Me too! Taping your grips holes works good. :D You have to be careful about your grips not coming off your fingers during your routine and make sure they have a good fit. One girl had one of her grips come off from her fingers during competition, and my coach stopped her routine, because you could get grips lock, get stuck on the bar, or something like that, dangerous.

Ya doping in rhythmic gymnastics seems weird; you do need to be fit and strong for it, but compared to artistic gymnastics and bars and high bar and vault, and tumbling 5 tumbling passes with double flips sure you would be surprised of the doping in the rhythmic gymnastics compared to artistic gymnastics.

It's kind of like how the Karloyi's came to the USA and changed the gymnastics programs too! but it's kind of getting to the point of over training now perhaps, with all the camps.

you could tape your grip holes! it's kind of like sewing - go in and out of the holes with the tape - sticky side on the grips, wrap tape around one side of the grips finger hole, one side at a time, making them smaller. if you use the regular standard size tape roll, split it in half the long way so that it is thinner and works better. so, if the grip hole for your ring finger is too big for[ Read More... ]

Thanks for the link trish! Ya, it is an interesting article lol. I liked the movie, but ya there were some sort of babyish or like fake -- kind of like off the script stuff rather than feeling real -- parts to the movie. Maybe those people not too much into gymnastics wouldn't like the movie so much, and would just look at the girls in the leotards in the background instead like the reviewer[ Read More... ]
