NATIONAL GRADE 1A team
of 3 members from Richard’s Trampoline Club travelled down to
Chaseside, Bournemouth for the second Grade 1 of the season. The
Grade 1 elite circuit draws the best gymnasts from all over Britain.
Nick
Ledwold didn’t have the best start with his set routine, he lacked the
required form needed at this level, which he knows he is capable of.
His voluntary routine was much better; he had the second highest
difficulty level within his group.
This brought him up to 10th place, but just outside
the finals. However this
was still an improvement on his score from his last competition so a
good result for him. Elliot
Stratton had a disastrous set routine and was unable to complete all of
his 10 skills. However
determined to carry on he completed an excellent voluntary routine,
using the highest difficulty level within his group.
He finished in 2nd place for the voluntary routine.
But when the scores were combined, due to the penalties he
suffered after his set routine, this left him outside of the top 10.
Elliot will be determined to improve upon this at his next
competition in a few weeks time. Michael
Dodson had the best day here. He
successfully completed both routines, and qualified through to the
finals. He narrowly missed
out on a medal in 4th place.
Michael has suffered some disruption to his training recently,
and has now decided to follow his brother and to join Levitation
Trampoline Club, based in Brentwood, Essex.
Everyone at Richard’s Trampoline Club wishes him the best of
luck in his new club.
