Anna Pavlova

[edit]

Anna Pavlova points to: "a famous ballet dancer of the early 20th century." and not the current gymnast. I'm not sure how to disambiguate the link though... MDCore 07:55, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Done. Heh -- if not fixed, we would be looking at the oldest participating gymnast/dancer in Olympic history! And probably a Danse Macabre as well. :-) The Pavlova I saw on TV the other day looked very much alive, fortunately. --Wernher 02:50, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Paul Hamm

[edit]

I keep hearing about Paul Hamm being the first American man to win the gymnastics all around, but according to the IOC's website, that honor goes to Julius Lenhart, gold medal winner of the all-around at the 1904 St. Louis games. Is this a massive mistake by the news media or am I missing something? Rascalb 06:57, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)

You are correct. I have searched the IOC website, Encyclopaedia Britannica's World Almanac, and several other websites, and Julius Lenhart IS listed as having won the gold medal at the 1904 St. Louis games in the Gymnastics-Individual All-Around Men's section (some list it as Individual Combined Men's). So Paul Hamm is only the second American man to win the Individual All-Around gold in gymnastics. Correct the article, or Paul Hamm's entry if needed. --Valentino 00:04, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Icons

[edit]

I'd like to change the icons used in the results table to text to make it easier to understand and avoid any copyright problems (those icons come from the olympics home page, and we don't have permission). Comments anyone?Zeimusu | Talk 10:02, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Contraversy Section

[edit]

Looking at the Beijing 2008 gymnastic page, the editors have added a contraversy section to gymnastics page. I thought to keep things consistent, a similar article should be added here. I am including Paul Hamm's all around gold (obviously), Nemov's high bar score, Bulgaria's complain over rings, Russians's complain over women all-around. I'll end with a sentence or two on how this might influenced the FIG to come up with the new scoring system. Using english languaged sources for all of these of course. If I don't see any objections to this, I'll write the section tomorrow night. 69.204.249.221 (talk) 03:31, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
