Olivia is loving gymnastics! She is such a little worrier (where does she get that from?) that this has been a good chance for her to learn things, make friends with new little girls - and have fun! Coach Johnny, makes them laugh each week and is so silly with them.
This past weekend, they let us come into the gym area to see what they have learned!
First event - balance beam! Nice jump!
A little extra support while she does a hand stand.
A proper finish!
The "did I do good?" look...
Next, rings!
Then parallel bars. Not sure what this fancy move is called...
Next, Coach Johnny spun Olivia around...
and around...
and around...
and around...
She laughed and was so dizzy!
Now, her floor routine... or just cartwheels!
Not sure if you saw this in London - the trampoline! This time she was jumping and spinning around. Easier said than done.
Then somersaults all the way down the trampoline.
And finally, after careful points calculations... and some nail biting... Olivia won the Gold medal!
Coach Johnny told them it was really made of chocolate...
Way to go Olivia! Watch out Gabby Douglas :)
Have a great weekend.
We are off to the swimming pool (a real one, not the one in our front yard)!
LOVE LOVE LOVE these photos of Olivia!!! She does love gymnastics and does really well. I went one Saturday to watch and it was so cute to see her smile when she completed her "routines". Johnny is so good with the girls and they adore him. I think some of the mothers do too. Keep up the great work Olivia--it is so nice to see you enjoying something so much...
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Olivia! Maybe we will see her in the Olympics one day! I wish I could watch in person, it looks like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteCoach Johnny is awfully cute...
Congratulations Olivia! It looks like you are having so much fun. Keep up the good work. Which routine do you like the best? I think I would like the trampoline. Have mom keep sending us pictures. We love to see them.
