Stanford Blog

Some of the Stanford men's gymnastics team have been blogging from their trip to Norway which they just finsihed

Near the end of the workout, our team and the Norwegians had a ring strength contest, where people on both teams had to hold an iron cross for as long as they could. Our team was led by ringmen James Fosco and Dennis Zaremski, while the Norwegians had quite a collection of guys that could do crosses, including a 45 year old coach. I (Sean) was quite jealous, as I am still unable to pull that off. In the end, Stanford was able to capture the victory!

Meet of the Week: 1993 Winter Cup

1993 was a time of big change in gymnastics. ROV - risk, originality and virtuosity had just been eliminated and the gymnasts had to get used to a different mindset. I found this competition immensely interesting. There were a number of big names, some at the beginning of their career, some towards the end. Nobody really understood this code at the time and the major trends had yet to emerge, and there was also a great battle for 1st.

NCAA: Looking back

With the finals for the NCAA just around the corner, it is a good time to look back at some previous NCAA championships. Let's go back to 1992. Back then they only had 3 teams in the final, whereas these days they have 6 teams. Personally I prefer 3 teams as it makes the competition easier to follow and has more drama. As a spectator you can't really follow 6 teams at once. However, not everyone agrees. Some feel that 6 has more energy as you have fans from more teams cheering. Anyway, have a look at the competition and judge for yourself.
