July 31, 1999, marks the first
National Gymnastics Day! With Bela Karolyi to serve as National Chairman, we are very excited about the inaugural year of the one-day nationwide celebration of our sport. National Gymnastics Day seeks to communicate the Robert V. Colarossi
sense of self-esteem that gymnastics offers
President of USA Gymnastics
and to attract new participants to the sport.
I
recently attended the 4 Continents
Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships,
June 10-13, in Jacksonville, Fla. On behalf of USA Gymnastics, I would like to extend a sincere congratulations to Japan, the overall team champion of the event. Our United States Individual and Group athletes fared very well at this event, with junior Lindsay Powell earning the allaround bronze medal and two golds in ball and clubs. Tatyana Brikulskaya earned fourth place in the all-around and grabbed the silver medal in the ball event. Jessica Howard finished fifth all-around and won the bronze medal in the hoop event. The senior group's top finish was fifth and the juniors finished fourth. We were very pleased to host this successful competition. The Four Continents event, last hosted in the United States in 1984 in Indianapolis, is a major international competition for rhythmic gymnasts prior to the 2000 Olympic Games. It was remarkable to see the level of international competition and unique cultures represented at the championships. A record 21 countries participated in the event. We wish the best of luck to our U.S. rhythmic gymnasts as they head to the Rhythmic National Championships in Downers Grove, ill., at the end of June. This event will select the National Team for 1999 and 2000. July 31, 1999, marks the first National Gymnastics Day! With Bela Karolyi to serve as National Chairman, we are very excited about the inaugural year of the one-day nationwide celebration of our sport. National Gymnastics Day seeks to communicate the sense of self-esteem that gymnastics offers and to attract new participants to the sport. It is an effort to unite the estimated 4 million children who participate in gymnastics in over 3,500 clubs across the
country. USA Gymnastics and Bela Karolyi strongly urge you to take part in this special day. YOU CAN DO IT! USA Gymnastics will directly assist National Gymnastics Day promotions in over 20 primary ma rkets and will also provide the framework for National Gymnastics Day to all of its Member Clubs to encourage a broad participation in the celebration. Activities on July 31 w ill include local club demonstrations, appearances by Olympic and National Team athletes, open houses at local clubs and special mall promotions. Be sure to catch the Today Show on NBC, Wednesday, July 28, as Bela and some of the country's top names appear to promote National Gymnastics Day. I attended the Women's Junior Olympic Nationals in Austin, Texas in May, which were quite a success for our athletes. It was great to witness the high level of excellence at the event and to see old friends again. USA Gymnastics looks forward to sending our best athletes to the Pan Am Games in Winnipeg, Canada this summer. Our men's and women's teams have already been named and our Rhythmic Team will be selected after their National Championships at the end of June. Our elite athletes are currently in training for the upcoming John Hancock U.S. National Gymnastics Championships in Sacramento, Aug. 25-28, and the World Team Trials in Kansas City, Sept. 15-18. Both events promise to be exciting and extremely competitive. Congratulations to all the gymnasts of America. Remember that now is the time to set your goals for the rest of the year. Work
hard, train hard and we'll see you in Sacramento!

TRULY A PERFECT 10
•
1984 Olympic Gold Medalist Mary Lou Retton was named as one of the top 10 all-time favorite Wheaties athletes and the only female among the elite group including: 1980 U.S. Men's Olympic Hockey Team, John Elway, Lou Gehrig, Michael Jordan, Walter Payton, Cal Ripken Jr., Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth and Tiger Woods.
•
The press release stated, "Retton 's 1984 arms in the air victory pose is one of Wheaties' most memorable packages ." Wheaties is celebrating its 75th anniversary and has been running a campaign to the public entitled, " Vote For Your Favorite Wheaties Champion." More than 200,000 consumers helped select the top 10 all-time favorite Wheaties athletes, whose original- issue boxes were redistributed in May. USA Gymnastics caught up with Mary Lou and asked her a few questions.
•
•
USA GvmnasIiCS: How does it feel to still be remembered for your great moment in 1984 when you scored a perfect 10 on vault to win the Olympic All-Around Gold Medal? Mary lou: It's incredible. To be remembered 15 years later is such a huge honor. Just to be on the Wheaties box after winning 5 medals was incredible. In fact, it impressed my brothers more than winning the meda ls. We grew up with Wheaties on our table so it was a thrill of a lifetime. For me to be picked as one of the top 10 all -time favorite Wheaties ath letes just blows me away. I feel very honored .
•
USA GvmnasIiCS: Tell us a little about your fami ly. Mary Lou: My number one top priority is to be mom and wife. I have two children, Shayla, who is 4, and McKenna, who is 2. My life revo lves around them. I enjoy and love every minute of it. Shanno n and I are also going to celebrate our ninth anniversary this fa ll. USA Gvmnastics: Are you planning to get your girls involved in gymnastics? Mary lou: Shayla, my 4 year old, already takes gymnastics once a week. She just had her gymnastics recita l. She loved it. From the time my girls were born I was always tumbling and flipping for them because it made them smi le. They thought mom was silly. We put on leos and play "nastics." Shayla is starting to ask questions about the Olympics and why people want to get my autograph .

• USA GVmnastiCS: So you think it's important to get kids involved in gymnastics? Marll Lou: I think gymnastics is a fantastic sport for kidsgirls and boys . Every toddler loves to jump and tumble . It's a natural. I th ink our job as parents is to let them do what they like and give them lots of options. Right now, Shayla really likes gymnastics and McKenna tries to do it, too. Both of them are bui lt like me. Most of all they're having lots of fun. continued on page 39

n April 9-10, in Shanghai, China, members of the U.s. Gymnastics Team competed in a dual meet with China, with the U.S. women claiming a winner 's trophy and the U.S. men gaining valuable experience as both prepare for the upcoming World Championships being held in Tianjin. The women's victory, with the U.s. scoring 113.462 to China's 113.274, was significant against one of the strongest Chinese squads. The U.S. men were outscored by China, 172.125 to 168.00, but turned in some strong performances against the reigning world champions. The U.S. women's team was led by 16-year-old Morgan White, who trains at Cincinnati Gymnastics, and was the only athlete to compete in each of the four events, scoring solidly on the floor (9.5), the balance beam (9.5), and the uneven bars (9.7). The competition was extremely close, as the Chinese took the lead heading into the final routine of the evening. Kui Yuanyuan scored a 9.237 on the vault, leaving the meet in White's hands, needing a 9.312 to tie. Her score of 9.5 gave the U.S. team the victory. "I was extremely proud of our girls this week," commented Mary Lee Tracy, who served as the head coach of the women's team. "They stayed focused and worked ha d to perform at their highest level. Our goal was to consistently hit our routines, and that approach secured this team victory. Each membe of the team contributed to this win."

THE 6YM IS OUiET. MANY OF THE 1I6HTS ARE OFF AT THE OlYMPIC TRHlNIN6 CENTER IN COLORAOO ~PRIN6S. BUT JASON GATSON 6RABS THE ENTRANCE DOOR FOR HIS 6UEST, OPENIN6 IT WIDE TO DISPLAY THE 6YMNAmCS APPARATUS AT THE OLYMPIC TRAININ6 CENTER. THE BLEACHERS ARE ALL FOLDED UP. GATSON IS ONLY 5-FOOT-5, 155 POUNDS, BUT AS THE 1I6HT FROM OUTSIDE EN6ULFS HIM FROM BEHIND AS HE OPENS THE DOOR, HE CASTS AHU6E SHADOW. "If it's all right," Gatson, 18, says, "we'll just sit on the equipment." The equipment is as much a home to Gatson as is the place where he rests his head on a pillow each night. He became the youngest ever athlete to make the US. Men's World Championship team with a third-place at the 1997 John Hancock US. Gymnastics Championships. Gatson made his senior level debut in the 1998 Team Championships in Cincinnati, winning a team gold medal. His goal rests on an Olympic medal, be it in 2000, or even 2004. At the 1999 Winter Cup Challenge, Gatson scored a perfect 10.0 on the floor exercise. Yet he does not boast of that. Indeed, Gatson does not have either a problem with confidence, or a confidence problem. He is sure of himself inwardly, but is outwardly shy. His hazel eyes look his guest directly in the eyes as he answers questions. He's polite yet to the point, concentrating as he dismounts answers to questions about the road he has taken to the top. "The 10 at Winter Cup was kind of a fluke. During the prelims 1 missed a skill, so 1 wanted to redeem myself," Gatson said. "And you can always get better." Gatson scored the top score at the Pontiac International Team Championships in 1999, a competition between the USA, China and Romania, in which the USA won the team title. But the series of events that has led Gatson to the edge of international prominence was as uneven as the women's parallel bars. A broken back shelved him for the

second half of 1997. He was told his career was in jeopardy. However, Gatson never let it bother him, showing up to watch practices and doing what little he could to stay in shape until he was ready to compete again five months later in 1998. "Of course it was tough at times," Gatson said. "But 1 had a goal. 1 still loved to come to the gym. My teammates and the coaches--and,ofcourse,my farnily--could not have been more supportive." ''I'm not one to react over-dramatically to injuries, because 1 have seen a lot of athletes come back," said US. Coach Ron Brant. "Jason had been in the sport a long time when he suffered the setback. But he viewed it the right way, as an opportunity to regroup, rest up mentally and physically for a long period of time. 1 didn't have a doubt he'd get over it." Gatson's girlfriend knows a thing or two about gymnastics, and the Olympics. Jaycie Phelps claimed Olympic gold in 1996 for the USA Women's team. "Jaycie and 1 get along so well, it's just awesome," said Gatson. "It's a good situation for us, because we both understand what the other is facing and what it takes to be successful at what we're doing." Phelps, who is coaching in Mesa, Ariz., agrees. "People who aren't involved in the sport don't know what it takes," Phelps said. "It is easier for me to help him work some things out. 1 had some knee injuries also, so 1 can understand what Jason was going through. Once you get the goal in the back of your head, nothing can stop you--that's the way Jason is, too. This year he's just now really starting to come on. His work ethic is great."
DEBBIE 6RHON REMEMBERS THEN 5-YERR-OLO JRSON TURNIN6 FLIPS IN THE HOUSE. "We had a fireplace that was maybe a couple of feet high," Debbie recalls. "1 look one day, and there's Jason, doing flips off of it. He started playing T-ball, but then 1 look out there in the outfield, and he's doing flips. A couple of weeks later, 1 took him with me to a doctor's appointment 1 had, and he's doing flips in the doctor 's office. A lady there told me about a gymnastics program, and I called the next day. So it was pretty obvious what direction he wanted to go." Jason was excited for his first practice. But he was also nervous. "We kind of drug him in the door because he was scared to go in," Debbie said. "After that, we had to drag him out of the gym because he always wanted to
J U l Y / AUG U S T

keep practicing, keep trying new things and get better." The rules were strict in the house, and at the gym, for Jason, as well as his little brother Brandon, an actor living in Southern California who has appeared on several shows, including Baywatch, as well as a billboard advertisement. "Jason was only 6 when he started in gymnastics, but from the beginning he knew that school came first," Debbie said. "And in the gym, we always told him, 'There is someone out there better than you. If you want to be the best, you have to do your best to compete against them. But if they win, and you throw a fit or get a bad attitude, we will pull you out of the gym at that very moment.' It was never a problem, but we always wanted him to be aware of good sportsmanship." After a practice, Jason returned home and watched an Olympic qualifying meet. The broadcast cut away to show one of the competitors at the Olympics two years earlier having a gold medal draped around his neck. "1 want to go the Olympics," Jason said to his mother, "and get that big medal." "Lots of practice first," his mother said, hiding her smile in front of Jason. His ability was something special, and soon his competitiveness kicked in to reach the same level.
BLRINE WILSON IS RTHREE-TIME NRTlONRL CHRMPION. He and a host of other top U .S. gymnasts are, along with Jason, training at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. When Gatson scored the 10.0 on floor at the 1999 Winter Cup Challenge, he finished second all-around to his teammate Wilson. Wilson, who was on the 1996 Olympic team and finished 10th in the all-around that year, knows his biggest rival is Gatson. "With a young guy riding my heels like that it keeps me in check," Wilson said. "1 have to work out hard." What makes the rivalry so healthy is Wilson's attitude of being a mentor and Gatson's sense of humility, knowing he always has room to improve. "It's a really good relationship with Blaine and all the other guys on the team,," Gatson said. "Working out with Blaine and those guys really helps me a lot. Blaine is 24, and 1 look up to him. He's been a big help. All the guys have. The goal is a team medal at the Olympics - T-E-A-M." continued on page 38

FMADA'l COLOR CHALLENG by Mary Sowa, RD
Orange, green, blue, purple and red. Yes, these are colors of the rainbow and crayons, but they are also colors of fruits and vegetables you will find in the store in the coming months. Summer is the perfect time to meet the five a day color challenge. It is fun, easy and nutritious to include five colorful servings of fruits and vegetables a day. This simple challenge not only leads to better nutrition but will also make you a healthier gymnast, far better prepared to perform to your potential. continued on page 24
Introducing the Newest Grip on the
Bars! 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 velcro strap grips.

Some of the top vitamins minerals that fruits and vegetables contribute to our diet are Vitamin A, C, folic acid, beta-carotene, potassium and calcium. Perhaps you are familiar with the common functions of these nutrients. Here are some ways they help your performance. Vitamin C is important in healing wounds and skin integrity. In gymnastics, it can help heal rips and bruises. Beta-carotene is an anti-oxidant and guards against tissue damage, like muscle tears and strains. Folic acid is important in red blood cell production. Red blood cells deliver oxygen to your tissues for optimal energy. Potassium is needed for healthy muscle contraction and ample glycogen storage. As you practice numerous routines and drills, you rely on potassium to help contract your muscles over and over again. Having adequate glycogen stores leads to enhanced stamina and performance. The good news is, if your diet meets the five a day color challenge, you shouldn't need to take extra vitamins and minerals.

" Now that you know the role fruits and vegetables play in enhancing your gymnastics, lets talk more about meeting this nutrition challenge. How can we make sure we are getting enough? Remember, the goal is five a day and this is one area where variety really is, "the spice of life." Mix different colorful fruit or vegetable combinations to your meals each day. The richer the color the more nutrients you are likely to get. Here is one combination that meets the five a day color challenge: • At breakfast add some fresh or frozen berries (blueberries) to your cereal. • At lunch, add a salad with two different colored vegetable (carrots and beets)
• At dinner add a bright colorful (zucchini) vegetable. • Don't forget to bring a piece of fresh (grapes) or dried (apricots) fruit for your snack break at the gym. That will make five a day!! Make your choices colorful and try different foods each day. More is better when it comes to fruits and vegetables. This section of food from the pyramid is not only colorful but crunchy, easy to prepare, low in fat and full of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Fruits and vegetables taste great, provide carbohydrates to fuel your workout and make great snacks when you are in a hurry. Color your way to good nutrition by meeting the five a day color challenge. Have a great summer!!

WID,
Just imagine grips that fit with the comfort of your oldest, most faded jeans-from the first swing. Consider baby suede padding , NEW SOFT SWING blue foam insert for those who need a little extra softness, a distinctive wrist strap and you have a 501 BLUE. Most gymnasts want a grip that 's soft and easy to break in. They also want them to be durable. The 50 I does this better than any other grip on the market AND they do it with style and good pricing. 501 UNEVEN BAR GRIP WITH DOWEL, HOOK & LOOP sizes 0-3 G50J-JO $33.75

The TEN.O CLASSIC is the most durable grip on the market. We know - our customers talk. Of course, it takes longer to break in CLASSIC grips because of the low stretch factor of the heavy duty leather. In fact , in recent independent laboratory tests the TEN. 0 classic leather was compared to the leather in other popular grips and was found to withstand 18% greater pulling stress. If you are a hard training, big trick gymnast who doesn't like her grips to stretch or doesn't like to buy grips frequently we recommend using THE CLASSICS. Literally thousands of gymnasts do! You will love the baby suede padding , the custom designed webbing for a fresh new look, and the new soft swing insert. UNEVEN BAR GRIP WITH DOWEL AND HOOK & LOOP sizes 0-3 G9JO $34.50

Club demonstrations National Team appearances Gymnastics highliSht video Promotional materials
PREFERRED 'LEVEL The second level will be the Preferred Level. This level represents cities that were not identified as primary markets for 1999, but have a local person wilJ.ing to organize a public show in his/her local market. These markets may feature the following programming: • • • •
Club demonstrations GymnastiCS highlight video Promotional materials Coupon for free gymnastics lesson at part icipating clubs
PARTICIPANT LEVEL The Participant Level is for those clubs who will not have a public demonstration, but instead host an Open House, Party, Free Gymnastics Lesson Day or just decorate their gym to celebrate National Gymnastics Day.

1999 MEN'S JUNIOR OLYMPIC NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS The 1999 Junior O lympic National Championships for Men featured the theme "Algonquin to Houston-The 25th Anniversary." This special 25th anniversary Junior Olympic National Championships was held in the spacious Hofheinz Pavill ion at the University of Houston in Texas.

The 1999 Championships was a wonderfully run event which featured 446 a thletes competing in three different classes of competition, Junior Elite Class I 16-18 year aids, Junior Elite Class II 14- 15 year a ids and Class III 12-13 year aids. Day one featured the Junior Elite Class I and II Preliminary All-Around competition and Junior Elite Class I and II Regional Team competition.

The Junior Elite Class III All-Around competition determined the 14 member Junior National Team. The AIIAround Finals for Junior Elite Class I and II a thletes determined the 12 JEI and 12 JEll
athletes who will participate in the 1999 John Hancock U.S. Championships which will be held in Sacramento. The third day of competition featured the Individual Event Finals which included the top six athletes on each event from all three competitive classes. What a show these athletes put on for a ll the specta tors in the Individual Event Finals. The level of difficulty and expertise was outstanding . The Junior O lympic National Championships has come a long way since that first out door meet held in Algonquin, Illinois in 1974, but the tradition and commitment to excellence within the program has remained steadfast. A special thanks to Bill Foster, Tom Meadows, Aaron Basham and Amy Basham, of Cypress Academy, for a great meet weekend . (ontinued on page 36 USA

• GATSON (ontinued from page 20
USA Coach Ron Brant appreciates the team-first attitude permeating the team. He backs Wilson's claim that Gatson's limits are not yet known. "Let's keep in mind that Jason is still one of the younger athletes," Brant said. "But he really has a desire to achieve international success. Once you have that desire, you have to be directed to do what it takes to reach that next level. The commihnent is a little scary when they first find out what it takes to get there. Once Jason got over that hurdle, he accepted that responsibility to continue forward. Jason has the physical talent. But for our sport at this level, talent is only 50 percent of it. The other 50 percent is initiating the thought process of realizing the commitment this will take from your life.
6RTSON'SMENTRL FOCUS IS SOMETHIN6 BRRNT RPPRECIRTES. "He's good in the gym," Brant said. "His emotional level is very steady. He doesn't let the day-to-day frustration get him down. That's important - to push through to what it is you want to achieve,
because the process is the hard part. lf you don't enjoy the process, you won't succeed. The competition is the fun part. But it is the day-to-day work that prepares you to handle what you will experience at the meets."
THE RTTITUOE IN THE 6YM OURIN6 PRRCTICE HRS PUSHED THE RTHLETES. "The ahnosphere that has been generated in our gym has moved everything up because Jason sees what Blaine has achieved to be a three-time national champ, and Blaine does not want to get beat," Brant said. "All the World and Olympic team members really push each other." While the respect between Wilson and Gatson is mutual, Wilson sees an even brighter future for Gatson than he does for himself. "Jason can easily be better than anybody in the United States," Wilson said. "He's 18 now, and when I was that age, I couldn't even smell what he's doing now. He's coming into his prime - he'll be 19 this year and then 20 in 2000, the next Olympics. I'm in my prime now, and have been for the last year, year in a half or so. I want to stay there

until the 2000 Games, and Jason is the one who is pushing me. But let's be open here: Jason can definitely surpass what I've done or will do. He'll be around for the 2004 Games, too. The talent he has is just amazing, no one in the world can beat him, and I'm fairly sure of that statement, or I wouldn't say it. I don't think there is anyone I've seen, anywhere in the world, who has his talent and confidence." As morning turns to noon, Gatson finishes answering questions. A grou p getting a tour of the facility enters. There are whispers as he is recognized. He smiles toward the group, and then offers his visitor a tip on the best way to exit the facility. "You know something," Gatson says, "the last USA medal for the men in gymnastics was in 1984. Can you imagine what it would be like for us to win a medal? I can't imagine what that would be like." He offers a firm handshake, and then a confession.

ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICAN AWARDS FOR MEN The Men's Program at USA Gymnastics has, for several years, recognized the academic achievement of our junior gymnasts through the Academic AIIAmerican Award. The junior program is designed to provide a training ground for the development of young athletes. While physical development is obviously important, the program a lso stresses the development of values, morals and social skills which will remain with these young men all their lives. Encouraging a high level of academic achievement in our young men is as important as encouraging their athletic achievement. The Academic All-American Award recognizes three levels of academic achievement by high school athletes. The three levels of award are: First Team

Other members of the US. women's team included 1991 World Champion and 1992 Olympian Kim Zmeskal (Cincinnati Gymnastics), Angela Beam (Bart Conner Gymnastics), Audra Fraim (Dynamo Gymnastics), Jamie Dantzscher (Charter Oaks Gliders), and Tasha Schwikert (Gymcats). Zmeskal was awarded the Mayor's Trophy from the event. The US. men fought hard after 1998 national champion, Blaine Wilson (US. Olympic Training Center), retired from the event following the floor exercise. After scoring a 9.6 on the floor exercise, Wilson felt a slight strain on his recovering shoulder, and withdrew from competition. The US. men still turned in strong performances, led by 18-year-old Jason Gatson (US. Olympic Training Center). Gatson and teammate Jim Foody (UCLA) each competed in five of the six events, but were unable to close the gap on the Chinese. The U.s. men did outscore the Chinese on the vault and floor exercise, and Gatson received the award for the best upcoming gymnast. "Our m en have been consistently competitive against the best in the world this year," said Peter Kormann, head coach of the men's team. "Competing in China is always a special challenge because the Chinese are even more powerful in their own surroundings. This competition served as a good measuring stick for us, as we develop our final preparations for this year 's World Championships." The remaining members of the US. men's team were Jay Thornton (U.s. Olympic Training Center), Trent Wells (UC Berkeley), and Chris Young (US. Olympic Training Center).

There's a whole new generation of gymnasts out there. They're confident. Bold. And they're good. They want to be judged for who they are, not who they followed. Our new catalog is dedicated to this new generation. They challenged us to look at everything from a fresh perspective and ask ourselves, "Why not?" From mind-boggling futuristic fabrics to startling new design innovations. We embraced change. And the change has done us good. We're ready for the new generation. Are you?
