Practice makes perfect

Ella's final Gym Comp. for the year went well last Sunday afternoon. This is what all those hours of practicing her moves is for ........

Starting with an elegant, beautifully executed floor routine.....

 Then the scary uneven bars ........

 Not a problem for Ella...

 The Beam routine is the scariest for me to watch ....

 ...especially when she does scissor jumps on a tiny narrow beam at least one metre off the ground .....

 and ending off with a beautifully controlled front flip onto the mat ........

 Ella won a second (in the ACT) for her Vault performance (too fast for me to capture on film).

 and a fifth for her beautiful Beam work...

 Her club came second overall in Levels 5, 6 and 7 (and first in Levels 8, 9 and 10).  This made everyone happy.....

 This is what makes all that hard work worthwhile..
