My teammate and I competed the exact same routines last year in xcel gold. When team placements came around, I noticed I got put in xcel gold again, while she was moved up to platinum. When I asked my coach about this, she stated that though we have the same skills, I was held back because I was a first year gold. My teammate was a 4th year gold.
Coach told me what skills I needed to move up to XP: half on full off, kip-cast above horizontal- into clear hip- cartwheel into round off on beam, and front handspring front pike and round handspring layout on floor.
Teammate is competing: half on half off, xcel gold bar routine, cartwheel swing through cartwheel on beam, and rbt and rbhs on floor.
Our routines in XG: vault- half on:: bars - pullover, cast, double bhc, tap swing turn dismount::: beam - cartwheel swing through cartwheel::: floor - round off tuck and front tuck
I find this very unfair. I don’t think so should have higher requirements or be held back solely because I was a first year. I scored well too. I don’t know what to do. Any advice? First meet is in october!
