| Mika & Natalie NATIONAL FINALISTS |
And now.. the hard part.
Hmph. Acro regionals. Not an easy one for us. "you've got no fans, you've got no ground.... YOU WANT SOME??"
HENDON ACRO'LL GIVE IT YA!!
Yes, normally, we don't have any fans, and normally we don't have any ground to win medals or success at the acro regionals. BUT THIS HAD TO STOP.
We quite literally FORCED a bunch of unwilling parents and siblings to join our 13hour spell of gymnastics frolicks and shenanigans!!!! We even invited a random extra coach to join us.
The journey there was pleasant, and quiet, after a few shouts of "STOP TALKING" and "GO TO SLEEP OR YOU'LL BE SORRY" echoed throughout the hendon acro tour bus (why can't we call it that???). But then we arrived bright eyed and bushey tailed. Parents were sent to the stands and gymnasts claimed a section of the warm up room to themselves. Crafty.
We first had our Grades 1, 2, and 3's competing in the morning. Some partnerships competing for the first time! Special shoutout to Sam & Romilly for achieving a 26.67 score in their first comp!! All other partnerships produced routines with some shakes and wobbles. However, once again our Mika & Natalie stole the show winning their GOLD medal, qualifying through to NATIONAL FINALS!!! Well done!
The afternoon saw Grades 4, 5 and 6s competing. Big shoutout to Layla & Mercedes for producing a routine with 8.933 artistry!!! Also Yunus & Tara performed cleanly to take a SILVER medal, qualifying them through to the Inter Regional National comp in southampton! Also going through were our new Grade 5 trio of Alix, Cassie and Sofia!!! (Not to mention Sofia had to learn a back somersault in 2 days... what a very special gymnast she is!) Very well done to all!!!
