WAG Level 7 vs Platinum

[Snowbaby1sun]

Can you compete Level 7 without giants? My gymnast had all 7 skills except giant and was told had to go platinum because she could not do giant (severe mental block). Now has then with a spot on pit bar. College aspirations and will be 16. Has Level 7, 8, and 9 skills on other areas. Level 6 State champion last year went to regionals. Feel like being held back.

You can, but many gyms won’t let you. A giant is a basic bar skill for upper level/college gymnastics if that’s her goal. Does she have a strong toe-hand or clearhip handstand she could do instead? My daughter competed level 9 without giants, not because she can’t do them but because a toe-hand is worth more.

She has both. However she is stuck at platinum due to gym rule.
