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?
I was there lol... she was amazing, she was the one who just stood out as soon as you walked in, she was the clear winner before the comp even started lol.
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.
