@TumbleTwist..... Not a ride......you wanted to be on let me tell you! That comp they had no practice on bars and she nearly slid off. It was a terrible coaching problem (i.e.., not enough coaches presumably to save our gym $$$$ and they sent young inexperienced coaches ) and at age 7 they were basically on their own at a meet because their coach left to go help older level gymnasts! We as parents were in shock and horrified but there was nothing we could do in the stands. We voiced our concern to gym after the fact. She won though basically being her own coach and helping her other level 2s! Even the coaches apologized to us after the meet. Parents stop attacking us and understand so much happens in comps and at gymnastics in general. This was our first comp season and we couldn't believe it. @TumbleTwist Please don't be that nasty gym parent we all avoid like the plague!This was my thought. With the amount of times she used the word "gifted" I was expecting to see high 9's in L2. Her 8.9 score on bars tells me she isn't quite ready for L4/L5 as the OP is saying. I feel like we're being taken for a ride.
