REPORT FROM THE PUBLISHER

Glenn Sundby and Dr. Joseph Gohler outside the Sporthall, site of the 1972 Olympic Gymnastic Competition.

OLYMPIC REPORT: W ith t his first GYMNAST Ol ympic report we bring yo u scores and pho tos of the competito rs in Competition I th e Team Competi tion, Competition II the A ll-Around Competiti on and Competition III the Ind ividua l Fina ls. Our Associate Editor -Dick Criley has w ritten his firs t o n hand Olymp ic report , an overview introd uction to the Games in his VIEWpoints co lumn. For the next ed itio n of GYMNAST Dick has combined repo rts from many sources to bring you the most extensive and perhaps provoca ti ve view possible of t he 1972 O lympic Gymnast ic competit io n.

OLYMPICS & PEOPLE: The tu rnout and enthusias m was high as just about eve rybody w ho was anybody in Gym nast ics found their way to th e O lympic Gam es in M unich. O uts ide the Sporthall w here the Gymnast ic Competi tion was he ld yo u cou ld f ind Gymn asti c fans and fr iends from all over th e wo rld as they ta l ked shop and bartered for ti ckets fo r every sess ion . Inside in the VIP lo unge you cou ld rub elbows w ith the top b rass of th e FI G and th e special press lounge was f i lled w ith more then journali sts. Speak ing of fr iends, I would li ke to give our specia l than ks to Dr. Joseph Gohler(Ed ito r of the Olympish Turnkunst) and his fr iends in the Germa n Organizing Comm ittee w ho were especially helpful in p roviding us Press accomidat io ns in the Sporthall. A lt ho ugh I had offi cia l Press Credenti als from th e USA Olympic Press offi ce(especial ly fo r Gymnast ics) along wi th living quarters in the Press Cente r. . . gettin g into Gymnastics was somethin g else. Because of th e popularity o f Gymnastics, Press t icke ts we re rationed to the press delegati on of each country .and fro m w hat I could lea rn the USA only got one press ticket per session (and I neve r saw it). But than ks to Dr. Gohler and hi s f ri ends, Dick and I we re well take n ca re of.

OLYMPIC PHOTOS: As fo r a photo press pass fo r the f loo r. . . that was imposs ib le , even Don Wilkenson(who took the many fin e photos of Gymnastics at the M ex ico Olymp ics and the World Games in Yugoslavia we publ ished in o ur MG & Mile G re po rts) w ho had an accred ited p hoto press pass to shoot p ictu res fo r Swimming World, Track & Field News and GYMNAST could no t get on th e fl oo r to photograph Gymnasti cs . Do n d id however take a lo t o f pho tos from the stands and th e doorways. He took th em, printed them, and sent th em to the GYMNAST . .. but they neve r arri ved at our off ice. We wa ited and waited fo r th em to arrive delay ing thi s edi t ion ove r two weeks to include Don 's photos, but no photos: After time and several lo ng distance phone ca ll s we lea rned the reg istered photos were in a mailbag lost along the way(who knows maybe it was h ijacked) . To prevent fu rth er de lay we went thro ugh our own photos taken fro m the stands along wi th seve ral sent to us by George Win te rs fro m Flo r ida to get th is ed it ion to press. So most al l of the photos(cove r, centerfo ld and sequences) used fo r this fi rst O lymp ic repor t we re taken by your truly. But be not d ismayed Don is makin g up anoth er se t o f h is pho tos and has p ro mised th em in pl enty o f t ime fo r our next Olym pic Report. We know you look fOf<wa rd(as we do) to our next editi on of GYMNAST w ith pho tos by Don Wilk~nson and on th e spo t repo rts edited by Dick Criley. Space permitting we may add a few thou~hts and obse rva ti o ns of o ur own conce rnin g th e 1972 Olympic Games in Munich .

Scenes from Big Surf Open

Catalina Camp gymnasts and staff pose for photo wearing their CAMP GYMNAST "T" shirts

ON THE BEAM by Barbara Thatcher

Apparently not everyone could make it to Munich this summer, which is just as well, we needed some one to hold down the fort (or rather gymnastic mats) at home. And while Olga Korbut was busy making his~ory, other gymnasts were at home busy having fun. At least that sounds like the case at the Annual Big Surf Open and Invitational, held in Arizona.

Ten year old Jeri Cameron was the star of the "10 and under division", as she captured the All-Around title and first place medals for beam, bars and floor. But the Girl. who "virtually walked away with the meet" proved to be Sharon Akujama, w ho won the AII­Around in both the Open and Invitational "16 and over divisions", as well as floor exercise and vau lting.

:::

A little closer to home (22 miles across the sea) to be exact on beautiful Catalina Isla nd , the supposedly co-ed SS Camp Gymnast was held. Imaginespending 'an e ntire week on an isl and with 68 gymnastics g irls (on ly 4 boys showed up). It sounds like the ca mpers had fun , swimming, boating, hikin g, but the staff ce rta inly deserves a medal for endurance.

* Th e entry b lank read ~' Help Wanted

Gymnasts" and 'so the Annual Chicago Beach Gymnastic Festival (Notice how a ll of these events are an nual) was he ld this summer "On The Beach ... ln Th e Sun In Chicago" (I didn 't know there were beaches in Chicago,) with gym nasts male and female of all ages competing in swim suits and being judged for most original, most difficult, most comical and I quote for "anything but form (wh .. needs it)"

Workouts at SS Camp Gymnast

Page 7: Gymnast Magazine - October 1972

Farther north , Montana, the second annual Flathead Gym Camp was held. The name was nothing (I think) to do with the organizers of the camp, but appropriate since the camp sitejs on the banks of Flathead Lake. Anyway we hear the response was tremendous.

One of the instructors for that camp, by the way, Dan Millman remember him, Stanford coach , National champ, former Cal star, has accepted a position at Oberlin College. California's loss well definitely be a ga in for Ohio. Good luck Dan.

* Speaking of coaches we recently heard from

readers in New Jersey about a testimonial dinner for Marvin (Spike) Speidel, who for 25 years has been the coach of the Elizabeth Turners. The dinner was given by Spike's

. former gymnasts and anyone who could even think of being a spotter for 25 years certainly deserves a dinner. He will not be leaving the world or gymnastics however since he has accepted a position at a high school instructing boys gymnastics, sounds like the same song second verse .

We extend a warm welcome to Thomas Potter, coach at Tabor Academy in Massachusetts, who recently started a gym team and is eager to find other new teams in the area to compete against.

* One of the top teams on the West Coast, The

Fresno Gymnastics Club, will also have a new head coach this year. Jeff Wiles will succeed Wanda Obradovich, who for many years has been one of the most active members of the gymnastics world as a coach , instructor at numerous clinics and camps" Member of the Women's National Coaching Staff as well as State and regional Chairman of California. Under the direction of Mrs. Obradovich, the Fresno Club flourished and became not only successful but also produced many National competitors among them Linda Hamby and Barbara Fleming. We wish Mr. Wiles the best of luck with his new club, and wish Mrs. Obradovich much happiness in her future endeavors.

Under news should also be mentioned the opening of the new gym sponsored by the Tallahassee Recreation Department, and under the direction of June Gifford, coach of the Tallahassee Tumbling Tots. (Quite a mouth fulL)

Word just came in about that new gym in Tallahassee. I've heard of low ceilings, cold gyms, poor equipment, and even no mats, but I've never heard of a pole in the middle of the floor exercise area. Apparently it can ' t be moved because it holds up the building, and unfortunately the mat won't fit anywhere else. I've heard of handstands on flag poles but I really don 't think I'd like to see a round-off flip-flop into a pole. That team in Florida ought to have some interesting floor patterns this year.

* * Gymnastics is a rea l " Joy" but the Gymnastics

Unlimited Club in Albuquerque, New Mexico, probably a little more so when they won $112 and first place for thei r float " Joy is Gymnastics." At the New Mexico State Fair. I understand a lot of hard work went into the float with GU gymnasts performing on the horse, the mini tramp and bars. The money will go into a travel fund for the club.

* Now that all the charterflights have returned

from Europe, (four plane loads of gymnastic enthusiasts descended upon M.unich, home'of the Hofbrauhaus, the Glokenspiel(?), and of course the Olympics), it 's time to direct our energies to the up coming season. Among the notables attending or should I say in their own way participating in the Olympics were ' Bill Roetzheim, USA coach from the University of Illinois, Chicago Circle, Frank Cumiskey, USA Olympic judge and Technical Director of the USGF and Les Sasvary USA Olympic judge and coach at Monroe High School in Northridge, Calif. The Olympics proved to be a reel experience for nearly everyone who went, Many fine companies will be out soon with Olympic movies, we' ll keep you posted. And the whole town seems to Rave an abundance of Olga Korbut autographs, (however my boss really did meet Vera Caslavska).

Anyway as the summer sun sinks slowly in the west (sunsets are beautiful in Santa Monica) and back yard beams are pulled in out of the rain , and school becomes just a rest period between workouts, remember that next month your name could and might appear in this column. But only if I hear from you. So if anything earth shattering happens (or even something that .causes a mild tremor) LET ME

. KNOW ABOUT IT.

VIEWpoints by Dick Criley

I feel a little as Jerry Wright did (MG, Nov­Dec 1968) in starting the task of writing up the 1972 Olympic Gymnastics competition. By way of warm-up (even writers have to warm up) , I'll review the USGF Tour and some general

impressions of the Olympic scene. The November and December issues of the GYMNAST will carry the detailed reports of the competitions. We have already received a number of pointed letters and articles which will be used according to our editor's judgement.

At first, I was going to write a " Tale of Two Tours," as two separate charters brought close to 500 Americans to Munich especially for the gymnastics part of the Games. A tremendous amount of organizi ng effort went into each (for the USGF: Frank Bare, Bill Meade and Bill Co racy and for the Detroit tour by George and Georgie Vanis), but I can only report on the USGF Tour as I travelled an extra 6000 miles (RT) to join that group.

In comparison with tours organized by other sports and commercia l travel agencies, the USGF Tour at $560 (base price) was a bargain,

Passangers enjoy leisurely and long nine hour flight to Munich. Time was spent watching movies, getting acquainted, and conversing.

including as it did the plane fare and all housing accomodations. Tickets to the events and the travel while in Germany were our own responsibili ty but Bill Coracy helped all those who requested assistance in making additional plans. '

As in Mexico, tickets to the gymnastic events were difficult to obtain. Various complaints were lodged against everyone from the travel agent to the USGF to the USOC to the AAA to the IOC and the German Organizing Committee. I overheard both Canadians and Australians complain that the Yanks got all the best tickets. For gymnastics nearly all of the 10.400 seats were good - depending on the acuity of your vision - but there was some resentment at the large amount of space given the press (400) and the VIP's (375) . In addition, there were often a good numberof empty seats left after competition was underway because there was no provision made by the Germans to sell them. Oddly enough on the USGF Tour, many men wound up with t ickets to the women 's finals but not the men's and vice­versa so there was some good old fashioned wheeling and dealing going .on. Th e standing room-only section was always packed. Ticket scalping outside the Sporthalle and at the Marienplatz in town brought 2 to 4 times the value of the ticket.

Apparently, a decision was made somewhere by someone t.o lodge many Americans out in the Bavarian Alps some 50-60 miles south of Munich. No one could deny the beauty of the area and its quiet peacefulness in contrast to the dirt and n.oise of Munich. The five hours spent daily in riding trains to and from the competition site afforded much time for writing postcards, visiting with other travelers or catching up on one's sleep.

By and large the USGF'ers were satisfied with their tour. For some it was a first trip to Europe and the shock of a new enviornment especially the language, food (the Wienerwald did quite a business in chicken dinners), and money was a bit difficult to master, but the Germans were ready and eager to help the bewildered foreign tourists. In many cases their limited English was better than our meager German. Our scattered housing left no real central meeting points although the USGF did try to set some up in our different villages. However, we did meet one another on the trains and at the Sporthalle.

The transportation system in and about Munich was something else! A few hardy' souls

Page 9: Gymnast Magazine - October 1972

ventured to rent cars and found prices somewhat inflated (although 64¢/ gallon for gasoline is about the normal price) to their dismay. Those of us who rode the trains learned the hard way about German punctuality. The Germans had constructed a new subway system to the Olympic Park and were ready with extra trains to handle the crowds which issued forth at the day's end. The stations were clean, well lighted, and well marked. Iwas particularly impressed with the comparatively light auto traffic after the opening ceremonies but I knew better than to venture near the subway for quite some time afterwards.

Our tour was largely accomodated in private homes which seemed to have extra rooms designed to take in tourists. Indeed in this part of Germany the practice of housing tourists in summer and skiers in winter is common. It was a friendlier envioronment than a hotel , for instance and usually you could breakfast on hard rolls and coffee.

The best accomodations were those afforded the press (I didn ' t get to stay there but Editor Sundby extended me as much privilege as the German security system would allow), who had television, typewriters, steward service, car and driver service ( a dubious benefit as the drivers were as lost as we were)", the latest news, photo processing and 16 color TV sets which ran continuously shOWing whatever ABC, BBe, or the DOZ (German networks) were taping or taking live. At interview sessions the interpreters were superb in catching each nuance and translating into whatever languages seemed needed from Japanese and Russian through German, and into French, English or Spanish .

The accomodations afforded the athletes, coaches, and trainers were also quite adequate. (For the USA, there were 167 coaches and 447 athletes!) Both the Press and Olympic Villages were designed to be turned over to public housing after the Olympics were over. The rooms were parts of apartment suites and were built in tiers with porches, window boxes planted with petunias and geraniums, and serviced by slow elevators. Probably the least happy were the officials, some of whom had to double up in the living accomodations assigned them. All those residing in the Olympic Village were accorded a large measure of privacy through the use of security personnel from the German Army and police. Such a system was not designed to keep out the type of invader like the Palestinian terrorists but it was largely effective in keeping the general public out of the athletes' domain.

Overall , the grounds were well landscaped and in excellent condition for the opening of the Games. Luckily the weather remained dry right up until the last day, but several weeks will be required to undo the damage caused by the crush of crowds at the Games. The 20th Olympics was billed as the Olympics of the short distances with many sport halls and stadia within easy walking distances of one another. American tourists, conditioned by the automobile, found that this was the European co ncept of easy walking distances. In Europe, nearly everyone walks a lot.

One of the wonders of the Games was the daily program with the printed results of th e previous day's competition. Compiled and printed with the aid of a computer, the programs, collected in series, gave a comp le te summary of the events (except for missing results here and there in the gymnastics programs which caused us some anxious

moments as we were setting the results for this issue). All of this was not without monetary advantage to the organizers as the complete set of 6 gymnastics programs came to about $5 US, and this could be multiplied by thousands of spectators over the 21 sports.

Another amazing feat , or set of feats , was the appearance on the souvenir stands of large 4-color posters and packets of color slides of the top performers from the day before.

Some of the impressions voiced by Jerry Wright 4 years ago could again be echoed here. In some cases (i .e ., customs, subway fare collections) security was lax, although rigid in its application to admission to events or the Olympic Village, especially after the black day of September 5. While hotel prices were

inflated, other forms of public service seemed reasonable. Munich, as a city, offered an interesting variety of culture and history to those who would take advantage of it . Nearby parts of Austria and Switzerland also benefitted from the tourist overflow.

Ultimately the far-flung members of our tour reassembled at the Munich airport for the return flight. The extra luggage we all accumulated necessitated an extra, although planned, stop at Shannon, Ireland (noted for its large duty-free shop), then it was on to Chicago, a relatively quick passage through Customs (although hardly painless), and dispersal to all parts of the US to discuss authoritatively what we saw and did at the 20th Olympiade.

NEW ENGLAND REPORT David Reeves

ONE AREA'S ANSWER TO THE NINE HOUR MEET

The Middle Atlantic Gymnastic Directo rs Association (MAGDA) has reorganized it's gi rI 's meets for the 1972-73 season in an effort to limit the number of gymnasts participating in each meet and thereby eliminate the 'marathon ' meets that have occurred as a result of having 250-300 entries per meet. This reorganization of teams into leagues also promises more heated competition for gymnast's of all ability levels by having teams of one level compete against teams at a similar level of .profi cie ncy; and yet allowing competition among all levels in a number of championship meets.

MAGDA is establishing three leagues: 'A', ' B', and 'C' in order of proficiency, ' A' being the highest. A team wishing to compete in MAGDA meets (all of which are USGF sanctioned) is assigned to the A, B, orC league by virtue of the All-Around optional scores of its top five gymnasts, regardless of age. The five AA scores need not be from the same meet, but all must be either from a USGF sanctioned meet, Junior Olympics, or other competition in which only rated judges were utilized.

Each team pays a fixed entry fee to MAGDA at the beginning of the season which covers all intra-league meets. Competition consists on a series of dual meets in which each team meets eve ry other team in its league. Each team is assigned dates (between December 1 and February 28) on which they must hold their dual meets, half home and half away. Dates may be altered upon agreement of both teams.

Each dual meet includes compu lsory and opt ional routines and a limit of ten entr ies per event per team in each of the four USGF age­groups. All-Around ent ries are not required, therefor, one team COULD enter up to forty gymnasts in one age-group . Each gymnast may perform the compu lso ry that she is cu rrently working: either USGF/ DGWS Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced, or the Olympic compu lsory, if appli cab le.

In the dual meets, each team (home and visitor) supplies (pays for) two judges. Two events are run simu ltaneously with two judges per event. MAGDA supplies r ibbons for all dual meets, and conducts the championships. Teams pay no ent ry fees for dual meets, beyond the fixed team entry fee paid at the beginning of the season to MAGDA.

Team score, in the dual meets, is determined by the top five opt ionals scores in each event. Compulsory scores do not count toward team score. The dual meet season is followed by the championsh ips. .

At the end of the season, the 1st place teams in the 'C' and 'B ' leagues are advanced to the next higher league, either 'B' or 'A'. The last place teams in the 'B' and 'A' leagues are reduced to the next lower league, either 'C' or ' B' . This promises each team that as their proficiency advances, so will their level of competition.

Teams from Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey are within MAGDA's area and are eligible to enter the

.

league system by applying for membership prior to July 31st for the following season. Teams from outside the area may petition for membership, but must be approved by a majority of " league members, voting at a MAGDA executive meeting. It is assumed that leagues will be expanded as interest warrants. MAGDA expects to start this season with three leagues of six or seven teams each.

For more information, contact Do n Peters, MAGDA League Chairman, 215-269-5547, 223 William Street, Downingtown, Penn. 19335

REPORTERS NOTES:

I believe they will encounter a lot of rescheduling difficulties involving conflicts between MAGDA dual meets and loca l meets in each team's area in spite of the Dec. to Feb. limit on dual meets.

I also think it will serve the more advanced teams to a greater extent than the lesser teams si nce the advanced teams will see only the other advanced teams throughout the season and the lesser teams will not see the more advanced gymnasts unless they make the championships. Some of our team's best performances have been against top level gymnasts where they knew they didn't have a chance but were inspiredto their best efforts. The lack of this possitive experience has made me not enter our team in this league at this time.

PERSONAL NOTES In three USGF sanctioned meets in the

Philadelphia area this past season, each of which involved more than 200 female gymnasts, MORE THAN 100 entries in each of these meets were in the 12-14 age-group. Is this imbalance occurring in other parts of the country? "vleet re ferrees of the above meets have suggested or plan to suggest to the USGF that they change to a 10-12, 13-14 set up. I ag ree!

For the 1972-73 season, the Qualifying Meets for the Eastern States Team Invitational Championships (one each in N.Y., N.J., Pa ., Md., Del., and Conn.) will NOT be open to out­of-state gymnasts; I.e. N.J. residents ONLY may compete in the N.J. State Team Qualifying

" Meet, etc. This is being done to shorten these generally mammoth meets. Formerly, most teams showed up at each states QUJli r" ·;"g meet, therefore 250-300 entries per meet.

After two letters and two phone calls to the meet referee of our Regional Junior Olympics Championships, I gave up trying to get a copy of the results. What I finally wound up with was missing all but one last name and had no team names or state or district names. One additional note: the Adirondack District (NY) came to the regionals doing the advanced level compu lsories ... their district chairman was the father of one of the girls who made the reg ionals ... they ultimately scratched rather than try to fake it. ... and you think you 've got trouble ... Muriel Grossfeld showed up at the Regionals with a twelve year old girl , and in spite of agreement among all other coaches and 0fficials present to the contrary, insisted that this girl be permitted to compete. Finally, a ca ll to Tom Maloney in Florida convinced her that the age rule had gone back to the old ruling for this season.

The NJGA is considering USGF sanction for its meets. I have instigated this with some object ions from w ithin the NJGA, but I think in the years to come this would help NJ get into the main stream of gymnastics in the US, instead of being an interested observer.

NATIONAL AAU JUNIOR OLYMPIC CHAMPIONSHIPS 1972 Tom Elrod Associate Publicity Director - AAU

Region 13 (Pacific and Central California, Pacific S.W., S. Pacific) representatives swept three of four gold medals in the AAU Junior Olympic Gymnastics competition, with Region 6's Bart Conner of Morton Grove, Illinois, winning the gold medal for Intermediate Boys. California Bay Area representatives Debbie Hung (14, from Albany), Lisa Buttrill (15, from Dublin) and Tom Weeden (18, from Belmont) were convincing victors in their divisions, as each led the scori ng throughout the compulsory and optional compet itions. Both the Intermediate victors scored their division 's highest marks in all but one of the individual events, though none of the three Californians ever relinquished the all-around point leads. Weeden, a bronze medalist in 1971 Junior Olympic compet iti on, was the meet's most convincing victor, scoring 100.9 total points and beating runner-up Jon Hallberg (16, from Claymont, Delaware) by more th an seven points. Ms. Hung scored the narrowest victory, with 67.35 points to 66.60 for Penny Graves (13, from Fort Myers, Florida). The pretty Ms. Buttrill defeated anothe r Florid ian, Bobbie Harris (15, from Hialea h) and Kristin Holeman (16, from Issaquah, Washington) for her gold. Home-town favorite Lauri e Bremer thrilled her Spokane fans with the top compulsory performance in the uneven parallel bars and her third place standing after the first day of compet itio n. But the Junior Olympic torch bearer suffered a disastrous three fa lls off the balance beam in the optionals and fell to a fourth place finish. Region 14 fans were also excited with the division-leading performance of Yakima 's Jim Kelch after the Intermediate Boys compulsories were comp lete. But the second day of compet ition in Kennedy Pavillion found the 1971 bronze medalist losing his narrow .70 lead to eventua l champ Conner.

Baden, Pennsylvania's John Basalyga improved his fourth place finish of a year ago to take the bronze in the younger boys division. Region 13 entry Kurt DeVarona (13, of Santa Clara, California) also improved his 1971 finish one place to fourth overall. Both male and female gymnasts from Int. and Sr. divisions competed on all Olympic Events. The female Junior Olympic gymnasts contested four events balance beam, vaulting, uneven parallel bars and floor exercise . Their male counterparts competed in six· events floor exercise, parallel bars, pommeled horse, long horse vaulting, sti ll rin gs and the horizontal bar.

"HANDSTANDS For the Serious Perfectionist"

For perfect control of a regular handstand, try this progression ALWAYS STARTING FROM A STANDING POSITION WITH ARMS OVERHEAD: Step 1. Kick to a regular handstand until you can hold the handstand. Don't be discouraged it takes ' time to ·Jearn to hold. You will be learning to control " off balances" in two directions, an over-balance (falling into a bridge position), or an under-balance ( not kicking hard enough to get into the inverted position), therefore having to start the kick over again. Step 2. Kick to a handstand, hold, come down returning to the standing position and immediately kick again. Repeat in a series with no stops except in the handstand position to show,you have control of balance. Repeating in a series gives you the practice of knowing just how much force you need behind the kick to reach a balanced handstand. Step 3. Kick to a regular handstand with your eyes. closed until you can hold the handstand. Having the eyes closed makes it harder to find and hold the balance in the inverted position. Step 4. Kick to a handstand with thumbs close together when placing the hands on the floor. Now you will be learning to control "off balances" in four directions, over-balance, under-balance, and off-balances to either side(Good practice for preparing to do the Englj~h .. handstand on the beam). Step 5. From a stand with arms overhead, place one hand directly over the other (palm against back of the hand). Kick to handstand. When hands are placed on the floor, only one palm contacts the floor. With the hands in this position, learning to control balance is still harder than in Step #4. Once you have reached Step #5, go back and kick to a regular handstand and you've got it for good. When practicing handstands, remember that when in the inverted position , the body should be kept very rigid with very slight arch. THE CONTROL OF BALANCE IS DONE THROUGH THE PRESSING OR RELAXING OFTHE FINGERS AND BY RAISING OR LOWERING THE HEAD. If the body is loose, the control through the fingers and head will not work. Handstands may be practiced at home to save precious workout time in the gym.

Only ~y'stem Nissen has modern tubular steel guy braces for greater stability and safety.

New System Nissen No. 610 Uneven Parallel Bar with width adjustment from 17 to 31 inches.

Nissen has developed new tubular steel guy braces which not only look more modern , but are safer too. They provide

~ both compression and extension strength, something old-fashioned cables can't possibly achieve.

Another advantage of Nissen rigid-type . guy bracing is that height adjustments are much easier. The T-handles on the guy braces are simply loosened, the equipment

-- rals~_d a~~ the T-handles re-tightened.

Another important function of Nissen guy braces is to stabilize the equipment in its folded position enabling it to be transported easily and safely.
