Day 159 - 3:39pm, 9 June 2019
It's competition time. Little Miss is eager to show off her trampolining skills and has her heart set on a medal. This is the first year she will be competing in the club competition and she has been warned by us that it is likely that the gymnasts she is competing against will be of a higher standard than the entry level class she competed in last year. Bless her, this does not phase her.
It turns out that she is the only competitor in her age group, which means that she is an automatic gold medal winner. On the one hand, this is good, but on the other, I am disappointed that she doesn't get the chance to win it in genuine competition, particularly given how well she executes the routine.
I watch her warm up with the older girls and her feet are perfectly pointed in an easy box split. She is in her element. She is still in he element as we wait for her the medals presentation and I remind her that being the only person in her class also means that she is automatically last. "Mum!" Today is a good day and nothing phases her.
