25 Years Ago November 26, 1976: CU women's gymnastics Coach Eric Singer and four top American gymnasts traveled to South Africa to compete against athletes from eight countries. Five of the nations pulled out to protest against the South African apartheid government. Singer, the CU women's coach since 1974, was named head gymnastics coach for the American team in November of 1976. He traveled with Ron Galimore, a 17-year old black gymnast from Louisiana, who received standing ovations for his winning performances on the vault and floor exercise. As the CU women's gymnastics coach, Singer had sent 15 gymnasts to national competition.
