Hopes Championships in Chicago

Uncategorized

Revolution Gymnastics gymnast Konnor, will be competing at the Hopes Championships in Chicago on Friday, July 24th.

The Hopes Championships are in conjunction with the U.S. Secret Classic which is a qualifier for the P & G National Gymnastics Championships. She is one of only 18 gymnasts in the U.S. who qualified in the 10 – 11 year old Hopes Division. Konnor is also a member of the U.S. Developmental Team where she trains with her coaches at the Olympic Training Center in Houston 9 times a year.

Good Luck Konnor!

Level 8 Vault Change

Important Updates

There has been a change for how level 8 vaulting works. Originally, a level 8 could preform 2 vaults and they would be awarded the higher of the two scores.

With the recent change to the rules, level 8’s will be rewarded the score of the second vault regardless of score. The intend is to increase safety for this level. For example, if a level 8 scores a 9.2 on vault and scratches the second vault, they will be awarded the 9.2. If they were to do the second vault and were to roll out of it and score an 8.7, they would be awarded the 8.7.

If there are any questions, please contact me at wvusag@gmail.com. I will also post the minutes from the national meeting that included this change when I receive them.
