German Olympic Support in El Salvadore

Gymnastic expert BESSI by order of 'DOSB'

Within a help project with financial resources of the Foreign Office of Germany the German Olympic Committee (DOSB) sent the internationally renowned instructor Dr. Flavio Bessi for two weeks in order to collaborate with the Federation of Gymnastics of El Salvador to improve the structures of the high performance sport.
The work plan consisted of three fundamental parts:
The first aspect was the total analysis of the structures with the subsequent consultation.
During the stay of the German expert, Flavio Bessi, holding a doctorate degree in sports and exercises sience at the "Albert-Ludwigs-Universität" Freiburg (GER), ...


... had the opportunity to speak with many coaches, administrative staff, parents and gymnasts. He observed processes and he drew conclusions as well.
This allowed to write a document with a quite complete diagnosis of the situation and to establish with some actors of the system of high performance agreed goals for the future.

The second important aspect was the qualification of coaches in subjects that normally are not object of courses. Not only normal topics like Biomechanics and Training Theory were taught but also topics regarding the so called “soft skills”:
Different aspects from the current communication theories were treated and practical exercises were done in order to use the learned techniques for a more effective communication.
The third aspect was the almost historical visit to all the gyms and centres of El Salvador.
The visited coaches and people in charge commented that it practically was the first time that such a visitor came to see, which possibilities of integration exist so that the existing human resources of the country can be used coordinated for a national goal. The visited gyms were Gymar, San Miguel, Sonsonate, Tembag, Healthy Life, Villa Centroamericana, Zacamil and the Sport Centre of the Federation.

The president of the Olympic Committee of EL Salvador, Eduardo Palomo, (photo above, right) personally thanked Dr. Bessi during the press conference for his invaluable help.
The German National Olympic Committee (DOSB) will continue supporting this process of renovation and improvement the next year when Dr. Bessi will return to El Salvador.

David Sender plans new vault but also retirement

David Sender (USA)

David Sender (USA), who won the 2008 men’s all-around title last year in Houston but did not make the Olympic team after suffering a freak ankle injury during Olympic trials, said Tuesday he will retire after the US National Championships, which will held August 12 - 15 in Dallas, Texas.
Sender, 23, from Arlington Heights, Ill., is entering veterinary school at Illinois and said he would have to miss too much class to continue competing, even if he is selected for the world championships in London. ...
Sender plans to compete a Yurchenko double pike vault, one of the toughest in the world, that conceivably could merit a spot on the world team if he hits it.
Inside Gymnastics Magazine reported that Sender practiced the vault during the first men's training session at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Monday night, and that he plans to use it in competition.
“I have to go out one way or another,” he said. “Either it’s going to go really well, and that will be great, or I’ll land on my face on the vault. It doesn’t matter what happens. It’s all just for fun.”

BEIJING 2008 - One Year after: First National Sports Day

LIU Peng (CHN)
Sports Minister

China marked the first Anniversary of the 2008 Beijing Olympics on Saturday with its first national sports day that saw up to 34,000 people gather for the world's largest martial arts exercise.
"We have established August 8 as National Fitness Day to fully embody... the government's loving concern for the life and prosperity of the people," Chinese Sports Minister LIU Peng said in an address outside the iconic Bird's Nest national stadium.
"This is a vivid reflection of the legacy that the Beijing Olympics has left for the people, the society and our system."
Liu's remarks came as nearly 34,000 people dressed in white silk performed "taiqiquan," or martial arts shadow boxing, in the drizzling rain outside the stadium early Saturday morning.
Ranging in age from seven to 65, the shadow boxers hope to set a Guinness world record for the largest martial arts exercise, organisers said.
A year after the Beijing Olympics, reminders of the Games' physical impact are visible throughout the capital, but so are signs of the many ways in which the event could not change China.
China has a collection of state-of-the-art venues and can also point to the new Olympic subway lines that now transport millions of Beijingers to work.
But there is also the choking smog that has returned to the city, and the dissidents jailed in the past year for speaking out against a government that had promised "tremendous" human rights improvements in bidding for the Games.
"The successful hosting of the Olympic Games is the result of China's social and economic development," Cui Dalin, vice minister of the General Administration of Sports told AFP. "Without a strong nation we would not have had a successful Beijing Olympics."
Saturday night over 60,000 fans are expected to watch International Milan face rival Lazio in the first sporting event to be held in the Bird's Nest since the paralympics ended in September.
The stadium, made of a lattice of cement and steel, has largely served as a tourist attraction since the Games ended, prompting criticism that many costly Olympic venues are sitting idle and not being used for sporting events.
