I thought for a brief moment about searching youtube for level 5 gymnastics, but there are hundreds and hundreds of routines on there and after the first one or two I would give up!
Thanks Faith. I can't see anything wrong with us discussing how good Rebekah Bell looks in her youtube videos on a gymnastics forum. I honestly think, if I was her parent and had posted them, I'd be happy and proud that people were referring to her and saying nice things. I'd feel uncomfortable if it were to poke fun or say negative things.
I couldn't see anything from level 5 from her, but I got very excited when I saw her level 4 floor, because that shoulder roll is what dd is doing. Honestly, I thought it was a weird idea when the coach put it in. I'd never really seen one, but I can show dd tomorrow how good it could look and she'll love it. I'm happy to have seen that.
The level 4 skills are exactly what I expecting. It's the inclusion of those sorts of skills at level 5 our club doesn't do. DD needs to sort her acro series and cast handstand, which has come and gone a bit, but IF she were to make nationals (which I agree looks pretty unlikely now), there's another two months to work on them. She doesn't execute them as beautifully as Rebekah though. How poised is she?! There are a couple of girls in dd's group who they have high hopes for making national squad, fingers crossed for them.
DD loves Erifilly. She's a big fan. I believe she is still training artistic and has also taken up dmt and made the national finals for that this year. Very talented young lady!
