Sponsored by Harley Davidson, the first annual Battle in Seattle was a big hit with gymnasts.

Our hosts, official photographers from Timeless Images, and even the judges all got into the biker chick vibe.

At the end of the excellent Level 10 competition Saturday night, Blythe Lawrence of the Gymblog and myself went to congratulate Meet Director John Carney. He accepted on behalf of Gym East Gymnastics and the entire organizing committee.
(Actually, John had lost his voice having had only “1hr and a shower” after setting up the gym all the previous night.)
I’ll post video from the competition over the coming week. This meet attracted excellent gymnasts from across the USA.
