BCGA women’s optional team had the honor of attending the 14 th annual International Gymnastics Hall of Fame induction ceremony, which was held at the Petroleum club in Oklahoma City downtown late last month. The inductees of this year’s event were Cathy Rigby (USA), Henrietta Onodi (Hungary), Yuri Korolev (Russia) and the late Mikhail Voronin (Russia). Photographer Eileen Langsley (Great Britain) received the AAI International Order of Merit.

Each of the honorees gave a heart-felt speech as they were all clearly moved by the occasion.

The black-tie dinner event hosted around 200 guests including various community leaders as well as many prominent gymnastics figures from all around the country and the world. The emcee of the evening was an IGHOF member himself, Mr. Bart Conner!
