I’d previously posted a terribly slow loading Youku video of this routine. Here’s the YouTube version.

7/2 Twists + Front tuck (F) 0.2CV
5/2 Twists + 3/2 Twist (D+C) 0.2CV
Split leap 1/1 (C)
3/1 Twists (E)
3/1 Turn (C)
Switch leap + Switch 1/2 (C)
Double Tuck (D)

3.1 + 0.4CV = 3.5 + 2.5CR = 6.0 D-Score

I dropped in for the first 2 days of the CMU camp on invitation from Head Coach Jerry Reighard.

They have a superb campus facility with 7 beam stations, 6 bar stations, 3 vault stations and a floor exercise practice area with four pit areas. The facility also includes a Resi-Pit (loose foam pit) and a competition setup for each apparatus, an in-ground trampoline area with a Russian “tramp catcher” and a 60ft Tumbl Trak.

Great food. First class medical staff.

Over 115 girls signed up. It looks like Camp may expand to two weeks in 2016.

Though they had girls of all levels the Level 9-10 gymnasts impressed me most. It’s an excellent idea for girls looking for a possible future scholarship to register for College Camps like this. Coaches know you are serious when you make the trip in person to show what you can do.

The Swedish gymnast (from Argentina) learned this dismount easily. And it looks like she could add another half or full twist.

… While it seemed heartbreaking watching the Utes finish .05 behind the Florida Gators, Marsden has no regrets.

You know, never been an outcome kind of guy. I know outcome is important, but that has never been my focus. My focus has been on the process. It hurt because we got that close…” Marsden shared, “So it hurt for about a minute, but then you think, no one really expected us to do that, no one expected us to be there, and we did everything we could. The girls really left it out on the floor, did everything they could, and I believe in what I preach, and that’s all you can expect.” …
