6 USA GYMNASTICS NOVEMBER • DECEMBER 2011

During the past couple of months it has been so rewarding to watch our athletes compete on the international stage. At both the artistic and rhythmic world championships, USA Gymnastics athletes have been delivering outstanding performances.

At the 2011 Rhythmic World Championships in Montpellier, France, the Americans finished 16th in the team competition and 20th in the group

event. Julie Zetlin was the highest-ranking all-around finisher from both North, Central and South America, so we are hopeful the USA will earn a continental spot in the 2012 Olympic Games. However, the official announcement from the FIG won’t be made until January.

In Tokyo, the men and women’s teams showed their world-class potential as we head into the Olympic year.

The women’s team stood strong through the entire competition after losing Alicia Sacramone to an injury. Incredibly, all five of our USA gymnasts finished in the top 12 in the all-around during qualifications. Their gold medal team performance for just the third time in history (2003, 2007, 2011) was yet another indication of the strength of our women’s program and the incredible dedication of the athletes and coaches. Every one of these young women showed great poise and confidence throughout the week and proved that the USA team spirit is alive and well.

On the men’s side, the USA team returned to the medal podium earning the bronze, and sent a message that the USA will be a threat for a team gold medal in London. After qualifying, the U.S. men were second behind Japan, and three Americans were in the top five in the all-around. During team finals, the USA challenged Japan for the silver medal, missing second place by a mere 0.010.

Jordyn Wieber and Aly Raisman were impressive in the all-around, as Jordyn became the sixth U.S. woman to claim the title of World Champion, along with Kim Zmeskal, Shannon Miller, Chellsie Memmel, Shawn Johnson and Bridget Sloan. Raisman finished fourth in the all-around.

You could not wipe the smile off the face of John Orozco, who finished fifth in his first World Championships all-around appearance. Danell Leyva had a tough day at the office but demonstrated his tenacity by coming back to take gold on parallel bars two days later. Danell is the first U.S. man to win a World individual event title since 2003, joining Bart Conner (1979) and Sean Townsend (2001) as the only Americans to win the parallel bars title at Worlds.

The women’s success also continued in event finals, with McKayla Maroney’s impressive and consistent vaults that led her to the gold medal in that event. McKayla became the third consecutive American to win this event at Worlds, following Kayla Williams in 2009, and Alicia in 2010. Jordyn and Aly won bronze on the beam and floor, respectively.

All in all, it has been a good couple of months for Team USA at the World Championships with more to come. As this issue goes to print, the Pan Am Games are taking place in Guadalajara, Mexico, and the Trampoline and Tumbling World Championships are just around the corner in Birmingham, England.

Have a great holiday season and good luck in your training for the 2012 season.

See you in the gym,

Steve Penny,President & CEO

WOMEN'S COMPETITIONThe U.S. women began the competition by winning the team gold medal, just the USA’s third team gold in history (2003, 2007). The squad banded together after team captain Sacramone withdrew due to injury and won the team title with a 179.411, four points ahead of second place Russia (175.329). The USA has won a women’s team medal in every World Championships that has had a team competition since 2001: 2001, bronze; 2003, gold; 2006, silver; 2007, gold and 2010, silver. Other World team medals were won in 1991, silver; 1994, silver and 1995, bronze. Two days later, the women’s all-around gold medal battle went down to the last routine, and Wieber emerged with the title after bouncing back from an error on the uneven bars to defeat Russia’s Victoria Komova. She is just the sixth U.S. woman to claim the prestigious title, joining Kim Zmeskal (1991), Shannon Miller (1993-94), Chellsie Memmel (2005), Shawn Johnson (2007) and Bridget Sloan (2009). Raisman also persevered after a bars mistake to finish fourth. Maroney vaulted to the event’s gold medal via her Amanar and Yurchenko half-on, front layout half off. She is the third straight U.S. woman to win the vault title – Kayla Williams in 2009 and Sacramone in 2010. On the balance beam, Wieber claimed the event’s bronze medal, and Raisman was fourth. Raisman earned the floor exercise bronze medal, with Wieber in sixth. On the uneven bars, both Wieber and Douglas competed in the finals, finishing fourth and fifth, respectively.

MEN'S COMPETITIONFor the first time since 2003, the U.S. men were on the World Championships team medal podium. The team challenged Japan for the silver medal, missing silver by a mere 0.010. China won the team title. The USA’s previous team medals came in 1979 (bronze), 2001 (silver), and 2003 (silver).

Leyva won the parallel bars gold medal, becoming the first U.S. man to win a World individual event title since 2003 and the first on the parallel bars since Sean Townsend in 2001. His well-executed routine earned at 15.633, a 10th of a point ahead of the silver medalists who tied at 15.533.

In the men’s all-around, Orozco continued to push to finish fifth after struggling on the first few events. Leyva had an unfortunate mishap on the high bar and was unable to complete his last

event, finishing 24th. Kohei Uchimura won his third straight title. In the other individual event finals, Steven Legendre of Port Jefferson, N.Y./Team Hilton HHonors (University of Oklahoma), finished fifth, his highest ever, in the floor exercise final, where Dalton, a last minute replacement for Romania’s Marian Dragulescu, was eighth. Horton was seventh in the still rings final, and Orozco was eighth for the horizontal bar. For complete results, stories, interviews and more, go to usagym.org/worlds.

30 USA GYMNASTICS NOVEMBER • DECEMBER 2011

To build healthy bones and keep them stress fracture free, three nutrition interventions come to mind: adequate calories, calcium/vitamin D, and adequate protein.

- ADEQUATE CALORIES: This is a topic to be saved for another segment, but if your body is constantly deprived of enough calories, you’re likely not getting enough nutrients (protein, vitamins, minerals) to ensure health. You’re also unable to produce the amount of hormones needed for bone production and formation. You’re probably getting close to your caloric needs if you’re eating three meals and one to three snacks a day.

- CALCIUM/VITAMIN D: Calcium and vitamin D are the key components to strong bones. They are found primarily in dairy products but are also found in salmon and spinach. Vitamin D helps with the absorption of calcium and is actually absorbed primarily through the sun. Dietary sources of calcium and vitamin D should be consumed daily to obtain the recommended daily allowance (RDA) to assure bone development. Bone growth occurs at the highest rate in adolescents. The peak absorption rate occurs in the adolescent years, around ages 9–18. At this vital time, bones develop for the rest of your life, so “eat up,” “drink up,” or “supplement up.” In terms of supplements, obtaining the nutrients directly from the food source is always recommended, but if you’re not a dairy eater I highly recommend

Female gymnasts commonly have three classic health conditions that when lumped together are referred to as the Female Athlete Triad. The

three linking components are low energy availability/disordered eating, menstrual disturbances/amenorrhea, and low bone loss/stress fractures. Basically, not eating enough calories causes a lack of estrogen product, causing abnormal menstrual functions and a decrease in bone health causing stress fractures (diagram below). Although inadequate calorie consumption is the main root of both causes (menstrual disturbances and stress fractures/bone loss), I want to focus primarily on the role of bone health in gymnasts.

supplementing. Below are the RDA guidelines for calcium and Vitamin D.

• Calcium: 4 –8 years = 1,000mg, 9 –18 years = 1,300mg, 19 –50 years = 1,000mg

• Vitamin D: 600iu (highly debated that the RDA is set too low, but it’s here for now)

- PROTEIN INTAKE: Protein is a building block in producing muscle and bone, two crucial components to this story. The more muscle developed around the bone and joints, the less impact and force absorbed, which will reduce chances of stress fractures. Protein, along with calcium and vitamin D, is also a vital building block in producing bone structure and preventing osteoporosis or stress fractures. Many younger gymnasts neglect weight training (which strengthens bones and builds muscle) and fail to meet adequate protein intake. These two components directly correlate to injuries, especially stress fractures. Yet, once a stress fracture has occurred, assure that your athlete is consuming enough protein to allow for quick and efficient recovery. Adding an extra portion (3oz) of protein can be the best approach, but if appetite is low, add a protein shake or smoothie (~15–20g of protein).

If you’re consuming adequate calories, protein and the DRVs of calcium and vitamin D, don’t stress over a stress fracture or bone health.

Since 2001, gymnastics clubs across the country have raised more than $1.4 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. The clubs have until Nov. 9 to raise and submit their funds for this year. Thank you to all of you who participated in National Gymnastics Day to help us regain the handstand world record title and make this day such a success.
