A bit of good news from us....and although I don't have all the details yet I'm still going to share the news! Krista was "detected" as they say in French, at her competition on Saturday. There is a special select club here in France that has scouts who attend the competitions. It seems that Krista has been identified and will now receive a letter in the mail inviting her to attend the special tests. I'm not sure of the name but it is something like "CREPS" and it is very elite to the gymnastics world. For qualification there are general physical tests (flexibilty, speed) and also specific gymnastics evaluations also (ribbon, cord, hoop). They also examine (and measure) the morphology of each girl to see if they qualify.
We are probabally going to let Krista do the tests since she has been invited (and mostly because she so BADLY wants to). We are not sure what we will do if she makes the team though. The trainings are very rigorous and almost every day of the week! It seems a lot for her age (and a lot for us in the car since it is in the city). We are very flattered that she has been invited though. It is very high praise! We are going to wait for the letter and see what it entails! We'll post when we know more.
