LIVING the DREAM / GYMNASTICS for Both the Men's and Women's LIVING THE DREAM / GYMNASTICS For each individual routine, gymnasts began with a base score (9.000 for men, 9.400 for women) and earned bonuses for exceptional performances (a possible 1.000 bonus for men, a possible .400 bonus for women). The highest and lowest of the six scores were discarded, and the rest were averaged. Although six gym- nasts from each team took part in the team competition, only the scores of the top five athletes on each apparatus were factored. Team.

It has become common wisdom that sport is not only an activity assuring physical well-being, it is not only a phenomenon carrying and reinforcing human values while being part of general culture, but that it is also a tool in the process of education, teaching and growing up to be an upright individ - ual. Up until now, we have mostly contented our - selves with saying that sport is a mirror of human activities in society.

  • English Gymnastic Terminology: Semantic and Structural Features
    Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND July 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 English Gymnastic Terminology: Semantic and Structural Features Natalia Nikolaevna Bobyreva Associate Professor Institute of International Relations, History and Oriental Studies Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, Kazan, Russia E-Mail: [email protected] Contact: +79033882044 Abstract The importance of researching the material is determined by the fact that the sports terminology consists of many subsystems corresponding to particular kinds of sport. Each of them is characterized by specific features of form, meaning and functioning, as well as unique history and etymology of language items. This paper is aimed at covering the structural and semantic characteristics of English gymnastic terms. The leading methods applied within the research are description, component, structural and contextual analyses, alongside studying print and electronic dictionaries and glossaries of sports vocabulary, special literature of different styles and genres, interviews with people professionally involved in this sphere. The set of gymnastic terms is not homogeneous, and comprises one-word and multi-word items, eponymous terms, borrowings, etc. The research of gymnastic terms is of interest for terminological studies and sociolinguistics from the point of view of terminological systems development, role of gymnastic terms in the system of sports terminology, models of word and phrase formation and translation of special texts. Keywords: gymnastic terminology, term, sports terminology, Language for Specific Purposes, sublanguage of sport, special discourse. http://www.ijhcs.com/index.php/ijhcs/index Page 118 Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND July 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 1.

  • The Olympic Games (12)
    The Olympic Games (12) The 1992 Olympic Games of Barcelona, Spain Professional athletes could compete in an Olympics for the first time in Barcelona. Professionalism in the Games was the dream of Juan Samaranch, a Spaniard and the IOC President. King Juan Carlos opened the Games in Spanish and Catalonian. With the fall of the USSR in 1989, the Russians sent a “very un-unified” unified team. Estonia and Latvia entered the Games for the first time since 1936 and Lithuania since 1928. The Germans sent its first unified team since Helsinki in 1952i. Cuba and North Korea took part for the first time in twelve years. South Africa denounced its apartheid policies and entered for the first time in thirty-two years. Spain won thirteen gold medals and offered huge money stipends to their gold medal winners. Spain had won a total of four gold medals prior to the 1992 Games. Eight billion dollars had been used to rebuild Barcelona; but, posters still popped up calling for an independent Catalonia. Over 10,000 Olympians took part and athletes from sixty-four different nations won medals. Badminton, baseball, and women’s judo were new venues. Carlos Front, the eleven-year-old, became the second youngest Olympian since 1900 when he served as the coxswain for the Spanish eight rowing team. Derartu Tulu of Ethiopia won a gold medal in the 10,000 meters becoming the first woman black African winner in Olympic history. For the US, “The Dream Team,” dominated the basketball competition, but resided in Monaco instead of the Olympic Village.

Date ……………………………………………………………… i | P a g e Abstract The first aim was to identify the key temporal and spatial biomechanical variables of the Yurchenko vault from the deterministic model in relation to judges’ score. Secondly, to identify differences between international and national level gymnasts of temporal and spatial biomechanical variables identified in the deterministic model. Twenty female gymnasts, divided into national or international level gymnasts, were filmed using two 300 Hz cameras placed perpendicular to the movement. The data were manually digitised using an 18-point model and filtered using a Butterworth’s low pass filter of 6 Hz. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to identify the relationship between biomechanical variables and judges’ score.
