It's Electric The atmosphere at the Stars & Stripes Main Event was electric. You could feel the audience, and they came to see "big gymnastics". The audience was heavily weighted for the home team Team Lightning with many Alumni, Recreational & Team Athletes from Erie Gymnastics in the audience. The big story of the night was Team Lightning's Level 10 Chelsea Cowan. Chelsea is great in the gym, and a great role model for the team. She works hard all the time, but, Chelsea has been known to sucumb to pressure at critical times. "Not Tonight"! Chelsea has been working a new vault into her repertoire. Its a Yurchenko Layout with a Full Twist which has a start value of 10.00. It's good, but she is inconsistent with the landings. As a stratagy, we started out playing safe, with her consistent Yurchenko Layout (without the twist). The athletes compete 2 Vaults, and get to keep the better score. Chelsea nailed her 1st Vault, so with a decent score in the bank, we gambled with her "big vault". The gamble paid off and she crushed the Vault and nailed the landing. The cheers exploded from the stands. The judges posted a 9.35 and the audience approved. Next event was the Uneven Bars. Chelsea has reworked her bars, and with difficulty and combination bonus, her start value for the routine should be a 10.00. That is of course if she makes the skills. In her routine, she has a huge release move that is worth a lot of points. Unlike the other equipment, the warm-up bars were visible to the audience. Chelsea missed the release in warm-ups with a big "crash" to the mats loud enough to get everyone's attention. However with another attempt, she honed in on her timing. Chelsea saluted the judges and jumped for the bar. You could hear the audience hush as she jumped to the high bar for her big release move. Everything slowed down at that moment, as she flipped 12 feet off the floor. When her hands came back securely on the bar, the crowd erupted. Not visible to the audience, a smile broke out across her face as she continued 2 back to back release moves from the High to the Low and back to the High bar. Last thing was her dismount which is also a bonus combination. She did a full twisting giant to an immediate double flip off the bars, and the audience went nuts. The judges posted a 9.15 for a score. Next it was off to the beam. Chelsea is good on beam, and won the State Gold on that event at Level 9, but it is still beam. It is 4 inches wide, and with any amount of nerves, it is so easy to fall off. She however was not phased. She was in what we call "the zone". She starts off with an impressive plange mount which is both a demonstration of strength & balance. Perfect. Next, it was the "Acro-series" which is typically the most nerve wrenching part of a routine, and where most trouble starts with athletes. She went for a very risky triple series which is 3 flips in a row. Bang, Bang, Bang, there wasn't even a flinch. From there it was another impressive bonus dance/jump series - again not a flinch. Then the dismount - a double twisting layout off the beam, and the crowd erupted again. Perhaps the funniest moment of that event was an unofficial official. Team Lightning parents are given official positions with the judges to time the warm-up and the routines. They are to report overtime errors to the judges. Our parent timer was so caught up in the routine that when she landed he jumped up - fist held high and screams "Yessssss!!!" as she landed. He just lost himself for a moment, but it was funny. Last it was off to floor, and if she didn't have anyone's attention before, she had every eye in the audience on her now. She has a brand new floor routine this year, and the choreography suits her well. It is also loaded with huge tumbling that she made great improvements with this year. It was literally flawless. As Chelsea landed her last pass, her face lit up with a smile, and she knew this was her night. The judges posted a 9.50 Chelsea easily swept the division with all Gold and an impressive 37.35 All Around. Although Chelsea stole the stage, she was beautifully accompanied by Level 10 Junior - Peyton Schuller. Peyton almost (as good teammates do) set Chelsea up. Peyton as well made great improvements in the Vault. She had been injured for 3 long years prior to joining Team Lightning. So, she was behind. She worked extra hard to catch up on this event. She sported her new upgraded Layout Yurchenko Vault (9.70 SV) and posted a 9.00 her best effort to date. Bars is Peyton's nemesis, and with her shoulder injury, this took the biggest tool on her come back. Although it is vastly improving, she can be very inconsistent on her skills. She was doing pretty good until a body position error forced her to drop from the bar. That alone sucks your stamina, and she had another fall right after trying to finish. You could here the audience try to help her along, and a collective "aweeee" when she fell. It would have been easy to allow that to destroy her, but Peyton was approaching her 2 strongest events. Peyton jumped on the beam and squashed her disappointment from bars. Peyton is so strong on beam, she has more difficulty points in her routine that pass the required 5 tenths of bonus. The rules however don't allow her to collect more, however the judges to reward this in other areas. Peyton was solid as a brick on beam and posted a 9.1 to win the Gold on Beam. It was off to floor which is also a strength of Peyton's. Peyton, nailed her newly choreographed routine and posted a 9.35 winning the Silver Medal. Despite the low score on the Uneven Bars, she hit 3 of 4 routines giving her enough to come back and take 3rd in the All Around. |
