RG National Program ClarificationsTuesday, 9 March 2010Rule Clarifications... Level 3 freehand routine - required rhythmic steps in Level 3 Freehand - 3 spring points please change to 4 spring points - to get the rhythmic steps. In the routine the 2 x 1/2 jumps are in bold indicating it is an element. This is incorrect - the rhythmic steps are the element. Level 3 freehand routine - not a standing body wave - it should be a standing circumduction.
Level 2 freehand routine - not standing circumduction - it should be a standing body wave.

FIG Appointment
Rohan Kennedy, Monday, 1 March 2010Congratulations to Paul Szyjko
Men's Gymnastics - GA/AIS Olympic Squad CampRohan Kennedy, Monday, 1 March 2010Report from the Men's Camp The first of the 2010 AIS/GA Olympic Squad camps concluded on Saturday after a week of training. The 7 member junior and senior squads were joined by 6 other athletes invited to attend the camp to gain valuable training and team experience in the lead up to the 2010 competition season.
With the Pacific Rim Championships not too far away this camp provided National Coach Vladimir Vatkin with the opportunity to review the progress of the athletes who will be in contention for the 3 junior and 3 senior positions. The athletes will be back training at the AIS for another week long camp leading into the Men’s Pacific Rim team selection trial to be held on Saturday 27th March. Unfortunately Mitchell Morgans fractured a finger early in the week and required surgery which means he will not be fit to trial for the Pacific Rim Championships. We wish him a speedy recovery.
