    Cartwheel Fundraiser!

    So this year is my school's anniversary (125 years old) and one of the things we are doing is using our talents to raise money for a school building project in Kenya. Each person has to come up with an individual way of using their talents to raise money so I thought of...cartwheels. However I...

    WAG Aliya Mustafina is injured!

    I had this injury a few years ago (same knee and everything) and it was nine months from when I injured it that I was back to my full training hours again. I still have PT every week on it but I have no restrictions in which moves I can do. I sometimes still get a bit of instability in that knee...

    Weighing your gymnasts?

    At my old club we had a weigh in once a week and it was the sort of stressful "oh my gosh have i gained a quarter of a pound??!!" sort of thing. It would end up that all the girls were careful not to eat too much on the night before weigh ins, we wouldnt eat breakfast or drink until after the...

    Emily was cleared by the ortho today!

    I tore my ACL and had it reconstructed just over 4 years ago now. After the rehab after the op I had to get a CTI custom brace (big carbon fibre thing) that I wore in training for about a year. I didn't tend to wear it on bars unless I was specifically training dismounts but I always wore it on...

    How to get rid of a bad habit??

    I use to and because we do it without really realising it, it's hard to stop. My coach ended up stopping my music every single time I did it in training and making me start over. In the end you get so sick of it you won't do it. Of course you then concentrate on your tongue more than the routine...

    I've been selected for the Commonwealth Games!

    Thank you so much everybody! It means so much that even one person enjoys watching my routines let alone so many of you! I am so excited for the Commonwealths! They are such a huge deal and it feels amazing to have been selected! I have never been to India before and can't wait to visit a new...

    I've been selected for the Commonwealth Games!

    Thank you everybody! I didn't realise those video had already been put up! And Bog, I agree it is an incredible oppurtunity and I still can't quite believe I've actually been representing my country at these competitions. We did an autograph signing and I have never had a more surreal...

    I've been selected for the Commonwealth Games!

    Thank you very much! No I don't. But if you search me there's a couple of videos you can find. My ones of last year's british champs are up and a competition I did in Rouen last year and I think the British Teams :) Also my routines from this year were on the British Gymnastics website (not sure...

    I've been selected for the Commonwealth Games!

    Well I haven't been on in ages and so I thought I'd update everyone! My biggest bit of news is that I have been selected as part of the Team GB group that are going to Delhi to compete in the Commonwealth Games! :D I am so excited and thrilled to have been selected and absolutely can't wait...

    Well its happened

    At 16 I finally got mine in April :rolleyes: and even though I'm much older and it's much easier to deal with it was still scary. I love the ice cream and nails idea, a great way to take her mind off it! I agree with the book idea for getting used to tampons, it's certainly easier to study it...

    Nick Names for equipment

    One of our vaults is named Pittabread because it goes into the pit :) Our coach always says "Go and work on pittabread" and it cracks us up! We have granny floor, our older floor area that has several rather groany areas when you land on them! One of our beams is....the bottombuster...when you...

    "Weird" Gymnast Habits

    Forgot one, I ALWAYS eat watermelon before a meet :) It's the craziest thing and sometimes difficult to get hold of but it has to happen :)

    "Weird" Gymnast Habits

    Anywhere I find a line, I find myself doing sections of my beam routine :) Mainly the poses. My nervous tick which I normally can be seen doing at any meet or before an exam or anything like that is I hold my right hand in my left and rub the middle of my right palm with my left thumb. I NEVER...

    Let's create a gymnastics story...

    "Thanks Jake, that's really nice of you! I'm sorry I didn't get to know you better before I left, you seem like a great guy. Makes a change from some of the jerks at our school! I hope you have a good time there anyway!" She started to turn away before noticing the small card in the flowers that...

    Let's create a gymnastics story...

    "This would be a massive step for us to take. It would mean either sending you away or moving house. You know that we support you fully in gymnastics so if this is what you really want and think is the best thing for you we'll do it. But think about it carefully because it will leave a lot...
