I feel the soft powder under my rough finger tips. I focus my hands on the beam.
I jump up grab it swing up go back down swing then use my feet jump up and off at the same time.
I then lunge for the higher pole, pull my self up and swing down. I do that twice then do a double flip and a spiral in the air, and stick a landing. (Above)
The crowd goes crazy shouting my name "Anastasia, Anastasia" , they repeat.
I go back over to my coach my face is smiling so hard it hurts.
I hug my coach as he tells me Good Job. I then have to wait for my score I end up getting a 6.5 which is really good.And I only did the uneven bars, and already I have a high score.
I did the rest of my routine. And waited for the judges the calculate my score.
I got a 10.9!!!!! That's a really high score. (If it's not I apologize)
My coach congratulated me while the other contestants scores were said.Then the judges said the most important thing "Anastasia Jean Johnson, First Place".
I zoned out I can't believe I did it. I put a cool face on and walk up to the podium.
I smile so widely I think my face is going to crack.
As soon as they let me down I'm going over to my coach and squeal I jump up and down I'm so happy!!!!
After that I end up hitching a ride back with my coach and team mates. The hotel is amazing red carpet material. I plop onto my big bed a lay there soaking up the success.
I finally did it I achieved my dream. I start to think about my mum but shake that thought out of my head.
I get up seeking out the warm comfort of the shower.
I go over and turn the shower on, while I wait for it to heat up I look in the mirror.
I have bright red hair that can be almost impossible to tame in the morning, almost. Bright blue eyes clearer than the Bahama waters. Oh and I'm 17.
I'd like to say I'm somewhat pretty, I have fair skin.
Oh and I have an amazing accent, because I'm just that awesome.I finally get into the shower and just let the water pour over me. I start to relax but then I send a quick prayer up to my father, thanking him for being with me today and giving me strength.
My father and I used to joke about that he was an ex con and he was the Hulk literally. That's what everyone called him so when I fell down he always said he would give me his strength to get back up.
But he left me and my mum when I was 3.
I get out and dry off, I change into one of my pink silk pajamas. I look at my iPhone 5s and see my mum texted me.
She said,"Good Job I watched you on T.V you did great love you -mum"
I love my mum but she's always at work.
I climb into bed and close my eyes the last thing I think of is, I just won the Gymnastic Olympics!!!!!
