I am not a very "crafty" person. So when Samantha asked me to please wrap a tape around her gymnastics hoop, I panicked. Like suddenly, I didn't know where to get the tape and how to wrap the tape around the hoop.
Okay.
I am exaggerating.
I just didn't know that I would end up doing this.
I actually wanna make sure I was doing it correctly, so I asked Coach Sarina where to get the tape.
"In Daiso can get."
Oh yeah, silly me. LOL.
Anyways, since I was in MPH the other day, I checked out some tapes and found glittery purple (Samantha's favorite color) and silver, each piece had 10 yards. I didn't know how long I needed so I bought two for each color.
Actually, one roll for each color is enough. In fact, it's more than enough.
I tried using using super glue at first, but after I wrapped the tape and tried using, it came off easily. So I went to buy double-sided tape and it worked!
(UPDATE: Talked to Coach Sarina and she explained about doing the non-required steps. She didn't have to do it, unless she did it properly. If she didn't do properly, it would be deducted from her score.)
Back.
With a blast!
I wasn't able to update Samantha's gymnastics journey with Coach Sarina, the last season. My apologies for that.Last year, for her first ever classification competition, she got silver medal for rope routine and bronze medal for free hand routine.
Came November, for year-end classification competition, she did two apparatuses, the ball routine and the rope routine.
She just got up from a bad fever that time. She dropped the ball two times but was able to do the extra element which wasn't required, so she scored 7.1 out of 10 and got bronze.
For her rope routine, she also missed her rope a couple of times and got 6.9 for a score.
I didn't put much pressure on her coz she was sick. I was proud that she could still make those scores.
Last June, 2015 was another round of SRGC Classification Competition and she did two routines, free hand routine and rope routine.
I had high hopes for free hand routine this time as she did 3 extra elements which only a few of them did, but was dismayed to see her score 6.30 out of 10. I didn't understand.
But hey, life moves on.
The most important part of this journey is, she is enjoying herself. She made good friends with her gymnastics classmates and she was happy with her performance.
Here's her youtube video of 8th SRGC Classification Competition, free hand routine.
I have been studying her movements and she had a few awkward beginning steps. But I thought the three extra steps which weren't required would be a plus points.
Anyways, this has yet to be cleared. Will be talking to her coach, Sarina, to find out. We want to be better so we will definitely need to learn from our mistakes.
Suffice it to say, we will keep on.
#Goforgold next time, Samantha!
Here are some photos I took during her warm up:
