SA Gymnastics continues its planning for National Gymnastics Day, scheduled for August 12, 2000. Already we are seeing that many people around the country are planning activities to celebrate the sport during this important Olympic year. We have received the first proclamation from New Jersey Governor Christine Todd-Whitman, who also endorsed last year's event, and we expect others to follow. USA Gymnastics is focusing its promotion of National Gymnastics Day in the following manner: • National endorsements of the day through an association with the National Association of Health and Fitness, the network of state fitness councils.

•

A "NGD Run for Fun" has been organized in longview, Texas, as well as mall exhibitions, clinics, and an All-Star

Aussie Haircare Free Gymnastics lesson program, scheduled to kick off in July.

Starting October 12, USA Gymnastics is launching its post-Olympic Tour. The tour will visit 40 cities and feature artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, as well as the newest Olympic sport-trampoline. This special production will feature group performances, individual routines, theatrical lighting and music. It's a show you won't want to miss! There will also be a special club opportunity. The final schedule is almost complete, keep an eye on our website: usa-gymnastics.org for the schedule and ticket information.

Many clubs have already begun their planning for National Gymnastics Day. Some examples include: • Disneyland is hosting a Gym Fest exhibition and team comp e tition featuring over 200 athletes from around the country. • The California Sports Center in San Jose, California will conduct the first annual

Introducing the Newest Grip on the Bars! . tP

Designed and manufactured with assistance from National Team Coaches, the Just Right by Gibson is the newest idea in Ladies Uneven Bar Grips. The Just Right is cut slightly narrower for great contact with the bar and reduces side to side rolling of the grip for athletes with smaller hands The single buckle design assures a firm, tight fit at the wrist, and eliminates the constant adjustment necessary with velcro strap grips.

The USA men earned five medals. including two gold and three silver. during the Pacific Alliance Championships. April 20-25. in Christchurch. New Zealand. The Pacific Alliance Championships served as a preview and preparation for the 2000 Olympic Garnes in Sydney.

"I am proud of the way our team fought back after a rough start," said Senior Pacific Alliance and 2CXXJ Olympic Coach Peter Kormann. "Five events were excellent but you need six to win." The men's team included Steve McCain from Team Texaco-U.S. Olympic Training Center; John Roethlisberger from Team TexacoMinnesota Gophers; Sean Townsend from Team TexacoHouston; Blaine Wilson from Team Texaco-U.S. Olympic Training Center; and Guard Young Team-Texaco Provo, Utah. Wilson reigned supreme in a comeback effort to win the Senior Pacific Alliance all-around gold medal. With a score of 56.766, Wilson defeated Zhao Sheng (56.230) and Li Dehzi (55.715) both of China.

"It was great to see Blaine back in competition again and on the top of the awards stand," said Sandy Knapp , Chair of USA Gymnastics. The Pacific Alliance Championships was Blaine's first event back to competition since the 1999 World Championships in October. Blaine has been rehabilitating from injuries. Wilson had a slow start in the all-around after landing short on his vault but came back strong and hit his next five events. Townsend placed fourth with 54.7B2, and McCain finished fifth with 54.532. "I knew I had to make every routine after kicking out on my vault," said Wilson. The team competition was decided on the final event with defending (onlinued on page 20

you more sustained energy than eating carbohydrate alone. I also recommend that breakfast be about one third of .:... the calories required for the . °0 eo: da y. Most people, including gymnasts, fall short of this goal. For example, a female gymnast ma y need up to 2,500 calories in a day, depending on size and number of hours spent in the gym. She shou ld have abo ut 800 calories in the morning hours, divided between a breakfast and a mid-morning snack. Many of my clients say that they are not hungry in the morning or that breakfast makes them feel sick to their stomach. This will be true if yo u are not used to eating first thing in th e morning. However, the body will adapt to whatever schedule yo u follow. When you begin eating a good breakfast the stomach wi ll star t to manufacture gastric juices (getting ready for digestion to take place) before you wake up and you will then feel hungry shortly after rising. Eventu all y, after this becomes a habit, you w ill then feel sick if you go without breakfast. You also might want to break your breakfast into two small meals by h aving a mid-morning snack at school. Below are a few breakfast ideas. Always try to include a glass of water in the morning with your meal, to start the day out hydrated and wake you up. And remember-any breakfast is better than no breakfast. If left-over cheese pizza appeals to you, go for it. Your body will thank you later in the day'

By Ruth Carey, R.D., Sports Nutrition Consultant from Portland, Ore.

Would you ever think of planning a road trip to the beach, or your favorite park, without putting gas in the tank of your car? "Oh well" you say, "we will fill up when we get there, we can run on empty." Of course the answer to this question is obvious. When the car runs out of gas, it stops. The human body is much more amazing than an auto. It knows how to break down its own parts to make fuel when it runs out of gas. This is exactly what the body is forced to do when you skip breakfast. Without fuel, the body breaks down precious muscle tissue and converts the protein into sugar, to give our brain fuel to get us through the morning. For the athlete, this means that some of that hard work in the gym may be compromised. With a good breakfast, we break the fast of the previous night, and rev up our engines for a new day. Breakfast provides fuel to our brains to think clearly in school. It also increases metabolic rates so we bum more calories for the whole day. Some studies show that people who eat breakfast bum, on average, 150 more calories for the day than breakfast skippers. Also, studies with school age children show that kids who eat breakfast perform better on tests. Weight control and fitness are part of the gymnast's world. Studies also find that people who eat breakfast will eat less later in the day and will have an easier time with weight control. This may be because when we skip a meal and get overly hungry we are either not as careful with our food choices, or we eat too large of portions at the next meal or snack. So, what should you eat for breakfast? A mix of carbohydrate and protein is best. Carbohydrate provides energy for your brain and fuel fat metabolism. Protein will give

CREATIVE, QUICK-FIX BREAKFASTS By Nancy Clark Reprinted with permission from the Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Gu idebook

If you lack crea tive quick-fix breakfast ideas, these suggestions can help you make a fas t break to becoming a regular brea k fast eater.

• RAISINS AND PEANUTS. Prepacked in small plastic bags, these are ready to get tucked in your pocket.

• BRAN MUFFIN. Add jam for more carbohydrates.

• BAGEL. Spread it with low-fat cream and drink a can of V-8 juice.

• GRAHAM CRACKERS. These are a refreshing favorite with low-fat milk, and a skimming of peanut butter.

• PITA BREAD. Stuff it with low-fat

Starting the day well fueled will enable you to improve performance in school and in the gym. Hungry athletes are not the happiest or the most coachable. So, remember the importance of breakfast especially as it relates to performance. Get the most out of your training by starting your day right!

Que$tion: Some of m)' g),mna$t buddie$ put water on their grip$ for bar$. The)' $a)' it:S $uppo$ed to help the grip. Should I put water on m)' grip$?

Answer: John Geddert said, IILeather experts wiLL teLL you that putting water on grips wiLL eventually weaken the material and, therefore, lessen the life expectancy of the grips. On the other hand, water does seem to combine with chalk somehow to form a more comfortable grip on the bar."

Penn State, Michigan and lewa, were all within three tenths gaing inla ~: ~~~~oS~~ffer the final event and it was a complete surprise that Penn State, who had B.

Penn State lack full advantage of the highest scaring event throughout the championships, racking up a 39.075. Penn's win had more Ia do with where the other teams were. Michigan and Iowa were on vault and parallel bars, respernvely, comparatively low-scoring events. Penn State added their 1Oth no~onal ~~e, the most by any university, ending a dry spell that lasted 24 years. "I didn't even imagine this coming in," on emo~onol coach Randy Jepson said ta his team. "Isn't it great?" For number one ranked Michi!pn heading inla the compe~~on , the meet was one mishap alter another. Expected Ia easily take the ~~e, it was a surprise when Iowa opened with the early lead, though it s~1I seemed clear that the Wolverines would close the gap.

But the team just couldn't pull'it off and the ti~e slipped away by less than two tenths. Third place Iowa, with a home crowd of more than 2,000 cheering them on, had the lead lor most of the meet and, at one point, was more than a point ahead of Michigan.

lAUALLE EARNS NISSEN AWARD Former national team member Jeff laValle, a senior at the University of Massachusetts, earned the prestigious 2000 Nissen-Emery award. The honor, given to the tap collegiate gymnast each year since 1966, is gymnastics equivalent of the Heisman trophy. "I'm a linle bit nervous and dry mouthed right now," LaValle said after his win. "I've always strived to work hard in the classroom as well as the gym, I think this is a result of thaI. I want to thank all of the wonderful candidates, they're just as deserving as I am ." LaValle, who trained as a junior under '84 gold medalist Tim Daggett, was one of nine nominees.

Wesley Haagensen, who won the Closs III Junior Olympic Notional Championships All-Around title, may be a great gymnast but he's also a great inventor! At the urgings of a teacher at school he entered a Durocell contest and invented a Condiment Dispenser resembling a pump-jack. Out of 1500 participants around the country, Wesley placed third with his invention and won a U.S. Savings Bond and appeared on the "Lena" show, where he shored his invention with a notion-wide audience!
