Hi, guys! This
is Hope! I recently had my first
gymnastics competition. I have
been training for months and looking forward to my first meet!
When I got there, I was very nervous before they called my
name. Of course, my first event
was balance beam. My legs were all
shaky! I ended up falling off
twice.
My next event was floor and I did much better. My legs stopped shaking and I felt a lot
better. My floor routine was
pretty good and I got to do vault next.
I love floor AND vault! I
took 1st place in my age division on vault! I was SO EXCITED!!!
The last event was bars. I got really nervous again because I hurt myself a little
while back on the bars. I told my
teacher I didn’t need her to spot me and I went for it. I got 2nd place in my age
division on bars! I even got my
stride circle without any help! My family was all there to watch me and cheer for me.
When they were announcing names for the trophies I had no
idea I had done so well. Here are
all my events:
Vault: 1st place
Bars: 2nd place
Floor: 3rd place
Beam: 6th place
All-Around: 3rd place
When my next meet gets here I feel like I can do even
better. Hopefully my legs won’t be
so shaky! MAYBE I will even win another trophy. Fingers crossed! Thanks for reading! xoxo Hope
