EDITORIAL 
 
 
Dear friends, 
  
we are all waiting for OG to start in Tokyo. We expect the Games to be another step into the 
third milenium gymnastics. Nikita Nagorny with the triple salto backward piked on floor and 
Simone Biles with double piked Yurchenko on vault have already made such a step and on OG 
they will show it to the world audience. 
 
With the June issue, we have added a DOI number to each article, as our university and sports 
faculty are authorized to generate DOI. With the unique DOI number your articles will be more 
visible in various publishing apps.   
 
We strongly recommend all authors to use Grammarly or Instatext (you can find them through 
any search program on www) before sending the text to the editor. Both tools are free and can 
improve your text.  
 
The first article should support idea of »Mens sana in corpore sano«, but with the knowledge 
that a totalitarian regime has ordered it, shaded  a bit.   
 
And again, authors from different countries have contributed their knowledge and we are proud 
that the knowledge is spread. 
 
Anton Gajdoš has prepared 21 short historical notes until today and introduced a short reminder 
on OG in Tokyo 1964. 
 
Two exceptional gymnastics friends passed away from February. Istvan Bercy from Hungary 
(he was judge at 8 Olympic Games) and Jože Senica from Slovenia (he was judge at Barcelona 
OG, and coached Miroslav Cerar few years) went among the stars. Our condolences to family 
and friends.   
 
Just to remind you, if you cite the journal, its abbreviation in the Web of Knowledge is SCI 
GYMN J.  
  
I wish you an enjoyable read and many ideas for new research projects and articles,
