The face at the top of U.S. womens gymnastics will change next month when longtime national team coordinator Martha Karolyi retires following the Summer Olympics.The address that doubles as the programs heartbeat will not.USA Gymnastics has reached an agreement with Karolyi and husband Bela to purchase the training facility the couple owns in Huntsville, Texas. Financial terms were not disclosed, but a closing date of Aug. 24 has been set, just three days after the closing ceremony in Rio de Janeiro and five days before Martha Karolyis 74th birthday.It has everything we could possibly ask for, USA Gymnastics President Steve Penny told The Associated Press. Along with what it represents to our heart and soul, as a physical facility, we couldnt go out and build it. Its been custom made what for what we want and need. You add up all the elements and its like `Dang, what an easy decision.The Karolyis established the rustic estate in Sam Houston National Forest about an hour north of Houston in 1983, eventually expanding it to 2,000 acres. USA Gymnastics is buying 36.2 acres, including three training gyms, housing for up to 300 athletes and coaches as well as a dance studio, dining hall, medical and rehab facilities and recreational areas. The facility will also get a new name: the USA Gymnastics Athlete Development Center at the Karolyi Ranch.The Karolyis will keep their residence, a hunting lodge Bela Karolyi built and the remaining acreage. USA Gymnastics will have right of first refusal if the Karolyis decide in the future to sell off other parcels of land.The USA Gymnastics board of directors unanimously approved the sale, pointing to the amenities, the location and the unique aspects of the ranch -- which includes a vast array of wildlife from camels to peacocks -- that have helped turn the womens national team into an international powerhouse. The five-woman team Karolyi will lead to Brazil next month is heavily favored to back up the team gold medal it won with ease in London four years ago.This place has stood the test of time, Penny said. There are things we have to make sure we do a little bit differently, we have to fix some things. Nothing that is going to require significant work. Its sturdy. Its a sturdy place to be.Karolyi announced her decision to step down after the Rio Games last summer. The Karolyis are expected to maintain a presence at the ranch, and USA Gymnastics is considering turning an older portion of the main gym -- one lined with pictures, medals and trophies from major competitions dating back to the 1980s -- into a museum to honor the Karolyi legacy.They are still a part of us, Penny said. They will always be a part of USA Gymnastics. Theyre still both going to play vital roles for us in the future. Martha will always want to drift into the gym and well always want her to do that.Bela Karolyi joked the sale means freedom for him to do as he pleases on the ranch while his wife of 54 years travels to visit family in her native Romania. Though the deal has been in the works for a while, the formal exchange of power will mark the end of an era. The Karolyis defected from Romania to the U.S. in 1981 and the ranch played a vital part in the U.S.s rise from also-ran to dominant force.The Karolyis have pledged to donate $250,000 to USA Gymnastics after the sale.Its very nice to see that once Im finishing my job, USA Gymnastics will take over and continue, Karolyi said Monday. I think thats the best way to preserve the system which proved itself as very efficient and able to produce world-class gymnasts and world-class teams. Bill Bates Jersey .

Collingwood key forward Travis Cloke would have made his stunning return to form, with or without his illegal glove, Greater Western Sydneys Jeremy Cameron says.The AFL has banned the glove Cloke wore on Saturday to protect two swollen fingers during the Magpies 32-point upset of the Giants at Spotless Stadium.He kicked four goals and took 12 marks - five of them contested - in his best performance this season amid his ongoing struggle to hold his place in the senior team.On Wednesday, the AFL checked the glove and ruled it was not allowed under its guidelines, slapping the 29-year-old with a $1500 fine.Given he was able to recapture form that had made him a four-time leading goalkicker with the Magpies, he might consider it money well spent.Cloke first wore it the week before in the Pies win over Carlton, believed to be the first time in about a year he had done so.He is understood to have believed it was fine for use, because it was similar to an approved one he hhad worn before.ddddddddddddAsked on Wednesday whether he thought the glove could have given Cloke an advantage due to its potential stickiness, Cameron said his fellow forward was simply in form on the day.I did hear the boys talking about it a little bit, but it didnt really matter if he had a glove on or not, Cameron said.He was on on the day.Its great to see Trav - a forward like myself - playing good football again.Its always hard going back and playing in the twos, but the way he played was awesome.Cameron felt a little bit for Cloke, who had been in and out of the team all season and widely criticised for his form slump.But I mentioned to him after the game, Why did you have to find form against us?, he said.But it is great to see him doing well.Cameron said hed tried a glove on a few occasions, but didnt feel it helped his game.
