Now on the platform...


We have LB. She will be attempting a forward 2 1/2 in the pike position. Degree of difficulty, 2.1.
And based on the pictures above, the judges have made the following assessment:

Approach (not shown) - LB stood in the starting position on the front end of the board. Body was straight, head was erect (particularly amazing given the lack of muscle tone), and heels together just like Dorthy as she prayed "there is no place like home".

Take-off (also not shown) - The hurdle to the end of the board, flawless. Both baby feet hit the end of the board simultaneously; the take-off showed no fear.

Execution - In the passage through the air, LB exhibited a perfect closed pike position through the somersaults (see second image).

Entry- Vertical. But not before giving a wink to the crowd.
Judges Score- 9.7
