Reminder of a time when Iowa State dominated nationally . . . . . in men's gymnastics

In the early 1970’s, the Men’s Gymnastics National Championships were in Lincoln, NE when I saw Cyclone Ron Galimore perform his rings routine. At the conclusion, the entire crowd knew it was perfect and immediately jumped to its because they just witnessed the first score of a 10 in NCAA history. ISU Men’s Gymnastics was awesome!

Ron Galimore made the USA Olympic squad but the USA boycotted the Moscow Games.
 
Gene Smith- the destroyer of men’s gymnastics and baseball. An absolute ass while doing it!
