Ron Froehlich Chair of the Board USA Gymnastics
Steve joined USA Gymnastics in 1999 as Sr. Vice President, overseeing a variety of areas that focused on business development. In 2001, his role was expanded to oversee sponsorship, marketing, communications, television rights and event management.
His selection culminates a national search conducted by a 14-member Selection Committee comprised of current USA Gymnastics Board of Directors members including athletes, and non-board members. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the 14-member Selection Committee for their time and effort on this most important task of naming a new preSident as well as all of the members of the Board of Directors. I believe they were thorough in the process and named an outstanding candidate for the job. While our board has been busy with naming a new preSident, our athletes and coaches have also been hard at work. Olympic All-Around Champion Paul Hamm was named Sullivan Award winner, only the second time in history that a gymnast has won the coveted award. Kurt Thomas was the other gymnast to win the award in 1979, following his two gold, three silver and one bronze medal performance at the 1979 World Championships. Olympic All-Around Champion Carly Patterson was also one of the top 10 finalists for this prestigious award, giving our sport even more recognition. The women's program just completed a European Tour where top athletes trained and competed in the national Steve Penny was named team training center of England and Switzerland with President of USA their national teams, earning numerous medals. The trip Gymnastics gave valuable experience to our athletes as they prepare for the 2005 World Championships. In addition, the women's program is in full swing with the debut of the new Junior Olympic compulsory routines. This major project is nearing completion and promises to be well attended by our membership. In Trampoline and Tumbling, the U.S. earned five medals at the Flower Cup in the Netherlands; while in Acrobatic Gymnastics, one of our Junior Women's Groups earned a bronze medal at the Flanders International Acro Cup in Belgium. In the world of Rhythmic Gymnastics, the u.s. athletes were successful internationally as well, winning medals in two international competitions. You can read more details about each of these events in this publication. As Chair of the Board, it's a pleasure to announce so many outstanding results and to welcome Steve in his new role with USA Gymnastics. The staff is preparing for National Gymnastics Day on August 6, as well as the USA Gymnastics National Congress and Visa Championships, August 10-13 in Indianapolis, Indiana. We hope you get involved in all of these events and look forward to seeing you in Indy.
