The author nearly lost me in the first paragraph when she wrote "She hurdled toward the table, ...". Unless the gymnast was jumping over obstacles in her way, I'm pretty sure she "hurtled" not "hurdled".I have some gripes with this book (it could have used better editing - to cut out some of the unnecessary wordiness and fix errors like the one mentioned above), but overall it's a pretty good book with lots of interesting information. Despite the title, It's not just about the evolution of scoring in gymnastics, The second half of the book is about training (US-focused) and the final chapter is about college gymnastics. I would recommend for any gymastics parent. So, I give it a 9.5 for content, maybe an 8.2 for presentation.My one other complaint was that the author sprinkled in a number of pop-culture references, presumably to seem "hip" and to make the reading less dry. But these won't age well, and for readers like me who are not up on the latest TV shows or whatever, they were mostly an annoyance.
Please have this translated into Russian and send a copy to Valentina Rodionenko. Particularly the chapter about how the US has taken over not because the D+E code somehow innately favors their athletes or style of gymnastics, but because they put in years of hard work training and conditioning, and take care to develop their younger gymnasts so they don't have to rely on a few star athletes who have been around for eight years or more.More seriously, this is an interesting, well-written book that far outdoes the ghostwritten memoirs and children's how-tos forming the lion's share of the "nonfiction gymnastics book" genre these days. It reminds me in ways of some of the very detailed pre-Internet reference books printed in the 80s and early 90s that I found in my school library as a child, but updated to reflect the modern state of affairs. Even as a seasoned gymfan with a deep and detailed knowledge of the sport, I came across many facts and stories I did not know. It's incredibly well researched.There are some minor editing oversights (that's not what begging the question means) and the occasional esoteric vocabulary choice (naif? emend? reeeally?), and the author for some reason chooses to provide a voice to the embarrassingly biased and contemptuous views of insufferable artistry snob Elizabeth Booth, but these minor flaws are more than made up for by the strength of the remainder of the book. It's the best nonfiction gymnastics book that's come out in recent memory, and it's accessible to casual fans while still being useful to the die-hards (a trait I wish NBC coverage could share). Hopefully the timing of its release will help it and its author to gain the publicity and audience they very much deserve.
Great book for any gymnastics fan. Meyers went to great lengths to cover all sides of the story and her footnotes at the end show how well-researched the book is. While her pop-culture allusions might not stand the test of time, the story of the sport and the end of the era of the "10" definitely will. Any fan of gymnastics, Olympics, or sports will enjoy this book.
As another reviewer pointed out, this is the rare gymnastics book that isn't aimed at young kids, a memoir, or a sensationalized story. It's a book that treats gymnastics as a real sport.I'm mainly a men's gymnastics fan, but I learned a lot from this book about the women's system and the role the male gymnasts played in the end of the 10 (it's not what many people think).A very readable and entertaining book - buy it.
This book is an interesting read. I recommend it to anyone interested in gymnastics. It helps understanp gymnastics on the international stage with out the 10.
Great book. I've always liked gymnastics, but I'd only consider myself a casual fan. This book explained the history and current state of the scoring and the culture around the sport in just the right amount of detail.
As a gymnastics fan I've been reading Dvora Meyers' work on her blog and in various newspapers and online media outlets for a number of years. I consider myself very knowledgeable about the sport. When I ordered this book I had high hopes, but wasn't sure there'd be much new information for me. I was so pleasantly surprised. This is not just a book about the transition from the 10.0 to open-ended scoring. Rather, Meyers digs into the history of the sport to fully contextualize what both scoring systems mean and why the change became inevitable. She makes a convincing argument for why the new code serves the sport despite the popular refrain to 'bring back the 10' and tv commentators' inability to explain the new scoring to their every four year audiences.Ultimately this is an impeccably researched book that doesn't fall under the weight of its detail. Meyers has interviewed almost all the major players in the modern era of the sport, especially those in the US (the Karolyis are the notable expections who did not speak to her). What she leaned from those interviews and her visits to gyms is woven in a first-person narrative along with research from a variety of gymnastics and popular sport publications. The book moves quickly and technical detail is balanced with allusions to popular culture. Meyers manages to keep the book interesting to gymnerds and accessible to those with casual interest in the sport alike. Easily the best book I've read on the sport. Bravo!
I’ve always been in awe of gymnastics. This book gave me a sense of its progression over the last decades. I loved hearing how the scoring systems evolved. Totally fascinating!
