I did love this show... than Kate ruined it for me. I think the children are absolutely adorable. My only beef would be that I feel so sorry for Cara. It's like she's invisible. Everything is about keeping Mady happy. Helllllooooo-she has a twin! I just want to send her to her room...

I'm not going to come on here and make excuses for Shayla's actions. But, considering the kid has lived in a gym for most of her life, she was probably partying a little too hard. She is just coming off of her horrible situation at the Olympics and is probably into just having some fun. Was...

MOMto2gymgirls, You're doctors were absolutely right. PT or OT will do nothing to help growth plate issues. The gymnast has to stop using her arms completely and let it heal. Usually, about 3 mos. or so. If not, it can lead to the worst case scenario as in my above post. Ice, Rest, and...

wrist pain Hi all. Just wanted to make you aware of a condition called gymnasts wrist. My dd dealt with it for two yrs. This past summer she had to have surgery to shorten her ulna and repair the TFCC (triangular fibrocartilage) in her left wrist. She now has a plate and screws holding her...

Hey, I have an idea. Let's ask the big, bad basketball and football players to climb a rope in a piked position. :rolleyes: Or, let's ask them to be good at 4 different positions on their field/court. They have to play all positions equally well. Bet THEY couldn't do it! IMHO, gymnastics should...

MartinaE, We have highs and lows with this crazy sport. But for some reason, dd can't walk away! I laugh because she has a love/hate relationship with it. She is now motivated again. She works very hard in the gym. She is a perfectionist by nature. In all aspects of her life! Nothing like me...

DD stands for darling daughter. She practices 21 hrs./ wk. :)

I suppose your dd is in about 6th grade. Just be careful that she doesn't burn out. I speak from experience with my dd. She is 13 and a level 10 now. The constant training and lack of social activities pulled my dd away from the elite scene. She loves being a level 10. She says she has a life...

I'm mom to a 13yo first year level 10. Oh my! All I can say is, "Gee, I miss level 8! Life was so easy then! Level 10 is brutal. Dd is doing well. Had first comp. last weekend. Unfortunately, she was in the session with all of the elites. Comp. was tough. It'll come. Nice to meet everyone.
