I was bored and missing gymnastics over spring break so I was re-watching my old meet videos. My dad was the one videotaping while my mom (unknowingly) entertained all the parents in the stands with her monologue that I could then hear when I watched my meet on the camera. Even though my mom knew that, she could not help herself. Does anyone else do that or was it just my mom?
My particular favorite was when I was in level 9 and competing beam. I was terrible at beam to begin with but this meet I did my backhandspring back tuck and completely missed the beam and landed on my back under the beam. All the parents who my mom is sitting with have lower level daughters so they all gasp and are saying things like "Oh my goodness! Is she okay?" Then you hear my mom laughing and saying that I am physically fine but that I lost all value of my series so I'll get a terrible score. I get back up on the beam and the next thing I do was a switch split leap and I straddle the beam. At this point, my mom is laughing even harder and then she says, "I think she is actually going to get a 5!"
