Our gym requires gymnasts to meet a certain amount of flexibility and strength goals before they advance to the next level each season, but if they move they compete.
Our state meet was held in a city that also has a large gym. Those family members cheered SO loudly for every girl on the team after every event, and it was really a distraction for some of our girls.
No, typically our girls will compete 5 but skip L6. ♀️ Our pre-team does L1, then we compete L2 and up. Our girls go into a L3 season with solid L3 skills (able to score 9 and up) most meets, but most don't have solid L4 skills until near the end of L3. My L3 daughter probably has all of her L4...
During the meet season, our girls may work on some skills from the next level, but primarily they work on perfecting skills from the current level. For example, our L3s will sometimes, but not every practice, work on their kips on bars, double BHS on floor, and cartwheel on beam.
Oops, I was wrong - there are several others who have scored 4 10s in a season:
Haley Mustari
Chloe LaCoursiere
Lilah Jasperson
Kira Grady
Miyo Hogan
Danielle Ferris
If we limit it to Compulsories, Miyo Hogan has the record.
