Round-off handspring, Arabian, and a layout. Come on, Mads. Go! The power rushed through my veins as I landed on my feet." Nice! Keep that body tight as you twist." said Coach Servia.
I got to the back of the line and checked the clock. 12:47. 13 minutes.We did over-splits and I talked to Nicola, which we call Nick." I love this thrill I get during twists!" I said. "It's the thrill of gymnastics!" Nicola laughed and asked how long I have been doing gymnastics. "Let's see..... uh, wow! 12 years! I started when I was 3. I'm never going to be 'done' with gymastics. I will be 92 and walking around my house on my hands!"We both laughed.
My coach stopped me after practice. She said,"Hey, so the gym has chosen 6 people to go to the Olympic tryouts and you're one of them. They will send you a card and tell you deeper details. Congrats!" I grinned the whole time and beamed for the rest of the day. My entire family will be elated! I knew my hard work would pay off. But wait, it hasn't happened yet, has it?
