Geelong Gymnast

[Takiah]

Hey guys,

I just thought I would do a quick introduction of myself..

I'm 19 years old and I live in Geelong (which is where the Australian Masters Games will be hosted in 2009!)

I competed for around 4 years when I was young (I only reached level 3 before an unfortunate event occurred and had to transfer gymnastics centres) which shortly after doing so, I broke 3 of my toes and was out of action for quite some time...coming back to gymnastics was very difficult and I soon lost interest (I had started making friends in high school so spending alot of my time in the gym didnt seem fun)

Unfortunately I was about 17 when i realised what a horrible mistake I had made (and at the time i realised this did not know adults could still train) Now I am 19 years old and have started adult gym and am now in training for the 2009 Australian Masters Games-- which is basically for old ex gymnasts

I'm spending as much time in the gym as possible (working full time til 8pm every night makes that quite difficult)

Well that was quite a long introduction, sorry!

Hello, and welcome. I am a fellow Aussie, and a big supporter of adult gymnastics. Every club around where I live has adults classes. In fact I know of an 80 year old who can still do a standing back tuck.

Hey, welcome to CB! I actually remember passing through Geelong when I was in Australia a couple years ago.
