Just been so busy with things and in my head. Started going to the gym again and losing weight.
Anyways, my dd's season is now also finished. She had her last competition on June 17th. She made regionals in May because she was 2nd in 1 of her 2 pre-competitions. So quite happy about that...
As some of you might remember dd didn't have such a good 2nd meet to place for regionals. Ended up last, because of stuffing up bars. Well she thought because of that she wouldn't make regionals. But . . . . . . . .
SHE DID!!!!!
Because she placed 2nd at her 1st competition, she placed for...
And it didn't start well at all, resulting in ending last.:bawling:
She started on bars and she finally mastered the kip last Wednesday. And she was being a little stubborn and adamant to put that element in. With warming up, she did it, but on the competition, it didn't work. Then she had to...
She is my daughter, Talitha and I thought I would surprise her and have people welcome her. She will tell something about herself soon. She had started a post, but when she went to post it, something went wrong. So I thought I would do this.:D
My 14 year old dd came home tonight, it is past 11pm here and she trains from 6:30-8:30pm on Wednesday and says. I shocked myself, I did the kip, like 4 times.:eek::eek::eek:
She started to learn this like 4 years ago, even at her old club, and just couldn't get it. Moved to the other club and...
So thought I would share this, after not having been on this forum for 2 years or so.
Am trying to put a video in, but it isn't showing, or is it just me? Not sure how this works anymore?

Hiya there, my name is Carina and I was on this forum years ago. But then for no reason at all stopped coming here.I guess partially because I am not American and not living there, so lots of things are different. I did read up on a lot of news on a different International Forum, called...
Hi there, I have been a member here for quite some time, but haven't been around for such a long time. I am on Facebook a lot, so forgot about this place. Then also I didn't keep my dd's website up to date either. At some point I did update her Dutch website and in between I offered dd's group...
As promised I posted the video's, but thought I'd better not put them here, but in the video area. Hope you can find them. Here aew 2 pictures of her though:
1st one is of her 2nd place at semi-final and 2nd one is showing her medals after her news club's competition.
It is a bit late, cause it is already 2 weeks ago that she had it. But I am sure you still want to know how she did.
Because it isn't officially her club yet, she didn't have their leotard or trainingsoutfit. Our current club doesn't have a club trainingsoutfit at all, just a leotard, that...
Talitha has been at our towns club for 3 years now and she got in with wink, as the trainer says. Because I was asking for it, because she wanted it to so badly. As I said before she stayed weak for quite some time, also had something to do with her anger moods and attitude. But she loves...
We are from Holland, so the whole gymnastics system is different from what most of you have in the USA or CA. But my daughter got into the, what we call, the selection team of our towns gymnastics club almost 3 years ago. She wanted to learn more difficult things and train more. But recreational...
since I was on this forum. Unbelievable how fast times go. I just haven't had the chance, time to come on and I also kept forgetting. Some of you have been kept up to date with my dd's gymnastics via youtube though.
I will do some reading here and there, but won't be able to catch up with...
I quickly made a little film of her doing a few rolls and summersaults on vault just now. So I will see if I can remember how to put it right in this post. It is a shame I didn't get her cartwheel this time, but she can do that on beam too. She started learning that last Summer, when we trained...
the roll on beam without hands!!!! I was shocked. Her trainer started letting her do it with help probably about 5 weeks ago or so and dd told me she thought it was so scary. She said she got nausceous and dizzy. I didn't think she would learn it so quick, especially since the roll with...
I have recorded this a week before the competition, but hadn't had the chance to do anything with it yet, but I did yesterday, and thought it would be nice to show as well.
On this one the beam is missing, but on floor you can hear the original floor music.

Well I managed to do it, for the first time with music this time. I hope you all like it.
You can't hear the original floor music, because I decided to put other music over it, becaue there was so much noise in the background, you couldn't hear it really.

for my dd's films? I have glued the bits and pieces together, but there is so much background noise, that I would like to try to put some music on it, but I have no idea where to look for some nice music to drown out the noise.
Hope someone can help me.

Since it is almost 11pm here, I thought I would upload the little movies of dd's meet today. It is still in proces now, but I would think in about half an hour, theyu should all be in my accouhnt. Will post them in a post here tomorrow, but don't want to wait up till they are done. So check...
Well the day finally arrived for her competition. Before it wasnt'sure if I could come, because I have been having neck/shoulder arm problems since Tuesday and it is still bothering me. But I couldn't not go, so I went and I knew it.:eek:
Anyways. She did so much better than last time...
