CME Program Featuring
Guest Speaker Olympic Champion Bart Conner
Topic: "Feeling Great About You: Finding Your Focus"
Olympic Champion Bart Conner is the only American male gymnast to win gold medals at every level of national and international competition. Conner has been a USA Champion, NCAA Champion, Pan-American Games Champion, World Champion, World Cup Champion and an Olympic Champion. Conner was a member of three Olympic Teams in 1976, 1980 and 1984. It was during the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics that he made a dramatic comeback from his second torn biceps injury to win two gold medals, one as a member of the US team. Conner earned his second gold with a perfect ten on the parallel bars. Conner’s interest in gymnastics began in grade school gym class, when he excelled at acrobatic moves. As a child, he participated in many sports, but at every opportunity, Conner could be seen trying handstands. By the time he was a teenager, he had a set of parallel bars in his back yard and a pommel horse in his basement. In the fall of 1976, Conner moved to Norman, OK, to attend the University of Oklahoma and to be coached by Paul Ziert. While at OU, Conner earned 14 NCAA All-America honors and led his team to two national team titles. Conner still enjoys high visibility as a TV color commentator and public speaker. He has worked as an expert announcer for every major television network. Conner’s production company, Perfect 10 Productions, has produced gymnastics TV shows for ESPN, Fox Sports Net, Oxygen TV and the World Championship Sports Network. Conner has appeared in television and feature films, including, Rad, about BMX bike racing, Peaceful Warrior and the 2006 Disney gymnastics feature, Stick It, starring Jeff Bridges. In 1996, Conner married Romanian Olympic champion Nadia Comaneci in a lavish state wedding in Bucharest, Romania. Today, Conner and Comaneci are involved in several charities, including the Executive Board of Special Olympics International and the Board of Directors of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. In 1991, Conner was inducted into the US Olympic Hall of Fame, and in 1997, he was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame. In 2006, Conner’s Olympic Gold medal winning team was inducted into the US Olympic Hall of Fame. Along with some of their fellow Olympic medalists, Conner and Comaneci contributed a chapter to an inspirational book called Awaken the Olympian Within. Today, Conner and Comaneci continue to travel the world delivering inspirational speeches as well as promoting their charities, gymnastics, fitness and healthy lifestyles.
