Saturday Stories Chapter 31!

     Hello Blogger World! (That's gonna be my new intro!) I know I know its been FOREVER again and I'm trying I really am and I hope you understand but I'm trying. So today I'm going to be doing an extremely late worlds recaps in gymnastics news of the day so I think that will be fun. Oh and quick announcement this is my first ever blog typing with the home row which is also extremely exciting! Enjoy!

                    GYMNASTICS NEWS OF THE WEEK!

                     Not very weekly but some what late I'm Sophie reporting live from my house in a tiny town in PA.  This is very exciting because it is extremely late worlds recap.

Worlds Recap

    So here I will tell you about the different finals and podium finishes. First we will talk about the amazing and historic team final. Canada Bronze, Great Britain Silver, and for the six-peat USA for Gold. Not only did the US make history with their six-peat, but GB got their best ever finish in a team final but historic Canada made an utterly amazingly historic moment by winning their first ever medal in a team final. The true star on Canada is obviously the amazing Ellie Black, but some of the other stars are Emma Spence and Sydney Turner. Now a name missing from this team is the great Brooklyn Moors, Brooklyn is currently at UCLA and is on their gymnastics team with fellow world champion, Ana Padurariu, Brooklyn is shooting for Paris but is focusing on NCAA at the moment. After this amazing competition, Ellie was literally on the floor crying after her amazing beam routine. By the way, the fact they got bronze ending on beam is even more unbelievable. Now the stand out performances from GB were obviously the great Gadirova twins both competing floor and doing amazing. Another stand out performance was Alice Kinsella who is the European silver and gold medalist gold on beam 2019 silver all around 2022. Also part of the bronze medal winning team at the Olympics in 2021. For the US I'd say the one that stood out to me the most would be Jade Carey's beam routine. I know, not a very high score but I think it deserved higher but it was truly just considering  she's not normally a beamer that's a pretty high score so I'm proud of her. The other good ones Shilese Jones Bars and Floor both amazing performances and the other one Jordan Chiles Vault, Floor just absolutely impeccable.

    All around stand out performance obviously the great Rebecca Andrade (SAY: quebec ondrad mom's gonna scream when she sees that). She is something else just amazing vault amazing floor amazing everything. Bronze Jessica Gadirova GB Silver Shilese Jones USA and history maker Gold Rebecca Andrade first ever Brazilian to win the All Around title at a worlds. Jessica Gadirova first British gymnast to win an all around medal she made other history (spoiler alert she did it on floor). Shi we all expected to win a medal Alice got 4th Ellie got 5th and Jade got 6th.

    Vault final for me the most exciting and my favorite. Bronze Coline Devillard FRA Silver Jordan Chiles USA and gold finally Jade Carey so amazing for her love to see her win her first WORLD individual gold very exciting also amazing for Coline Devillard of France first French woman since 2009 to do so and Jordan I'm also very happy for first ever individual medal so proud and happy.

    Bars Bronze Nina Derwael BEL Silver Shilese Jones USA and Gold defending her title Wei Xianion (I think that's her name), of China Wei just beautiful pirouettes and release moves amazing performance also from Nina and Shi. Shi obvious favorite as well as Nina. All of  them amazing performances over all.

    Beam Bronze Shoko Miyata JPN Silver Ellie Black (yay!) Gold Kokoro Fukasora JPN. Shoko one of my personal favorites Ellie so happy for proud of Fukasora very exciting 4th Marine Boyer of France and Skye Blakely of the US came in 5th with a fall which is insanity the way this girl can do that it just blows my mind. 

    Floor Bronze tie Jade Carey and Rebecca Andrade Silver Jordan Chiles and Miss triple historian Jessica Gadirova of GB for Gold. Amazing performances for everyone. Other amazing performances were Martina Maggio ITA and Naomi Visser NED. Naomi has the most beautiful turns because of her long legs she's amazing.

    "Hi Mom!" yelled Steph as they got in the van. "Hi Steph, hi girls!" "First we're off to Catsville for Jenny," said Steph's mom. A few minutes later "bye Jenny! We'll miss you!'' They yelled. "Bye girls!" yelled Jenny tying to tug her luggage into her house. Hours later, Steph and Shawna were left. Shawna was staying with Steph for a few weeks because her parents were out in Italy for a work trip. "Hey Steph! You've gotta see this Instagram post!"

Saturday Stories chapter 30!

 So, I'm back with Saturday stories. Hope y'all had a fantastic week! Just so you know, I'm really tired today because I just got back from a harsh soccer game. It was full on just aggressive, it was raining, people got injured, (yes pray for them), not to mention the other team was shoving us a lot so yeah. But we still came out on top so that's good. So this might not be my best writing i've ever done on this blog. So yeah that's all I have to say hope you enjoy!!

               Gymnastics News of the Week

 Gymnasts of the week!

 So we have to give some shout outs to some gymnasts. So first we have, Olympic Gold Medalist and 3 time world silver, it's Jade Carey! Jade is just flat out amazingness! I mean listen to her achievements, olympic GOLD medalist on floor exercise, 3-time world silver medalist (vault twice, floor once) and a world gold medalist (team) she's competed in two world championships Montreal 2017 (two silvers, floor and vault) and Stuttgart 2019 (1 silver on vault and 1gold in the team final) and the most recent olympics in Tokyo and came out golden on floor! This girl is also a gold medalist from the Paris world cup on vault and a silver on beam. Jade is also doing NCAA gymnastics for Oregon State, (go beavers), and has multiple perfect 10s on bars and floor.

Next we have world silver medalist, Elsabeth (Ellie) Black! Now you might be thinking, who's that? Only the most successful Canadian gymnast of all time! 3 time olympian and world silver medalist! I love this girl OMG! She's the 2017 world all around silver medalist! (Yes behind Morgan Hurd) So yeah I know I mentioned her last week when she finally got her first eponymous skill in the code. It's an uneven bars release, it consists of a clear hip circle with counter pike over the high bar with a half turn to hang in mixed L grip (sorry I got the info wrong last week). It was given a G (0.700) rating which is one of the highest ratings on the uneven bars. Yay Ellie!! 

Skill spotlight

 One my favorite skills in the code used to carry the name of former american gymnast and olympic gold medalist, Nastia Liukin. It consists of a front aerial to swing of the leg backwards to arabesque. The arabesque must be held for at least 2 seconds, or else you will get around a 0.100 deduction. Nastia always did it fantastically but now a days, unfortunately, nobody's doing things with arabesques anymore which is sad.

 Chapter 30: WE MADE IT!!!

"Ozzy, Ozzy!" said Nikki. Finally, they had landed. After 12 hours on a plane, they were back in Minnesota. "What huh? we're here?" she replied with a yawn. "Yep" said Nikki. "I'm to tired to go," said Ozzy, still yawning. "Sorry about your luck but we have to" replied Nikki. "ugh fine" said Ozzy, groaning. "Girls, you alive up there?" said Nikki to Jenny and Lay. "yep" "we're good" they said. Finally they exited the plane and ran towards Steph's Mom's van waving with excitement.

Saturday Stories 29 (catch up)

  So, hi everyone. I know its been one eternity since I've posted but now a days I'm a very busy human being and I'm sorry. Later in this I'll explain why it's been so long. And I'm going to do this a little different I'm going to do it like a newspaper so yeah hope y'all enjoy!!:-) 

 

               GYMNASTICS NEWS OF THE WEEK!!

      NEW SKILL!

    Just hours ago Canada's Elsabeth Black submitted her very first eponymous skill in the code of points at the Paris world challenge cup. The world silver medalist created a brand new Uneven Bars release. It consists of a clear hip circle to a straddle release with a half turn to hang in mixed L grip. Ellie did it so cleanly with very little deduction making it so easy for her to claim the Black.

   So unfortunate!

  Now, some unfortunate news bears. Team USA's Shilese Jones fell while trying to create her first eponymous skill in the code. Her skill consists of a stalder root to a Nabieva. (SAY: Nab EE AY va) (NABIEVA: Named after former Russian gymnast Tatiana Nabieva) (2011 world uneven bars silver medalist) (this release consists of a clear hip circle to a release move in a stretched position) But the 20 year old failed to catch the bar and the code states that the gymnast has to successfully perform it in major international competition for it to carry their name in the code of points. But there are many more opportunities for this impeccable athlete to stamp her name in the code. Shi is also committed to Florida for college. Shi sure can fly! 

Fantastical Floor!

Yep its most people's favorite event Floor Exercise. American gymnast Jordan Chiles hit a beautiful floor routine in the qualification round of the Paris world challenge cup. The UCLA rockstar has gotten a perfect 10 on floor in NCAA in the previous NCAA season.

SATURDAY STORIES CHAPTER 29!!!!!!!!!!

 GOODBYE WISCONSIN!

 "All right" said Nikki to Ozzy. "Lets get goin'" "bye dorm!" they both said at the same time. "Lets go meet the girls in the lobby." Then they walked into the elevator and pressed the floor one button. A few seconds later they all found themselves hugging and saying good bye to Mrs. Lanardo (SAY: lan ARD O) and Mr. Compiask (SAY: com PEE ahsk) "we'll come and visit sometime!" then they finished saying goodbye and ran out to the van that was headed to the airport. Jenny and Lay took a selfie together in front of the window for instagram. caption: "Goodbye beautiful ol' Wisconsin. We love ya'" "We're out of Wisconson" said Mishy. "Its Minnesota time baby!" "Oh yeah!" replied Nikki "Lets do this" stated Ozzy 

                       WHY THOUGH?

 So I said at the beginning that I would tell you why I haven't posted in forever. Mainly two reasons:

1:Sports/Covid- so with this I ended up getting covid unfortunately. Luckily 1 I didn't get it bad 2 no one in my family got it from me. So I got it in an after school club at school so a kid in my group got covid and didn't know it and I was the unlucky out of the three that could of gotten it but it was just me. So yeah that November wasn't fun but I did recover in time for Thanksgiving. Sports I always have games on weekends on Saturdays and Sundays and SCW wise I'm trying to get in touch with someone VERY special so you'll have to wait and see who.

2: School/Mental health- one thing you may not know about me is I have anxiety/selective mutism which I've progressed with a lot through the years. School is a big part of my anxiety. but it also takes a lot of time.

So that's really all about that I will try to post as much as I can I just might not always be on schedule.
