Gymnastics Story

Chapter 54

CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR

It's time for bars. Jessica starts prepping along with the rest of us.
"Next on bars is Jessica Anderson from the USA." the announcer says
"You got this Jess!" I tell her
She gets onto the bar and does her routine flawlessly!
"That was Jessica Anderson from the USA on bars"
"Way to go Jess!" we all say
Now it's my turn.
"Next on bars is Sadie Anderson from the USA."
"You can do it Sadie!" my team yells
I get on the bar and do my routine pretty well, I stumble on the landing a lot though.
"That was Sadie Anderson from the USA on bars. Next on bars is Gabby Douglas."
Like me, Gabby just stumbles on the landing. Cat does pretty well and so does Molly.
Hopefully vault will go just as well, if not better.
We all head over to vault and start prepping.
The announcer calls Molly's name and Molly is absolutely flawless! I mean perfect!
Jessica's routine was almost perfect, Gabby's was good, and Cat's was ok.
Now it's my turn. This is my worst event, I've never been good at it.
I stand on the starting line, wait for the signal, then run and flip.
I stumble at the end, but other than that it was pretty good.
We have a break and then floor.
"Hey guys!!" Cat says when she sees the USA men's gymnastics team coming over.
"What's up ladies?" Will asks
"Just waiting for floor, what about you guys?" Gabby replies
"Waiting for beam." Caden tells us
"How much longer you guys have to wait?" Jessica asks
"Half an hour. You guys?" Isaiah told us
"About ten minutes now." Molly told them
"Well good luck ladies!" The boys say as our coaches come over to get us for prep.
"Thanks, you too guys!" We all replied as we followed our coaches.
"Ok girls! I'm not all of yours coach, but I know all of you can do this! I've seen you improve the past few days. You got this girls!" Coach Tina said giving us a pep talk
We all nodded then huddled together.
"Girls, we got this!" Gabby said
"We can do this!" I said
"We can win!" Jessica announced
"Forget everyone who said we couldn't, today right now is our time." Cat told us
"Team USA for life!" Molly finished
We all hugged then started getting into the zone.
"Up next on floor is Caterina Force from the USA!" The announcers said
"Go Cat!" We all shouted before the music started.
She was amazing!
"That was Caterina Force from the USA! Next up is Sadie Anderson!"
I got this. I can do this. Just focus Sadie.
"You got this Sadie!" I hear my team yell
After my dance I ran off of floor and hugged Molly and Jessica.
"That was amazing Sadie!" They exclaimed
Apparently I did good.
Next was Molly, the music started and she went to do her first tumbling pass. She didn't land, well she did but on her arm. Hard.
"Molly!!" Jessica and I scream as Dusty and some paramedics run over to her.
"Molly, what hurts?" Dusty asks her
"M-my a-arm." She replies
They hurry her off the floor and into the medical room.
"Oh my gosh.. I can't go on!" Gabby panics
"Gabby, you can do this! Think about you and doing your routine perfectly! You got this girl, I know you do!" I tell her
She nods her head then gets in her starting position and does her routine flawlessly!
As soon as she was done she ran over and hugged me.
"I told you that you had it! Good job Gabby!"
"Thanks Sadie!"
Now it was Jessica's turn.
"You got this Jess!" We scream
Her routine was one word, perfect.
