I was browsing the library yesterday, and came across a fictional book about gymnastics. It's called 'Going For Gold' by Anne Schraff. It's basically about a muscular elite gymnast struggling with her her weight. It's a good read, fairly short at 123 (Small) pages. I read it in about an hour and a half, the print is rather large and the pages are not very big at all.

Look for it for you or your DD then ext time you're at the Library. :)
It's not worth buying, but a definite "check out".

Here is another book that would be good for DD about the 2008 Women's Gymnastics Team.

It's 128 pages. I have not read it but it looks good for the 9-12 age group. It's funny because it has the same title as the book Nightflare posted! :)

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
