Honestly my gymnasts and I feel it's different. We got them once and everyone hated them

Well one of my girls just learned them in two days and now doesn't need a spot...but everyone is different :)

A lot of my older gymnasts like them much more than 2 hole grips.

Girls can use 3 hole grips also.

1. You need to be with USA gymnastics to go to the Olympics. 2. In USAIGC, the coach decides to move you up. There is no score to be reached. You could get a 28 all around score and the coach could still move you up. Like someone else said, it's a college bound program. There is less training...

Also once you hit higher levels, the gymnast is older and has other things going on in their life. A lot of girls lose determination because they're busy with everything outside of gymnastics. Also it's no secret that when the skills get harder there's more risk of injury and the gymnast is...

You need to lean back more.

I met a coach that is pushing 40 and still competes level 10. Not USAG, different organizations. But still equal to USAG level 10. She's pretty cool. Let's not forget about Oksana Chusovitina????

Diamond would not be level 10. Hardly even level 9. I think of it more like Gold in USAIGC, not that many of you know what that is. Essentially it's like level 8 1/2. No D's are allowed in Diamond while certain D's are allowed in level 9 and there are no restrictions in level 10.

Average routines are: Beginner level 6 floor: Robhsbhs, front tuck, split leap side leap, tuck full Advanced: Robhslo, fhs ft, switch leap Beginner beam: Cartwheel, full turn, tuck jump, split leap and split jump, aerial dismount Advanced: Roundoff, fhs, or bhs, full turn, pike jump, split jump...

We're pretty decent sized-1 floor, 5 vaults, 10 beams, 3 sets of uneven bars, 3 strap bars, and 3 single rails. We've got a tumbl trak, and pits everywhere.

Like many people stated it is about the proper roundoff. It has to be scooped under to have a correct long back handspring and then once that is perfect, everything after that usually comes quickly.

Yep they are working now. The app has even got the red badge on it now (can't remember if it did when push used to work?) but it's working better than ever.

Wow, would ya look at that. I even got push notifications! Thank you!

I open it, and it just stays on the black chalkbucket screen with that thing continuously spinning.
