(Non-) Olympic Medal Change after 10 Years!

(Non-) Olympic Medal Change after 10 Years!

(Non-) Olympic Medal Change!

The International Olympic Committee stripped China of its 2000 Olympic Games women’s team bronze medal because one of its athletes did not meet the age requirement. The IOC said it will award the team bronze medal to the United States, which originally finished fourth in the team competition.
The decision, made during the IOC’s Executive Board meetings in Dubai, UAE, was based on the recommendation of the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG). 
After conducting an internal investigation, (> GYMmedia NEWS, 2010, March 01)  the FIG nullified the results of Chinese gymnast Dong Fangxiao at the 2000 Olympic Games in February 2010....

FIG nullified 2000 medal ranking

It was determined that Dong was 14 years of age in 2000, which violated the rule that gymnasts must be at least 16 years old to compete in the Olympic Games.
The FIG recommended that the IOC strip China of the team bronze medal.
The members of the 2000 U.S. Women’s Olympic Gymnastics Team are:
Amy Chow, Jamie Dantzscher, Dominique Dawes, Kristin Maloney, Elise Ray and Tasha Schwikert, along with Morgan White, who was named to the team but was injured prior to the Games.  Alyssa Beckerman was the alternate.
Bela Karolyi was the national team coordinator, with Kelli Hill as head coach and Steve Rybacki as assistant coach.

First reaction of US Gymnastics Federation:
“USA Gymnastics is grateful that the FIG and IOC took the time to thoroughly review and address this issue that was first raised at the Beijing Olympics,” said Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics. “Every athlete dreams about winning an Olympic medal. In 2000, our athletes and coaches worked tirelessly leading up to the Olympics and this recognition will certainly have great meaning."

A big Olympian died: Olympism and Gymnastics in mourning!

Juan Antonio Marquis de SAMARANCH
*1920, July 17 - + 2010, Apr 21

 *fig--: President of the International Olympic Committee from 1980 to 2001 and Honorary FIG Member in 1983, Juan Antonio Marquis de SAMARANCH died today in Barcelona (ESP) in the presence of his family. He would have been 90 on July 17th of this year.

His mark on the Olympic Movement is indelible; he pushed reforms through IOC management and strengthened its financial standing through a pragmatic approach to the sale of television rights and commercial partner contracts.
Juan Antonio Samaranch maintained an intimate relationship with the international gymnastics community.
In 1983, former FIG President Yuri Titov of Russia named him an Honorary Member.


* Obituary of F.I.G ...;
In 2006, incumbent President Prof. Bruno Grandi (ITA) made Samaranch the guest of honour at the festivities marking the 125th anniversary of the founding of the FIG in Geneva (SUI).

Juan Antonio Samaranch and the four-times Spanish European Champion of 1957, Joaquin BLUME

A shrewd politician, gymnastics is indebted to Samaranch for the extensive audience and popularity it enjoys today.
“Juan Antonio Samaranch had a decisive influence on the development of the FIG.
We are ever grateful,” declared President Grandi, markedly affected by Samaranch’s passing.

On behalf of its gymnasts and the entire international community,...
...  the Authorities of the International Gymnastics Federation address their sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones.
