Giulia Steingruber ist Europameisterin im Sprung!!!

Der Poker von Steingruber und ihrem Trainer Zoltan Jordanov ging am Ende auf. Obwohl die 20-jährige Ostschweizerin beim zweiten Sprung den Jurtschenko nur mit einer Schraube zeigte, wiederholte sie ihren Triumph aus dem Vorjahr. Dank der besseren Ausführung der beiden Sprünge siegte Steingruber am Ende knapp vor Anna Pawlowa (Aser), der Olympia-Dritten von 2004, und Larisa Iordache (Rum).
Wie bereits im Vorjahr riskierte Steingruber auch in Sofia nicht alles. In der Vorbereitung auf die Titelkämpfe war Steingruber beim Jurtschenko mit zwei Schrauben gestürzt und musste deswegen eine mehrwöchige Trainingspause einlegen. Wohl auch deshalb wählte sie im Final wie bereits in der Qualifikation die Sicherheitsvariante, was sich auszahlte. Obwohl einige Konkurrentinnen einen höheren Schwierigkeitsgrad turnten, landete am Ende Steingruber zuoberst auf dem Podest.

Für Steingruber ist es nach Brüssel 2012 (Bronze) und dem Titel im Vorjahr in Moskau die dritte EM-Medaille an ihrem Paradegerät. Am Schwebebalken und vor allem am Boden hat die Gossauerin in Sofia weitere Medaillenchancen.

Giulia Steingruber - Quatre Finales - Européens dames à Sofia

Giulia Steingruber et ses partenaires ont fait très forte impression lors des qualifications des Européens dames à Sofia. La leader de l'équipe helvétique disputera quatre finales.

La St-Galloise fait partie des huit finalistes au saut, au sol et à la poutre. Ses belles prestations ont également grandement contribué à la qualification de la Suisse pour la finale du concours par équipes, prévue samedi.

Championne d'Europe en titre au saut de cheval, Giulia Steingruber a prouvé dès jeudi qu'elle était l'une des principales candidates à sa succession à son engin de prédilection, alors qu'elle a été gênée dans sa préparation par une blessure à un genou. La sportive suisse de l'année 2013 a placé une boucle tant dans son Chusovitina que sur son Yurchenko.

Dimanche en finale, elle ajoutera une vrille dans l'exécution de son deuxième saut. "Je dois tenter cela si je veux avoir une chance de défendre mon titre", expliquait-elle.

Une deuxième médaille paraît même envisageable pour Giulia Steingruber. Elle a en effet signé la troisième meilleure performance des qualifications au sol, une discipline dans laquelle elle avait terminé 5e aux Mondiaux d'Anvers en octobre dernier. Ses ambitions seront en revanche moindres à la poutre, où elle a décroché le huitième et dernier ticket.

Parmi les autres Suissesses en lice, Ilaria Käslin a manqué de peu une place en finale de la poutre. La Tessinoise de 16 ans terminait 14e des qualifications, à 0,167 point de Giulia Steingruber. Elle réussissait un exercice quasi parfait, mais écopait d'une déduction d'un dixième de point pour avoir dépassé le temps qui lui était imparti...

Par équipes, Giulia Steingruber a mené son équipe à la 6e place de qualifications remportée par la Grande-Bretagne. La formation entraînée par Zoltan Jordanov a totalisé 163,363 points et peut espérer égaler son meilleur résultat dans des joutes continentales, une 6e place justement.

Jennifer Lawrence - Marie Claire June 2014

Jennifer Lawrence looks flawless and fierce on the cover of Marie Claire‘s June 2014 issue, on newsstands May 20.

Here’s what the 23-year-old actress had to share with the mag:

On maintaining her relationship with Nicholas Hoult: “When we’re busy, we agree to mutually ignore each other. Not completely, but neither of us gets mad when the other doesn’t text back or call. Life’s super-busy. Obviously you know what they’re doing, and you trust them. We’re so young that it would almost be like if we lived in the same city, what would happen? We’d be living together. At least this way he’s in the same boat as I am: We can go out and have our own lives and know that we have each other.”

On rumors that she’s jealous of Kristen Stewart: “There was something in a magazine, and I was like, ‘Oh, my God, that’s hilarious,’ because Kristen and I are friends. I actually texted her a picture of it and was like, ‘Just so you know, this is absolutely true.’”

On being up against Lupita Nyong’o at the Oscars: “I was very happy I voted for Lupita. It’s beautiful when you watch something good happen to somebody when it’s well deserved.”

On tripping on the red carpet: “I’m trying to do the right thing, waving to fans, trying to be nice, and there’s a traffic cone. The second I hit it, I was laughing, but on the inside I was like, ‘You’re f*cked. They’re totally going to think this is an act…’But trust me if I was going to plan it, I would have done it at the Golden Globes or the SAGs. I would have never done it at two Oscars in a row. I watch Homeland – I’m craftier than that!”

February 1939 - Mother with her children at migrant camp - Weslaco TX (Colored by me)

February 1939.  "Mother with children at migrant camp. Weslaco, Texas." Background for this series of photos as recorded by Russell Lee in his notes: "Local employment men say that there was no need for migrant labor to handle the citrus and vegetable crops in the valley, the local supply of labor being ample for this purpose. Most of the local labor is Mexican and the labor contractors favor Mexican labor over white labor, partly because the Mexican will work much cheaper than whites. One white woman who was a permanent resident said that the white people who lived in the valley had no trouble with the Mexicans. The Mexicans were good neighbors, she said, always willing to share what they had. She said the white migrants who came into the valley and resented and misunderstood the Mexicans caused the trouble between the two races. Some towns in this section permit camping only in trailers. The charge for camping in tents is about fifty cents per week, including water, which in some cases must be carried four city blocks. Privies are tin, very bad condition. Garbage is collected only once a week, with large dumps of decaying fruits and vegetables scattered among the camps. Some of the white migrants in this camp were very suspicious of governmental activity, due to the use by south Texas newspapers of the term 'concentration camps' referring to Farm Security Administration camps.
