I have a lot to say, so sorry for the long post. I have very limited free
acess time this summer, and only when I do can I send mail.
Anyway, here we go:

1)Regarding the Alabama/georgia thing. I sent e-mail back to the person
who sent it to ME, but didn't post puiblicly.

Ack. Server burped. Anyways, continued here:
1) Alabama/georgia: I do not excuse Utah's behavior, Mrs. Ballard. I
think laughing at a gymnast that falls a more than a bit nasty. But
I was simply pointing out that I find the behavior between the two
schools simply reprehensible. The coaches (for the most part) are
behaving, but the gymnasts (and the fans) now see this as a war. This
is supposed to be a sport, fun, teamwork, etc. I'd like to see the two
teams shake hands and make up, but I guess that one is gonna only happen
in my dreams..
2)Anyone have any news on the progress of Michelle Campi? The last I heard
was that she was undergoing further surgery in December, but still hoped
to make a comeback. And...since we are on Michelle, any word on Silvia
Mitova? She was always one of my fvorites, too.
3) Anyone got a list of who is competing for the Olympic Festival?
4) Does anyone here subscribe to International Gymnast asnd would be
willing to photocopy and send me a copy of the article on the 1995 NCAA's
for women? Thanks

Okay, that's all. Sorry for the double post.

I last heard from Michelle in late May. She said after her surgery it was
evident that it would be "too risky for her condition" to return to
international competition, so she's implying that she has quit international
gymnastics. She is, however, looking to join a college so she may compete
at college level. She also says she's going to move to Florida.

Subject: A chat with Natalia Ilienko

While my friend Kasha and I were at the British Womens National Championships
today (1st July) we bumped into Natalia Ilienko the 1981 World floor
champion. Natalia knows Kasha since they sometimes write to each other. So
the three of us began chatting. Natalia herself is looking very well, she
speaks perfect English and she's been coaching in England at the Heathrow
gymnastics club. We asked her if she had heard from some of her team mates.
She told us a few things:

Maria Filatova is still living in Ireland but she said Maria is looking to
move to USA but at the moment she doesn't have enough money.

Natalia last met Natalia Yurchenko in Switzerland, she was still doing some
sort of exhibition there last she heard.

Nelli Kim once came to England and she stayed with Natalia when she's here.
Nelli was thinking of moving to England.

Olga Bicherova is of course still in France with hubby Valentin Mogilny.

That's about all she knows. We chatted for about ten minutes. Before we left,
Natalia and Kasha were talking of meeting up some time so Kasha can go see
her house near London. Meanwhile I also got a nice autograph from her, and
taken a few pictures of her and Kasha together.

Here's some more news that Kasha told me (not from Ilienko):

Oksana Omelianchik has returned to Belgium doing various things. Oksana's
home back in Belarus (I think... one of the ex-Soviet state anyway) is still
very cramped for space, seven people in her family having to live in a tiny
three bedroom flat.

>Oksana's home back in Belarus (I think... one of the ex-Soviet state anyway)


Actually Omelianchik is from Kiev, Ukraine. She has a daughter, Nastya, that
last I heard (early '94) was living with Oksana's in-laws in Moscow.

Oksana did live and work in the US for a while and was briefly married to a
gymnastics coach here. Her current husband, Dmitri, is not a gymnast but is
involved in the military (I think he teaches at a military institute). Oksana
has been in Belgium working and coaching off and on for at least 2 years.

FYI, Oksana was the co-World Champion (with Elena Shushunova) in '85. She
pinoneered back to back tumbling passes and was the alternate for the '88
Olympic Team.

Oksana's former personal coach, Tatiana Perskaya, is now a coach at Capital
Gymnastics in Virigina. She coaches '95 Jr. American Classic Champion Gail
Kauchura among others. Gail recently took part in her first major Int'l meet
at the USA vs UKR in San Jose. Along with Tatiana is the former Soviet
choregrapher that put together Omelianchik's well known routine among many
others (some of Boginskaya's early stuff, Sazonenkova's bird like set, etc.).
