    Women Same music different routine?

    I personally have not done this, but one of my teammates did, and at a meet, she was in the middle of her routine and started doing the previous year's routine with this year's as well and then forgot the rest of her routine. I would not recommend it.

    Gymnasts Best Vault Option For Xcel Diamond

    Can someone please help me? I am struggling to determine what the best vault option would be. I am an Xcel Diamond. Last year I competed a 1/2 on 1/2 off as an Xcel platinum. I am struggling to find a vault to do this year. Please give me ideas of what to do and what vaults to stay away from. Thanks
