Nastia had her Fall Missouri/Ill State Amerikids L3 finals Saturday.
Vault 9.200 (2nd)
Bars 9.00 (3T)
Beam 8.90 (3rd)
Floor 9.05 (2nd)
AA 36.150 (1st)
Consistancy is definately improving. Even though she scored higher in beam and bars before, her vault and floor have increased by .60 each.
Her beam routine was a little off due to a lack of concentration. She kept looking at the coach most of the time with an "was that right?" look on her face, and it was breaking her stride. Just something else to work on is all. In her defense, her coach corrected a few slight hand/arm position errors the night before, and Nastia became worried about performing them correctly. Thing is, she did -- but the rest of the routine fell below while concentrating on these other things.
As you can see from the scores above, she didn't win a single event, but still took 1st in the AA which as a real surprise for her. She had a great time, all smiles. Fun and team spirit all the way.
Unfortunately camara batteries failed during the the meet, so we have no videos this time. Only a few pictures. I'm fairly sure there will be other opportunities. like... in 4 weeks at the Kool-Aid Cup.
Thanks for sharing in our joy.
