And he’s had it since he was eight years old. The 5-foot gymnast from Omaha said ever since he started gymnas tics when he was eight, he had always wanted to compete in the Olympics. “It’s been a lifelong dream,” Grace said. Grace had done a great deal in this past year to show that he is ready to give it his best shot at fulfilling that dream. He won the 1995 NCAA paral lel bars event on his way to also winning the All-Around at the NCAA Championships. He was also a six-time NCAA All American throughout his career at Nebraska. And although Grace almost didn’t come to Nebraska, he said he was glad he decided on becoming a Husker. “There are no better coaches,” he said. “I’m just lucky to have got a scholarship offer and to have had the opportunities that I had.” Two weeks ago, Grace also showed there was going to be no drop-off in his attempt to reach his goal. He won the U.S. Olympic Festival parallel bars event, the vault and also the All-Around. “It was a really good experience,” Grace said. “It has given me more confidence in the events I’m going to compete in for the USA Cham pionships.” The USA Championships are scheduled to begin Wednesday and will run through Saturday in New Orleans. To qualify for the Olympic tri als, Grace will have to be one of the top 21 gymnasts in the nation. Grace would then have to finish in the top nine to qualify for the Olym pics in Atlanta. However, Grace said he is at tempting to not let the pressure get to him. “If you can’t compete or can’t handle the pressure,you can’t make it,” he said. “It’s not an easy task to qualify for the Olympics; other wise, everyone would make it.” “Something ” lacks.. .something By Sean McCarthy Staff Reporter The premise of“Something to Talk About” sounded great. Hire director Lasse Hallstrom (“What’s Eating Gil bert Grape”) and screenwriter Callie Khouri (“Thelma and Louise”). Each has the ability to make heroes out of average people rebellingagainst their trapped lives. Julia Roberts plays Grace King, a woman who is smart, attractive and feverishly committed to her family and community. However, she begins to lose touch with herself along with her family. This, of course, changes when she spots her husband Eddie (Dennis Quaid) getting very close with on of his co-workers. Roberts’ reaction to this scene shows she can be a great actress with the right material. From shock to shame to anger, Robertsplays Grace’s turning point to perfection. Grace leaves Eddie and retreats to her family for support, which she gets, sort of. Her father, .Wyly (Robert Duvall) shames her for separatingfrom Eddie, who is a business partner. It is Grace’s little sister, Emma Rae (Kyra Sedgwick), who is fully sup portive of Grace. With her headstrong personality, Emma forces Grace to look at what she is going to do about her life. Roberts shows she can be a great actress with the right material. From shock to shame to anger, Roberts plays Grace to perfection. Even though each character in “Something” has problems with infi delity, the characters are so down-to earth that they don’t make an impres sion. Only Sedgwick’s role sticks in your head. Though audiences may eagerly talk about the issues “Something” raises, they will rapidly forget the movie it self as they walk out of the theater.
