Gymnastics Revolution, the area’s premier center for gymnastics instruction, played host to teams from around Connecticut and New York on Sunday.  Nearly 100 gymnasts participated to test their mettle in the event, ranging in age from 7 to 16.  13 of these young gymnasts train at Gymnastics Revolution, and live locally. 

Gymnastics Revolution is a part of USA Gymnastics, an organization that governs amateur gymnastics in this country.  The event was a USA Gymnastics sanctioned competition, and gave its entrants a chance for qualification to the State Championships to be held in December. 

Competing in this type of competition requires the athlete to perform on four different events – Vault, Uneven Bars, Balance Beam, and Floor Exercise.  The gymnasts have compulsory routines that they perform in front of two separate judges, who evaluate and compare the gymnasts.  Beginning gymnasts compete in Level Four, more advanced in Level 5, and the top gymnasts from this event were Level Six.  In the end, Gymnastics Revolution’s girls came out with top scores in virtually every level and age group. 

Most of the Gymnastics Revolution gymnasts were competing for the first time in their respective levels.  In addition, Gymnastics Revolution has taken on eight new members to its girls’ team over the past few months.  The competition showed everyone that Gymnastics Revolution will be very strong this year!
