DD (age 7, level 3) was so excited to get her first rip! Coaches gave her a tape grip, she feels like such a big kid. I don't know how I'm going to convince her to take the "grip" off before she goes to bed :-)

My, what long fingers you have my dear! All the better to grip the bar with.....

this hasn't happened to my 7 year old yet. She is such a wimp about the slightest little boo boo, that I'm afraid that she'll quit gymnastics on the spot the second she finds out these are par for the course.

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
