100 Years of Men's gymnastics at University of Illinois

March 2009 marked the 100th anniversary of men's gymnastics at the University of Illinois. I made the trek out there for the reunion, and had a great time. This a pic with two very special people. On the left is Justin Spring, an Illini Alum who was in the 2008 olympics and is now coaching at Illinois. In the center is Ivan Ivankov, the great Belarussian gymnast.

Illinois is fortunate to have such world class talent coaching for them. This should be an extremely attractive draw for recruiting new talent, and a great way for the current gymnasts to seek improvement from two world class gymnasts who can do every trick in the book!. They've been there, done that and can tell the guys how to follow in their footsteps.
