After many years trying to get myself to Junior Olympic Level 10 National Championships, I’m here.
Watching two sessions of podium training today, the quality of gymnastics is excellent. It’s amazing the depth of gymnastics in the USA. Level 10 is as high as you can go before entering into Elite or NCAA.
All the College coaches are here. First year gymnasts are just getting on to the NCAA radar. in my mind, the sooner you can get to JO Nationals, the better you compete, the better are the chances of landing a good place on a College team.
Vault looked strong. Bars mixed. Some brilliant work but many Level 10s would tell you bars is their weakest apparatus. Surprisingly few Pak saltos. Most are still using shoot 1/2 from high to low with conspicuous deduction.
Tumbling is quite good. Beam is beam, as always.
