The biggest surprise for me was Jade Carey. You know, the AAer.

The depth of this group of Seniors is fantastic. It might just be the greatest competition I’ve ever watched.

Most impressive was tumbling difficulty. Double doubles were common. You had to compete the first triple double ever to get special attention.

I wouldn’t want to be Tom Forster trying to select the invitees to Worlds Camp. Almost everyone could qualify to a Worlds final.

Simone’s double double Beam dismount

I would have bet money I’d never see this skill in competition in my lifetime.

Greatest Of All Time.
