Gymnastics Meet Part 2 (Double Mini)

My heart raced as the judge again called my name. "Ellie" he said as he smiled. I saluted as usual and started to run. I did a huge hurdle and hopped onto the double mini (for those of you who don't know what it is I will put a picture and video below to show you) Straddle (middle splits in the air) Pike (both legs in front and touching your toes) I dismounted and... I stuck it! That was not much of a surprise because it was my easiest pass. I saluted to the judges and walked off the mat and back in line to do my next passes. I waited for everyone else to go until it was my turn again. I went through the same process, hear my name, salute, run and hurdle. Straight Jump (normal) Tuck Jump (tuck your knees into your stomach) Front tuck. I stuck it but hobbled just a bit. I saluted and walked off the mat. I waited in line yet again and again went through the same process, hear my name, salute, run and hurdle. This was my hardest pass, Straight jump, Pike jump, front pike. I took one big step but I still kicked out. Later on I went to get my awards. (I don't remember the other peoples places) But I got third! I was kind of disappointed because my friend Lindsey W beat me but I was still proud of myself and what I did.


Sorry I did not get a picture of me standing on the podium
