My first gymnastics competition!

Published

by Agatha

In October, I competed in a gymnastics competition at my club. This was my first ever competition, and the last time I’d be competing before I joined my new senior advanced class. It was a really great day and I had lots of fun. I got silver on floor with my routine consisting of moves such as a cartwheel, a handstand, and a split leap. I also got gold on vault, where I had to do a handstand flatback. I got gold overall for my age category and even got a special trophy to keep.

I worked really hard for this competition, and the outcome was better than I expected. We also watched some of the senior club gymnasts do their competition floor routines. It was really inspiring, and I hope to be like that as I improve.

We love the outdoors and regularly go walking but it's always to the same places that we already know. It was time to get more adventurous (and more organised!).
