Women First JO Nationals is in the books...National Champion on Beam

[lovofu]

WHEW is all I can say....as a host team family we all worked so hard all weekend to pull this meet off. In the midst of the controlled chaos...Sophia competed. First was floor...gorgeous routine and a fall on last pass....I held my breath and she did a beautiful vault (Start Value 9.7) and earned a 9.275...OK better. Bars...caught her jaeger and pak but brushed the mat with her toes (not sure of the deduction) and 9.1...Last even Beam...I just wanted her to have one magic moment...and she got her moment. She was 4th from last and scored 9.675...I had no idea on other scores but someone texted...she is in first...I could hardly breathe and the last three girls did beautiful routines but her score held up. National Beam Champion! So very proud of her! I have a couple videos up on

Congratulations to her. Well done and now you can breathe.

Well done Sophia. I always love watching her and love her beam, and can see her get tighter each time. Barely a flicker of a wobble there. I can't wait to show my DD in the morning. (UK here!)

I hope you get some pampering for all the work you put in helping out too

I watched the media person video btw - your original one says that it is blocked on copyright grounds as it contains material from SME. Who are they and how dare they stop me watching?!

Congratulations. So proud of her. Wow! It is hard to believe she has gone from that tiny little girl with pigtails doing level 4 to this in the span of all this time we've had this board. We need a transformation Tuesday!

I just watched the best Level 10 beam routine in the country... holy smokes! She is the definition of a gymnast; the form, grace, poise, focus, athleticism, precision, etc. It's all there! You must be a very proud mommy!
