winning gold in the senior men's all-around. In the combined team/all-around event, team

pretty good,? Gafuik told Gymnastics Australia. ?The Pacific Rim is a big
competition on our calendar and I was really happy that I was in good shape to
give it a good go and I did a good job tonight. It was pretty sketchy in the
middle [falls on high bar and floor], but I got there in the end.?

APRIL 15 - DAMIANOVA SIGNS WITH UTAH
2008 Olympian Nansy Damianova is joining the Utes this September!
"I'm very happy and proud to join Utah's prestigious gymnastics
program," Damianova told the University of Utah. "As a child, my
goal was to compete at the Olympic Games. I put all my time, energy and focus
on achieving that goal and I enjoyed every minute in Beijing in 2008. It was a
wonderful experience and I'll cherish it forever. After living through this
very high intensity journey, I needed a little time to adjust to a new life as
a young woman and plan my future. I found that my love of gymnastics was so
strong that I couldn't see myself without it. With the help of my coaches and
parents, I decided to look into competing at the NCAA level and the University
of Utah seems to me the best program to achieve my new goals."
Added Damianova, "I'm very happy to start a new life in Salt Lake City
and look forward to joining the team. Training with the girls and competing in
front of the best gymnastics crowd I've ever seen will be amazing! Just as I
did for 10 years to reach the Olympics, I'm ready to put all my energy,
efforts and time on helping the Utah team achieve its goals. I'm very proud to
say that I'm a Ute!"
