First Competition

I had my first competition on Sunday 30th November in Birmingham Uni.  Sadly, our uni didn't win anything for the beginners, but one of my team members one 4 gold medals for advanced and 1 bronze.

Here are my vaults.  The floor wasn't filmed, thankfully, but the routine was:

Floor:
Forward roll to
Star jump
Chassé
Leap
Chassé
Cat leap
Backwards roll
Headstand - roll out
Half turn jump
Cartwheel cartweel
Full piroutte
Roundoff

There were elements that could be changed, such as the final skill, but I stuck with the roundoff.

Vault
Straddle over
Hop on straddle off vault (monkey vault in parkour)
Jump through vault

Vault 1

Vault 2

Started Again

I have started gymnastics again recently because my uni has just started a gymnastics society.  I also attended a few adult gymnastics classes beforehand, because my fitness has improved a lot this year.  I started at the beginning of October and currently train 4.5 hours a week, although there is an additional adult session that could bring it to 6 hours.  The additional session isn't with the Uni club I go to, so it is more expensive at £5 rather than £2 and £3.


Anyway, I love it! But I am pretty rubbish.  I recently took part in my first competition and I think I came last on floor, pretty certain of it.  But the vault wasn't as bad.

Straddle over vault - my next progression. (Not me)
