My DD(9) is a competitive gymnast, level 4. She had her first meet of the season yesterday and walked away with 1 third place on beam(8.8), 1 second place on bars (9.2) and 3 first place ribbons on vault(9.5), floor (8.7) and ALL AROUND (36.1). This was all against 3 other teams, one of which is considered the best team in the state, also against 20 some odd other girls in her level and age group. She has worked her little tushy off for this and I couldn't be prouder of her, nor could she be any happier, unless of course she takes the title at Regionals. :D
I did stay on theme with the first photo and PSed out her coach because well see for yourself.
It is not the best job in the world you can definitely see what I have done but if you weren't looking hard I don't think you would really notice.

All photos taken on ISO 1600 and shutter speed of 1/50-1/60.

Sans coach
And then just some fun shots of her on beam, bars, floor and just being a goof.
You run like girl.
You jump like a girl.
You swing like a girl
You fly four feet over a bar ten feet off the ground
Like a girl
Walkover with super straight legs
Jumping for her mount on bars
Goofball, I swear I think I have the exact picture from every meet she has ever been in.
So sorry for such a long, picture heavy post but I had to share. :)
