OLYMPIC CHAMPION 'Feeling Great About You: Finding Your Focus'

摘要

Olympic Champion Bart Conner is the only American male gymnast to win gold medals at every level of national and international competition. Conner has been a USA Champion, NCAA Champion, Pan-American Games Champion, World Champion, World Cup Champion and an Olympic Champion. Conner was a member of three Olympic Teams in 1976,1980 and 1984. It was during the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics that he made a dramatic comeback from his second torn biceps injury to win two gold medals, one as a member of the US team. Conner earned his second gold with a perfect ten on the parallel bars. Conner's interest in gymnastics began in grade school gym class, when he excelled at acrobatic moves. As a child, he participated in many sports, but at every opportunity, Conner could be seen trying handstands. By the time he was a teenager, he had a set of parallel bars in his back yard and a pommel horse in his basement.
