Probably an unpopular opinion, but I wish Nastia Cup wouldn't allow former elites to qualify. I think it is more meaningful to let the true L10s have a shining moment.

Does anyone know the name of her current floor music?

Does anyone know the name of this music?

My DD was an Xcel Diamond in high school and is now going to be a sophomore at a large state university that has a club gymnastics team. She is competing Level 9 on the club team...they have girls that compete from Level 6-Level 10.

That is not completely correct. For women in NAIGC/Club gymnastics in college, they have the option of competing anywhere from Level 6-10. My daughter is competing Level 9 in college club at a large state university that also has a D1 women's team and a GymAct men's team. She was an Xcel...

The execution gap between the Americans and Russians is huge imo. Many of the US girls don't even hit 180 in their split jumps, leaps, ect. especially on beam. Legs apart on backhansprings on floor, falling-out of turns, ect. Lots of flexed feet over all events. I think overall the US team...

I have never heard/seen that before in our region. Our state doesn’t even allow high school gymnastics although other states in our region do have HS programs. Region 4.

Yes! My daughter is a rising senior...after having State canceled 12 hours prior to her competing, she is desperate to compete at least “one last time”. It really pulls at our heart strings to think it might not happen. My younger daughter also competes and I am totally fine with her skipping...

Oh shoot! Not sure if this is helpful, but my DD had the same injury last summer (on vault also). She was out until October, started training again and then competed Nov-March. By the time March had rolled around, she was in so much pain again I didn’t think she would be able to push through...

Thank you! She does love that too, but someone has that ahead as well.

My daughter loves this music and was hoping to use it next year, but a teammate has it and is not planning to give it up. Any suggestions for something similar?

My daughters last two meets haven’t been published in meetscores which is a bummer because she would be in top 100 and have her gym’s high score record. I emailed Meetscores and they were very quick to reply, but did tell me there is nothing they can do if the host gym doesn’t submit the scores...

There are many options for bars and beam...if you are level 8 you should have no problem constructing Diamond routines. On bars my DD does cast handstand 1/2 pirouette on low bar and a free hip on high bar. I also see a lot of free hip on low bar and free hip on high bar or a free hip and a...

Both of those passes are more than sufficient for Diamond. You would not need a 3rd pass.

Having just had a daughter finish up 4 months of PT for the same diagnosis...she needs to take personal responsibility and follow-thru. Get up early and do it, do it during gym, stay up a little later. She needs to find the time to make it happen if it is important to her. Also you are paying...
