Good morning Chalk Bucket!
I've spoken to Bog about this, so rest assured that this is not spam ;)
I am writing a novel about an elite gymnast. Although I know a fair amount about gymnastics, I was never a high level (or even mid level) athlete, I've never coached anyone older than 5, and I don't have children. So you can see how I need some help understanding what it is like to be in those positions. I am especially interested in speaking to those involved in the elite scene, but would love to pick anyone's brain. If you are willing to chat, please shoot me a message, and thanks!
 
Hi. Where are you from and what lead you to be interested in the topic (elite gymnastics)??

PS: I hope you do write it - I've only ever read 1 novel about elite gymnastics. It was satirical but hilarious - I loved it.

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
