-- A total of 12 current and former Ohio State student-athletes and
coaches will take part in the 2004 Olympic Summer Games, set to
begin Aug. 13 in Athens, Greece. This grows the number of Buckeyes
who have competed all-time in the Olympics to 107. Three of the 12
will serve as coaches, including Miles Avery (assistant coach, men's
gymnastics), Doug Beal (head coach, men' s volleyball) and Linda
Witter (assistant coach, synchronized swimming). The nine athletes are
Raj Bhavsar (men's gymnastics, alternate, USA), Louise Bond-
Williams (fencing, sabre, England), Robert Gary (3,000 meter
steeplechase, USA), Gulsah Gunenc (swimming, 100 and 200 meter
butterfly, Turkey), Becky Jasontek (synchronized swimming, USA),
Nick Rees (swimming, 100 meter butterfly, Bahamas), Jason Rogers
(fencing, sabre, USA), Katie Smith (women's basketball, USA) and
Blaine Wilson (men's gymnastics, USA). In addition, Ohio State
wrestling head coach Russ Hellickson and women's soccer head coach
Lori Walker will assist in NBC's television coverage of the games.
Hellickson will serve as the play-by-play talent for wrestling, while
Walker will provide color commentary for women's soccer

No, but Columbus has become a hotbed for training in USA Men's Gymnastics.

However, not knowing where Paul Hamm did go to school, I just found an interview with him. He said he's currently attending UW-Milwaukee, but intends to transfer to Ohio State after the olympics!

Starting at ND this fall...

Scary when you consider the kind of wins she'll tally in the next 4 years. Too bad we can't say the same for your football team :)

Sorry, Chief... I think they'll get better (with or without Ty, if you know what I mean), but that girl's got a lot of W's ahead of her.

First Gold in fencing since 1904! WOW!

Speaking of football I was on the Michigan board and I was shocked at the respect they are giving ND this year as most think the game will be very close! After last years close game?? LOL!!

BTW ! To the tough guy who sent the "we don't give a shit, retard"
note in my rep section! Get some balls and sign it!
