Irina Alexeeva?

Anybody know that latest on this girl? I know she had said she'd like to compete for Russia but at this point, doesn't she need to make a run either in the US or Russia?

Mihaela Renciu?

I was browsing Youtube for videos of old Romanian gymnasts and discovered this video. Is this one of the Renciu twins mislabled or is it someone else?

If it's not either of the twins, does anyone know anything about her?

If you could have dinner with any gymnast, past or present, who would it be and what would you want to talk about or ask them?

a surprise from the past

The other day I was researching in old newspaper microfilms and found, in a paper dated Oktober 26, 1956, a photograph of a gymnast of the time. The caption read, "SWEDISH STAND--Doris Hedberg shows one how to keep limber as she stands on her hands during a Stockholm workout. She is a member of Sweden's Olympic gymnast squad." Ms. Hedberg is shown doing a stag handstand, and the interesting thing is that she is wearing a sleeveless leotard. I was wondering if this was the style then? When I first started paying attention to gymnastics, the leotards went to the wrist. In GYMNAST Magazine once I saw a photo of Tourischeva, and her sleeves were only halfway down her upper arms. Three-quarter length sleeves are nice, but does anyone know if sleeveless was once commonplace?
