After a couple of weeks of joining the "Little Sparklers" program at the local Gymnastics center, I graduated to the next level and although I may not be dressed as fancy as everyone else, I think I understand the general concepts involved here. Balance, focus, strength and poise.
1 foot in front of the other, hands to help my balance and then my dismount....
BIG FINISH!
Yes, I agree with you Phillip. The stretching and "bridge" techniques we have learned certainly made your arms longer. And look at this; I can bend my leg and rest my foot on my knee like the grown-ups do!
Yeah, so I definitely see myself going for the gold by the time I'm 14. I'm thinking perhaps wowing everyone with my Inverted Iron Cross to Triple Lindy dismount on the "rings" competition. I've been perfecting my floor routine and I must say, I see some promise in that as well. Then again, I always wanted to be a race car driver.
BIG FINISH!

Edie,
Uncle Gordon will be happy to teach you the more important sports, and you can leave those silly gymnastics behind.
Bocce, croquet, disc golf, badminton, horseshoes... you know... leisure sports.
