    WAG Nadia Comaneci - perfect 10.0 - just out of interest?

    Interesting question, I'd like to know the answer as well. I wonder how the old bars compare to today's FIG setting.

    Parents How to stay positive when all the other parents are negative

    My daughter was uncomfortable with me leaving her in the beginning, but now, all's good. It just took her a little while to realize I'd be there when she finished. She also knew I was only a phone call away.

    Parents Age grouping for optionals

    She'll compete according to her birthdate. They'll have a range from one date to another and girls who have a birthdate that falls in that range will compete against one another.

    WAG Advise for mom for first meet

    I agree with Uglybetty, when my dd had her first competition I let her know that whatever happened, it was just a moment in time. It did not define who she was either as a gymnast or as a person. We talked about how even the great ones make mistakes, blah, blah, blah. Afterwards, what has worked...

    WAG L10 and elites?

    I didn't know there was a difference between national and international elites. Can someone please explain this? The junior/senior is just an age thing, right?

    WAG Leotard ride up "in front" eek

    My dd wears the GK panties and they work great. They're cut high and fit snug, so they don't peek out from under her leo which is very high cut.

    WAG Put into Xcel without being told

    This whole age thing really bothers me. I know there are some gyms that are super competitive and won't take girls past a certain age or without the "right" body type, but I think it's doing both the gymnast and the gym a disservice. My daughter started gymnastics at the ripe old age of 9. Her...

    WAG How flexible are you/is your DD? Does she stretch at home?

    My dd L9 11 yrs. is naturally flexible ... they call her a rubber band at gym; however, consistent stretching helps her to get the most from her flexibility.

    WAG What percentage of L7 girls do you think make it/last to L10?

    I don't know about the numbers, but I wanted to tell you I love your avatar Tbrov. Beautiful!

    WAG Hardest Press Handstand on Beam - Can your DD do it?

    According to dd, the press to handstand where you are facing the length of the beam (I think it's called English) is that hardest because your hands are closer together so you don't get that same stability you would get with them shoulder width apart. My dd used this for her mount last season. I...

    WAG Help! My Lvl 9 wants to quit!

    My daughter went through the same thing last year. I pulled up to the gym and she burst out in tears and said she wanted to quit. For her, the problem was that she's a perfectionist. She wants to make everyone happy and she was just getting overwhelmed. Our solution was to take her out of...
