When I was a level 9 I competed my state meet beam and floor with a cast and won beam. One of the judges said it was against the rules specifically but nothing was found in the book and I was allowed to petition to regionals. A lot of people may say it sounds foolish but I was careful with...

I am hypermobile as well. My arm doesn't hyper extend as much anymore but my other one still does...so I guess it's not perfect :) I hope you have a good and healthy recovery with or without surgery!!

This past march I dislocated my elbow and tore my ucl. I didn't have all that other stuff wrong with it obviously but, my doctors actually said "you don't really need that ligament for gymnastics". I thought it was super weird, but after 3 months of a lot of pt and VERY slowly coming back with...
