Hi All,
Dani had a great meet overall. There were some ups and downs but mostly ups!! Here's the rundown:
Beam was first. She had a few bobbles and didn't make the press (but tried her damndest!!) but didn't fall
.
Score: 8.7-9th place
Floor was next. Her coach had her doing her ROBHS a bit differently to see what the judges would do with it. What Dani does is she does her RO, then immediately goes back into a back bend/bridge and then kicks her legs over and snaps down and rebounds. Doing it this way she doesn't get the deduction for the spot, just some form deductions. IT WORKED!!!!
Score: 9.20!!!!
4th Place!!!
I was so shocked when I saw that score--and thought for sure they would end up changing the score like at one of her previous meets but the judge kept it! Yay!!!
Vault was next. Dani seems to always balk one vault and sure enough she balked the 2nd leaving only one for scoring. Her first vault was nice, though.
Score: 8.7 - 5th Place
Bars was last. She seemd to have an okay warm up, but when it came to her routine she had some problems. Afterwards, she said that the bars felt slippery and actually slipped her right hand on her front hip circle on low bar. That must have freaked her out because when she jumped to high bar, she was tentative and didn't have enough power to go into the kip. Plus she said that the bar was slippery and she was afraid she would fall so she just improvised with an extra swing and a pullover. She finished the routine strong but it was her lowest score yet
.
Score: 7.60 - No Place
AA was a 34.20 (one tenth lower than last meet). I think the winning AA was 36.05. It seems like there weren't too many super high AA's in this session, so the new rules are working. The kids are where they should be and there are no more "sandbaggers" sweeping everything.

I bet you're so proud! LOVE the picture at the end of the splits on the two beds. I have an almost identical picture of me doing that way back when!
