what kind of gymnast are you?

[Gymbabi]

hi,
my name is Kristen, im a level 7 at Madera gymnastics in California. I've been doing gym for about 4 years now, and im 14 years old. Gymnastics is the only sport Ive tried. my favorite events are floor and beam because of the effort you have to put out to make those events look fluid and gracefull. The events im best at are Vault and Floor.

Hi Kristen and Chelsea
My name is Megan and I'm a gymnast in Australia.
Floor and Vault are probably my favourite events i think, and they are probably my best too. But i like bars lots, and beam is okay sometimes.
What skills are you working on?
Please reply, i'd love to hear from you.

Hey everyone! I'm Kate and I train as a level six at the local YMCA. I just got back form badger state and I finally flipped my back tuck on floor w/o a coach anywhere around! I struggle w/vault and the tumbling on floor. My coach and teammates voted me most graceful this past season. I'm extremely flexible and have good dance elements and jumps. Bars is always good when I get it together. Beam is usually good, but lately my bwo hasn't been going well in meets. TTYL

Hey! I'm Selina i did rec. gym for 7 years before being asked to help as a coach at my club. When i did gym my favourite pieces were bars and beam. I never used to do comps or heavy conditioning because i was only in rec but that was the way i liked it. My coaches were amazing and i loved worked with them. These days i coach for 5 hours a week but would love to do more if i had more time. PM if you want to talk.

hey everyone, my name is Sarah and I actually just retired from gym last year. I was a gymnast for 13 years, and I did 3 years of Level 10. I was on West Virginia University's gymnastics team but had to retire b/c of a recurring fractured back. My favorite event was definitally bars--I loooove to swing back giants and do double layout dismounts. Floor and Vault are tied for second and I absolutely dislike beam..lol

I have retired from competition, but still train as hard as ever, just for the fun of it.

I am a floor and vault specialist. On floor, I recently got my thomas-full (back one-and-three w/ 2.5 twists, landing in a roll -- it's not in FIG). My best skills on floor right now (aside from the Tom Full) are my Thomas (same as the Tom Full, but with 1.5 twists instead of 2.5), my full-in, and my double-front. Skills I'm working on include full-in full-out and a double-layout.

On vault, I can pull off a tsukahara double-back to a resi on a good day, though I can't land with any consistency.

I coach both boys (levels 4 thru 6) and girls (mostly levels 4 and 5, though I also occasionally work with the 3's and the 6's and 7's).
