Linden, Maddie and Ross went back to the competition again this morning to watch some of the WOGA girls. What was impressive was the number of quality gymnasts here. In the session Maddie and Isis were in basically every girl performed double back on floor as a basic element - many double pikes and some full ins. Again almost every gymnast performed minimum layout yurchenko vault, tkatchev or gienger on bars. This was followed by another session of the same and three more sessions today all of level 10 - thus about 250 level 10's all doing this !!! The level 7's had very similar standard to our level 7's except for vault which for many was a tuck / pike yurchenko - most of these girls were 10 or 11 years old.
The competition today was held in a conference centre which had 3 floors, vaults, bars & beams thus had a level 7, 8 & 10 session all going simultaneously with about 150 gymnasts competing ... it was amazing to see and to see such a high standard.
Other than valentine's day, it was pretty much a do-nothing day. Because Isis stayed at her parents house last night, she got to meet one of her Great Aunt Lois. (Her dad's aunt). And she is going to come and watch me at Oklahoma, as well as my Great Aunt Aquilla, who she's never met before either. Isis stayed with her parents again tonight because she was still feeling sick. So that's pretty much all that happened today! We were all treated to chocolate strawberries for Valentines Day !
