I Realised Something About Rhythmic Gymnasts

I've realised that if a rhythmic gymnast works hard enough, they usually make it to the world circuit within 10 - 12 years of doing RG.

Take Danielle Prince for example. She started RG at age 11. At the age of 23 she went to the Worlds at Stuttgart last year.

I also realised that at the age of 13, I need to be working really hard if I ever want to get to a higher level.

And be able to do a freaking handstand.

Handstands and Cartwheels (and why I can't do them)

As a dancer, being able to do a handstand or a cartwheel just wasn't necessary whatsoever.

But when I started doing RG, it became the centre of everything. In a previous post, I've mentioned a girl I do rhythmic with who can do an aerial cartwheel.

Meanwhile my handstands look like this:

I have now realised that I need to straighten my legs when doing a handstand or cartwheel.

I used to be able to do a proper handstand and cartwheel. But we're talking six years ago and about a seven year old Colour Fluff.

It was also with my left side, not my right side.
