Pasadena : AA Finalists, photo by Nakamoto NATIONAL OPEN GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE PHILIPPINES by Fred Dennis, National Advisory Gymnastic Coach Small in number but big in hopes the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines (GAP) hosted its National Open Gymnastics Championships on April 29th and May 1st at the Rizal Memorial Coleseum in Manila. The competition was also the first of three elimination trials to select a men's and women's team to go to Tokyo in August for the first Asian Youth Championships. Although there were only two equipped gyms in the country a total of 12 women and 15 men entered as all around. This marks the first time most of the Olympic events were included for the team championship to act as an incentive for the gymnasts to train in all of the events. The Araneta University men's team coached by Mrs. Alkabo was the unopposed team champion while the University of the East women's team coached by Mrs. Navaro won over the University of the Philippines. Rolondo Albrera, the lone male entry of the University of the East narrowly upset the two Olympians Norman Henson and Earnesto Beren with a total all-around score of 45.64 in very strict judging. In floor exercise he delighted the fans with a well executed handspring front saito, forward roll, straddle jump front saito, and drew handsome applause for his diamidov on parallel bars. Fifteen year old Milagros Montes of the University of the Philippines was the crowd favorite displaying very aggressive areal and tumbling sequences in floor exercise, as well as a nice forward areal (layout) from the beam. However, she lost ground on the uneven parallel bars and came out second in the all-around to Evangelin Pamo ceno of the University of the East, who scored 25.25. Adelia Decena also of UE was a close third. An insight into this country's physical potential in gymnastics was aptly provided by nine year old Ablino Enrico who impressed everyone at the conclusion of competition with the following floor exercise routine: Round off, flic flac, back saito, flic fiac, back saito "stick," back walkover, to splitz, attempted press to handstand, handspring front saito, forward roll, head spring, cartwheel, round-off flic flac, flic flac, flic flac, flic flac, back saito! Great improvement is expected in the upcoming trials especially in the side horse and uneven parallel bars which are almost new to the Philippino gymnasts.
