Isla the gymnast star!

On the 9/10 of April and the 23/24 of April I was competing for GGI Rhythmic Gymnastics Club.

The first competition was in Lincoln, just outside of Christchurch.

The team and I drove up in a van on the 8th of April.

The next day, we competed. I am in Level 6, but my friends and I had to watch the Level 5s and 7s compete before I competed.

We competed for about 4 hours.

A few weeks later, on the 23 of April, the next competition started. My friends and I watched the Level 8,7 and Stages compete.

Later that Saturday night, I was a runner ( judges helper ) for the Level 10s and the International gymnasts.

On Sunday afternoon, I competed in Level 6.

My routines were hoop, ball and ribbon. I did ok.

I even came 8th in ball! ( it doesn’t sound that amazing but I was really proud of myself )

After we competed we got some photos and the tiring weekend was over!
