Oh, and I was at this meet with my girls from Bay City Gymnastics!

@mseastbay I remember you and your girls. Hope all is well with your team. Unfortunately Cassie has been in a long recovery when she destroy her elbow. Good news she has full use of the joint back, but she is slowly strengthening and getting used to doing punches etc on the floor just to get used to impacting on it again. She's only 12 right now and should be able to train back up to her level 7 but we want to take it slowly. Take care and thanks for the clarification!

awesome job!! the only thing is on bars u did a kip instead of a glide swing ,land, and then pull over.

@crazygymnastbanana That's a long standing discussion on this thread. The Kip in the AAU in Florida Level 4 was an optional start. The routine with the glide swing only starts with an overall value of 9.5. With the Kip the overall value of the routine is a 10.0 But of course if they miss the kip and have a "technical" fall then that's a 5/10 deduction. Most level 4's here don't do it unless they are confident of it as the deduction negates the benefit if they miss it! Thanks!!

Hi everyone who has still viewed this video. Cassie is still recovering from her catastrophic Elbow injury, but still plans on continuing her gymnastics. We are hoping she goes back to full training this coming spring. Congratulations and good luck to all of the gymnasts out there. Be proud of yourselves! This is a very hard sport, and the work involved is to be commended to you all.....Cassie's mom

not being mean but now did she get 1st. aa when she got 2nd on two events and didn't place on floor she did very good and love your video

[ztwench]

@mammabutterfly75 Her floor score was only off from placing by like .005 or something (so long ago I don't remember specifically now) but she scored very high in her vault, which helped to balance, so her all around score just squeaked her into 1st. It happens quite a bit in this world. That's why we always encourage the girls to not let one bad event ruin the day for them, you never know what can happen. You can hear me in the bg on the final 2, when we all saw she had done it.

how old r u

[mseastbay]

Actually, if the gymnast performs her kip and makes it, the max deduction the judges can take is .3, so it always benefits them to try, if they have a kip. If they miss it, the routine starts as if they were starting over... From a 9.5.
