You know those sessions when it looks as though the gymnastics fairy found a minute to sprinkle some dust over your child? Well my dd had one of those :)

The most fantastic one was her beautiful front handspring front somis, which she was landing very prettily, chest up and plenty of time, at first time of asking.

She also did her first cast handstand hold, although she's been close on that for a little while they usually collapse down too quickly, this one stayed and stayed and was followed by a couple more decent ones.

Her straight backs were going well too and she had a great beam session.

She's had really lovely handspring to one, handspring to two -very strong and controlled for a good while and her front somis were ok too (you'd call it punch front?) but the two together were even better.

Nothing different about her going in, something just clicked I guess. Wouldn't it be nice if she could just repeat it ...

Awesome!
 
Those are fabulous days.... Nothing much beats that feeling (either child or parent). Congrats to your daughter.

Beam deductions

Hi everyone! I’m hoping to get some help understanding my deductions on beam. I’ve been watching my videos back, but I’m having trouble figuring out exactly where the judges are taking the most off. If anyone is willing to take a look and give me some feedback, I’d really appreciate it. I’m especially curious about execution deductions, rhythm/connection issues, and anything in my acro or dance that might be costing me. The judge started me at a 10 for this routine, and I got a 9.1
