Meet Nellie O’Malley and Kanali Brooks. They go to Soaring Springs Gymnastics. They are in Level 3, the Fireworks, currently. Today, they are trying out to be on the level 4 team, the Shooting Stars. Only two girls from each of the level 3 classes (there are 4 level 3 classes) will get to join the team. (There are eight girls on each team.)
When the girls arrive at the tournament, they check in. They each have cards to check in with.
Before the girls perform, they do their stretches. They are currently doing the splits.
Kanali has just finished a back flip on the beam and is doing the gymnast salute.
Nellie is going around the bar with speed.
Kanali does her handstand bridge kick-over on floor.
Nellie does a handstand on the vault and lands flat onto the mat stack.
These are today’s judges: Samantha Parkington, Blake Anthony, and Consuelo Marcus.
Here are their scores: Nellie got a 9.5 on beam, a 9 on bar, a 9 on floor and a 9.5 on vault. Kanali got a 9.5 on beam, an 8.5 on bar, a 9.5 on floor, and a 9.5 on vault. Both girls had a total of 37.
Coach Mollie calls out the girls… 8th…
