Tonight is the gym team celebration at the training facility - a pizza party, awards banquet, and an all night sleep-over in the gym. R's going. What a great way to celebrate his growth and contribution as a gymnast!
Back on the old, archived blog, I posted an inventory of his routines throughout the year. In honor of his contribution to this year, I'm linking to some of those videos here for THIS blog... sort of a highlight reel for R.
R on the High Bar at State:
Since State, R has been working on a number of new moves for the Level 5 competitions. He's progressing extremely well.
R on the Parallel Bars:
R on the Pommel at State:
Since State, where R achieved three revolutions on the mushroom for the first time in competition, he has improved to as many as seven revolutions in training. Look out for next year!
R on the Rings, MAC Meet
R had an awesome year, both athletically and as a self-manager. Where he is today is much different than where he was to start the year. I couldn't be prouder.
Training continues throughout the summer. Gymnastics is a year-round thing! Given that he's already working on Level 5 skills (and even learning some beginning tumbling!) It'll be interesting to see where he is at the start of school next Fall.
