This Valentine's Day, the UNC gymnastics team had a not-so-hot date with the balance beam. Echoing their struggles from a meet at William & Mary, the Tar Heels hit a rough patch on the balance beam and ultimately fell to Maryland in their first home meet in two years. "We just weren't as solid on beam as we have been at practice," coach Derek Galvin said. Despite three falls on the beam, the team lost by less than one point and placed in the top spot of each event. Senior Kara Wright placed first on vault with a score of 9.925 and tied with Elizabeth Durkac for first on uneven bars with a score of 9.825. Senior Christine Nguyen placed first on the balance beam and floor exercise with scores of 9.825 and 9.9, respectively. Galvin was pleased by the Tar Heels' showing in the floor exercise. "We broke 49 (points) as a team," he said. "Any time you do that, it's a very good thing." After starting the competition with a less-than-perfect score on vault, Nguyen had a strong performance and took the top All-Around spot. Nguyen's strong showing included a new tumbling pass in her floor routine. "Christine did her double Arabian on floor," Galvin said. "She and Kara just added that to their routines this week. "I know Christine was a little nervous, but she did a great floor routine." Freshman Michelle Ikoma, who competed on the vault and floor against William & Mary on Jan. 24, joined the team's lineup on balance beam. But it was the floor exercise she was most excited about. "Floor was awesome," she said. "You felt the energy of the crowd and your teammates. I'm normally really tired before my last pass, but I just knew that I could do it." Wright said she was happy about the team's return to Carmichael Arena this year. "It's awesome competing at home again and having the support of your home crowd," she said. Galvin said the crowd in the Carmichael Arena — more than 2,000 were in attendance — was probably the largest he had seen of any home meet. This year, the team partnered with UNC's Get REAL & HEEL, a program that raises awareness for breast cancer and helps survivors. The crowd wore pink in honor of the partnership, and a cancer awareness fair was held before the meet. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.

| St. Louis Sports Commission bids for NCAA tournaments (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) Posted: 14 Feb 2010 09:41 PM PST Message from fivefilters.org: If you can, please donate to the full-text RSS service so we can continue developing it. The St. Louis Sports Commission has submitted bids to host the 2013 and 2014 NCAA Frozen Four and NCAA wrestling championships. The events would be held at Scottrade Center, where they have been held in the past. Because both could be scheduled for April, causing potential for conflicts with the Blues, it's unlikely St. Louis would get both events in any single year. "We're open to any combination of events," said Chris Roseman, the sports commission's vice president of events. "The Blues put their civic hat on and really did a lot of research with the NHL to help us make the bids work." The sports commission submitted the wrestling bids with its longtime partner, the University of Missouri. The pair hosted the event in 2000, '04, '05, '08 and '09 and has won the bid for the 2012 event. Scottrade was also the site of the 2007 Frozen Four. The sports commission made its bid to host in 2013 and/or 2014 with the Central Collegiate Hockey Association as a partner. Roseman said that finalists for the hockey and wrestling events would be notified in April and that hosts would be announced in June or July. The sports commission submitted the proposals just weeks after bidding on the 2012 U.S. Gymnastics Championships, which would be held at Chaifetz Arena. The nationals are the first step in the process of selecting the U.S. team for the London Olympics. "Chaifetz is an ideal venue," Roseman said, adding that the arena would be configured to seat 8,600. "The other big selling point about Chaifetz is that they have a training gym attached. The building has everything they want." Roseman said USA Gymnastics could announce the host in May. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.
