So we had some good, some bad and some real ugly. Some over zealous judges too.
I'll start with Bitty Baby Bog, BBB from now on.
Floor 11.6
She did a great job, coach thought she scored very low, needs to finish her skills a bit better
Bars 10.15
Some legs apart, only girl to do flyaway. Coach also said she was scored low.
tramp - no score
Had elite level judge, scores were all very low. He told her to remove her earrings bfore she went. She has never done this herself and she freaked out as she has had so many infections. Her score was so low they don;t show it. She was not happy.
Vault 10.45
Not bad for her, she got over it and she has struggled with the new gymnova board since it was introduced.
Beam 11.40 8th place ribbon
The best of all. She decided to put in her cartwheel even though it is a bonus and none of the other girls in her group do it. She placed 8th and got a ribbon. She did not fall off. She would've scored higher without the cartwheel I think, but I am impressed that she went for it.
Very proud of her attitude, she was happy with meeting her goals and it was clear the other teams were very strong. A first meet that leaves her with things to work on but also thing to be proud of.
Now on to Bigger Bog. She really has struggled for a few years with injury and this meet was her payback time. There were 3 girls in her age group and one in the older age group. They put the four of them together and they were all from our club. The girls did not know this ahead of time and therefore they worked hard.
Floor 11.05 2nd place medal
Looked quite nice, front was low and she wasn't feeling very energetic. But overall very nice.
Bars 9.5
This one bites, she did a lovely routine, the only girl with both kips and a flyaway. The judge was a national level judge who was not used to the regional circuit. She said her swing was not to horizontal and therefore deducted 0.5 for that and also disallowed her long hang pullover, so she lost 1.5 for that one thing alone. Though in the video you can see she does meet the requirement. She came last of four girls, and her routine was by far the nicest. A learing lesson again.
Vault 11.1 1st place medal
Didn't see this and the video is very poor as Dad got the crap old camera. She was very happy
Beam 12.55 2nd place medal
NIce routine overal. She almost fell on her cartwheel, but managed to hold on.
Tramp 10.3 1st place
Nice routine. The Elite level judge was very harsh and the other three girls got in the 8's. Hopefully we do not see him again this season.
She was very happy with her medals, she also place 1st AA and was announced as the Championne de specialiste, which is always nice.
The nicest thing for me was seeing the team spirit. Of all the clubs there ours cheer for all the girls from all the clubs, they were so kind to each other when things did go wrong. Such a pleasant thing.
The videos are now uploading to my youtube. I didn't put up vault or BBB's tramp as the quality is so poor. BBB is E and BB is T. My channel is liamtaraerin.
