[kenziebuggymnast1]

Sage is my FAVORITE gymnast on youtube!!!!! she is soooo amazing, and i have been trying so hard to hold my handstand that long! :)

[changetheraine]

Only 2 years? She is SO strong!! Everything she had to do took so much strength. The rope and the handstand wowd me the most!! How much training did she have to do for this? She must be really happy :):) She's awesome!

[Jenna7198]

whats TOP testing?

[RaChElLuVs2ChEeR1]

wow...that handstand was REALLY long!!!

[cwaykid2]

What is TOPS??

[fireboltgymnast]

@cwaykid2

TOPs (Talent Opportunity Program), is a talent search/educational program for female gymnasts ages 7-10 & are evaluated on physical abilities at the state or regional level. From there, athletes are invited to participate in the National TOP test that is conducted in the month of October where they will be evaluated on the same physical abilities tests along with some basic gymnastics skills. Athletes are then invited to participate in the National TOP Training camp.

[kirarocks29]

[hannahkaylin2513]

You r so AMAZING! How did you go up that rope so fast! The hand stand was so good you held it for so long! How long have you been doing gymnastics?

[supergymnastsage]

@hannahkaylin2513 She's been in gymnastics since April of 2009.

[123nickiv]

@supergymnastsage What's up with your youtube account???

[prettypurplepal]

[thegrizwalds4ever]

could i do that i am a level 4

[Annabbyish]

You are really good! Great job sage!

[islandgirl3334]

omg how did she hold that handstand for so long?

[supergymnastsage]

@islandgirl3334 60 seconds is how long they have to hold it for TOPs testing.

[AndromedaAiken]

Well done!! This was completely awesome!

[roseho2010]

GO SAGE!!!

and am i the only one who hears 'Rolling in the Deep' in the background? =D

[Huskyowner2007]

Good job! Go USA!!! C'mon Olympics 2016 and 2020! The nation is proud of you! Keep on going!

[jellybeanandmg]

Sage is so good no great she should be in elite I watch her videos all the time

[queenoolzy]

her handstabnd was awesome

[canyousayscrewed]

She's my new Idol, she's extremely good!! Congrats!!

[cheerislove0607]

does every gymnast have to do this?

[supergymnastsage]

@cheerislove0607 No, not many of them do TOPs.

[gymnast4eva11]

your an AMAZING gymnast!!

[katenotkatie87]

I heard a Shane Co. commercial in the background! Are you from OR?

[prettypurplepal]

Do you have to do this to compete at any level

[supergymnastsage]

@prettypurplepal Noooo, lol. This is something completely different than competing levels 3-10 :)

[horserider113]

@prettypurplepal no TOPs is to train them towards the Olympics

[midnightdream77]

O.O HOLY CRAP SHES FREAKING STRONG!!!! GOOD JOB SAGE!

[AmazingAGdolls]

wow she is amazing!!!

[smurfetta2011]

YOU ARE AMAZING HOPE YOU DO WELL

[smurfetta2011]

so she made it?

[supergymnastsage]

@smurfetta2011 yeah, to national testing...

[GymMonkeyy18]

Most people don't understand how hard each of those skills are. If you say, "Oh, thats easy," CLEARLY you can't do it right. Sage is amazing, and I don't know one person at my gym that is as good as her.

[otteralltheway77]

yeah that always sucks! so did she end up making it to the ranch for the camp? team a or b? it's such a great experience

[supergymnastsage]

@otteralltheway77 national testing isn't for a few weeks...

[otteralltheway77]

also you say that she is 8 years old but she is doing the age 9-11 testings?

[supergymnastsage]

@otteralltheway77 No, she is 8 and turns 9 on Dec. 30 so she has to test as a 9 year old since she turns 9 two days before cut off. If she was born Jan. 1st, she'd be testing as an 8 year old. So basically she got a crappy TOPs birthday and is competing against girls up to a year older than her...

[otteralltheway77]

i did tops when I was younger too. I made it too texas all three times and then the camp two times. I am now 14 years old and a level 10 gymnast but Sage looks like she is gonna go far! Just dont push her too much because in my TOPs years I felt overworked and wanted to quit at such a young age but obviously I overcame it(:

[Tiamaes]

good job sage

[greenpurple21]

did she make it?

[supergymnastsage]

@greenpurple21 yeah, she made nationals, but testing isn't for a month.

[AAUchamp55]

what is TOP's? do they make a special team or something?

[supergymnastsage]

@AAUchamp55 Yeah, they take the top 250 high scorers and then test them all.  The highest 50 make "A team" and the next highest 50 scorers make "B team".

[cherrygirl016]

wow she must get so sore all the time

[sophieboog13]

Sage is AMAZING! Have you found the results yet? :D

[az60234]

im in gymnastics to!

[TheHorseyGymnast]

Great job, Sage! Have results come yet? And it must've been awkward to be tested by her old coaches... She did awesome!!!

[Katelinanator]

wow amazing job sage! i was wondering i know how to do a regular press handstand just from my feet,but i cant do it from how sage does it...any tips?? thank you

[jadiethebear]

hi this is jade sophies friend and sage is sophies friend

[1agwebkinz]

wow that handstand made the vid long but good job

[gymnastfreak921]

[auburnfamily4]

Through this whole video i was thinking "dern the little girls amazing"!

[smurfetta2011]

do you know if she made it yet?

[supergymnastsage]

@smurfetta2011 Not yet, but should be soon...

[ipowergymnast7]

What gym does she go too?



[gymnasticsgirl4729]

She's awesome! Do they not do pull up anymore for TOPS?

[supergymnastsage]

@gymnasticsgirl4729 No, they don't...I didn't know that they used to do them for TOPs

[supergymnastsage]

@SaraPrincess112 TOPs is like a talent search for young gymnasts in the USA so that National Staff can watch them for the future basically...

[supergymnastsage]

@SaraPrincess112 She doesn't go to that gym anymore, but has to test there for TOPs...do you know of that gym?

[supergymnastsage]

@deecee4ever probably mid August

[lauraITT]

wow - talented kid!

[skittlesChick22]

AMAZING ive always wanted to be a TOPs gymnast

[CharlotteDeAguirre]

GOOD JOB SAGE,YOU'RE AMAZING!! :)

[CharlotteDeAguirre]

GOOD JOB SAGE,YOU'RE AMAZING!! :)

[1GymnasticsRocks]

Superhero strength Sage!  Color me impressed!

[supergymnastsage]

@SuperTuityFruity thanks!!

[08kula]

what exactly did she get deductions on? her face was so red after finishing holdig her handstand and after doing her straddle press handstands! she is so muscular too! please reply!

[supergymnastsage]

@08kula Deduction on the last press handstand and the third cast for not going into full handstand.

[08kula]

@supergymnastsage Well she still did great! was she in Camp A last year? please reply!

[HahnTWProductions]

@supergymnastsage I look at the TOPs website and it says: "7-8 year old •Two points are awarded for each successfully completed cast 45 degrees or above •One point is awarded for any cast between 90 and 45 degrees"  so did she get deducted for something else? She's an amazing gymnast and I hope she makes it into TOPs

[jesstar05]

@HahnTWProductions no because hers were 45 and above...

[xGymnastAnastastiaxx]

Wow, can't believe she got deducted... Anyway, Sage reminds me of Elise Feddema. They're both amazing and passionate at what they do. The only things different about the two of them are that Sage is a redhead, Elise is blonde, and their ages are a few years apart. Otherwise, similar!!! :D

[supergymnastsage]

@xGymnastAnastastiaxx I'll have to look her up :) Sage has brown hair...maybe it looks red in the video, but it's brown...

[xGymnastAnastastiaxx]

@supergymnastsage Oh. That's probably it. :)

[SiofraKarol]

She is so amazing! I can't believe she got deducted in her press handstands, they're very picky aren't they.

[supergymnastsage]

@SiofraKarol Yep!

[The12345lauren]

Sage is going to the olympics for sure!! She is more then amazing!!! She's unbelievable!!!! WOW!!! :D xxx

[KJLeMaster6]

Great job Sage!!! Looks like she will be going to National Testing again this year. Hope to see you there!!

[supergymnastsage]

@KJLeMaster6 She hopes to make it and is excited to meet her "youtube friends" like Kelsey! ;)

[jawkneekim]

That was a ridiculous amount of stalter presses... WOW!!! So impressed. :)

[KTgymnasticsfan]

@supergymnastsage i bet it would be!!!!!!!!! he was being all nice to her!!!!! but she did amazing!!!!!!!!!

[usbrit5050]

Just curious how soon was it into her gymnastics that you realized it was going to be hard core Olympic training? :)

[supergymnastsage]

@usbrit5050 She started training TOPs a little over a year ago...so about a year after she started gymnastics.

[2princesn1princess]

well done, top effort Sage

[edwardcullen885]

TEAM SAGE!!! TEAM SAGE!!! TEAM SAGE!!! TEAM SAGE!!! TEAM SAGE!!!

[gymfreak2882]

whoa go sage!

[amigozz4l]

Do they score her? If so didn't she get a perfect score?

[supergymnastsage]

@amigozz4l Yes, they score her...I know she got some deductions on her press and a cast to handstand that didn't hit full handstand.

[xGymnastxElliex]

omg,her handstands are amazingg!(:

& she's so strong & flexible(:

[Fujiichannel]

Incredible Sage! I'm sure she'll make A team!

[theamazingjaide]

I bet that was awkward for her...But she did wonderful! Like always!! :D

[mustlovejumping]

Great job Sage!!! You did really well!! Keep us posted on how she does :]

[bhmzo]

I love how Sage always weres ribbons

[supergymnastsage]

@AlixPelletier They go to camps at the Olympic Training Center, it's basically just a way for the National Staff to scout young talent that they will keep an eye on for the future to see if they like them, etc...

[sappleapple101]

Great job sage! Is she testing as an 8 yo? Also is this her first time doing Tops? If it is thats amazing!

I'm sure she will make the A team

[mindyschocolate]

Wow, that was awesome! I had to hold my breath during her last press handstand. Loved the expression when she was done, she was thankful, lol.

[lilgymmie7]

FAN tastTIC Miss Sage!! You will rock TOPS that's for certain!!

[shakeitupfan99]

what is this test for?

[supergymnastsage]

@shakeitupfan99 The high scorers of TOPs testing make it to National Testing at the Olympic training center...at nationals, they test them again and the top 50 make the TOPs A team and the next 50 make the TOPs B team.

[swimlikethewind7797]

[supergymnastsage]

@swimlikethewind7797 read my answer above :)

[swimlikethewind7797]

[yecatsb]

great job Sage!! I believe in you :)

[thecheeranator]

woah! she is soo good at handstands! do you have any tips on how to hold a handstand for ages?? (:

[supergymnastsage]

@thecheeranator She practiced with her toes barely touching the wall to build up her arm and shoulder strength.

[gymnast5565]

@supergymnastsage wait, what do you mean by that? I'd like to know too

[supergymnastsage]

@gymnast5565 It's basically just a way for the National Team staff to scout young talent.... for them to find girls to keep their eye on for the future.

[gymnast79tinkerbell]

@thecheeranator use your fingers, like really push with them. and squeeze everything.

[gymnast79tinkerbell]

@thecheeranator use your fingers, like really push with them. and squeeze everything. you can see her fingers fold and move, they help you balance.

[GMRowed]

@thecheeranator Strength.... Lots and lots of shoulder strength,
