Gymtastiks of Moose Jaw sent 27 young gymnastics to their second performance of the year this Feb. 24 and 25, following an initial competition in Humboldt earlier on Feb. 3 and 4.
This second competition took place in Regina and was hosted by the Queen City Gymnastics Club.
The experience includes a familiarization with competing in different spaces and using different equipment, which helps broaden an understanding of the sport.
The young athletes were judged on both technique and execution, and the four areas included vault, bars, beam, and floor events.
“You want to make sure you can do all the skills that could potentially get you that 10 (in later competitions),” explained Jamie Olmstead earlier. Olmstead is the administrator and a coach at Gymtastiks Moose Jaw.
In gymnastics, a white ribbon represents a score of 8.299 or lower, blue represents 8.3 to 8.999, and red represents a score of 9.0 to a perfect 10. All four scores are then taken, added up, and an all-round medal is awarded based on the final colour score.
In the final score, red is equivalent to gold, blue to silver, and white is equivalent to bronze.
"We are very proud of all these gymnasts," Olmstead announced.
