BUDDING gymnast Amanda and her team mates did a fantastic and fabulous stunts in two apparatuses: Rope and Ribbon at the Shah Alam Gymnastic Auditorium Center on 29th June 2008.
It was my first time driving by myself to Shah Alam like pro…luckily my sense of direction is not that bad as HLeng. Location wise is at Seksyen 6, near Pasar Segy. Building was quiet run down…not that impressive….toilets are horrific. What to do... the competition is held there.
Amanda was very tensed up and feelling extremely nervous. Facing all the judges…..and seeing the young energetic gymnast performing so flexibility, apparatus handling, and artistic effect. While most of her peers are focusing on excelling in either artistic or rhythmic gymnastics, the gusty lass with lean body structure has made her intentions clear that she is determined to master and train harder....to be more flexible.
The unsung heroes were the parents and volunteers who offered their unconditional support and rendered their precious time accompanying their kids in the event organized by the Selangor Gymnastic Association and sponsored by MILO. Parents were busy helping out in make-up for their kids and other contestants.
I always feels that Rhythmic Gymnastics is one of the most beautiful of all sports other than synchronized swimming (hybrid of swimming, gymnast & dance) with its competitors being renowned for their grace, athleticism and balletic qualities.
Although Sarina’s rhythmic gymnastics team is ranked only fourth place in the Selangor Club Competition 2008, the team aims to win at least a gold and a bronze at the upcoming Competition coming this November 2008.
There are three apparatus - the rope, hoop and ribbon, but only 3 of these are used in competition at one time. Routines are performed to music and last between 75 - 90 seconds. The music contain changes in mood and tempo, but only one piece can be used in each routine .
Lets enjoy some pics....
