A message from Caroline Hunt, USA Gymnastics

Congratulations Team USA who delivered a Golden Sweep in all Individual events at the Junior Pan American Championships in Cuba last week as well as 2 Junior Group medals!

 

USA won team gold, Individual gold and silver (Rebecca Sereda and Polina Kozitskiy respectively) with Alexis Page in a close 4th. Rebecca took the gold in rope, hoop and ball and Polina in clubs. Polina also earned the silver in rope and hoop. Alexis competed in both ball and clubs finals.

 

The Group from World Rhythmics earned a silver and bronze in finals—bringing the medal count to 11 total.

 

Congratulations on wrapping up the international season with a bang!

 

The United States has earned a spot at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games in Singapore based on the finish of Polina Kozitskiy in Cuba. Alexis also positioned the USA for a spot as well.

 

As the holidays approach, let us be thankful for the heath, love and support of all the gymnasts, coaches and judges dedicated to rhythmic gymnastics in America—

 

Happy Thanksgiving,

 

Caroline Hunt

A letter from Caroline Hunt about the Chicago Cup/JO Optional

View Results

Dear All,

Please accept our sincere gratitude to all the gymnasts, coaches, parents and clubs who helped make the Chicago Cup/JO Optional event such a great experience.

One note: the scoring program for the Levels 7 and 8 ended up averaging D1/D2 instead of adding them based on the change to the rule. The program was re-written following this change, but on the first day of Level 7 it was only producing the former formula, despite the on-site attempts of our scoring manager (who wrote the program). All scores were calculated the same way and this has no effect on the rank—it just meant all the scores were lower.

There were so many different scoring programs running over the 6-day event—We apologize for the inconvenience.

The rhythmic program continues to try to give more opportunities for US gymnasts to compete and bring as many members of the community together as possible for significant events.

Congratulations,

Caroline Hunt \USA Gymnastics \Rhythmic Program Director

In Memoriam

Jody Hurlburt

As many of you already know, Jody Hurlburt has passed on after her valiant battle with cancer. Many people from our community sent kind notes to her online journal and surely this meant a lot to  Jody and her family. Jody was Regional Director for more than 10 years.

It is an overwhelming loss of such an incredible woman. In such a hard month as this, losing two incredible members of the rhythmic community, please remember to celebrate the health and happiness of family and friends and to cherish the role of sport in enhancing our lives while giving our energy to support one another and create positive experiences. 

God bless Jody's family and all of us grieving. Her life will be celebrated on May 23th at 4:00 pm at the Arcata Community center  in Arcata, California.

Please see the updated CO General schedule posted on the RG page under events.

The CO Olympic Training Center has been undergoing construction for the past 9 months which has meant that the requests of the RG program have not been approved in as timely manner as hoped.However, the RG Program would still like to make the opportunity to take the JO Judges' Course available in Colorado Springs February 16-17, 2009 now that this request has been approved. The Course fees have been reduced as a result of the inconvenience.

Accommodations: Olympic Training Center: $45/night and $30/day for meals. The registration form must be completed by Friday, February 6th with Stephanie (credit card only; no checks).
