“He’d be better off if he was in an
organized system like ours.”
The Nebraska coach said he was
still disappointed Dimas decided to
leave school following the 1990 na
tional championship.
“I don’t consider him a Huskcr; I ’d
expect a lot more out of him if I called
him a Husker,” Allen said.
But, Allen said, he is going to have
to put aside his differences with Dimas
for the Olympics.

“If I didn’t think that I could get
along with him, I would’ve never
taken the job,” Allen said. “I’m going
to have to take off my Nebraska hat
and put on my Olympic hat.”
Dimas said leaving the Comhusker
state was a difficult decision.
“There are times I regret leaving
Nebraska, but I think by making the
Olympic team proved I made the right
decision,” Dimas said.
The 21-year-old gymnast gives
credit to Allen for hiscurrcnt gymnas
tics success.
“I think competing at Nebraska put
a lot of pressure on me and helped
make me consistent,” Dimas said, ft
“The coaching of Francis was crucial
to me making the (Olympic) team.
“I really feel we have a good team
and will contend for a medal,” Dimas
said. “I think I can do real well indi
vidually as well, and have a good
chance to medal on the high bar.”
But no matter what happens next
month, Dimas said just being given
the chance to compete in the Olym
pics is like a dream come true.
“This is cvei^thing that I’ve ever
dreamed of,” Dimas said. “To accom
plish this, it just feels incredible."
