In 2000 and 2004, I guess gyms didn't have the boost in enrollment they were expecting do to the Olympics. In 2000, the team didn't win anything so people said that's what the problem was. In 2004, they won a lot but apparently there was still no boost. What do you think will happen this year?
I'm looking for some good ideas to tie our summer session into the Olympics. Something to advertise to the community to bring in more students through the summer which is normally the slowest time of the year. Any ideas?

Here are the proposed boys USAG Junior Olympic routines for the next quadrenium.
Thoughts?
Here are mine:
Floor:
Level 4&5:
-I really like the press from prone to stradle stand. Excellent addition. But why not have it in...
I just noticed that GK are now selling all of the Adidas Olympic leotards...probably a little pricey but hey, I suppose it's cool for kids to be able to wear them (not that I agree with it).
It's a shame though - they're only available in the USA/Canada. My favourite Terin Humphrey leo :( :( :(
I thought it would be fun to name our picks or "dream team" for the 2008 Olympics... My faves for the womens USA team right now would be:
Shawn Johnson
Ivana Hong (if she is old enough)
Shantessa Pama
Nastia Liukin
Shayla Worley
Jana Bieger
*** my very favorite up & comer is Jordyn Wieber...
