Interviews
--During the 1998 ERA Women's World Pro Competition, CBS had a long overdue interview with Kim Zmeskal...about being back in the gym again! This move by Kim has sprouted a lot of questions, and this interview did it's best to answer most of them...

--USA-Gymnastics Online has a wonderful and very LONG telephone interview with Kim on their website on August 12, 1998!

--Kim was featured in an interview in the latest International Gymnast Magazine (April 1998-p. 25). Pretty much the interview said that she moved to Cincinnati to train for the tour in a positive environment and her love for training and performing led her to competing again. She was just testing the waters at the American Classic to see if she enjoyed competing again and wasn't really looking at scores, as she had only been training bars and vault since December. She really enjoys gymnastics right now and plans on continuing to go wherever gymnastics takes her, whether it be the Olympics or not.

--Cetate World Gymnastics conducted a short interview with Kim following the ERA Women's World Pro Championships.
