The appearance of this blog

By
You will have noticed that I've changed the blog ... this is to try to make multiple posts more accessible and readable and to help people to navigate the site. There are now over 350 postings here - so quite a history, and it is building all the time.



The features that used to be positioned around the current posts in the old design - blog archive, listings of publications, online resources, links, videos, documentaries and blog list - are available now in the sidebar to the right.

You can vary the view using the drop down menu to the top left. I have chosen the magazine view as default, but you should feel free to experiment and choose whichever you like - flipcard, classic, mosaic, sidebar, snapshot or timeline.

Please do provide feedback on this development as a comment to this blog - I want to know what you like and/or dislike about it. I can make some minor adjustments to this template, or revert to the old, classic template - depending on what you want.  But so far I think the consensus is that it's an improvement.

Thanks for any feedback!

They live and train on the same territory. ā“ Do you manage the gymnasts' personal trainers or do you evenly distribute the responsibilities? šŸ’œ We work in contact with the personal trainers, I listen to their opinions. For example, if the trainer believes that their athlete needs to be given a little rest or do fewer repetitions of a particular exercise, we do so. ā“ Describe the current generation of children.

Simone and the others - results and reflections

By
In the end, it was as predicted : Simone and the others, with Simone's teammate, Alexandra Raisman, providing the back up.  I do not need to point out that, by definition, the Americans are scoring significantly higher marks than the rest of the field.  Congratulations to them! Aliya Mustafina finished in third place.  The 2012 bronze medalist led the competition after vault and uneven bars, but had a very nervous outing on beam that might have taken a less experienced gymnast out of the medals.  A bravura performance on floor brought Aliya back though to confirm her third place all around.  From her senior debut in 2010 to today, Mustafina has continuously set high standards of grace.    It is the first time since 2000 that a gymnast (Amanar) has medalled in the all around at two consecutive Olympics, and  if Aliya can medal on Saturday's uneven bars final, she will once again be Russia's biggest medal winner of the women's gymnastics.  Russ...
