Oct 3rd, USAG Fall State qualifier.
This was a fun meet! I mean, really fun. We had gyms from all areas of Missouri attend, and the competition was pretty tight. Nastia was moved up to the 10 yr olds group since she'll be 10 during the Spring 2010 meet. This alone made her very nervous as we have some really good 10 YO's on our team. I can report sweating palms from both mom and dad as some other teams (Esp the "Eagles" from Kansas City MO) gave us a real run for our money and grabbed many podium spots.
Nastia did well. Not as solid as 2 weeks ago, but still retained her '9's club' badge, which is really all she cares about anyway. An unlucky fall off the beam from her competition opened up the top position on the podium. - to her surprise.
Vault: 9.25 (5th) I honestly have no clue what to look for on vault.
Bars: 9.3 (4th) One day - she's stick her dismount. I hope.
Beam: 9.0 (9th) Wiggle worms set in today.
Floor: 9.5 (1st). If she only held her handstand 1 second longer *sigh*
AA: 37.05 1st place.
Nastia gave permission to share her floor exercise. (she's so particular you know...)
YouTube - Level 4 floor routine. Score 9.5
