The 2010 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships recently took place in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The USA team’s results of winning six medals was impressive. Congratulations to all of our medalists: the women’s silver-medal winning team; Alicia Sacramone, who won the gold medal in vault; Rebecca Bross and Jon Horton, who each won the all-around bronze medal; and Bross, who went on to tie for the balance beam silver medal and earn the uneven bars bronze medal.

The U.S. women also continued their streak of winning a team medal at every World Championships and Olympic Games since 2000. It was a close race between the USA and Russia, but Russia just edged out the USA by 0.201 points

to win the gold. The four medals for Bross and Sacramone’s gold on vault were definite highlights.

The U.S. men fell just short of a team medal, finishing fourth. We were all pleased for Horton and his individual all-around bronze, the USA’s first men’s world all-around medal since Paul Hamm’s win in 2003.

USA Gymnastics and Nastia Liukin are pleased to conduct the second Nastia Liukin Supergirl Cup Series and the Nastia Liukin Supergirl Cup, scheduled for March 4 in Jacksonville, Fla., the day before the AT&T American Cup. The 18 invitationals included in the Nastia Liukin Supergirl Cup Series are:

USA Women Win Five Medals including Team Silver

The U.S. women continued their streak of winning a team medal at every World Championships and Olympic Games since

2000, by winning the silver, finishing just 0.201 points behind Russia. Rebecca Bross won the all-around bronze plus the beam silver and bronze on bars. Alicia Sacramone won the gold medal on vault. The fight for the team title came down to the last rotation. The USA finished up on vault, performing three well-executed vaults: Mackenzie Caquatto and Alexandra Raisman both competed a Yurchenko double-full, and Sacramone competed her powerful front handspring layout Rudi. The Russians and Chinese concluded with the floor. When the chalk had settled, the Russians had edged out the USA, 175.397 to 175.196. China was third at 174.781. “This was a very dramatic competition,” said Martha Karolyi, the women’s national team coordinator. “I think the girls did a good job. They were not quite as solid on the beam as they were the other day, but they stayed on. We hit bars and the vault was excellent so I feel good except we had a mistake on floor and we could not make up for that.” Sacramone, who is competing in her fourth World Championships, said, “The silver feels good. Obviously we wanted gold – we always do – but the girls did a really good job. We had

a little mistake here and there but I was happy we pulled it together. “ The U.S. women’s team scores for each apparatus were: bars – 44.065; beam – 43.799; floor– 41.666; and vault – 45.666. On bars, Caquatto had three release moves along with a full twisting double back dismount. Sloan had nice lower in-bar/stalder work and dismounted with a double layout. Bross also had great in-bar work, finishing with a full twisting double back dismount. On beam, Raisman did a solid Arabian double-front dismount. Sacramone performed a front pike mount and a back-handspring series into double-pike dismount. Bross’ routine included a standing Arabian and a double Arabian dismount. On floor, Bross showed a layout punch double front on her first pass and ended with a two-and-a-half punch front full. Raisman had a unique first pass which included a one-and-a-half step-out to double Arabian immediate split jump. Larson had some challenges in her routine, but showed a nice double layout on her first pass and triple full on her second pass. Also of note, during team prelims, Bross and Raisman finished second and third in the all-around, and Caquatto and Larson were in ninth and 11th place. In the all-around finals, Bross won the bronze medal and said, “I am very

proud of my bronze medal. I’m a little disappointed – not because it is a bronze medal but because I made a mistake (fall on beam). And, you always want to go without the mistakes.” Russia’s Aliya Mustafina won the gold medal with a total score of 61.032. China’s Jiang Yuyan was second at 59.998, and Bross was third at 58.966. Raisman posted a 55.699 to finish 13th. Raisman and Bross each performed a Yurchenko double full on vault. On bars, Bross delivered a clean routine with a stuck tucked half-in, half-out dismount. Raisman had a fall on bars, but finished with a solid double-front dismount. On beam, Raisman hit a nice set with a back handspring layout and Arabian double front dismount. Bross fell on a standing Arabian but finished with an Arabian double dismount. Both Bross and Raisman hit nice floor routines. During event finals, Sacramone won the world vault title, becoming just the second U.S. woman to do so. She now has one gold, one silver and two bronze world vault medals. Sacramone’s career world medal total is now nine, tying Shannon Miller and Nastia Liukin as the U.S. women with the most career world medals. On bars, Bross earned the bronze medal, while Sloan was fourth. Both gymnasts hit solid routines and stuck their dismounts. On beam, Bross hit a nice routine and tied for the silver medal with China’s Deng Linlin, while Sacramone also hit a solid routine and finished fifth. On floor, Raisman finished just out of the medals in fourth, with a hit routine.

Horton Wins All-Around Bronze, USA Men’s Team Finishes Fourth

The U.S. men mounted a valiant effort but fell just short of making the medals podium in the men’s team finals,

finishing fourth. Jonathan Horton grabbed the all-around bronze medal, the USA’s first men’s all-around medal since Paul Hamm’s win in 2003. The U.S Team finished the prelim team competition in third place behind China and Japan. However, in the team finals competition of three-up, three count, the USA finished in fourth place. “I couldn’t be more proud of the team, the way they fought from start to finish,” said Kevin Mazeika, the U.S. men’s national team coordinator. “They truly exemplified our team motto of never giving up and always fighting. They showed tremendous tenacity and fortitude. Three-up, three-count is a very different experience. These guys have learned valuable experience through this. We will build on this and it strengthens our resolve as we go forward to 2011 and 2012.” In the battle for the bronze medal, the U.S. men posted a team total of 268.012, which put them behind Germany’s 271.252. China and Japan were neck and neck for the gold medal, with China coming out on top 274.997 to 273.769. The USA’s team score for the six apparatus was: 43.566, floor exercise; 40.032, pommel horse; 44.833, still rings; 47.566, vault; 45.016, parallel bars; and 46.999, horizontal bar. The USA’s high bar team total was the highest in the team finals.

Jonathan Horton

The members of the World Team are (L-to-R): Jonathan Horton of Houston/Cypress Gymnastics; Chris Cameron of Winter Haven, Fla./University of Michigan; Brandon Wynn of Voorhees, N.J./Ohio State University; Danell Leyva of Miami/Universal Gymnastics; Chris Brooks of Houston/University of Oklahoma; Steven Legendre of Flower Mound, Texas/University of Oklahoma; and Paul Ruggeri of Manlius, N.Y./University of Illinois, alternate.

On high bar Brooks started the team off strong with a set that included a layout double-double dismount and a score of 15.533. Horton performed an impressive Cassina and stuck his full-twisting, double layout dismount to post a 15.633. Leyva finished the event for the USA with his high-flying routine that included a layout Kovacs and layout double-double dismount to score 15.833. Legendre’s 15.266 tied for the highest floor score in the finals. His first pass included a two-and-a-half twisting double back. Legendre also scored a 16.233 on vault for his front handspring double front half out.

During the all-around finals, Horton won the men’s bronze medal and said, “I am beyond happy, but not satisfied. If you know the real Jon Horton, you know I want to be the best and I want my team to be the best. This is awesome but I want to keep training. I want to get back in the gym already.” “It was an amazing performance by Jon this afternoon,” said Mazeika. “I could not be prouder of him. He fought hard from start to finish. It also was an incredible turnaround from last year’s World Championships (where he placed 17th). The entire USA Team is so proud of him and this medal is huge for us.” The race for second and third

in the all-around came down to the last rotation. Horton just missed the silver, finishing less than two tenths behind Germany’s Philipp Boy. As expected, Japan’s Kohei Uchimura won the all-around gold medal with a 92.331 total. Boy was second at 90.048, followed by Horton at 89.864. Leyva had problems on pommel horse and parallel bars and scored an 86.856 to place 18th. Horton had a solid pommel horse routine and moved onto rings where he nailed his tucked double-double dismount. He performed his handspring, double-front vault and was sixth in the rankings after three events. He had his best parallel bars routine of the week, featuring peach work and a giant double pike before finishing with a Morisue and sticking his double-pike dismount. On high bar, Horton’s routine included a layout full-twisting Kovacs (Cassina), layout Kovacs and a tucked full-twisting Kovacs with a solid layout full-out dismount. Bouncing back from pommel horse, Leyva performed a Johanssen to cross on rings, tucked Yamawaki and a half-in/half-out dismount. He performed a Kasamatsu full vault. Leyva followed his parallel bars routine with a well-executed high bar set that included a Takemoto full, layout Kovacs, a full-twisting Takemoto and his layout double-double dismount. On floor, he had a clean routine that ended with a stuck double layout dismount. During event finals, Legendre had trouble on his floor routine, finishing eighth. On high bar, both Leyva and Brooks hit great routines, but finished just out of the medals in fourth and fifth place, respectively.

On Sept. 18, 2010, gymnasts and gym clubs around the U.S. celebrated the 11th annual National Gymnastics

Day. National Gymnastics Day promotes physical fitness and gymnastics in communities throughout the country while raising money for Children’s Miracle Network through the Tyson Fitness Challenge. Since the partnership with Children’s Miracle Network was established in 2001, National Gymnastics Day has raised more than $1.2 million for Children’s Miracle Network through the participation and support of USA Gymnastics member clubs. All donations raised through the Tyson Fitness Challenge benefit Children’s Miracle Network hospitals in

the club or gymnast’s local area. “National Gymnastics Day is the one day a year that our community joins together to help promote our great sport at a higher level,” said Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics. “In addition to building awareness, National Gymnastics Day is also an opportunity to give back. Helping children in need is a worthy cause, and our family has done a tremendous job supporting Children’s Miracle Network.” Check out some of the great events that took place around the country. Please continue to send in your photos! Also, the Children’s Miracle Network must receive your money by Nov. 9 in order to qualify for prizes.

rhythmiC World ChamPioNShiPS U.S. rhythmic gymnastics all-around champion Julie Zetlin of Bethesda, Md., became the first U.S. woman since Mary Sanders in 2003 to advance to the all-around finals at the 2010 World Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships, held in Moscow. Zetlin finished 23rd with a score of 99.025. In addition, the U.S. rhythmic group qualified for the 2011 World Championships, the next step for them toward Olympic qualification.

Zetlin’s scores included a 24.850 for her rope routine, a 24.650 for her hoop routine,

a 25.400 in the ball event, and a 24.650 for her ribbon routine to finish with a total all-around score of 99.025. She said, “I’m very happy. I’ve had the number eight in my head for a while now because I wanted to make all-around finals and there are four routines in prelims and four routines in finals. I knew I had to stay consistent and calm and hit those eight routines. “ Zetlin finished 25th in the preliminary all-around competition, but qualified for the finals in the 22nd position due to the two gymnasts per country rule. She trains at Capital Rhythmics in Gaithersburg, Md., with her coach Olga Kutuzova. After prelims, Zetlin said, “I’m more than satisfied.

dooley, GluCkSteiN WiN World CuP SerieS SyNChro title

Logan Dooley of Lake Forest, Calif., and Steven Gluckstein of Atlantic Highlands, N.J., won the FIG’s World Cup Series title for synchronized trampoline, a first for the United States. They took top honors for the seven-event series based on their two gold and one silver medal finishes.

“Logan and Steven have just been incredible, and this is an outstanding accomplishment,” said Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics. “We are so encouraged about their results both individually and as a team. They are raising the bar for trampoline in the United States, and are to be commended on their hard work and dedication.” The duo clinched the Series crown by winning the synchronized trampoline title at the World Cup in Albacete, Spain, and the Nissen Cup in Davos Switzerland, as well as finishing second at the World Cup in Loule, Portugal. This is our biggest accomplishment thus far, for ourselves and our country,” said Gluckstein. “We love being first place!” Dooley said, “Realizing that this was a milestone accomplishment for USA Trampoline was both exciting and humbling.” In individual trampoline, Gluckstein (from Ultra Twisters) finished 12th in the World Cup standings, with Dooley (from World Elite) placing 14th. The World Cup Series for trampoline features seven events, and the overall champion and rankings are determined based on each

athlete’s accomplishments at those events. At the FIG World Cup in Spain, Gluckstein and Dooley easily won the title with their 49.700, more than three points ahead of silver-medalists Martin Myers and Charles Thibault of Canada (46.300). In individual trampoline, Gluckstein just missed the medal podium by three-tenths of a point for a fourth place finish at 40.500. Dong Dong of China won the men’s title at 41.800, just ahead of his teammate Chunlong Lu at 41.500. Japan’s Kazuma Takahashi was third at 40.800. Dooley was sixth at 39.600. A few weeks later, Dooley and Gluckstein won the silver medal at the Loule World Cup in Portugal, scoring a 49.300. The pair qualified fifth in prelims. France’s Pennes and Martiny, who led qualification, won gold with a 49.500. Shanelle Landry of Lafayette, La./Ultra Twisters, and Nani Vercruyssen of Honolulu, Hawaii/Hawaii Academy, finished fifth in women’s synchro with a 42.7. In individual trampoline finals, Gluckstein finished fifth with 40.900, and Dooley was eighth at 39.100. Dong Dong of China took the gold with a 43.200.
