The Gymnast Magazine JULY/AUGUST 2011 BRITISH GYMNASTICS OFFICIAL MAGAZINE Trampoline & Tumbling British Championships ...click here for tickets! Warm-Up ...with the President JULY/AUGUST 2011 The National Indoor Arena in Birmingham is an outstanding venue for any event and will provide a spectacular setting for competitors and spectators for the 2011 British Trampoline Championships on 23rd/24th July. As never before this year’s event will be of special significance as we look towards our team selection for the FIG World Championships and World Age Group Competition which will take place at the NIA in November. The World Championships will also serve as the first qualification for individual trampoline for the London 2012 Olympic Games. With the outstanding international success of our trampolinists, tumblers and DMT performers, this is the perfect opportunity to share in the excitement of these disciplines. The National Club Conference and the first combined British Gymnastics Awards Evening provided the opportunity to bring together the many members of our gymnastics family under the ‘roof’ of the Telford International Conference Centre. The highlight of the conference was the presence and contribution of Jeff Metzger from the USA, who I know from feedback received, inspired all those who had the opportunity to attend one of his sessions. Another highlight of the weekend was our BG ‘Oscars’. In addition to a range of awards recognising the stellar efforts of individuals and clubs from our community was by the presentation of the BOA Olympic Athlete of the Year award to Beth Tweddle MBE. Daniel Purvis was also recognised as Outstanding Athlete of Year, following his success in Rotterdam, Berlin and more recently in Glasgow. Participation in our sport has many facets and these many areas were recognised through the recognition of outstanding contributions in Education, Volunteer Services to the Community, Awards of Merit and Honorary Life Membership. It would be remiss of me not to make special mention of one individual - Samantha Campbell our Group Accountant here at British Gymnastics. Her quiet, yet professional contribution to all involved in the sport was duly recognised with her being awarded the Alex Strachan Trophy. Following our National Awards I was invited to attend the South East Regional Awards evening. Regional events are of equal importance as they provide inspiration and the all important opportunity for recognition. Congratulations to all award recipients. For those members who missed out on Olympic tickets, why not enjoy the build up to the Games by spectating at one of the Olympic Test Events, which PAUL GARBER will be contested in all gymnastics disciplines in PRESIDENT January 2012. On display will be many of the world’s BRITISH Gymnastics top performers who will be attempting to secure Olympic qualification.

  • Threshold of Pain Is Reached. Who Is Going to Stop It …?
    Threshold of pain is reached. Who is going to stop it …? International competition rhythm in modern artistic gymnastics Thoughts, experimental ideas, suggestions - by Eckhard Herholz , GYMmedia INTERNATIONAL, Berlin Germany _______________________________________________________________ * In the new millennium alone, since the Olympic Games in Sydney (2000) the International Gymnastics Federation F.I.G. will have held 8 (!) World Championships Eckhard Herholz until the Olympic Games 2010 in London. That means in this decade alone we had c. * G YMmedia 100 (!) title holders resp. World Champions in the all-around and on the apparatus! * In the same period of time the European Gymnastics Union (UEG) organises 12 continental championships each with almost 100 champions (men and women). When you add the annual 8 – 10 World Cup- events in artistic gymnastics alone - which in the balance of this decade also comes up to the amount of 100 (!) competitions with almost 1.000 winners per apparatus (!!!), you end up with c. 20 – 30 high-quality competition opportunities (incl. national events) for the top gymnasts (- although not every gymnast competes at every competition). * This raises the question: How many Champions needs the World ?? Has this incredible quantity given us a higher popularity in the media? Definitely not! It seems to be the opposite: The amount of gymnastics events all over the World which have no real meaning has increased! (In case the income of the F.I.G. through the simple addition of TV- sales has increased, the following thoughts almost hold an ethical dimension of an appeal towards the responsible persons!) Dangerous borders have been crossed already, The health risks seem incalculable And it even gets worse when the ardour of the wish to distinguish oneself in the media dictates the competition calendar or when through national resp.
