27. Under The Covers: Great Women In Sports By Johnson Oksana trained by day with elite Ukrainian skaters. women athletes, and accomplishmentsof women in general reading for anyone who likes biographies, and this http://www.silcom.com/~manatee/johnson_great.html

GREAT WOMEN IN SPORTS by Anne Janette Johnson Visible Ink May 1996; $17.95 softcover 552 pages; ISBN 0-7876-0873-4 Very Highly Recommended GREAT WOMEN IN SPORTS came out in 1996 before the Summer Olympics. This book has a great selection of great women athletes, some of whom added to their achievements in the '96 Summer Olympics and the one thing lacking in the book was that these achievements were not covered. I wish the book had come out after the Olympics so this information could have been included and I could have read more about great women athletes profiled in the book, such as: gold medal winning gymnasts: Amy Chow, Dominique Dawes, Shannon Miller and Dominique Moceanu, softball gold medalist Lisa Fernandez, swimming gold medalists Amy Van Dyken and Angel Martino, track Olympic medalists, Gwen Torrence and Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and soccer gold medalist Mia Hamm, among the many Olympians profiled. The contents are easy to read, and it is easy to pick and choose the athlete you might want to go back and read about. The book lists each athlete in alphabetical order, thus sports of many kinds are mixed together. The contents also has a section called "Who Plays What", and if you want to read about a certain sport, for example, gymnastics, you will see all the athletes profiled together, and the pages they can be found, for example, under gymnastics: Amy Chow-page 79, Nadia Comaneci-page 95, Dominuqie Dawes-page 109, etc. in alphabetical order ending with Kim Zmeskal-page 539. The introduction by the author starts out, "Hard work and high ambition. Those are the two driving characteristics of the great women athletes in this book." I found this to be true as I read about the women athletes.

The Finale Amie Allnutt Amie Allnutt, a member of Redwood Artistic Club in Redwood City, is a Regional competitor in Sophomore Pairs with partner, Andy Minieri. Amie also competes freestyle events. A student at Del Mar High School in San Jose, Amie began skating only seven years ago when her mother started her in "star" (beginner) classes. She enjoys skating for the space and freedom she feels when she skates and for the opportunity it gives her to keep in shape while having fun. When not skating, Amie can be found hanging out with friends or participating in school activities. Logan Boggs Antoine Brooks Antoine Brooks, a coach at Redwood Artistic Club in Redwood City, has been skating for "years," although, he declines to say just how many. During his competitive career, he made finals at Regionals and at Gold Skate Classics with his splashy jumping style. In addition to Artistic skating, Antoine played professional roller hockey with the Sacramento River Rats, and still plays for enjoyment and coaches. He also has started coaching Artistic skaters at Santa Clara. He is drawn to the concentration skating requires and to the challenge. He enjoys pushing the limits. When not on skates, Antoine can be found on a softball field, playing basketball or snowboarding - if it's a sport, he's probably into it.

Encyclopedia: Speed Skating Short Track It's been called the demolition derby of the Olympics. In short-track speed skating, competitors squeeze into a tight oval track measuring just 364 ft (111 m) around. At full speed, they jockey for position and often bump one another. Spills are frequent and sometimes nasty. Though short-track speed skating dates back to the late 1800s, the sport didn't become an officially recognized Olympic event until the 1992 Albertville Games The competition consisted of four events in 1992, but has been expanded to eight in 2002:

New Coach Consultants! The National Coach Consultant program has been operating since 1999 and it has proven to be very successful. Petra Burka, Marijane Stong, Brian Orser and Barbara Underhill continue to be instrumental in the success of the National Coach Consultant program. In response to the success of the National Coach Consultant program, the program has been expanded and a new level of position has been added to provide more opportunities for skaters and coaches. Effective September 1, 2001, seven Coach Consultants have been added to the program on an independent contractor basis. The new Coach Consultants are: Julie Brault Lyne Forget Lyndon Johnston Gennady Kaskov Norm Proft Michael Slipchuk Igor Tchiniaev Click here for brief biographies The Coach Consultants will sit underneath the National Coach Consultants and will report to the Coach Administration and Development Director. The Coach Consultants will follow the philosophical direction set within the program by the National Coach Consultants and Coaching Department. The work of these Coach Consultants is different in scope from that of the National Coach Consultants. The role of the new Coach Consultants is to primarily deliver Section Youth Camps and a new program of Specialty Seminars for skaters and coaches. The Coach Consultant may also agree to participate in other activities from time to time as determined by the Coach Administration and Development Director. Due to the limited scope of the Coach Consultant's role, these individuals will maintain their private coaching practice.

Graphic by YIKES,Inc. Skaters and autobiographies Homophobia affects all male skaters, regardless of their personal sexual orientation. Many assume that all male skaters are gay; even when individual male skaters are known to be straight, they are frequently the target of anti-gay slurs just for being in the sport. When it comes to autobiography or authorized biography, male skaters have taken a number of approaches to this phenomenon. In a few cases, the silence has spoken loudly. Of the male skater autobiographies Rainbow Ice is aware of, only one, Icebreaker: the Autobiography of Rudy Galindo , with Eric Marcus, acknowledges the subject as gay. Another, Toller Cranston's Zero Tollerance , with Martha Lowder Kimball, describes a same-sex rendezvous, although Cranston does not identify as gay or bisexual. Of the other male skater autobiographies, there are a few which employ a curious "don't ask, don't tell" strategy. It cannot be easy to decide to collaborate with a writer on the story of one's life while omitting any mention of a love life whatsoever, but this is the choice made by Brian Orser in his 1988 book A Skater's Life with Steve Milton, and by the 1998 authorized biography

Women in Sports Babe Didrikson Zaharias: All-Around Athlete Jane Sutcliffe Illustrated by Jeni Reeves ISBN: 1-57505-421-3 Babe Didrikson Zaharias: Driven to Win Nancy Wakeman ISBN: 0-8225-4917-4 Babe Didrikson Zaharias: The Making of a Champion Russell Freedman It's not Babe Ruth, but Babe Didrikson Zahariasthe greatest woman athlete of all time. Few men, if any, have ever bested her feats in sports from track and field to golf. Babe broke barriers for women. Contrary to Aver Brundage's belief that women had no place in sports, Babe proved that women could sweat, succeed, set new records and still enjoy dancing at night. Freedman presents Babe as a complete and complex person. Terrific photos show her in action. She was a one-woman team! If Babe is the tops in sports, Freedman holds that same honor in the field of photobiography. His books are "must reads" for all ages. 1999, Clarion, Ages 10 up, $18.00. Reviewer: Jan Lieberman ISBN: 0-3956-3367-2 The Best of the Best in Gymnastics Rachel Rutledge Women gymnasts have always possessed precision, power and grace. But it was not until 1972 that a young Soviet athlete, Olga Korbut stepped into the Olympic spotlight and changed the face of the sport forever. Until Korbut, the stars of women's gymnastics were mature, conservative, technically sound veterans in the twenties or early thirties. Today's gymnasts are young risk-takers with a keen competitive spirit and a passion for perfection. This nonfiction book profiles eight of the world's best female gymnastsSimona Amanar, Vanessa Atler, Dominique Dawes, Ling Jie, Svetlana Khorkina, Kristen Maloney, Shannon Miller and Dominique Moceanu. Chapters giving a brief overview of the sport are also included. This is a great reference book for school or library, and or a gift book for the budding gymnast! It is part of the "Women of Sports" series. 1999, Millbrook Press, Ages 8 to 12, $22.90 and 6.95. Reviewer: Dianne Ochiltree
