Unlucky fellow Komrskova
It has not been the first injury for the best gymnast of the Czech Republic this year.
Shortly before the World Championships in Anaheim she had a bad landing on vault and injured her ellbow. Her arm then was in a cast for several weeks. Usually she had planned to take part in competitions again at the beginning of November when she again had bad luck...
Now she also is not able to take part in the last highlights of 2003 and walks on crutches in her hometown Zlin. However, her mother and coach Zdena Komrskova is optimistic: 'Submit the audience in Stuttgart greetings from us!' Luckily Czech Republic has one start place at the Olympic Games in Athens 2004 where Jana with more luck certainly wants to take part.

World Class at the SWISS CUP 2003
The already 28-year old 'gymnastics grandma“ Oksana Chusovitina from Uzbekistan incredibly managed at the last World Championships in Anaheim/USA to win the World Championship title on vault once again in her career. Upon her personal request she will take part in this years' SWISS CUP. Her partner during the competition will be 28-year old Ivan Ivankov from Belarus. The two of them certainly will have good chances to end up high in the ranks at the SWISS CUP 2003.

Now he finally also wants to win the SWISS CUP once where he this year will take part together with long-year World-class gymnast Victoria Karpenko. For the first time also a team from Canada will participate. However, teams from Japan and China will not be there this year.

The SWISS CUP would need a larger venue!
The SWISS CUP is getting more and more popular. This year already for the 4th time it takes place in its' original form as pair competition and the venue is sold-out already 5 weeks before the event takes place.
Advertising with posters in the area of Zurich started six weeks before the event, never before it had been started so early, but still it was useless this year. Everyone who was interested to buy tickets could only be told to try it again next year.

The question comes up if the SWISS CUP would need a larger venue. However, this can't be found in Zurich and the event then would have to move to Basel.
The stadium venue there with about 10,000 seats would be a bit too large. But long-time gymnastics fans would certainly be pleased to see an event in this venuue again, where already during the sixties sold-out gymnastics competitions took place. The organisers of the SWISS CUP think about the future of the event as well as about the future of elite gymnastics in Switzerland.
