ladies are using every ounce of their energy to complete their tumbles. That's when the "trampoline face" comes into play. As you can see from the photo, American trampolinist, Sarah Vinsant, strikes an awkward pose whilst performing her aerial stunts. Another less popular aspect of Olympic gymnastics is the Rhythmic Competition. While artistic gymnastics focuses on jaw-dropping aerials, rhythmic gymnastics spotlights the flowing beauty and choreography of these contorting athletes. An event sincethese ladies use props such as ribbons, hoops, batons and balls to highlight their balance and beauty. Rhythmic gymnastics is to artistic gymnastics as ice dancing is to figure skating: they are both fascinating in The Worst Gymnast own ways. Although these women aren't launching themselves into the air, there is still no shortage of embarrassing moments in the event. Take Russian competitor, Yevgenia Kanayeva, The Worst Gymnast example. She is a two-time all-around Olympic champion, and is known for her technically difficult routines. With that level of dominance and expertise, comes popularity in the media. This cameraman caught The Worst Gymnast uncomfortably contorting her body with a face that says "What the hell am I doing? Team Russia, in the gymnastics arena. Queue the Games in London. During the team competition, both powerhouse countries were vying for a spot atop of the podium, and the competition was deadlocked. But, nobody in America saw her fail! Due to the time delay of the broadcast, NBC edited out the Russian fall, trying to create The Worst Gymnast drama for the viewers. Critics and analysts were extremely upset, since instead of showing the true events of the contest, they just used the tape- delay to create suspense. While Afanasyeva's fall is truly embarrassing, it's even more shameful that NBC drew out the event increase viewership. With the recent announcement that North Korea would be sending athletes to Pyeongchang for the Winter Olympis, we want to shed some light on another North Korean athlete, Hong Su-Jong. While it's short of miracle that the PRK would even let this gymnast out of the country, Su-Jong exceeded expectations, medaling in the vault and uneven bars during the Asian Games back in The Worst Gymnast While she failed to qualify for the finals in the Athens Olympics, most sports junkies on the internet recognize her from this embarrassing photo on the uneven bars.

  • The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children's Picturebooks
    Strides Toward Equality: The Portrayal of Black Female Athletes in Children’s Picturebooks Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rebekah May Bruce, M.A. Graduate Program in Education: Teaching and Learning The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Michelle Ann Abate, Advisor Patricia Enciso Ruth Lowery Alia Dietsch Copyright by Rebekah May Bruce 2018 Abstract This dissertation examines nine narrative non-fiction picturebooks about Black American female athletes. Contextualized within the history of children’s literature and American sport as inequitable institutions, this project highlights texts that provide insights into the past and present dominant cultural perceptions of Black female athletes. I begin by discussing an eighteen-month ethnographic study conducted with racially minoritized middle school girls where participants analyzed picturebooks about Black female athletes. This chapter recognizes Black girls as readers and intellectuals, as well as highlights how this project serves as an example of a white scholar conducting crossover scholarship. Throughout the remaining chapters, I rely on cultural studies, critical race theory, visual theory, Black feminist theory, and Marxist theory to provide critical textual and visual analysis of the focal picturebooks. Applying these methodologies, I analyze the authors and illustrators’ representations of gender, race, and class. Chapter Two discusses the ways in which the portrayals of track star Wilma Rudolph in Wilma Unlimited and The Quickest Kid in Clarksville demonstrate shifting cultural understandings of Black female athletes. Chapter Three argues that Nothing but Trouble and Playing to Win draw on stereotypes of Black Americans as “deviant” in order to construe tennis player Althea Gibson as a “wild child.” Chapter Four discusses the role of family support in the representations of Alice Coachman in Queen of the Track and Touch the Sky.

    04/10/13: Great Britain’s Ruby Harrold and Rebecca Tunney placed 17th and 19th in the women’s all-around final at the 2013 Artistic Gymnastics World Championship in Antwerp. Both girls, competing in their first World Championships, were hampered by problems on beam early on in a competition that was won by American Simone Biles (60.212) from teammate Kyla Ross (59.332) with Russia’s Aliya Mustafina taking the bronze (58.856). The British girls were in the same group and began on the beam. Rebecca had a long wait on the podium to begin her routine, starting with round-off straight she couldn’t quite stick the landing and fell; a good double pike dismount scored her 11.966. Ruby followed up and unfortunately also had difficulties, her flick layout was out of line and she couldn't hold on and with another fall on her change ring she scored 11.066. On the floor Rebecca stepped out on the first of her explosive tumbles but fought back beautifully to perfectly stick her remaining passes ending with double pike and scoring 13.000. Ruby produced an outstanding floor routine, the huge crowd clapping her along, she landed each of her tumbles dead to score her an impressive 13.700. On vault both girls performed the double twisting Yurchenko, Rebecca landing perfectly to score 14.866 and Ruby, with a small pace back scored 13.900. Finally on bars, Rebecca Tunney started off well but couldn’t quite make it over giant half and fell, she jumped back up to finish strongly for 13.033 and a total of 52.865.

Meenan: Sexual Assault of United States Olympic Athletes Sexual Assault of United States Olympic Athletes: Gymnastics, Taekwondo, and Swimming Chloe Meenan Abstract: The distribution of power in American Olympic sports has made room for the development of a culture of sexual assault. This culture has continued to grow and the organizations in authority have not done enough to put a stop to the abuse. First, I will address the troubles that victims have when sharing their stories, due to the distribution of power within the organizations, namely in gymnastics, taekwondo, and swimming. I focus on the Me Too Movement and the influence that social media has had in making strides towards raising awareness about sexual assault. I will explore the specifics of the abuse within each sport and the women who shared their stories to prevent similar things from happening to others.
