Gymnastics camp is a great environment for kids to do new skills for the first time. In fact, it’s good yearly planning to schedule your kids to do their biggest new skills first at camp.
Yet even if you are a great spotter, as a camp coach you find yourself working with kids you don’t know.
Check out the GymRep camp in Quebec.

Vanessa finished 6th on Floor Exercise at the World Gymnastics Championships. If she had won, … I’d not have complained.
Cick PLAY or watch her on YouTube.
… If we take out Afanasyeva, every other E-score of the final was between 8.883 and 9.1 – not nearly enough to reflect the true differences …
What do the Execution judges want on Floor in 2010?
We keep hearing the new emphasis is on controlled landings. Ferrari had the best landings, yet they awarded her 3rd last for the best HIT routine of finalists.
Floor judging makes no sense to me. This panel should be embarassed at not giving more credit to the former world AA Champion.
And what happened to Raisman? Her E score is 9.016. … How do you get that kind of number? Was it averaged out with the Reference score? … There’s nothing wrong if it was, but I’d like to know if the score went up or down. It might have made a difference in the medal rankings.

Here’s one. The controversial Gold medal routine of the guy I call long Zhang.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
2010 High Bar Champion: Zhang Chenglong, China, 16.166 (7.5/8.666)
The Chinese didn’t even bring defending World & Olympic High Bar Champion, Zou Kai, to Rotterdam, yet they still managed to win this title. It’s hard to believe he beat Epke Zonderland’s thrilling routine, but he made it happen with a D score 2 tenths higher than Epke.
See the rest of the gold medal routines, MAG and WAG.

The British press is going zonkers over Beth.
Tweddle, 25, secured uneven bars gold on a historic day for Great Britain on Saturday as Olympic bronze medallist Louis Smith also picked up pommel horse silver and 19-year-old Dan Purvis collected floor exercise bronze.
It was Great Britain’s most successful day in gymnastics history and it saw Tweddle recapture the title she won in 2006, which made her GB’s first ever world champion, and came a year after she won an unexpected world floor gold in London. …
Beth is now full commited to training through to the London Olympics. She’d be age-27. The headline on that post:
Tweddle: I would swap world title for Olympic medal at London 2012
