It's just a curious question what do you do before competing or starting a routine? Are you very nervous before or can you easly cope with it? Do you feel a lot of pressure? Do you have any tricks or "ritual" for getting focused just before starting? Or after failing one of your skills, series...
I know it's hard to be pushed down to get your splits, but as more people have said above is necesary to get more flexibility, it's true that you can push yourself down but you may be afraid of hurt yourself.
I remember how my training used to be when I was little and I was always pushed down to...
Thank you very much ^^
The competition isn't over yet, well, the competition itself yeas. I'm quite happy to the result, I didn't think I would reach the top 3 in any of the four apparatus but I did it, so I couldn't go better. The only parte left is the gala, it's tomorrow night.
I haven't got...
It's not my first meet of the season, but It's one with mucho more meaning for me that others. It's the Grand Prix of Moscow, it's a international invitational and well, because is always held in the city of Moscow, every year all my family comes to see me. I don't see them very often so apart...
I've never heard about been deducted because not saluting the judges, although is impossible for me to think not doing the salute. It's just a part of the routine itself, I've never seen any gymnast not doing the salute, including the littlest ones. As someone has said before, our coaches take...

And about other skills... The Godunko leap, it's like instead three normal steps you do three leaps... I had to work for a entire year for get it.
Another leap that I don't know the...
You did it great!!
I really liked your video and your floor routine was great. As MaryA has said it has so much drama and energy. And a lot of Artistic Gymnast don't have the corporal expression that you have, you should be proud of it :)
Firstly I wanted to thank you all I really appreciate all your advices and I really like yours, dancengym, that has made me fell much better, so thank you so much.
The decision is like "stopped" for now. I know I could continue competing and the reason of doing gymnastics is not just for make...
Thank you very much! I'm really happy to see that there's people interested in Rhythmic Gymnastics (that comment has made me smile).
I don't have any videos prepared yet but I've created and album with some photos of my most recent competition for everyone who'd be interested ^^
I know it looks like some weird, I'm 15 and thinking about quiting gymnastics but I'm really been thinking about that lately and most before having confirmed that i won't make it to London next year. For who don't know I'm a Rhythmic gymnast and I compete in Elite level. I've been doing...
In my homeclub (I compete for two different clubs it dependes on where I'm competing and for who) we start competing at the age of 4-5. What coaches watch for are flexibility, hand-eye coordination, natural graze and strengh. Maybe it'd sound strange but a Rhtyhmic Gymnast also needs a lot of...

I totally agree with that. I mean when a I was 10 I trained over 36hr per week, but I wasn't like L6 (for what I've read I think I know more or less what's the requirements of that level). And I also think that for that level, no for that age, is completly inapropiate and less if they aren't...
