Saterday April 10th the 2nd qualification competition was held. Today we would know which
gymnasts are going to compete at the Dutch National Championships.
The day started with the gymnasts of category 3A. The competition was, just like the first one,
won by Fleurine Menijn (Badhoeve). Michelle Tjon from Pax managed to get silver this time, after
winning the bronze medal last time. If she continues like this she will get gold on the next competition;
nationals :P. The two other gymnasts from Pax, Tessa Rietbergen and Demi Aarts ended 4th and 6th. Demi
even managed to score thirth with her free hands routine!
The junior competition was really exciting. Valerya Boeravkina (Pax) was leading after two routines but
then she had a lot of mistakes in her ribbon routine and scored only 12.033 points. She had a very good
clubs again (18.082) but it was not enough to beat Sharai Echteld (Badhoeve); the total difference over 4
routines was 0.002! Roxanne Mooijekind ended 4th and Christel Grimbergen 6th in this competition.
The last competition was the one for the seniors. Anna Pobokova wasn't competiting, she's suffering an injury
I don't exactly know of what kind but her manager Jos Gubbi told my mother that she's able to train normally but
that something doesn't feels good. For me, the first two routines (ball and hoop) went really good, but I had too much
mistakes in ribbon and clubs. Maaike did pretty good, unfortunately she missed some artistic in ball and she didn't have
enough music to perform all her difficulties. I ended 1st and Maaike 3rd, Tessa and Melanie ended 7th and 8th.
According to the results of this competition and the first one, all Pax gymnast will participate in the National Championships!
