Bittersweet day, today. We are at the Biles Invitational and it may just be our last meet ever. Dd has been injured all season and just Thursday her coaches strung together something so she could attempt competing at least one last time. She has never even attempted these routines in practice before two days ago. But her coaches say it is safe, even if not high scoring.
In the summer she had beautiful level 8 everything, but then she injured her knee, shoulder and the stress fractures in both legs came back. She was off for several months but insisted she wanted to try to finish the season with one meet.
This is the end for Gymnastics and her body. But she wanted one last chance to attempt a meet. She is still slowly grieving the end.
We have no hopes for any medals. She is just hoping for a 32. That is so weird to say from a former state champ, but that is where we are.
Please cross your fingers for her. I just want her to leave the sport on a happy note, if that is even possible.
