Julianne McNamara - 1981 Worlds AA - Floor Exercise

[metsdudenj]

Amazing the number of dance and tumbling skills used in transitions and even at the end of the routine she squeezes in a leap, turn in the air and a strength move. Notice there were no wasted seconds in this routine.

I love her music! But I thought she could have expressed it better. Still, she really was very good!

Fantastic routine!

Such a beautiful display of originality,grace,

and I love her choreography.

excellent routine, the eastern bloc judges ALWAYS liked her, even when she missed they gave her high scores. Seventh place at the time in the AA moved the sport LIGHT YEARS ahead in the US, and along with Tracee Talavera and Kathy Johnson, she put the US on the gymnastics map forever. Such great champions!

Yes, she's an amazing gymnast! Haven't heard much about her. Maybe because Retton is always in the spotlight. But McNamara did so many perfect routines.

Beautiful! What is she doing today?

Today, Julianne is married to Mike Zeile, a retired baseball player. They met in college at UCLA. I think she has 2 kids.

At 14 years old, McNamara was the 1980 USA Champ a member of the 1980, 1984 Olympic teams.

Todd Zeile, supposedly one of the best looking baseball players ever.
