Elite CoP Changes

1. Double tuck is now a D instead of a C. This is good news for me because my double tucks are better than my pikes.
2. The composition requirement for a turn on beam (worth .5) no longer has to be on one foot, according to The C Score it can even be in handstand. HECK YES! this is probably the most exciting change to me personally because i hate full turns.
3.The requirement that dance passages on floor consist of three elements has been removed. We’re back down to two.
4. Varga dismount removed from CoP

From C Score:

Difficulty-value changes:

* 4/1 turn on floor: D to E
* 2/1 turn with leg in scale (Memmel) on floor: C to D
* 2/1 turn with leg at horizontal on floor: C to D
* 2/1 Wolf jump on floor: C to D


I'm liking this!

what are your thoughts?

JO Code Changes for 2010

If you didn't know my beam coach, Neela Nelson, is part of the Women's Technical Committee. And I was trying to get some info out of her today so this is what I have.

Level 7's are restricted to A's and B's only
Level 8's are restricted to A's and B's as well? I just know that they cannot compete[on floor] 1.5 twists, double fulls, {on beam] switch leaps, straddle jumps, no back handspring layouts.
Level 9's vault start values increase, I know that a layout yurchenko is a 10.0 and a pike is around a 9.7-9.8. They are also restircted to A's B's C's and ONE D[neela fought for a long time to let them allow a D so everyone thank her]
SO my thoughts...

Level 7 stuff is fine its basically the same[i think]
Level 8- really disappointed. seriously no switch leaps? no double fulls? come on people
Level 9 the vault value thing seems like a good idea. but only ONE D????? that is so stupid, no room for originality, and it makes it harder to move up to level 10 where you are expected to have 2-4 D's.

So thats all i could get out of her.

She doesnt like this but she says its because they thought that the reason people were quitting is because gymnastics is too hard. PSHHHH!!!! what do they expect?


Thats all for now.

Wrist

Sorry for not telling you but I ruptured my growth plate in my wrist.

And let me tell you how hard it is to type with a brace on, like seriously.

OKay so the whole story is that on Tuesday Lisa put a new pass in my floor routine. Its a front handsping 1.5 twist[rudi] to a flic lay. I did a bad rudi and landed with my wrist under my head really hard and so yeah, the result is some time out of gym.

Sorry for the briefness, if you have any specific questions just message me on youtube.

some deep thinking?

Im really bored.
I missed gym today because of my wrist[ill explain laterrr]

Okay so today i came across this thing in my silly little head...

It seems as everything is chalky, but her heart.

Lets explore what this could mean.

1. So she puts all the hard work in, hence shes chalky, but her heart isn't into gymnastics.

2. SHes all beat up, like chaly and stuff, but her heart will never forget its love for gymnastics.'


what do you think it means?

have any other meanings??
then comment fool!



peace

2. Sam and Bridget are teammates! This could be great, two friends who went to the olympics together training at the same gym! eep! soo exciting.
