Nationals A1 program 2018
So, here we are. Our last match is over. On Sunday, May 20th, we took part at the 2018 National Championships of A1 program and successfully finished our season. After, unfortunately, the unsuccessful competition last weekend, we had a lot of motivation for the upcoming. This may helped us.
This was our first competition outside the Ljubljana area, but it was not the first time that we traveled together. At 8 am we drove out of Ljubljana and after about an hour and a half, thanks to our driver Nina and coach Hana, arrived in Maribor.
The competition program was slightly different than usual. We were very pleased that the competition for our group already began in the morning. First, there was a competition of pairs/triples in which our seniors Sara and Laura took part. They competed as number 3. The exercise was well performed, with a small mistake that Laura quickly and effortlessly repaired. Luckily, it didn't cost them a medal. In the strong competition, they were ranked 3rd with a score 8,100 (D: 2,800 E: 5,300) which is also their highest score so far.
The category of juniors/seniors in group assemblies started at 1 pm. We had enough time to prepare for the performance. In the past, it was much more important for us, because the exercises with apparatus were on the programme before the exercises were without apparatus, but in the end, it turned out to be even better the other way.
We stepped on the competition carpet as number 5 out of 12 teams. The atmosphere was amazing and we really felt very homey while we were performing. We enjoyed every second of the routine and did our best, if not even more. We really tried so hard, because even during the season we were very grateful for this exercise, in order to reach at least half of our goal in the end. We made a lot of changes, we were improving on every training and we never had problems with absence in this routine.
Since we started competing in A1 program 3 years have passed. Three long years that went as fast as they could. We had a lot of things going on, both pleasant and unpleasant, but after all this time, we finally felt like our work was not in vain. Our effort was finally paid off. The first thing that made us very happy was our final score. Finally, after all these years, we have achieved our enormous goal - a score of 10 points. Despite the fact that the ratings at this competition were higher than usual, this meant a lot to us. We were expecting a better ranking, but we were only 0,1 point behind 2nd place. Our score was 10,200 (D: 4,700 E: 5,500).
The last in line was the category of juniors/seniors in the exercises with apparatus. Since we had already known the results of the first two exercises, we were in a much better mood and we did not have a lot of stress. We knew this was our very last routine together. We have literally been carrying this ball routine for the third year, but we are happy that after two years we still decided to keep it, because in spite of the ups and downs, we managed to make a great progress. We learned from mistakes and defeats, and every time we got better on the carpet.
We performed as the last in our category, where 13 teams competed. We were very relaxed, which greatly helped us with the exercise. Again, big thanks to the audience, you were great! Finally, we managed to carry out the cooperations with which we always had problems. In the end, we decided that this was our best routine in all three years, because there were only two small drops. It was clean and the execution was good. We scored 6,200 (D: 2,600 E: 3,300 B: 0,300) and ended on 2nd place in the category of routines with other apparatus, since it was separated from the ones with hoops.
Thank you, dear friends, for such enormous support. We can not describe how much this means to us. Congratulations also to all the other teams, congratulations to our club for such excellent rankings! We are so proud that we can be part of such a strong and good team. Thank you Maribor for such an amazing day and for well-organised competition. Big thanks to the weather for staying calm until our return. Thanks to our awesome coaches Hana and Aina, we couldn't reach all this without you! Thanks to judges Monika and Erika for checking our routines and giving us a lot of advices! For the end, thanks to our parents for their love and support on every step of our journey.
Love you,
