    Medal presentation attire

    What is up with the grey jackets? They jackets looked like astronaut outfits. I saw that the swimmers had them for medals too. I much prefer the swimmer warmup jackets with the stars on the back.

    Parents What to do with all these medals?

    I have a great problem and I'm hoping to get some advice from the board here. My daughter recently finished her second competition season and, I'm proud to say, has racked up a huge number of medals over those two seasons. I had installed a hook in her room for them a little way into her first...

    Good gymnastics videos like "gold medal gymnastics by amanda borden" is it worth it??

    Is it worth to buy the videos or is there a site that you could get them cheaper or even free?

    Parents Ideas for displaying child's medals from meets

    Finished up our first year competing at level 4. Wow it sure was exciting with all the ups and downs of placing and not placing. We bought our daughter a medal holder at one of the meets and it's pretty full :) which is a great thing. So that had me thinking long term. How do parents of...

    2008 Olympics: Chinese Gymnasts/Medal Debate.

    Hi, so I am doing a research paper on the controversy of the Chinese gymnasts ages at the 2008 Olympics, and whether or not they should get their medals stripped like they did in the 2000 Olympics. I am wondering if you guys had any opinions about it, and if you knew of any research databases...

    Help finding USA Gymnasitics Logo medals

    Our gym will be hosting a meet in the near future and they want to use the medals that have the USA Gymnastics logo on them. We've gotten them at state (Idaho) before but I can't seem to be able to find them. I have checked the logical place, the USA Gymnastics site and several other online...

    First Gold Medal for Little DD

    What a great weekend! We had our second compulsory meet and little dd had a pretty good day! First was vault and if you remember, she is barely taller than the vault mat and we literally weren't sure if she would make it over at the first meet. Well, somewhere in the past couple weeks she has...

    Medals or Ribbons at Competitions?

    A recent discussion arose at our gym this week, centered around the awards given at compulsory meets. Does the Meet Director make the decision whether to give medals or ribbons to the girls that place or are there specific guidelines dictated by the type of meet (invitational, preliminary...

    Displaying Medals, Ribbons, and Trophies?!

    So. Im lost, I have a rack, and you add little hooks to it, as you need more space...But im getting tired off running out of hooks, and having to get more.... What are some good display ways? Do you think medals look better with about 10 to a hook, or 1` to a hook? :confused:

    How do you display ribbons/medals?

    My dd is starting to get ribbons and medals from different sports (but hopefully now will be more gymnastics). I'm curious as to how everyone displays their awards? Do you use hooks, shelves, etc? And if you could say where you got the displays, that would be great! Thanks in advance!

    Parents Medals and labels

    Are the medals that your gymmie received labels with anything, like event and place? One two meets that my DD attended did it to the medals. Today I found Avery labels that were 1/2 in by 2 inches while I was cleaning my desk and labels all on her medals like this: meet name and date...

    Parents medal display idea

    Medals can accumulate quickly can't they? If your gym-bug is like mine, she has to have them all on display. I found a neat way to do just that. I bought a white pole type curtain rod and attached decorative brackets to the wall. The pole just lays in the brackets so you can one lift one end and...

    Parents Clank Clank...we have medals!

    Results of the "Freak Meet" are in! The host gym sent the girls their medals and goodie bags! Basically a judge had to score the girls that did not get a chance to finish before we got kicked out in order to do the awards for the Level 4 teams. In my DD's 6/7 group there were only 3 scores...

    What do you do with your ribbons/medals/trophies?

    Where do you keep your ribbons/medals/trophies? I have my trophies like displayed on all my dressers so thats not a problem. My medals used to hang on the posts on my bed but that made it kinda hard to sleep at night when they were clanging around. I used to keep my ribbons on a stuffed...

    Same score, 2 different medals in gymnastics

    Tuesday, August 19 BEIJING -- For the first few minutes, Nastia Liukin didn't even know the score, unable to see anything beyond the "2" in front of her name. When she finally did look, she figured she had to be seeing double. "I turned to my dad and said, 'Dad, we got the same score.' He...
