Steve Penny Senior Vice President of

USA Gymnastics

"Who's Next?" Still basking in the glow of the fabulous success at the 2004 Olympic Games, it can be easy to slip into a mind set that USA Gymnastics is here to stay on the medal podium. Winning 56 medals from 2001 to 2004 has been an historic run by a talented group of athletes and coaches who were committed to re­establishing USA Gymnastics as a world power in the sport.

A new day is dawning, however, and the big question is "Who's Next?"

Who is the next Paul Hamm or Carly Patterson? Who's the next Mary Sanders, Jennifer Pariila, or Arthur & Shenea? Or, will some of these athletes continue to shine in their respective discipline?

The answer and good news is - they are all over the p lace! Within weeks of the OlympiC Games, the next group of emerging athletes was already traveling the globe making names for themselves. First it was a handful of medals at the PAGU Event Finals, then the FIG World Cup Final.

Just recently, a few who were knocking on the door the past four years, enjoyed their moment in the spotlight at the 2005 American Cup presented by T.J. Maxx. The U.s. line-up included just three athletes with World Championships experience. But the young Americans earned a total of 10 medals, including four golds at this prestigious World Cup event. With Significant victories against top international fields, we are well on our way to answering the question, "Who's Next?"

Olympic sports are measured in four-year cycles, with the most publicity, sponsor support and attention paid toward the end of the cycle - the next OlympiCS. It is our job as the staff, members and supporters of USA Gymnastics to sustain that momentum into the next quad, strengthen our grassroots participation, and maintain our position as a leader within both the gymnastics community and the greater Olympic sports world.

Through the dedication of many, we have been able to build our development programs and maintain our leading role. USA Gymnastics has created and refined an incredible infrastructure of Junior Olympic events and athlete identification programs, generating valuable opportunities for our young gymnasts and funneling emerging talent to the elite level.

We are fortunate to enjoy the assistance of some outstanding corporate sponsors as well. These corporate partners share our core values and want to contribute to our growth and success. We work closely with these companies to help them create a positive association between USA Gymnastics and their brands.

Visa, T.J. Maxx, GKlElite Sportswear, AAI, and A-I Awards are among the companies continuing their support through 2008, and should be applauded for their commitment to USA GymnastiCS and our athletes.

A team philosophy is essential in creating successful partnerships and programs. You are a part of that team! Successful partnerships provide value to the sponsors and benefits back to the gymnastics community in the way of increased funding, increased awareness for the sport, and increased access to opportunities. Please patronize the companies that support USA Gymnastics and I encourage you to participate in the marketing activities that are made available through their involvement.

We all benefit from a strong foundation . For a national governing body, a healthy corporate base is one of the building blocks of a strong foundation. USA Gymnastics is fortunate that many of our building blocks are secure. We can look to a future filled with success, growth and shining moments, like those we shared in Athens, and those yet to be celebrated in Beijing. And with your help and support, together we can answer the question, "Who's Next?"

Gymnastics Championships, a silver .r/,. & medal in all-around from the 2003 Pan American "'0 f Games and has been consistently ranked second in the U.S., but Olga Kannansky is hardly a household name.

Kannansky, a rhythmic gymnast, has placed second at the National Championships every year since she began competing at the senior level in 2001, first finishing behind Jessica Howard and then Mary Sanders.

With Sanders and Howard both retired, Karmansky is the frontrunner to inherit America's rhythmic gymnastics crown. 'I1le 18-year-old from Brooklyn, N.Y. is prepared to pick up where Sanders left off.

And, Karmansky did just that by winning the 2005 Rhythmic Challenge. When asked how it feels to lead the USA Rhythmic program now, she said, "Leading the USA Rhythmic Program feels wondrous and I am excited to represent the U.S. well in the upcoming international competitions."

SALUTATIONS FROM THE WORLD OF COLLEGIATE GYMNASTICS!

We hope this issue finds you all recovering from Fall competitions schedules and successfully navigating through another exciting year of Winter competition. We are now well into what has become a historic collegiate season-the implementation of a new national assigning system for judges is a huge step toward more consistent regular season scoring. While there have certainly been examples of inconsistencies the overall trend this year shows teams and individuals being more appropriately separated. We hope fans will continue to be patient with lower scores and some inconsistencies while the system is fine-tuned but we do believe we're laying the foundation for even more exciting collegiate competition in the future.

Teams are now working hard to maximize their final regular season ran kings which are based on a Regional Qualifying Score (RQS). You can follow the rankings weekly at www.troester.(om but if you want to do the math yourself, this is how we arrive at the RQS for teams, all-arounders, and individual event specialists. Take the six highest scores, at least three of which must be from away meets (no more than three from home meets). Remove the highest score and average the remaining five and you arrive at a team's RQS. The last meet that can be included happens the weekend of

LEFT ANNABETH EBERLE-UTAH

RIGHT ALEXIS BRION-ALABAMA

FAR RIGHT NATALIE FOlEY-STANFORD

March 26-27 this year, which is conference championships weekend for many teams. After everyone's RQS is calculated, the evening of March 27 the top 18 teams will be "seeded" into the six NCAA Regional Competition sites (West­Washington, North Central-Utah, South Central-Nebraska, Central-Alabama, Northeast-New Hampshire, Southeast­Florida) according to the following grid:

There is always some shuffling required based on where host teams end up ranked and travel distances involved­the NCAA Women's Gymnastics Committee starts with the rankings and then, if necessary, makes adjustments based on

The last three team places at each regional meet are selected by the next three highest RQS's of teams within each region who are not in the top 18. There are six individual

places at each regional that go to the top five All Arounders in the region who are not on a qualifying team and one individual specialist per event (also based on RQS). The top two teams, the top two All Arounders (who are not on those teams), and any individual event champions not otherwise qualified from each Regional move on to NCAA Nationals, which will take place April 21-23 at Auburn University.

Best wishes for a safe and successful Spring and thanks for your interest in the collegiate program!

The Techrol1 additive is unbeatable a/ can leave deposits on critical engine parts, reducing performance-something that auto makers keepinguilaiengineparlsciean.

and drivers alike understandably want to avoid. It's a tough standard, one that Chevron with Techron was already good

enough to meet. That's why we're first again.

Olga Karmansky continued from page 28

She added, "I want to compete really well internationally, to hold up Mary's standings and placements that she made last year and just help the u.S. rise higher and higher [in the international standings]."

That task has not always been easy in a sport that has long been dominated by gymnasts from European countries.

"Competing in Europe is just awesome because the audience knows what rhythmic is all about," Karmansky said. "So many peaple come to watch ... and they' re just so enthusiastic."

Americans are more familiar with the Aips of artistic gymnastics than with the five apparatus of rhythmic gymnastics: rope, hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon. Rhythmic gymnasts must create a routine set to music that incorporates constant movement of the apparatus with dance. It requires an immense amount of Aexibility. Ballet plays a large role in their training.

In the U.S., the rhythmic program is on the rise. At the 2003 World Championships Sanders finished ei~hth in the all-around qualifying competition and Sanders, Karmansky and Lisa Wang placed 10th as a team, both record high fi nishes for the u .S. Sanders' ranking qualified the USA to send one athlete to the 2004 Olympic Games. Only countries with athletes that finish in the top-five automatically receive two berths for the Olympics.

Sanders then finished first at the 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials, taking the one available spot. If Karmansky wants her shot at the Olympics she will have to wait until the 2008 Games in Beijing when she will be 22. The more than three years before the next Games are an eternity in a physically demanding sport such as rhythmic gymnastics.

"That would be awesome if my body could stand the workouts and everything that long," she sa id. "That would be really great, but I'm just taking everything day by day, competition by competition and just seeing where it takes me."

Karmansky currently trains twice a day Monday through Friday, with Tuesdays off, and once a day on Saturdays and Sundays. Her practice schedule varies with her competition schedule. She will cut back a few practices if no events are coming up or her cooch wants her to rest.

Her gym, Nova Athletics, is a five-minute walk from her house in Brooklyn. Karmansky switched to Nova in 2003 to help ease the financial burden on her parents, whose sacrifices have not gone unnoticed by their daughter.

"They've done everything they could for me," she said. "They've put aside everything that has to do with them. They've put all their money and energy into me and I'm so grateful and thankful for a ll the support they've given me for 10 years."

How much longer that level of support will be required is uncertain. Karmansky has aspirations beyond gymnastics and college lies in the near future. Her plan is to enroll in January 2006, but nothing is final, she said. She recen~y took the SAT and is contemplating possible majors.

"I'm still vacillating between about five things," she said. "I want to be a court lawyer, but then I'm also thinking about other things like a broodcast journalist [or] something in public relations."
