Perhaps more sponsors for the achieving gymnasts and a little more media coverage would help?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-80896529366721623312009-07-13T15:39:24.591+10:002009-07-13T15:39:24.591+10:00I was in a way expecting the event to not that fla...I was in a way expecting the event to not that flash because like wolfy said, it's the year after the olympics.

We'll never compete with the big nations until we learn how to develop our juniors more rapidly. I don't know how - I just think we delay the necessary competitive progress. <br /><br />Of course, then we have to worry about burn out, etc. :-(Wolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18223478762723644411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-78587141472788330902009-07-13T13:54:23.683+10:002009-07-13T13:54:23.683+10:00It seemed she also was trying to connect switch ri...It seemed she also was trying to connect switch ring-back tuck. <br />This was the whole routine in theory:<br /><br />-her mount <br />-front pike<br />-ff ff layout<br />-switch leap + back pike<br />-switch leap 1/2 <br />-wolf jump+ split jump<br />-2.5 wolf turn<br />-front aerial + front tuck <br />-switch ring + back tuck<br />-ff ff double pikenade00noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-23958751098956646332009-07-13T12:40:42.869+10:002009-07-13T12:40:42.869+10:00good to see georgia made it to perthgood to see georgia made it to perthAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-91059730961329935532009-07-13T11:07:32.599+10:002009-07-13T11:07:32.599+10:00I have read the IG article and the only thing diff...I have read the IG article and the only thing different from the GA article is that it states that Victoria was the only state to field a full team.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-73508110499495391682009-07-13T10:54:32.219+10:002009-07-13T10:54:32.219+10:00I have a video of the routine bit not enough techn...I have a video of the routine bit not enough technical knowlege to work it out.

I know she added in a bhs bhs layout combo, front pike and has brough back the switch half but 7.2 still seems ridculously high even with her retaining the aerial front tuck and bhs bhs double pike dismount. for anyone who saw the routine can yuo shed some light?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
