Team Voranc

From the 19th to 21st May was held the European Championship in rhythmic gymnastics. Three of our girls - Nina, Zala and Maja travelled all the way to Budapest, Hungary, to be a part of this spectacle. As soon as it was possible, they applied for volunteering and were right after that accepted. They were really looking forward to it, because they had never been to such big event before. Our journey started on Wednesday, the 17th May, when we boarded the train in Ljubljana at 9 am . 6-hour long drive to Budapest lasted forever, but we weren't very bored. At 5:30 in the afternoon we arrived at the railway station Budapest-Deli. After we found our transport to the hostel, we were sent to our apartment from there. Then we took a subway to the volunteer center of the competition, where we were given t-shirts and information for the next few days. Most of the volunteers were from Budapest, only a few of us were from abroad, but really a small number. We had some problems, because...

Last weekend was held the second Championship competition in A1 program, organized by Gimnastično društvo Vrhnika.We were super excited of our performances, because last results were very surprising and we were hoping for something like this or even better this time. We arrived early because of our usual hair and make-up routine. After we got ready, we went out to the schoolyard and relaxed for a bit. The competition for our category started at 3 pm. First seniors competed with their free routine Golden boy and made a really good job. They placed 5th out of 12 teams with the score of 9,200 (D: 4,050 E:5,150). We were all really excited about it, because the score was much higher than previously and the routine was more clean, but still had some small mistakes we'll try to fix until the next competition.  Click here for the video! Ball routine went a little worse, because they had few small drops and the routine overall wasn't at it's best. Lower execution brought t...

Today we competed at the long-waited 2017 National Championship in C program of rhythmic and aesthetic group gymnastics. Unfortunately , we had witnessed one of the girls small injury at training on Thursday, but still managed to make good routines. In the end, we weren't really satisfied with our agg performance, because we improved a lot in a previous month, but it probably wasn't our best day.  First we need to thank our coaches for a wonderful choreographies this year (and of course previous too) and for everything they do for us. Also welcome our new coach assistant Diana, who is with us on trainings for only two months now and is already a big part of Voranc family and congratulations to our coach Aina for her first year of judging, we're so proud of you. And also the biggest thank you goes to coach Hana for always standing by our side, facing our problems and difficult days, encouraging us and mostly believing in us. Thanks to everyone who contributed ...

Okay so after a while, we have decided to post one more thing that happened in April. It was now the 3rd time in a row that Team Voranc went to MTM (International Tournament Ljubljana). This year only three girls (Mia, Neža and Maja) decided to go and it was great.  The tournament started in Saturday, but girls volunteered there only in Sunday. Mia was a hostess and the other two measured the length of routines. An event was again very well organized, the atmosphere was amazing and the competitors were performing wonderful routines.

Last Sunday, April 9th was held the first Championship competition in A1 program in Modern Olympic and national Gymnastics centre Ljubljana. We were pretty excited about it, but didn't expect any good results - it was more just a performance for us. Group picture outside the hall We came there around 12 o'clock and made our famous hairstyles - two dutchbraids into a bun. We had issues about our make-up, because the dark one didn't realy suit us at the previous events, so we decided for something new. We used gold glitter eye-shadow, mascara and eyeliner. It looked well together with the golden-blue leotard. Also our new swarovski on the back of the leotard came very well to the fore. Weird one xD but here you can see our make-up... We didn't take much time for practicing, because we didn't want to. After warming up and stretching, we had a short physical preparation and then went to the competition carpet. First competed senior group in the category of...

Unlike previous posts , who talked only about preparations and trainings, today we will speak about the first competition of the season . Finally, a long- awaited racing weekend came here, which was made up of two different competitions. On S atur day, 8th April was held the Regional Championship 2017 in C Program, organized by our club. We were nervous because of the new agg routine and how our execution in rg will end this year. We arrived at 11:00 to the gym, because we had to prepare for our first performance. The competition for our cate gories started at 14:30, so we had plenty of time to do our make-up and hairst yles. In the morning progr amme for girls and pre-juniors we had two p erfor mances. First pair Saura performe d their new ball routine for A1 program and then seniors performed their Golden Boy free routine for A1 program. We enj oyed it very much and it was a great control training for the Sunday's com petition.   Opening Ceremony for J...

Last weekend our members - Nina and Maja visited Padua, Italy for World Cup II in Aesthetic Group Gymnastics. They signed to volunteer and have been taken. Qualifications were held on Saturday and Finals were on Sunday. They went there only for Sunday's part of the competition, which was more than enough. Snapchat stories (@teamvoranc) After 3 hours of driving to Padua, they arrived at 9:00. Mediterranean competition started at 11:30. They helped to prepare the hall and had more free time than work. It was so much fun. The competition hall was oddly small, compared to the gyms from our national competitions or the gyms from other World Cups. There was a lot of audience from Scandinavia and other Nordic countries. The Finals were organized very well and all teams were amazing to watch. Awesome view form the VIP spot Nina with the winners - Team Minetit (FIN) Maja with one of the best AGG choreographers - Antton Laine (FIN) Winners of the Junior Finals - T...
