WOW. I can't get over how flexible she is! That was CRAZY. Every time she did one of the flexibility moves I literally gasped. She's amazing.
Are these really compulsory routines? I thought compulsory routines were all the same for their level, but I thought I had heard different floor music in the backround. Anyway, if they are indeed compulsories, why the hell don't we have ones like these in the US?! I would SO much rather have routines like these than the ones we have!
Very very nice indeed: she looks to me to be quite a bit taller than the other girls, and that makes for beautiful elegant graceful lines. She looks like a rhythmic gymnast, her build. Her flexibility is definitely her best quality isnt it?
Yes, I would love to know as well: I myself cannot see any obvious penalties; lack of splits, not holding handstand long enough, not showing enough back flex, I cannot see anything to take away at all. I would love to see the judges sheets:)
Why isnt she a rhythmic gymnast haha! she is so flexible! Catherine is definately someone to watch out for in the future! Congrats to her! ... and i take it that girls floor music wouldnt work!
No we are at a different club ... going for a record lol. I am really lucky she has settled so well and so quickly and has a great group to work with and a good rapport with her coach. She was very happy at Heathrow so it was a bit daunting having to move to another club but it seems to be working out.

I know! The US Compulsory routines have no grace involved! Unlike the British gymnasts where grace is a real factor!

@GymnasticsAddict i think its only the moves that are compulsory in UK but in US routines are set i think thats how they are different x

She is the only gymnast I've seen perform the handspring to 1 correctly so far! Most just do a fast forward walkover!
Lovely routines - she looks very well prepared.
