So it was an interesting meet, judging was much more even, but still some odd stuff. They are supposed to separate the Novice, 12-14 years, from the seniors,15-18, for the medals, but the organisers decided not to. Even though the girls are divided this way at provincials. The coaches didn't know this until the last rotation, it was a total surpise to the girls. They would have all placed better, but that is life.
BBB changed her competition stream this last month, she has to train less as her scoliosis is causing her issues and in the scolaire reseau they can not train more than 9 hours, so she is now doing 8 hours per week. Hoping this will moderate her symptoms and still keep her happy competing. She uses the same routines with a few changes and also gets to compete tramp, YAY!!!
Here are her scores, they'll mean nothing to you.
tramp 11.0
vault 11.35
bars 12.00
beam 12.15
floor 11.35
Tramp, her score was low, or so we thought, her routine looked okay, but she has only been practicing it for 2 weeks. She got a 3rd place medal in the 12-18 age group. A very happy girl as this is the first medal in quite a few years. She loves tramp.
Vault, well she got over it.
Bars, the coach found out during the meet that all the girls had t oadd an extra swing to their routine or get a 0.5 deduction, so they all had to change their routines in the one touch capital cup warm up, ridiculous. She got hung up on her grip on the low bar (oops I missed the first bit of the routine) but the rest was well done. She got a 12 and placed 7 and got a ribbon. Medals only go out 3 places here.
Beam, she has had to take out her BWO due to her back pain and so only did one acro, fairly solid and stayed on, she placed 7th here too. Another ribbon
Floor, she had added a back extension roll for a bonus of 0.3, but got deducted 0.5 for it! Go figure. Also the coach found out that every girls on our team was deducted 0.5 for not having a cartwheel in the routine, WHAT???? FIrst we'd ever heard of that. SO all their scores were low. The BER will be left out for the next meet and the cartwheel will be going in.
She came away very happy and she had a great team experience. One of our girls who would've placed if they had done the normal age group split didn't, and they were sad for her, but they were lovely and supportive, and you know how much I looove team spirit.
She has her last meet on April 4th and may or may not get to Provincials as she will only have done 2 of the 3 meets. Regardless of that she is happy and feeling positive about the changes.
