New Shawn Johnson Gymnastics Video Game to Debut in November!

Wednesday, August 11, 2010 by Andrew Foss

Zoo Games and Shawn Johnson Plan Release of the First Gymnastics Simulation Game for Wii

Cincinnati-based publisher Zoo Games collaborates with sports superstar Shawn Johnson to create the first game dedicated solely to gymnastics on Wii.

Zoo Games, and wholly-owned subsidiary of Zoo Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZOOG) is set to release Shawn Johnson Gymnastics, the first game on Nintendo Wii dedicated to gymnastics – the game will also be released on DS and DSiWare. Compatible with the Wii Balance Board, the game will offer a truly realistic experience in the following gymnastics events: floor exercise, vault, balance beam and uneven parallel bars. Shawn Johnson Gymnastics is set to hit stores this November.

 Shawn Plays her New Gymnastics Video Game

 


Shawn has worked closely with Zoo to provide incredibly realistic game play. By incorporating her gymnastics skills, consumers will be able to create an authentic gymnastics experience right from their very own living room.

“Shawn is one of the most decorated and gifted athletes in the world, and bringing her skill and knowledge of the sport to this title sets a new level of realism for video games,” said Mark Seremet, CEO of Zoo. “We are very fortunate to work with someone who is as dedicated to her craft as we are to ours, and the end result will reflect that dedication when the game hits store shelves this fall.”


Medaling in both gold and silver in Beijing at the 2008 Olympics, as well as receiving an ESPY and the prestigious James E. Sullivan award, Shawn Johnson is nothing short of an icon in the sport of gymnastics. In addition to her athletic achievements, she is a role model to girls around the world. “To work with an athlete of Shawn’s magnitude is an honor, and the fact that she remains humble through it all is a testament to her character,” said Seremet. “In addition to her obvious athletic contribution to the game, it is just as much her persona as it is her talent that will make this title extraordinarily fun and enjoyable for the whole family.”

Shawn Johnson Gymnastics is slated for a November 2010 retail release on Nintendo Wii and DS.

Get A Grip - GK Gymnastics Grips Help you Hang on Tight!

Tuesday, August 10, 2010 by Andrew Foss
Gymnastics grips are a staple at the gym. Grips are worn on each hand when a gymnast performs on the uneven bars, rings or high bar to keep the hands from slipping. They have a strip of leather that covers the palm of a gymnast's hand, secured by a Velcro or buckle wrist strap at the bottom and by the gymnast's fingers at the top.

GK Offers a variety of grips for gymnasts, in both GK brands and Reisport. Also do not forget wristbands, which provide both support and a place to wipe sweat!. And be sure to invest is a grip bag, to keep any excess chalk away from the clothing in your bag. CLICK HERE to order GK Gymnastics Grips

JCPENNEY, WARNER BROS. CONSUMER PRODUCTS AND OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST AND WORLD CHAMPION NASTIA LIUKIN KICK-OFF FIVE-MARKET TOUR TO SUPPORT LAUNCH OF SUPERGIRL BY NASTIA

New York City Played Host to Liukin for first JCPenney Tour Stop to Celebrate Girl Empowerment, Individuality and the Supergirl in All Young Girls



BURBANK, Calif., — July 26, 2010 /PRNewswire/ —
Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP), on behalf of DC Comics, JCPenney and five-time Olympic Medalist and World Champion Nastia Liukin, joined forces in New York City this past Saturday to debut an all new collection of clothing for girls called Supergirl by Nastia. The event is part of a five-market tour, visiting JCPenney stores around the country. As part of the tour, Nastia is providing young girls motivational advice on achieving their goals, feeling confident and being smart, strong and empowered—being a Supergirl. Liukin also introduced the new fun, affordable lifestyle collection, which is available exclusively at JCPenney stores nationwide.
 
Liukin was on hand to host the action-packed, kick-off event at New York’s Greeley Square Park in front of JCPenney, which featured live gymnastic exhibitions, dance performances, fashion presentations and even onsite stretching and tumbling classes for young girls. Nastia also hosted a meet and greet for attendees and prizes were awarded to lucky winners throughout the event.

“The New York kick-off event was such an incredible way to introduce Supergirl by Nastia to young girls and help communicate a message of empowerment,” said Liukin. “It was so much fun to interact with all of the girls and I am thrilled to be able to continue hosting the remaining events all across the country!”

Following Saturday’s debut in New York City, the tour is set to make additional stops in Dallas, Texas; Chicago, Illinois; Los Angeles, California; and Orlando, Florida. Joining in all markets will be kids from JCPenney’s Afterschool Fund and other local community groups who will enjoy an empowering message from Nastia, as well as the opportunity for prizes, including a shopping spree for back-to-school clothes, courtesy of JCPenney.

The Supergirl by Nastia collection features trend-right, affordable apparel that encourages a message of empowerment, creativity, strength, intelligence and independence—the symbolic attributes and S-Shield of Supergirl, the iconic DC Comics super heroine. The collection, created for today’s 4-12-year-old girls, is now available exclusively at JCPenney, just in time for the back-to-school season.

The line retails from $20 - $38, making it affordable and exciting for girls to style themselves like a Supergirl. The collection includes active fleece, dresses and tunics, knit pants, signature Supergirl tees, dancewear, fashion leggings, shrug tops and more.

Nastia will conduct personal appearances to promote Supergirl by Nastia at the following JCPenney locations:

  • July 31: Frisco, TX — Stonebriar Mall
  • August 7: Schaumburg, IL — Woodfield Mall
  • August 21: Glendale, CA — Glendale Galleria
  • August 28: Orlando, FL — The Florida Mall

For the past four years, Warner Bros. has been supporting female athletes with the Supergirl Jam, the only large-scale, all-girls action sports competition and lifestyle/music festival. The Supergirl S-Shield is the universally recognized symbol of strength and leadership under which today’s sports girls unite. These “actionistas” embody the intelligence, independence, strength and creativity of the Supergirl brand.

Nastia will make a special appearance at this year’s Supergirl Jam set to take place on August 22 in Venice Beach, CA.

Friday, June 11, 2010 by Andrew Foss
All of our girls compete in the 'Mystique Curls' leotard, and we have used this as our team competitive leotard for the past 2 years. Our kids compete in Acrobatic Gymnastics; we actually have 3 teams that have qualified and will be attending the Region 3 Championships on June 19th in New Orleans.

Our gym is not like many others, we teach to 'special needs' children. One of our competitive teams is a brother and sister combo (both with special needs), which will be one of the teams competing at Regionals. They just recently placed 1st at the Texas State Championship and they have been competing with the 'Regular Contenders' from the beginning. Our other two teams are also 2nd and 3rd place Texas State winners, with one team already qualifying for the Junior Olympic Natinal Championships.

To see the faces of these girls when they put their gk leotards on is extrodinary. You can just see a light switch turn on in them as if 'normal kid off-super star kid on'. I greatly enjoy working with these kids and watching them perform and grow as gymnast. Thanks gk for soaking confidence into every leo.
