we had the BEST time at dd's meet!!!! It was such a blast! It couldn't have been better!
I know that not too long ago i posted something like "competing a 4 year old" and was a bit worried about signing her up...Turns out - i'm really glad she got to go!! She had so much fun and was just as cute as can be!!!
Anyway, it was a rather small competition. There were only 15 level 2's.
DD was SOOOO awesome! I can't believe how well she did. Especially being that it was her first time competing gymnastics...not to mention the fact that up until the night before she thought that she was going to do rod floor for the judges.
Anyway, she started out on bars. She did a pretty nice pullover. FELL ON THE BACK HIP CIRCLE (she never falls on that, but she over-rotated - no biggie though!) She still scored a 8.6!!!!!
Then the beam. Forgot the v-sit. The rest of the routine was pretty good, except the tuck jump because she lost her balance a little. She scored an 8.4
Then vault. I thought it would be a little awkward for her. Her coaches usually have her practice on a 16 inch mat for her vault. At the meet, she vaulted on only 8 inches. So anyway, it was a little different for her, but she still did really really well! scored a 9.1...The coaches told me that the judge even took off several tenths because dd didn't do an underarm swing (whatever that is
)
Next was floor. I'm not kidding when i say that it was the most beautiful floor routine i have ever seen her do. It was amazing and TERRIBLY cute!!! She knew that she had done a really good routine and went running like lightening over to coaches - forgetting to salute to the judge! She was the last one to go on floor and at that point the meet was over. There was a HUGE cheer from the crowed when she finished! It was awesome! And then another huge cheer from the crowd when they flashed her score! she scored a 9.4!!!!!!!!! WOW. and at her very first meet. I could not be more proud!!!!!
she placed first on all four events and in the all around! I am just so proud of her that i can't stand it! We just went into it hoping that she would have fun and were blessed with WAY more!!!
