We had our third and last meet yesterday, it really had it's ups and downs.
Oldest Bog really wanted to qualify for Provincials and in the system she can qualify as an event specialist. She had a very good chance on Tramp, and a perhaps on bars and beam. She has wokred very hard on all three. This being said she had the saddest meet ever.
Floor she balked on her back tuck, never does that so she finished way down.
Beam did a niice job, no falls, no major wobble and got the lowest score. Coach approached the judge who just said that's the score. The judge didn't write one thing down during the routine (we were sitting right there) and just made it up and the end.
Vault nice job for her got a 12, which she was happy with.
Tramp she did a lovely routine, landed the final move, front tuck, and then fell back wards and right on the the edge. OMG my heart just dropped for her. she got 10.75, fall is 0.8, she would've medalled easily without the fall.
Bars she did a lovely routine, much nicer than her 12 routine at the last meet, she was given an 11.45, gobsmacked. Coach approached, judges not budging. Girls with falls and nasty swings were getting 11's.
Of course nobody knew during the meet how upset this made DD feel as she will never let her team down, she smiled and clapped and cheered. But she is devastated, the only one in the gym not to make Provincials in the High School girls. Can't begin to tell you how bad I feel for her. When she was sitting alone on the floor whist her team were all up on beam (coaches were warming up the next group) my heart broke. Hopefully she can survive the next few weeks of everyone training to compete whilst she is training for nothing.
I'll make a second post for Little Bog.
