    Women Difficulty vs Artistry focus junior elite

    That makes a lot of sense to me. I guess if artstry isn't there difficulty can take over. 😊

    Women Difficulty vs Artistry focus junior elite

    Thanks. Does that include arms, and upper body form? It seems like they are in such a rush to get the difficulty as high as possible and as a result, often the rest gets neglected...

    Women Difficulty vs Artistry focus junior elite

    Hi, my 13 year old is training for elite qualifiers and it seems like they are focusing on getting as much difficulty in the skills as possible at lighting pace, and very little on artistry. I feel my dd is weaker than some in artistry and I have some concerns around that. Is that the...

    Women Level 10 scoring poorly on beam

    Thanks for the feedback. Really great. I think she got artistry deductions on flex feet and lack of opening on splits, plus maybe her arms are a bit sloppy. She now understands that she needs to work more on form and artistry. Hopefully she can clean it up a bit.

    Women Level 10 scoring poorly on beam

    My dd is a first year level 10. She is scoring poorly on beam although she has a very competitive routine. For example she had one fall in her last routine and scored a 7.6. This was not the case last year in level 9. Has anyone had this experience in level 10? She is very upset about it. Thanks.
