2 more before states in December. This was a very small meet in a very small club. The venue was less than desirable. Start time was 4:30pm didn't start till 5:30pm and ended at 9pm. There were only two sets of judges. First pair rotated between beam and vault. Second pair between floor and bars. There was no warm up during first rotation because of lack of time. There was also a different rotation. She started on bars, vault, floor, then beam. I didn't understand it! With that being said, we managed to have a great time and had dinner with teamates!!!(Olivia ended up asleep on a bench...lol) Didn't get home till midnight.
She was up first on bars and over rotated her mill circle( I really dislike that skill The rest of her routine was ok.
Bars: 8.0 (1st meet 8.45, 2nd 8.35)
Had more than plenty of time to warm up on vault. I thought it was a good one for her.
vault: 8.75
Next up was floor. She did a great routine. A wobble coming out of the kickover and a big hop back on ROBHS but otherwise it was one of her best.
Floor: 9.0
Last event was beam. It was also very late and the girls were all tired and starving. Liv bobbled on the leg swing and for a sec thought she would fall but she fought and pulled it through. Her straight/ tuck jumps were scrificed from the scare. I thought her turns and dismount were better. All in all similar to last week. Was hoping for a mid 8.
Beam: 7.95....
First girl up in her rotation forgot her routine halfway through it. She froze and shrugged her shoulders looking at her coach. The coach talked her through it twice and she scored a 7.6 something. I can't understand it! Hard to believe this week's routine was a whole point lower than last weeks. It sucks this sport is so subjective. Very difficult for adults to understand let alone a 6 year old. Luckily she was so thrilled to win 1 st PL team she didn't mind very long.
She placed 3rd on floor, 5th on vault and 5th AA out of 9. There were only two age groups, younger/older. Oldest girl in her session turns 9yo in Nov. So all in all not too bad for being so young!
