Unbelievable to see something like this in the original... I know such competitions from gymnastics, e.g. vault, rings, horizontal bar, parallel bars... just great. I wish your granddaughter lots of fun and success in gymnastics. Two of my grandchildren are also gymnasts :-)) and on the 12th I'll be a spectator at the competition again.<br />Kind regards and thank you for your great photos.Barwitzkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12310927658929040191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-68683284324861434152023-03-01T10:28:57.273-08:002023-03-01T10:28:57.273-08:00oh what a great competition!thos girs are amazing!...oh what a great competition!thos girs are amazing!Good photoes of the event:)))Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16296393166114580709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-13402185425932538742023-02-28T16:26:46.855-08:002023-02-28T16:26:46.855-08:00What a neat post.

Yes, I had a trampoline when I was just a kid. But I never got anywhere close to that high. 😊 I appreciate the info on the Mi’kmaq … the First Nations people of Prince Edward Island.

I remember she had a t-shirt that read something along the lines of "90 seconds, ten tricks and they say hockey is hard". It is amazing to me the height they can reach and the number of flips they manage in the air. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing the photos - it brought back memories of being at the gym waiting for her turn on the trampoline. :)Maebemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706540456819503068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293097948980376506.post-72675726074445183812023-02-27T08:03:53.949-08:002023-02-27T08:03:53.949-08:00Breath taking heights to jump to!

At least, at that level, there is an official video being taken and therefore the lighting is better. <br />A lot of movement in trampoline. You did amazingly well. And I bet your female grandkids would like rhythmic gymnastics a lot as well.<br />I had a daughter and grandkid in gymnastics competition, in case you wondered.<br />Glad the games were well attended, and yeah, lots of grandparents, like, sigh, me.

Sue’s sister was a gymnast into first year university, and we travelled to London, ON from Sarnia to watch her. Then, we brought her to Sarnia for a few days. We crossed the river into Port Huron, MI, for a whopper at Burger King before BK existed here, That was a real treat for her after months of careful eating to maintain her competitive edge.
