Dvora Meyers has written a book that covers how the open ended code evolved, the original open ended code ideas of Hardy Fink, with a brief history of women's gymnastics particularly in the USA. She interviewed several people including Nadia Comaneci and Nelli Kim.
I found the book very impressive. Easy to read and a balanced examination of the scoring system.
I would have liked an introduction on the history of the maximum score and the evolution of gymnastics scoring pre-1976 but that's probably me just being greedy. I would also have liked some photographs but that would have added to the publishing costs so i can understand why there are none. There are a few minor errors such as saying Davydova is 3 months younger than Comaneci whereas she is 3 months older but such minor errors don't take away from the quality of the writing.
Highly recommended. 9.9.
