Gymnastics News!!!!

Photobucket" Photobucket
Wonderful news! Krista's Gymnastics team routine won 2nd place in our region on Sunday! This would be equivalent to a State competition in the US, as our region is considered a small "state" within France. The winning team came from near Switzerland (Saint Louis)...We will be going there at the end of May for Krista's final individual CF3 competition. There were over 500 gymnasts there on Sunday! It was a LONG day for us on Sunday (1:30-7:00).

The weekend started off with the individual competition for her CF3 team (Formation 3 level) on Saturday. Krista did a wonderful job and I will include a video clip of two of her three routines. She had ball, cord and freestyle routines to perform. This is the 2nd of 3 performances that will be added together towards the final season personal score (as was the case last year also). The gymnast with the highest score will be the champion of our region! Can Krista do it again this year?????? We'll see....

On Sunday we had her group routine for the DR Poussine group (Regional Divison "babies"). The team wasn't quite as "sharp" as they were 2 weeks ago, thus the 2nd place position. It was still a great honor for Krista to be runner-up!

Here is a small show from Krista's individual on Saturday. I will post a video of her group sometime this week also.
